Neighborhood Government : The Local Foundations Of Political Life, Paperback by Kotler, Milton; Cooper, Terry L. (INT), ISBN 073910991X, ISBN-13 9780739109915, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Originally published in 1969 at a time of widespread disenchantment with American governmental structures, Neighborhood Government argued that the roots of American political problems lay in the dominance of neighborhoods by central cities. Political scholar- activist Kotler called and worked for the founding of deliberative neighborhood governments that would be considered legitimate parts of the official municipal governance system, a legacy that lives on incompletely in the form of neighborhood councils in many cities today. This new edition of the work is accompanied by a new critical introduction by Terry Cooper (citizenship and democratic values, U. of Southern California) assessing the legacy of Kotler's work.
