Between Colliding Worlds

Více o knize

The book explores the complex dynamics between governments and social movements, focusing on special policy agencies that address aboriginal and women's issues in Australia and Canada. Jonathan Malloy highlights these agencies as crucial intermediaries that represent social movement interests while managing government relations. He argues that their inherent contradictions should be reframed as vital for facilitating dialogue between state politics and social activism. Through interviews with public servants and activists, Malloy demonstrates how these agencies significantly contribute to governance despite their ambiguous roles.
