There is a lot of chatter in the media about whether the pride that Americans have felt towards their citizenship and the connection they've felt towards their democratic values, can ever be restored. This book brings together a set of stellar scholars and practitioners to discuss and advance the cross-cutting themes and methods of engagement in sections 1) citizens and democracy, 2) institutional design, 3) cross-sector collaboration, and 4) value creation. The book contains illustrative case studies spanning local to global, analytical to creatively synthesized, and broad based to specific.
