SharpMinneapolis University of Minnesota Pressc2012vii, 233 p. illGlobalization and community ;v. 19Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph0-8166-7708-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction. Government programs matter: political learning, policy feedbacks, and the policy-centered approach -- The participatory impacts of county governments' means-tested and universal social programs -- City government and neighborhoods: intentional empowerment and reactionary mobilization -- Community policing: a reform policy for police responsiveness -- City government, economic development incentives, and business influence -- The impact of development incentive policy reform: a case study -- Policy-centered theory and urban programs: community effects in a global context.Unlike other feedback theory investigations, which tend to focus on federal government programmes, this book looks at a broad range of policy at the local level, including community policing programmes, economic development for businesses, and neighbourhood empowerment programmes. The book suggests that local governments' social programme activities actually dampen participation of the have-nots, while cities' development programmes reinforce the political involvement of already-privileged business interests.Globalization and community ;v. 19.Local governmentUnited StatesMunicipal governmentUnited StatesPolitical participationUnited StatesStatesPolitical planningUnited StatesUrban policyUnited StatesElectronic books.Local governmentMunicipal governmentPolitical participationStates.Political planningUrban policy320.8/50973Sharp Elaine B1050280MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461080103321Does local government matter2479945UNINA
