Neighborhood Governance Reform and Networks of Community Power in Los Angeles
This article applies network theory to consider the effects of neighborhood council reform on city governance in Los Angeles. The authors argue that neighborhood councils have the potential to change elite-dominated governance through several network effects: development of bridging social capital—network relationships that cross-cut traditional community cleavages, broadening of horizontal networks that improve information required for collectiv…
The Democratic Prospects of Network Governance
This article considers the democratic implications of the shift toward policy making and implementation through networks, integrating articles presented at a 2003 conference on democratic network governance. The authors argue that the effect of increased cross-sectoral and civil society involvement in governing has been to stretch liberal democratic processes to comprise greater numbers of actors involved in lateral network relationships. Althoug…

Poverty concentration has a significant negative effect on the fiscal health of cities in that it increases spending on antipoverty programs and also raises the cost of providing more general public services such as police and fire protection. Spending patterns among Southern California cities over the last two decades show that poverty strongly influences local public expenditures after controlling for demographic, institutional, and fiscal char…
Federalism and Community in the Metropolis: Can Los Angeles Neighborhoods Help Govern Gargantua? 1
This paper considers the potential of a neighborhood council system to improve community governance in Los Angeles. A neighborhood counCil system arguably manifests a federal principle, in that it is an association of territorially individuated, but related, political communities. Thus neighborhood councils are an alternative to structural reform in the form of segmentation through community secession. In Los Angeles, the implementation of a coun…

The analysis is based on demographic and fiscal data from 454 California cities and two surveys of Web site adoption. The authors’ theoretical framework draws from the political economy and technolog…
