Drawing on a decade of research in Buenos Aires, this book shows that participation is not simply a response to innovations in urban governance; it is a strategy rooted in the relational context of territory. Examining key sites of activism over recent years--campaigning for a people's park, upgrading an informal settlement, the \"national-popular\" movement of Kirchnerism, and struggles over urban redevelopment--the analysis contributes to pressing democratic debates around autonomy and self-management, populism and clientelism, and democratic innovation and \"participatory articulations.\" Through the lens of space and geography, this book offers a relational analysis of popular participation, working between multiple neighborhoods and scales, across different struggles, and between the streets and political institutions, activists, and politicians. In doing so, Halvorsen proposes a dual understanding of the territorialization of democracy: a reflection of the changing political conditions shaping cities today and a tool for assessing how democratic practices emerge from specific, grounded struggles over space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Halvorsen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820377163\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820377162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Sam Halvorsen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440580243711,"sku":"9780820377162","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dfa363e7-9fed-4feb-8544-7e4dd230f2ca.jpg?v=1777183392","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/territorializing-democracy-sam-halvorsen-9780820377162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
