Abstract

We live in an era dominated by far-reaching migrations of people and capital, unprecedented urbanization, and technological and ecological transformations (Massey et al., 1994). These trends are accompanied by increasing economic disparity, social disenfranchisement, and disruption of social and political systems at local and national levels (Haddow, 2002). In the United States, conventional approaches to governance often prove ineffective in providing for health, welfare, and safety of citizens (Thompson, 2000; Wilson, 1996). And so, public confidence in government falters (Madanipour et al., 2001 ).
