Governing the Island of Montreal: Language Differences and Metropolitan Politics
by Andrew Sancton
"A superb study of the evolving governance of the city of Montreal and what motivates its politics today. Sancton, an academic who spent ten years gathering and compiling his material, demonstrates how before 1960 local government reflected and perpetuated the isolation of French and English; then, how the modernization of Quebec provincial politics, which took place after that date, changed the relationship between the two groups. . . . This excellent volume will appeal to students of comparative politics and urban studies—to say nothing of Canadianists who will benefit from the clearest and most straightforward exposition of Montreal politics that presently exists." —Choice

Governing Metropolitan Indianapolis: The Politics of Unigov
by C. James Owen and York Willbern
"In an interesting analysis, Owen and Willbern explore one of the few successful cases of local government consolidation as it occurred in 1969 in Indianapolis-Marion County, Indiana. The authors examine the success of the consolidation initiative, Unigov, enacted by the state legislature without benefit of a referendum. This well-researched book provides important insight into the causes and consequences of government consolidation." —Choice
