Addressing the pressing need for improved governance within the spatial, political and cultural realities in the rapidly transforming landscapes of Asia, the contributors to the book bring together interdisciplinary work that focuses on the ways in which civic engagement can link with social capital building efforts, particularly in terms of enhancing the interaction between state and community efforts, to create vibrant societies."--Publisher's description.
