Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. The Center-Periphery Divide -- Chapter 3. The Quest for Legitimacy -- Chapter 4. Location in a Multilevel Setting -- Chapter 5. Party Conflicts and Political Representation -- Chapter 6. Making Decisions on Location -- Chapter 7. Solutions.

This book assesses the challenges faced by local governments when deciding on the location of public services. Some physical signs of government presence are vital and generally welcomed within local communities. Schools, bus stops, care facilities, and public libraries are both crucial for the functioning and sustainability of communities and symbolize governmental engagement. Conversely, other types of facilities are typically unwelcome. Waste and recycling stations, wind farms, and prisons often provoke protests from local residents. Drawing on evidence from Sweden, this book argues that decisions on how to locate services are inherently political, and that in order to succeed, authorities need to ensure that their policies are perceived as legitimate. It also demonstrates how the problem of locating public services is a universal issue, relevant to governments at all levels and in all countries. As urbanization and pressure on welfare systems grow, the problem of locating public services looks set to become more pressing, and the themes raised in the book are likely to remain relevant for years to come. It will appeal to researchers and practitioners in the fields of public administration and local government studies, as well as policymakers and public officials. Jenny de Fine Licht is Associate Professor of Public Administration at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. Her research interests include political transparency and legitimacy. David Karlsson is Professor of Public Administration at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. His research focuses on local politics and democracy. Louise Skoog is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Umeå University, Sweden. Her research interests include political conflicts and multi-level governance.
