Reviving democracy: citizens at the heart of governance
This book is based on a two-year research study, using a variety of participatory techniques at local, regional and international levels in 47 countries of the Commonwealth, and involving 10,000 citizens. Citizens in these countries were asked: What is your view of a good society? To what extent does such a society exist today? What roles are best played by citizens and what roles are best played by the state and other sectors in such a good society? What would enable citizens to play their role in the development of society more effectively in future?
