The essays draw inspiration from experience from the mid-1960s up to the present.This is one of the strengths of the ideas promoted in the essays.They are not presented as a 'new' invention but rather as a re-articulation and re-interpretation of citizen-led solutions to the challenges and complexities of current times.Thus, the temptation of promoting yet another fashion in development is curtailed to a great extent.This widens the potential usage of ideas on re-invigorating democracy and citizenship through civic agency by a wide spectrum of actors from aided-development and beyond
