Community Power Systems (SS) (3 credits)
Explores the issue of how
political and economic power is distributed and maintained at the local level.
It examines competing theories of power relationships, the way in which
grassroots communities might organize to change the status quo (in various
policy arenas), and the limits to grassroots collective action. These topics are
placed in the context of changes in local institutional arrangements, changes in
the world economy, and increased ethnic diversity. Prerequisite: Junior standing
and 9 units (crs.) in Social Science.
