It presents the contest for political power within states structures showing us that it is not enough the existence of democratic processes to provide an active and participatory society. How this process occurs will give sense and meaning. -- Prof Dr Maria da Gloria Gohn, Professor of Sociology at the University of Campinas, Brazil Takes readers deep inside the interworking of the one of world's most well-known participatory experiences.
