Local Organizations and Urban Governance in East and Southeast Asia: Straddling state and society: Routledge Studies on Civil Society in Asia
Editat de Benjamin L. Read, Robert Pekkanenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2011
The contributors investigate organizations ranging from volunteer-based organizations that partner with government in providing services for homeless children, to state-managed networks of neighborhood- or village-level associations that perform representative as well as administrative functions and seeks to answer a number of questions:
- When do the "vertical," top-down imperatives of the state stifle "horizontal" solidarities, and when might the two work in harmony?
- Are useful social and administrative purposes served by this type of fusion?
- Does it amplify or merely muffle citizens’ voices?
- What does it tell us about existing accounts of community, social capital, "synergy," "complementarity," "subsidiarity," and related concepts?

Descriere
Brings together enterprising pieces of new research on the many forms of organization in East and Southeast Asia that are sponsored or mandated by government, but engage widespread participation at the grassroots level. Straddling the state-society divide, these organizations play important roles in society and politics, yet are dimly understood.
