Books in the Democratic Dilemmas and Policy Responsiveness series

This book presents a philosophy of and strategies for a war on poverty and impoverished citizenship for the twenty-first century. It focuses on the United States, with comparison to some international experiences, and considers poverty in all its forms-subsistence, agency, and status.

Using a global and multi-generational approach, this volume reveals the persistent need to engage as a scholarly community with questions of public ethics and citizenship. Grounded in Prof. Terry Cooper's scholarship, the editors and contributors bridge the past to the future while applying research to critical concerns of today.

The book examines public participation at all stages of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in Brazil and proposes a model for improving community involvement in the process.

The book is an attempt at providing a basic understanding of public administration theory and practice in a democratic-capitalistic-republican state. It is unique in that the book provides rich democratic practices and introduces new theoretical constructs for reparation and democratic citizenship.
