PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
This Study Analyzes A New Phenomenon Emerging In Urban Neighbourhoods In China ? Bottom-Up Citizen Engagement?Including The Direct Election Of Community Representatives, Rights Talk And The Creation Of Rules For Self-Direction. The Study Looks At How The New Values Have Emerged And The Historical And Contextual Factors That Have Driven Their Development. A Multi-Level Analysis Was Employed In Combining A Socio-Cultural Analysis With An Empirical Examination, Including The Results Of A Quantitative Survey Of Residents Of Several Beijing Neighbourhoods. The New Value Is An Unprecedented Development In Chinese Culture In Contrast With The Traditional Top-Down Discourse. The Empirical Data Also Reveal That Factors Such As Age, Levels Of Education, Or Residence In A Certain Type Of Community Structure Influence Whether Or Not An Individual Is Likely To Engage In Bottom-Up Participation. People?S Awareness Of The Option Of Citizen Engagement Is Gradual And Cumulative, But Indigenous Resources For Developing A Democratic Neighbourhood Are Increasing, As More People Become Property Owners And Have The Opportunity To Travel To Other Countries Where Citizen Engagement Is More Common.
