Can people use new participatory spaces to reclaim their rights as citizens and challenge structures of political power? This book carefully examines the constraints and possibilities for participatory governance under capitalism.To understand what is at stake in the politics of participation, we need to look beyond the values commonly associated with it. Citizens face a dilemma: should they participate, even if this helps to sustain an unjust system, or not participate, thereby turning down rare opportunities to make a difference? By examining the rationale behind democratic innovation and the reasons people have for getting involved, this book provides a theory of how citizens can use new democratic spaces to challenge political boundaries. Connecting numerous international case studies and presenting original research from Rosario, Argentina, this book offers a crucial corrective to previous research. What matters most is not the design of new models of participation nor is it the supposed radical imagination of political leaders. It is whether people use new spaces for participation to renegotiate what democracy means in practice.Bridging critical urban studies and democratic theory, this book will be of interest to researchers and students in the fields of democratic innovations, political economy and urban planning. It will also provide activists and practitioners of participatory democracy with important tools to expand spaces of grassroots democracy.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a CC BY Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) 4.0 International license.

Climate activists are jailed for blocking roads. Students are suspended for encampments. Antiracist demonstrators are publicly condemned as extremists. At a time marked by climate collapse, genocidal wars and widening inequality, those who interrupt business as usual are increasingly criminalized.The Responsibility to Disrupt examines controversies surrounding political protest and considers what the backlash against disruption reveals about contemporary democracy. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s reflections on political questioning, this book engages classic defenders of order such as Machiavelli and Hobbes alongside contemporary thinkers including Angela Davis, Howard Zinn and Jacques Rancière. Through political theory and real-world cases, the book explores nonviolent disruption as a shared democratic practice and invites readers to reflect on what a genuinely democratic response to protest might entail.

Alla behöver någonstans att bo. Bostaden är så central för vår välfärd att vi ser den som en mänsklig rättighet. Bostadsfrågan skär in i flera olika politikområden och kan diskuteras från vitt skilda utgångspunkter. Var – och hur – vi bor påverkar i hög grad vårt handlingsutrymme och våra framtidsutsikter. De ojämlika förutsättningarna på bostadsmarknaden är en av de tydligaste klassmarkörerna i dagens Sverige. I antologin "Allas rätt till bostad" analyserar 28 bostads- och urbanforskare från olika akademiska discipliner svensk bostadspolitik, dess förutsättningar, historiska utveckling och konkreta resultat. En socialt medveten bostadspolitik behöver inte minst förhålla sig till den växande ojämlikheten i det svenska samhället. Men den bostadspolitik som har förts, med privatiseringar och vinstkrav även på offentligt ägda bolag, har tvärtom fått klyftorna att växa. Hyresrätten är till exempel idag klart missgynnad jämfört med bostadsägandet. Antologins texter diskuterar också – bland mycket annat – den betydelse bostadsbidraget, besittningsskyddet, byggindustrin och barnkonventionen kan ha i ett vidare bostadspolitiskt perspektiv. Bostadspolitiken är en ödesfråga för många människor och för ett demokratiskt samhälle. Antologin visar att det krävs mer debatt och politisk fantasi och större rättvisa i bostadsfrågan än vi ser i dag. I antologin medverkar Karin Backvall, Bo Bengtsson, Peter Englund, Stina Fernqvist, Marie Flinkfeldt, Martin Grander, Kristina Grange, Jennie Gustafsson, Alexander Hellquist, Nils Hertting, Tim Holappa, Markus Holdo, Ståle Holgersen, Emma Holmqvist, Defne Kadıoğlu, Ilhan Kellecioglu, Ann Legeby, Anna-Sara Lind, Hans Lind, Carina Listerborn, Elisabet Näsman, Dominika V. Polanska, Emil Pull, Hannes Rolf, Tove Samzelius, Matilda Sandberg, Maria Wallstam och Stig Westerdahl. Samtliga är verksamma vid svenska lärosäten.
