Drawing on original research based in 47 Commonwealth countries, the three authors of this volume (a UK-based social policy specialist, a Zimbabwe-based gender specialist, and an Indian authority on political participation) examine the ways in which ordinary citizens are being brought back to the center of the political process. Distributed by Stylus. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The aim of this text is to analyze the conditions for a good society and, from extensive international research, to show how citizens can be put at the centre of the political process. This has enormous importance for future policy which the authors explore. With support from the Commonwealth Foundation, the book sets out to change the current political consensus and demonstrate the route forward to sustainable development.
