How can government stay linked to its citizens? Across the world,
governments' basic principles are turned on their heads as global
markets, weakened national states, and active citizens emerge.
Governments increasingly act not alone, but many governments and
private groups make policy jointly - labeled 'governance'. But this
raises new concerns for adequate citizen responsiveness. Leaders
and parties previously considered left or right make unexpected
choices - as leaders explore Third Ways, New Political Cultures,
and more. As policy choices grow more complicated, they are harder
to present to citizens - which undermines citizen legitimacy of
parties and elected officials.
How can government maintain democratic accountability? This
volume explores new answers by probing citizen involvement in
specific cities and countries the world over. There is no single
problem, hence no single remedy. But by contrasting key elements of
national and local contexts, this volume offers lessons about how
citizens are variously activated; about what works, where, and why.
From specific results emerge insights about how citizens may drive
policy, or be ignored, in a time of turbulence and rapid cultural
change for government policy making.
