Facing fundamental changes to the climate, the environment and the nature of work will require cooperative action for an effective response. This presents a crisis of recognition, of different communities needing to learn how to value the practices of collaboration for a common purpose. The central argument of this book is that the key to motivating such change now lies in a radical re-imagining of our democratic citizenship, empowering citizens to participate in and take responsibility for remaking the communities in which they live and work. We need to reconfigure ourselves from being clients, dependent on professional knowledge, or consumers competing in a market place, to becoming active citizens, makers of our worlds. Only a transformation of democracy can enable public participation in this way, and through practice in deliberating common goods, achieve mutual recognition of cultural differences and social cohesion.

Stewart Ranson has made understanding change in public governance the focus of his research: in the 1970s the reorganisation of local authorities from differentiated professional organisation to corporate management; in the 1980s implementing local management enabling schools to respond to public choice; in the 1990s studies of parent participation in school forums and governing bodies forging partnership in place of detachment; beyond 2000, research into new patterns of community governance with schools, colleges and community centres working together to meet local needs. He was Professor of Education at Warwick University (2005-9), the UK, and an Associate Fellow of the Institute of Governance and Public Management in the Business School (2009-2012), the UK. Previously at the University of Birmingham, the UK, he was a researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Local Government Studies for fifteen years before being appointed as Professor of Education in the School of Education (1989-2004). He is now Professor Emeritus at the University of Warwick (2009-).
