Street-Level Democracy: Political Settings at the Margins of Global Power

Viac o knihe

Using colourful and detailed case material, "Street-Level Democracy" introduces a new method of researching everyday politics. It is a wide-ranging book that traces the conflicts between global power and local action. People in farming communities, town mosques, city markets, and fishing communities suffer the effects of wrenching change, but live far from the centres of power. From Britain and small-town USA to Nigeria, India, and Nicaragua, citizens everywhere grapple with the politics of everyday life.
