Abstract:

This chapter provides a detailed example of participatory environmental governance. The experience of the community forest movement and its participatory governance practices in Nepal offers important insights into the broader tensions between democratic participation and technical expertise in climate change policy, especially the role of facilitating public engagement. It explains how a federation established by political activists set up a civil society association that challenged the national Ministry of Forestry and its scientific practices. It also presents the role of a civil society think tank that supported these activities. The efforts of this community forest movement are especially important given the crucial role of forests in reducing carbon emissions. For this reason, it has become a model for global protection of forests in countries around the globe. The chapter presents this development and interrogates its lessons about participatory governance, advanced as an alternative approach to environmental democracy.

Abstract:

After having explored various locally oriented projects in participatory governance that present practical alternatives to the theory of deliberative democracy, this chapter examines the democratic participatory potentials and realities of other local initiatives. It looks at the participatory activities of cities, including large cities, with a particular focus on the role for citizens in programs designed for adaptive responses to the consequences of climate change. Sponsored by city officials, these participatory initiatives are seen to be largely top-down in nature and not generally democratic per se. We then turn to the Transition Town movement, often cited by environmentalists as a progressive ecological alternative founded on citizen engagement. The participatory activities of this movement, while ecologically credible, are shown not to be geared to the furtherance of democratic practices. One main reason has to do with its emphasis on the theory of resilience, which ignores the political questions raised by ecological transition.

Abstract:

The participation gap arises from two contrasting trends. Voting turnout is generally declining, especially among citizens with lower social status. At the same time, more people are participating in civil-society activity, contacting government officials, protesting, and using online activism and other creative forms of participation. These non-electoral activities are growing because of more activity by higher-social-status citizens. The democratic principle of the equality of voice is eroding. The politically rich are getting richer—and the politically needy exercise less voice. This book assembles an unprecedented set of international public-opinion surveys to identify the individual, institutional, and political factors that produce these trends. New forms of activity place greater demands on participants, raising the importance of social-status skills and resources. Civil-society activity further widens the participation gap. New norms of citizenship shift how people participate. And generational change and new online forms of activism accentuate this process. Effective and representative government requires a participatory citizenry and equal voice, and participation trends are undermining these outcomes. The Participation Gap both documents the growing participation gap in contemporary democracies and suggests ways that we can better achieve their theoretical ideal of a participatory citizenry and equal voice.

Abstract:

This chapter considers subject inclusion in multinational studies. Many studies are initiated and financed by wealthy countries but are conducted in low-income countries. Community engagement and participatory research have a long history in developing-country research. Over the years, there has been impressive progress in including experienced subjects and other community members in research activities and in integrating research staff into communities where research is being carried out. This progress is due in part to the contributions of social scientists examining and evaluating various ways to involve subjects and other community residents in research decisions. The practice of “embedded ethics” is an advance that should be applied in domestic research as well.

Abstract:

This chapter explores what ‘arts in health’ actually is. It considers some of the existing models for explaining the scope of arts in health practice and proposes a new way of categorizing arts in health activity. It outlines seven of the key areas of activity, including the use of arts and design in the healthcare environment, participatory arts programmes for specific patient groups, general arts activities in everyday life, arts in psychotherapy, arts in healthcare technology, arts-based training, and arts in health education. For each, a brief history of the development of activity is provided along with case studies of practice and resources for learning more. The chapter also considers how arts in health sits in relation to other fields such as medical humanities.

Abstract:

Chapter 1 examines the worship concert, a mass gathering marked by participatory engagement that differentiates it from a “mere” concert, as a lens to investigate the interplay between pop-rock performance conventions and evangelical congregational singing. It identifies the range of performative strategies whereby a contemporary worship-music concert crowd becomes authenticated as a concert congregation united in worship. Through musical style, song lyrics, and discourse about music-making, many of the activities associated with rock concerts are reframed as acts of worship. This reframing has musical and political consequences: understanding the concert gathering as worship shapes evangelical expectations of the “worship experience,” which in turn influences what evangelicals expect from worship music in their local church congregations. The desire to realize these ideals fuels the sale of worship-related music commodities produced by the Christian recording industry.

Abstract:

The history of the Watch and Ward Society following the controversies of the 1920s and 1930s is briefly reviewed. The strategies and tactics employed by the Watch and Ward Society help us better understand why mainline Protestantism’s efforts to impose a common civic morality upon American culture eventually failed. The collapse of its activities in the 1930s signaled the beginning of the end of Protestant cultural hegemony in the United States. The epilogue concludes with a brief discussion of the role of religion and participatory pluralism in American culture. The demise of the Watch and Ward Society teaches today’s culture warriors—on the right and on the left—that coercive methods employed by the critics of the moral reform movement may often ultimately fail to achieve the sort of cultural consensus that can serve the common good.

Abstract:

While Chapter 8 focused on grand strategy for awareness that honor killing is incompatible with truly honorable ways of life, this chapter emphasizes specific tactics for achieving a sustainable end to honor killing. The bottom-up, grassroots, and participatory programs discussed here will collectively break cycles of deadly violence. Tostan is recommended as a model for the diffusion of innovative ideas and norms and for community buy-in and ownership. School-based programs all serve the objectives of developing gender equality and respect for diversity, managing anger and emotional volatility, and increasing problem-solving competencies. Community-service programs will enable male youth to benefit from engagement with adult male leaders who do not have violence-prone personalities. Emphasis is placed on public health initiatives and self-improvement workshops for women, as well as couples’ training on domestic violence prevention and financial services. All activities will take place at or be coordinated through a collaborative community-school facility.

Abstract:

Civic disengagement has left us with a dangerous chasm between political institutions and the public. This book sets out why and how governments should reconnect with the citizens they serve, both for the sake of democratic legitimacy and public service improvement. It brings together a team of academic experts and public policy leaders to examine the pros and cons of different approaches to develop effective state-citizen cooperation. While there is a role for activities which are designed to bypass the state by leaving matters to private organisations, or pressurise it through lobbying or protesting, no democratic society can function well unless citizens and their government are able to work in partnership in defining and pursuing the public interest. Drawing on extensive research and practical experience of participatory engagement, civic co-production, deliberative democracy, citizenship education, community empowerment from around the world, as well as the UK’s nationwide action-learning programme for civil renewal, ‘Together We Can’, this book analyses the pitfalls and obstacles that need to be anticipated and overcome, and puts forward clear recommendations for achieving sustainable improvements in how state bodies and citizens can secure the common good.

Abstract:

In Berlin, decrepit structures do not always denote urban blight. Decayed buildings are incorporated into everyday life as residences, exhibition spaces, shops, offices, and as leisure space. As nodes of public dialogue, they serve as platforms for dissenting views about the future and past of Berlin. This book introduces the concept of counter-preservation as a way to understand this intentional appropriation of decrepitude. The embrace of decay is a sign of Berlin's iconoclastic rebelliousness, but it has also been incorporated into the mainstream economy of tourism and development as part of the city's countercultural cachet. It presents the possibilities and shortcomings of counter-preservation as a dynamic force in Berlin and as a potential concept for other cities. Counter-preservation is part of Berlin's fabric: in the city's famed Hausprojekte (living projects) such as the Køpi, Tuntenhaus, and KA 86; in cultural centers such as the Haus Schwarzenberg, the Schokoladen, and the legendary, now defunct Tacheles; in memorials and museums; and even in commerce and residences. The appropriation of ruins is a way of carving out affordable spaces for housing, work, and cultural activities. It is also a visual statement against gentrification, and a complex representation of history, with the marks of different periods—the nineteenth century, World War II, postwar division, unification—on display for all to see. Counter-preservation exemplifies an everyday urbanism in which citizens shape private and public spaces with their own hands, but it also influences more formal designs, such as the Topography of Terror, the Berlin Wall Memorial, and Daniel Libeskind's unbuilt redevelopment proposal for a site peppered with ruins of Nazi barracks. By featuring these examples, the book questions conventional notions of architectural authorship and points toward the value of participatory environments.

Abstract:

Throughout the late 19th century and most of the 20th century, risks associated with wildfire were addressed by suppressing fires as quickly as possible. However, by the 1960s, it became clear that fire exclusion policies were having adverse effects on ecological health, as well as contributing to larger and more damaging wildfires over time. Although federal fire policy has changed to allow fire to be used as a management tool on the landscape, this change has been slow to take place, while the number of people living in high-risk wildland–urban interface communities continues to increase. Under a variety of climate scenarios, in particular for states in the western United States, it is expected that the frequency and severity of fires will continue to increase, posing even greater risks to local communities and regional economies.Resource managers and public safety officials are increasingly aware of the need for strategic communication to both encourage appropriate risk mitigation behavior at the household level, as well as build continued public support for the use of fire as a management tool aimed at reducing future wildfire risk. Household decision making encompasses both proactively engaging in risk mitigation activities on private property, as well as taking appropriate action during a wildfire event to protect personal safety. Very little research has directly explored the connection between climate-related beliefs, wildfire risk perception, and action; however, the limited existing research suggests that climate-related beliefs have little direct effect on wildfire-related action. Instead, action appears to depend on understanding the benefits of different mitigation actions and in engaging the public in interactive, participatory communication programs that build trust between the public and natural resource managers. A relatively new line of research focuses on resource managers as critical decision makers in the risk management process, pointing to the need to thoughtfully engage audiences other than the lay public to improve risk management.Ultimately, improving the decision making of both the public and managers charged with mitigating the risks associated with wildfire can be achieved by carefully addressing several common themes from the literature. These themes are to (1) promote increased efficacy through interactive learning, (2) build trust and capacity through social interaction, (3) account for behavioral constraints and barriers to action, and (4) facilitate thoughtful consideration of risk-benefit tradeoffs. Careful attention to these challenges will improve the likelihood of successfully managing the increasing risks that wildfire poses to the public and ecosystems alike in a changing climate.
