Beyond Good Governance is a
new book edited by Marisol Estrella and Nina Iszatt. It is published by
the Institute of Popular Democracy (IPD) based in the Philippines. It
brings together the experiences of the Bayan Governance Consortium on
participatory governance.
The book features ten individual case studies with their own unique stories
and lessons to share. Collectively they describe how people are changing
the way they look at politics and how they engage with it.
The case studies provide ample material to explore, expand and challenge
concepts and discourses on "participation", "good governance"
and "empowerment". Participation in governance takes on new
meanings as ordinary citizens develop a personal stake in striving for
genuine democratic change, as well as transforming power relations that
perpetuate injustice, poverty and marginalisation.
This book will appeal to readers interested in participatory processes
and political change, including activists and local governance practitioners,
policy makers, development professionals, and researchers.
