{"product_id":"9780820377162","title":"Territorializing Democracy : Strategies of Popular Participation in Buenos Aires - Sam Halvorsen","description":"\u003cp\u003eTerritorializing Democracy argues that the political control of space is key to understanding political participation in the city. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sam Halvorsen","offers":[{"title":"244 pages, 2 Maps; 2 Maps; 2 Maps; 2 Maps; 2 Maps; 2 Maps; 2 Maps \/ 15\/07\/2026 \/ Human geography","offer_id":57208660853111,"sku":"9780820377162","price":31.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780820377162","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
