Description
How cities can better address the concerns of their citizens through federations.
Reclaiming Cities is a global history of the city and the citizen that documents experiences with direct democratic governance and explores the theoretical groundwork that underpins such movements. The mutual interests of the state and multinational corporations routinely thwart any meaningful actions on a wide variety of issues of concern to citizens, such as climate change, labor policy, civil rights, and gun control—issues better addressed by citizens concerned for the well-being of their communities. Yavor Tarinski argues that instead of relying on bureaucratic summits and centralized solutions, cities ought to band together in federations, beyond national boundaries, uniting citizens in struggles against ecological catastrophe and other existential crises.
Yavor Tarinski is an independent researcher, author, and activist. He is the author of several books, including Concepts for a Democratic and Ecological Society, and the editor of Enlightenment and Ecology: The Legacy of Murray Bookchin in the 21st Century.
