Advance Praise for Investing in Democracy
“A wonderful book that arrives at a critical time. Sirianni explains in lucid
language how government can create an environment and ethos in which citizens work together to solve the unprecedented challenges that Americans face.
Citizens and public leaders will learn much from Sirianni’s analysis and his thick
descriptions of youth, neighborhood, and environmental civic engagement.”

Archon Fung
Professor of public policy, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
“In this breakthrough book, Carmen Sirianni has given us a rich portrait of
the future of governance. It is a future in which government empowers individual
citizens and stakeholders to roll up their sleeves to do the work of policy and address our challenges together. . . . We are not consumers of government services.
We can be partners in governance, and this book shows us how to get there.”
Lisa Blomgren Bingham
Keller-Runden Professor of Public Service, Indiana University
“Sirianni has explored the frontiers of exemplary citizen-government engagement and has written this wonderfully useful and inspiring book for a
new era of creative collaboration.”
John McKnight
Codirector of the Asset-Based Community Development Institute, Northwestern University
“A pioneering work that breaks new ground in patterns of governance, civic
engagement, and the meaning of democracy for the twenty-first century. Future
generations of scholars will regard it as a landmark achievement.”
