Description This article explores the roles of decentralization and local democracy as avenues for community participation. It considers their place in the broad structures of governance (i.e., government, market, civil society) and in the reform agendas of the recent period (with some attention to functional as well as territorial forms of decentralization), looks at some existing efforts to strengthen civic engagement, and speculates more generally about prospects for advancing towards a system that does effectively promote such engagement in governing. The significance of rising interest in the notion of governance, which is broader than just government, is an underlying theme.
