Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment favoriser la participation des citoyens dans les projets de la commune ? Est-il possible de partager le pouvoir et les savoirs ? Comment conduire une démarche locale participative, d'éducation populaire et d'intervention sociale ? Longtemps responsable de la " politique de la ville ", passionné par l'exercice de la démocratie authentique, l'auteur analyse cette politique publique de l'Etat et propose des réformes. Il décrit de nouveaux outils, créés en interne à l'administration ou externe pour le territoire, qui permettent aujourd'hui à la ville de développer une démarche démocratique authentique dans de très nombreux domaines. S'appuyant sur des exemples concrets (accompagnement d'une reconstruction démolition cité Montillet, création d'une Maison Pour Tous, Conseils de ville et de voisinage, Charte de la démocratie locale...), ce livre propose des pistes d'actions pour le service public et la construction d'un nouveau projet de transformation sociale pour une nouvelle République solidaire et démocratique. Habitants, élus, professionnels trouveront de multiples éléments pour fabriquer la ville avec et pour les habitants au quotidien et faire société autrement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'auteur montre que la citoyenneté du citadin est, tous les jours, bafouée par " l'Etat communal " et les grands organismes gestionnaires. Ce qui est dur à vivre pour les inclus des villes devient carrément insupportable pour les exclus. Or, il y a dans la France rurale une vraie démocratie locale qui, repensée pour la ville, pourrait :" faire en sorte que note condamnation à vivre ensemble ne soit pas l'enfer ".

This book was released on 2019-06-17 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans des sociétés traversées par l'exigence d'information et de renouvellement de la démocratie, la question urbaine est au cœur d'expérimentations et de réflexions sur la part que peuvent jouer les savoirs ordinaires dans une gouvernance participative. Face à la recrudescence des dispositifs participatifs, les savoirs citoyens apparaissent, à l'observation, comme une catégorie d'analyse pertinente pour analyser la participation des citoyens et définir leur apport dans l'action publique locale. Cette notion rend également compte de la pluralisation des formes d'expertise qui se produisent sur les scènes urbaines et de l'apparition de nouvelles formes et domaines de mobilisation. Dans toutes les villes post-industrielles comme dans les villes en développement émergent en effet de nouveaux enjeux environnementaux, métropolitains, de transport, de cohabitation et de mixité, sur lesquels les citoyens s'investissent. Des défis urbains considérables – comme la gestion de la croissance, la lutte contre l'habitat précaire ou le mal-logement – sont aussi en cause. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de contribuer à décloisonner les regards sur les savoirs citoyens, afin de retracer la formation des capacités, ressources et formes d'apprentissage mobilisées dans les lieux et scènes de mobilisation – programmés ou non –, de redonner à ces savoirs consistance et visibilité en retraçant leurs variations sociales, résidentielles, de genre. Le renouvellement de la démocratie urbaine passe par la compréhension des contextes urbains où les savoirs citoyens trouvent à s'exprimer, à se mettre en forme et à être reconnus. Il s'agit ici de cerner la forme et le fond de ces savoirs citoyens qui font le sel des luttes urbaines et souvent l'impensé des politiques publiques.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Espace public et engagement politique, deux notions à propos desquelles les interrogations sont aujourd'hui nombreuses, et que cet ouvrage aborde non pas tant du point de vue des définitions normatives qu'à partir d'analyses localisées. Comment fonctionnent effectivement, dans des quartiers urbains, des espaces publics pour la plupart créés par les instances politiques " légitimes " ; quelles sont les évolutions actuelles du rapport au politique, de l'appartenance à une communauté politique ; comment les " citoyens ordinaires " eux-mêmes constituent-ils leurs relations, collectives et/ou en tant qu'individus, avec les autres, et y compris avec les institutions ? Autant de questions abordées ici au fil d'expériences concrètes, et dont les analyses viennent enrichir la réflexion sur les conditions et les limites de la citoyenneté locale.

Download or read book Local Participatory Governance and Representative Democracy written by Nils Hertting and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past few decades and throughout the world, numerous government-initiated experiments and attempts at directly engaging and including citizens have emerged as remedies for a variety of problems faced by modern democracies, including political disaffection and insufficient capacity to deal with the complexity inherent in many contemporary public problems, such as climate change and segregation. In practice, these attempts are given many names, such as citizen panels, deliberative fora, collaborative dialogues, etc. In the academic literature as well, the phenomenon falls under many different headings, for instance collaborative, deliberative or interactive governance. Participatory Governance and Representative Democracy refers to this empirical phenomenon as local participatory governance, that is, government-sponsored direct participation between invited citizens and local officials in concrete arrangements and concerning problems that affect them. Participatory governance, we argue, may take many forms, regarding (1) type of interaction and type of communication between participants within the specific participatory arrangement (e.g., deliberative vs. aggregative) as well as regarding (2) the relation and connection between the specific arrangement and the more traditional representative structures (e.g., compatible, incompatible, transformative or irrelevant). The proposed edited volume addresses the matter of institutionalization, highlighting the difficulties associated with establishing stability and a shared understanding of the roles and rules among citizens, local politicians and administrators in participatory arrangements.

Download or read book Schools of Democracy written by Julien Talpin and published by ECPR Press. This book was released on 2012-08-19 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools of Democracy offers a vivid analysis of the long-term impact of engagement in participatory budgeting institutions in Europe. While democratic innovations flourish around the world, there have been great hopes for their potential to revitalize representative government and solve the increasing apathy of the public. Based on a rich ethnographic study in France, Italy and Spain, this book shows how participatory institutions can encourage personal involvement, by creating the procedural and social conditions conducive to the formation of a competent and involved citizenry. Rather than deliberation itself, it seems that informal discussions and interactions between a diverse public allow mutual learning and the beginning of a political trajectory for people at the margins of the public sphere. However, this book also shows that citizens can become disappointed by the little decision-making power they are granted, as they leave the process often more cynical than before. Contains: A unique study on the long-term individual impact of engagement in participatory institutions. While most research deal with short-term impact, Schools of democracy addresses impact of participation after two years of engagement. Unique access to the black box of participatory institutions. While research on democratic innovations generally opt for an externalist perspective, Schools of democracy details the routine of deliberative interactions, showing how ordinary citizens speak up in public assemblies. From this perspective, the book offers incredibly rich empirical material -- coming from ethnographic research -- on how participatory democracy works. An original theoretical framework to the study of the individual impacts of participatory engagement. While most research are based on an implicit rational choice perspective, the pragmatist perspective adopted here sheds a different light on the studied phenomenon, stressing the co-construction of actors and their environment.

Download or read book Reinventing Democracy written by João Arriscado Nunes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies gathered in this volume focus on Portuguese society, from the creative social and political experimentation by citizen and popular movements during the revolution of 1974/75 to more recent episodes of alternative economic organisation, popular mobilization over the claim of local populations to self-government, local environmental conflicts, transformations in trade-unionism, transnational solidarity movements and citizen participation on territorial planning. They explicitly explore the relationships and tensions between difference and equality, citizenship and difference, state/society relationships and local identities and European integration as part of broader processes of globalisation and of the emergence of new experiences of active citizenship. This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal South European Society and Politics.

Book excerpt: This text challenges the belief that cities will eventually disappear as territorial forms of social organization as new information technologies permit the articulation of social processes without regard for distance, arguing that the specific role of cities will become more important, and proposing that a dynamic and creative relationship be built up between the local and the global. In this way, cities will remain the focus of social organization, political management and cultural expression, equipped to deal with the enormous social and environmental problems of urbanization.

Download or read book African Studies in Geography from Below written by Ben Arrous and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of international relations (inter-state, indeed), territorial ideologies, the logic of autochthony and its ramifications, ethnic cleansing, are all hinged at different levels upon the same pseudo-fact: to every society a closed and exclusive territory demarcated by fixed and linear borders. This way of thinking, totally foreign to African societies for a long time, has generated today more contradictions than it can ever solve. The authors of this book make a clear distinction between territory formation "from the top" as being a deliberate political project, and its formation "from below" as being a more diffused historical process which is determined by the scheme of antagonisms and compromises between social forces. In lieu of a stark opposition between "the top" and "below", the authors unveil the interdependence and mutual influence which form the basis of a dual system within which legal formation -by the colonial authorities first, then by the postcolonial one- is confronted with a host of subaltern spatial dynamics, neglecting thereby the legitimacy which only them can provide. As an essential read for anyone who is interested in the relationship between knowledge and power, this book offers stimulating perspectives on the issue of African unity and its epistemological and political challenges. It renews profoundly our approaches to human security, citizenship, borders and mobility. Contributions are in English and in French.

Download or read book Engendering Cities written by Inés Sánchez de Madariaga and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engendering Cities examines the contemporary research, policy, and practice of designing for gender in urban spaces. Gender matters in city design, yet despite legislative mandates across the globe to provide equal access to services for men and women alike, these issues are still often overlooked or inadequately addressed. This book looks at critical aspects of contemporary cities regarding gender, including topics such as transport, housing, public health, education, caring, infrastructure, as well as issues which are rarely addressed in planning, design, and policy, such as the importance of toilets for education and clothes washers for freeing-up time. In the first section, a number of chapters in the book assess past, current, and projected conditions in cities vis-à-vis gender issues and needs. In the second section, the book assesses existing policy, planning, and design efforts to improve women’s and men’s concerns in urban living. Finally, the book proposes changes to existing policies and practices in urban planning and design, including its thinking (theory) and norms (ethics). The book applies the current scholarship on theory and practice related to gender in a planning context, elaborating on some critical community-focused reflections on gender and design. It will be key reading for scholars and students of planning, architecture, design, gender studies, sociology, anthropology, geography, and political science. It will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers, providing discussion of emerging topics in the field.
