- Summary:
- Concerned about the general negative character of citizen-government relationships that prevails today, King (The Evergreen State College) presents 13 papers that theorize citizen-government relations and consider means of improving them through making government institutions more participatory and socially just, including through citizen engagement, although this last is not treated as a panacea as much as it was in the earlier collection Government Is Us: Public Administration in an Antigovernment Era. The papers consider issues of democratic engagement, including: the citizenship role of the public professional, cultivating empathy as a normative value in public administration, measuring citizen engagement and collaboration, and governance through public-nonprofit partnerships. They also address stories of citizen participation in practice in relation to various initiatives around the US. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
