The relationship between citizens and local decision makers is a
long standing policy pre-occupation and has often been the subject
of debate by politicians across parties. Recent governments have
sought to empower, activate and give responsibility to some
citizens, while other groups have been abandoned or ignored.
Drawing on extensive up-to-date empirical work by leading
researchers in the field, "Changing local governance, changing
citizens" aims to explain what debates about local governance mean
for local people. Questions addressed include: what new demands are
being made on citizens and why? Which citizens are affected and how
have they responded? What difference do changing forms of local
governance make to people's lives? The book explores governance and
citizenship in relation to multiculturalism, economic migration,
community cohesion, housing markets, neighbourhoods, faith
organisations, behaviour change and e-democracy in order to
establish a differentiated, contemporary view of the ways that
citizens are constituted at the local level today. "Changing local
governance, changing citizens" provides a pertinent and robustly
empirical contribution to current debates amongst policy makers,
academics, practitioners and local communities about how to respond
to this changing policy framework. It will be of interest to
post-graduate students and academic researchers in politics, public
and social policy, sociology, local government and urban studies,
as well as policy makers and practitioners.
