Contributors discuss the issue of popular participation in the political decision-making process, which has led to the creation of community action groups and local and regional organizations that foster economic development. They take a hard look at the nature of relationships with other levels of government and address the problems caused by a shrinking budget.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Picard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0275923142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275923143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d","brand":"Louis Picard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001100681471,"sku":"9780275923143","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_81110eb5-a7e5-40d4-895c-08ceaf117d89.jpg?v=1751600066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/subnational-politics-in-the-1980s-louis-picard-9780275923143","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
