Lindsay Mayka (Maine Colby College)

Building Participatory Institutions in Latin America

Reform Coalitions and Institutional Change

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explains how and why some national mandates for participatory policymaking develop into powerful institutions for citizen engagement. It argues that participatory institution building can happen when new participatory institutions originate in sweeping policy reforms that attract the support of powerful stakeholders who normally would not support participatory policymaking.
