Download or read book Barrio Democracy in Latin America written by Eduardo Canel and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transition to democracy underway in Latin America since the 1980s has recently witnessed a resurgence of interest in experimenting with new forms of local governance emphasizing more participation by ordinary citizens. The hope is both to foster the spread of democracy and to improve equity in the distribution of resources. While participatory budgeting has been a favorite topic of many scholars studying this new phenomenon, there are many other types of ongoing experiments. In Barrio Democracy in Latin America, Eduardo Canel focuses our attention on the innovative participatory programs launched by the leftist government in Montevideo, Uruguay, in the early 1990s. Based on his extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Canel examines how local activists in three low-income neighborhoods in that city dealt with the opportunities and challenges of implementing democratic practices and building better relationships with sympathetic city officials.

Download or read book Decentralization written by Brian C. Smith and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, Decentralization provides an analytical framework for the comparative study of decentralization in contemporary systems of government. It discusses the structures and processes of all forms of decentralized government and administration, drawing on a wide range of states, developed and developing, capitalist and socialist. The book provides a comparative and theoretical treatment of a subject that for too long has been dealt with in a fragmented and ethnocentric fashion. Decentralization is examined from a theoretical perspective and the political demand for it is analysed. Four key universal themes are then explored: areas, intergovernmental relations, finance and institutions. Decentralization to small-scale communities is discussed and the special claims made for decentralization in developing countries are assessed. Examples are drawn from a wide range of countries throughout the world. The book is intended for courses in public administration, comparative government, urban studies and public policy. It will help both the student and the non-specialist understand an important and topical aspect of government everywhere.

Download or read book Mind Your Own Business written by Gábor Péteri and published by Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiative. This book was released on 2008 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Usually functioning in parallel to the proportional electoral system, community-level governments are rooted in mostly rural areas where traditional agricultural production is the norm. The legitimacy of community-level governments is based on trust and a higher sense of community responsibility and this study finds that they could well serve as advocates of community issues, messengers in elected local councils, providers of some community public services on behalf of local government, and managers of public administration matters. Mind Your Own Business! recognizes the potential of community-level governments for new forms of representation and alternative accountability mechanisms away from the center of government. This study compares the historical precedents in South Eastern Europe and Poland for community-level governance before moving to contrast the current practice and the future of this valuable resource for bringing services and rights to rural communities. Any further decentralization reforms in the public sector must consider how to develop power in such a decisive way that local communities are empowered by opportunities for sustainable development.

Download or read book Neighborhood Government written by Milton Kotler and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of intense urban civil unrest in the United States, this classic text by Milton Kotler was the first to forcefully demonstrate how governance on the neighborhood level could allow Americans to regain liberty and the right to govern their own lives. Kotler's original project showed how towns--once independent but then later annexed by adjacent cities--became exploited by centralized downtown power. As relevant today as it was when originally published in 1969, Neighborhood Government continues to speak to American cities whose faces have been radically changed by immigration, urban sprawl, and communities fractured by pervasive economic and racial inequality. With a new critical foreword by Terry L. Cooper that places the text within contemporary debates and a new foreword and afterword from the author, Neighborhood Government continues to be a vital work for anyone interested in the economic, social, and political health of American cities and the continuing struggle to increase community investment and control.
