As public issues stretch out to affect an ever expanding
population, democratizing planning and governance becomes
increasingly important. How localized communities embrace the
progressive qualities of civil society is a critical topic in an
era where diverse and divergent forces often counteract civil
society formation and community initiatives. This collection
explores the theoretical underpinnings of democratic planning and
governance in relation to civil society formation and social
learning.
The contributors to this volume use multiple lenses to uncover
the challenges of democratizing planning and governance, helping to
create a better understanding of how civil societies learn from
their experiences, and how these lessons might be applied in other
contexts. Learning Civil Societies provides insights for developing
a critical methodology for studying civil societies and their
formations and suggests that new organizational mechanisms within
and outside civil societies must be created if more democratic
forms of planning and governance are to emerge, be revitalized, and
become institutionalized in the coming decades
