Dipankar Gupta

From 'People' to 'Citizen' (eBook, ePUB)

Democracy's Must Take Road

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The book brings together social theory with policy practice to enlarge our understanding of democracy. It focuses on the specific concerns of 'citizenship' where individuals have equal & quality access to health, education and urban services. The emphasis is on empowering 'citizens' as a common category & not 'people' of any specific community/ class. Differences between citizens are not denied, in fact encouraged, but only after achieving a basic unity first. This book argues that the call of citizenship not only advances democracy, but social science as well.
