Power, Culture and Place
Author: John H. MollenkopfPublisher: Russell Sage Foundation
ISBN: 1610444035
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
With a population and budget exceeding that of many nations, a central position in the world's cultural and corporate networks, and enormous concentrations off wealth and poverty, New York City intensifies interactions among social forces that elsewhere may be hidden or safely separated. The essays in Power, Culture, and Place represent the first comprehensive program of research on this city in a quarter century. Focusing on three historical transformations—the mercantile, industrial, and postindustrial—several contributors explore economic growth and change and the social conflicts that accompanied them. Other papers suggest how popular culture, public space, and street life served as sources of order amidst conflict and disorder. Essays on politics and pluralism offer further reflections on how social tensions are harnessed in the framework of political participation. By examining the intersection of economics, culture, and politics in a shared spatial context, these multidisciplinary essays not only illuminate the City's fascinating and complex development, but also highlight the significance of a sense of "place" for social research. It has been said that cities gave birth to the social sciences, exemplifying and propagating dramatic social changes and proving ideal laboratories for the study of social patterns and their evolution. As John Mollenkopf and his colleagues argue, New York City remains the quintessential case in point.

Participatory Democracy
Author: Joseph F. ZimmermanPublisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This volume examines the principal forms of direct citizen decisionmaking in the United States and two relatively new systems for enhancing the role of citizens in New York City governance. Zimmerman offers descriptive and analytic information on the 356-year institution--the open town meeting--the referendum, the initiative, the recall, and the New York community school boards and community boards. He also discusses the impact of direct citizen action on representative government; the importance of open government and accurate and full information on issues to assist citizens in resolving issues; the need for ethical standards for elected and public officials, to ensure that citizens are not burdened by malefeasance, misfeasance, and nonfeasance; and the need for a grant of local discretionary authority by the state.
