Street-level democracy

the long version

"Street-Level Democracy looks at the conflicts between global power and local action. The book highlights seven distinct regions of the world and considers how active citizens experience and respond to the pressures of change. Barker also presents a new method of research into the dynamics of everyday politics."--BOOK JACKET. "Street-Level Democracy includes colourful and detailed case material. It sets up comparisons among different towns and cities around the world. These broad-based studies make it an excellent resource for students, libraries, and community activists."--BOOK JACKET.
