Community change for diverse democracy

Barry Checkoway

Address for correspondence: email: barrych{at}mail.umich.edu

This paper presents ideas about community change for diverse democracy. It provides perspectives on change, identifies three types of practice, and examines some of its elements. It draws upon secondary literature and empirical studies of practice in various communities and concludes with observations about future work in the field, with the general conclusion that democratic societies, especially ones whose populations are becoming more diverse, will depend in part on their ability to both recognize differences and also build bridges across cultural boundaries. The paper is based on the belief that strengthening the study of these phenomena can contribute to their practice.
