Information Science Reference Civic Engagement in Social and Political Constructs

Though governments play an important role in everyday life, citizen commitment to understanding government policy and procedures is lacking. Without creating an environment that properly holds governments accountable for their actions, the rights and liberties of citizens become threatened. Civic Engagement in Social and Political Constructs is an essential reference source that discusses global civic engagement practices as well as social change through political means. Featuring research on topics such as citizen participation, political engagement, and political reform, this book is ideally designed for political scientists, politicians, sociologists, researchers, government officials, and students seeking coverage on individual and societal engagement through civic means.
