Citizen Participation at the Local Level in China and Canada

Book Overview

This book presents the work of leading scholars on the topic of citizen participation at the local level.

Coverage includes the characteristics of political culture and climate on local participation; factors especially unique to urban poor, class migration, aboriginal, and immigrant populations; means of protest, demonstration, and articulation of preference by populations; land-use, housing, urban development, and resource sustainability.
