Communities in Control: Real Power, Real People
The Communities in Control: real people, real power, is a white paper that talks about power and shifting that power into the hands of communities and consequently, into the hands of the people. Its key themes are power, influence and control: who has power, on whose behalf is it exercised, how is it held to account, how it can be diffused throughout the communities we live in and how people can use existing and new tools to access it. It is about democracy, and how democratic practices and ideals can be applied to our society today.
