Citizen Responsive Government: Research in Urban Policy
Autor Terry Nichols Clark, Keith Hoggart, Fred W. Becker, Milan J. Dluhyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 dec 2000
How can government maintain democratic accountability? This volume explores new answers by probing citizen involvement in specific cities and countries the world over. There is no single problem, hence no single remedy. But by contrasting key elements of national and local contexts, this volume offers lessons about how citizens are variously activated; about what works, where, and why. From specific results emerge insights about how citizens may drive policy, or be ignored, in a time of turbulence and rapid cultural change for government policy making.
