Changing local governance, changing citizens
"This book offers a new contribution to the field of citizen involvement and participation in public services...useful for both academics and students and there is also something in here for policy makers."

This excellent collection will be an invaluable guide for policy makers intent on learning from the past, understanding what works and building practice on sound conceptual foundations."

Helen Sullivan, Research Director and Palmer Chair of Public Service Partnerships, University of Birmingham

The relationship between citizens and local decision makers is a long standing policy pre-occupation and has often been the subject of debate by politicians across parties. Recent governments have sought to empower, activate and give responsibility to some citizens, while other groups have been abandoned or ignored.
Mixing policy discussion and empirical work by leading researchers in the field, this book explains what debates about local governance mean for local people.
It explores governance and citizenship in relation to multiculturalism, economic migration, community cohesion, housing markets, neighbourhoods, faith organisations, behaviour change and e-democracy in order to establish a differentiated, contemporary view of the ways that citizens are constituted at the local level today.
