Participatiesamenleving is een illusie

Abstract

With the question “How is the policy Samenleving Voorop changing the participation of citizens in Leusden society?” the paper discusses within the concept of citizenship how the relationship between civil servants and citizens is shifting. Citizenship is about contributing to society. Citizens create network communities. These network communities play a role in achieving new goals when the government is retreating and giving more space to citizens to set up initiatives and take up a greater role in society
