Viac o knihe

Focusing on civic participation's role in democracy, this book analyzes the Blackbird Leys area of Oxford through a unique empirical lens. It investigates whether increased civic engagement can improve democratic outcomes in deprived communities, addressing the historical context of participation in the area. By grounding its findings in specific case studies rather than abstract theories, it offers valuable insights for scholars of democratic theory and those interested in the disparities of civic engagement.
