Rejuvenating
Citizenship: A Role for Local Government (2000), David Williamson
Neo-liberal
economic reforms at the state government level can severely inhibit
the capacity of local
governments to develop strategies and programs
for active citizenship. This paper examines local
government in Victoria in 1993–2000. In this period,
the economic and local government reforms undertaken
by the Kennett government caused lasting damage
to
citizenship and its associated political rights
and duties. Even so, some local governments were
able
to maintain a commitment to active citizenship
and good governance, by building these goals more
strongly
into their corporate planning processes. The author
examines three such local governments, and concludes
that despite the obstacles of a hostile state government
policy, local governments can still play a key
role in developing strategies for citizenship at
the local
level. He canvasses a number of practical activities
for local governments to promote and encourage
active citizenship.
Careful with
that Democracy, It's Fragile (2001), David Hayward
Australian democracy
is declining on most of the indicators, but politicians and the media
encourage
us to be complacent. What we need is a Swedish-style
national strategy for democratic health. This article
was first published in the Melbourne Age newspaper
on 6 June 2001
