- W2952044785 abstract "Faced with the problem of growing economicinequality in America and the threat posed to democracy, a numberof planning scholars have put forth the idea of buildingprogressive civil society capacity in the economic sphere tobroaden stakeholder control and accountability of capitalistmarkets. Yet actual empirical accounts of community and civicorganizations spearheading the task of framing and carrying outprescriptive economic programs, complete with alternative modes ofproduction and exchange, have sparsely materialized. Moreover, thedominant planning perspective on the topic of building civilsociety to strengthen economic democracy views race as a secondaryissue that may have cultural and political significance but isessentially a divisive mechanism that stymies the more importanteconomic programs of class-based movements. In contrast, thetheoretical framework underlying this study incorporates W.E.B.DuBois' notion of double consciousness along with Mikhail Bakhtin'sformulations on dialogic exchange to explore how centralizing theperspectives and experiences of racial others might enhancecritical reflection and dialogic exchange in civil society- ledeconomic planning projects as to fortify progressive coalitions anddirect their policy visions towards the deepest problems hinderingdemocratic society. Focusing on the emerging energy efficiencysector and the green economy more generally within the context ofthe contemporary American city, I use two critical and emblematiccases-the Evergreen Cooperative Initiative in Cleveland and the LosAngeles Green Retrofit and Workforce Program- to build theory atthe intersection of race, place, and economic democracy. Each casestudy is grounded in historical analysis that explores to whatextent, in what ways, and how race played a role in managing thetensions and contradictions between capitalism and democracy at thelocal level. In turn, the case studies investigate the process bywhich progressive coalitions incorporated the experiences andperspectives of low-income inner city communities of color intotheir respective green economic and workforce development programs.At the substantive and normative level, my findings indicate thatcreating inclusive, transparent, but also flexible spaces forcritical reflection and dialogic exchange are essential to buildingstrong coalitions and forging policy visions that get at some ofthe core problems arising from privatistic urban policy and localeconomic development and form the stuff of economic democracy.Whether the initiation of such processes and ensuing economicprojects occurs in a manner that is top down or bottom up mightbe less important to their transformative potential than the depthof critical analysis, reflective thinking, and mutual engagement inpolicy design and planning discourse. Where economic democracy is aperpetual process of becoming, it entails actors balancing the useof external resources with principles of self-determination and theachievement of project deliverables…" @default.
