"An urgent manifesto for the reconstruction of democratic belonging
in our troubled times." -Davide Panagia Across the world,
democracies are suffering from a disconnect between the people and
political elites. In communities where jobs and industry are
scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding
their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration
has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this
pattern and restore responsible government, we need to reinvigorate
democracy at the local level. But what does that mean? Drawing on
examples of successful community building in cities large and
small, from a shrinking village in rural Austria to a neglected
section of San Diego, Reconstructing Democracy makes a powerful
case for re-engaging citizens. It highlights innovative grassroots
projects and shows how local activists can form alliances and
discover their own power to solve problems.
