Taking Power Back: Putting People in Charge of Politics
ISBN: 9781447326878 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the key issues of our time is the question of where power and governance should lie.

In "Taking Power Back," Simon Parker makes a powerful case for the latter: centralization, he argues, has been largely a failure, breeding distrust among citizens who, he shows, are beginning to take matters into their own hands. Offering policy recommendations and practical suggestions,...
