The quest for a theoretical framework for understanding urban
policy-making has been a recurring focus of research into local
governments. Civic culture is a means for understanding how
municipal policy-makers weigh the interests of different groups,
govern the local community, frame local goals, engage in
decision-making, and ultimately select and implement public
policies. While it seems that culture 'matters' in local policy
making, how to measure culture in a valid and replicable fashion
presents a significant challenge which the authors address in this
book. They present their findings of a large multi-city research
project to explore the nature of civic culture in cities in the US
and Canada. The focus of their analysis is on three overarching
'systems' of community power system, the community value system,
and the community decision-making system. The authors address a
number of questions around the nature of civic culture and the
relationships between the three systemic elements of civic culture,
to refine and apply a more sophisticated theory of urban
policy-making.
