More recently it has been used extensively by citizens in the Ukraine. Over the years the focus of the Handbook has changed. It still emphasizes working cooperatively with government, because democratic government remains the best ally of citizens. But confrontational tactics have been added because governments are often slow to respond or, obsessed with control, refuse to respond.
We continue to recommend cooperation before confrontation. And we always recommend a genuine attempt to see an issue from the point of view of those whose difficult job is to address public interest issues. If you have suggestions or additions that would improve the Handbook please send them to cdobson at telus. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.
