This thought-provoking book conceptualizes the importance of civil
society and citizenship in building a sustainable and participatory
democracy. It considers the ways in which networks and
organizations promoting common interests contribute to this
mediating space between the public and private spheres, examining
the impacts of the diversity of values and attitudes held by these
organizations. Taking a normative position, Thomas P. Boje argues
for the importance of social justice and civility in an active,
liberating, equitable and participatory society. He presents a
series of ideas for democratic involvement and emancipation through
civil society organizations, as well as societal institutions more
generally. This innovative book concludes with a detailed
discussion of the conditions required for a participatory
democratic system in which all citizens are involved in the
planning, decision-making and implementation of crucial decisions
influencing the development of an equitable society. This timely
book will be an illuminating read for students and scholars seeking
to understand the role of civil society and real participatory
democracy in liberal democracies. It will also be a key resource
for policy makers, professionals and activists wishing to become
more informed about conditions for participatory democracy and
activism.
