"While Americans often believe that owning a home serves as a tool for building stronger communities and crafting better citizens, this book argues that these long-standing beliefs about the public benefits of homeownership are deeply mischaracterized. As owning a home has emerged as the most important way to build wealth in the United States, it has also reshaped the way citizens become involved in their communities. Rather than engaging as public-spirited stewards of civic life, the book argues that homeowners often engage in local politics as a way to protect their property values. This civic engagement, the book argues, contributes to the politics of exclusion. It keeps particular citizens from gaining access to high-opportunity neighborhoods and reinforces patterns of residential segregation. It often marginalizes renters from participation in public life, and it equates property values with the common good. Through an analysis of the politics of homeownership, this book asks readers to reconsider the power of homeownership to strengthen citizenship and build better communities."

Data analysis was carried out using descriptive methods to determine the relationship between variables and inferential methods to determine the influence of variables, both partially and globally. The results show that the level of political participation of the Kenduri Cinta congregation tends to be low. Based on the results of the global test, all independent variables together have an impact toward the level of political participation of the Kenduri Cinta congregation. Meanwhile, in the regression test results, Political Concern, Political Motivation, Political Education and Political Orientation have a positive effect on the level of political participation. However, the Political Motivation variable has a negative impact, so that the more political motivation increases, the lower the level of political participation. This research can be refined by using qualitative methods to obtain more detailed and in-depth information regarding the tendency for low levels of political participation among the Kenduri Cinta congregation."

"Few people today would challenge the legitimacy of democracy as the form of government most congenial to modern citizenship, as it requires members to treat each other as equals and to cooperate in the pursuit of conditions that may maximize both the promotion of individuals potential and the achievement of public welfare. Yet a number of facts challenge these ideals. Declining political participation, as well as skepticism and dissatisfaction with the functioning of democracy among citizens of established democracies, attests to a kind of paradox. Citizens increasing capacity to control their own circumstances within their private, social, and economic spheres is at odds with their decreasing capacity to exert control over their political representatives and over the domain of politics in general. The shift of opposing political coalitions toward more pragmatic and ideologically elusive platforms, aimed at attracting a larger sphere of the electorate, has greatly diluted the ideological identity of parties that have replaced traditional class movements. All politics has become more personalized as political preferences are increasingly dependent on the likes and dislikes of citizens, and ultimately on the personality characteristics of political candidates capable of attracting voters preferences. These pressures urge legislators to better appreciate the significant changes that have occurred in citizens political reasoning and action, as well as the diversities among citizens of different political contexts. Likewise, scientists are urged to disclose the psychological structures and mechanisms that set the conditions for individuals democratic participation."

"Sumber dari permasalahan sosial bangsa Indonesia adalah kemiskinan. Dengan keterbatasan yang dimiliki pemerintah saat ini maka diperlukan pelibatan berbagai pihak untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Salah satunya adalah dunia usaha ? dalam hal ini adalah PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Area Kamojang. Sebagai salah satu perusahaan BUMN, diwajibkan untuk menjalankan program PKBL sebagai wujud TSP - selain tugas utamanya mencari keuntungan bagi kelanjutan operasionalisasi perusahaan. Program Kemitraan (PK) merupakan bantuan philantropy bagi pengembangan usaha kecil melalui pemberdayaan agar dapat mandiri sehingga mampu memenuhi kebutuhan hidup diri dan keluarga - selain mampu menyerap tenaga kerja sehingga diharapkan dapat mengurangi masalah pengangguran dan mengentaskan kemiskinan. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan suatu program adalah pelaksanaan yang cenderung bersifat top down sehingga kurang melibatkan partisipasi masyarakat. Partisipasi di sini merupakan keterlibatan masyarakat dalam suatu program pengembangan masyarakat. Partisipasi ini penting mengingat partisipasi berhubungan dengan keberhasilan suatu program. Untuk itu, tujuan penelitian ini adalah melihat pelaksanaan Program Kemitraan, partisipasi mitra binaan perajin kulit dalam Program Kemitraan tersebut serta faktor-faktor pendorong dan penghambat dalam partisipasi tersebut. Penelitian ini dilakukan terhadap Program Kemitraan di PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Area Kamojang yang mempunyai komitmen untuk mengedepankan kebutuhan masyarakat. Pemilihan pada perajin kulit dan kelurahan Kota Wetan karena perkembangan industri kulit di daerah ini cukup potensial - baik dalam jumlah unit usaha, penyerapan tenaga kerja dan nilai investasinya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yang menghasilkan data deskriptif melalui rangkaian studi kepustakaan, wawancara mendalam (in dept interview) tidak terstruktur dengan para informan. Pemilihan informan dilakukan secara purposive sampling dan dipilih sebanyak 9 informan yang terdiri dari: Kepala PKBL/manajer Humas (1 orang), Petugas Program Kemitraan (1 orang), mitra binaan perajin kulit (4 orang), Lurah (1), Dinas Koperasi serta Dinas Industri dan Perdagangan (masing-masing 1 orang). Secara umum, PK telah dilakukan melalui tahapan pengembangan masyarakat yaitu dari tahap persiapan, assessment, perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan monitoring/evaluasi. Dalam pelaksanaan Program Kemitraan ini, partisipasi mitra binaan dilakukan pada tahap pelaksanan dan monitoring/evaluasi program.Dalam tahap tersebut mitra binaan melakukan assessment dan perencanaan usaha (melalui proposal pinjaman), menerima kegiatan pembinaan dan monitoring/evaluasi bersama petugas PK). Pembinaan belum menumbuhkan pemberdayaan mitra binaan dan monitoring/evaluasi belum menjadi bahan untuk feed back bagi perbaikan program. Dengan demikian, PK masih bersifat top-down. Faktor-faktor yang mendorong partisipasi adalah ada keinginan untuk mengembangkan usaha, persyaratan yang mudah dan adanya manfaat dari kegiatan pembinaan yang dilakukan. Selain itu, pendekatan/komunikasi yang baik dari petugas PK. Sedangkan faktor-faktor yang menghambat partisipasi adalah komunikasi yang kurang baik antara mitra binaan - petugas PK, mentalitas mitra binaan. Selain itu, kurangnya tenaga di PK, sifat sentralistis Program Kemitraan dan seringnya pergantian petugas di Program Kemitraan. Saran yang bisa diajukan di sini adalah perlu melakukan koordinasi dengan pemerintahan daerah setempat, mengaktifkan paguyuban sebagai sarana komunikasi, melakukan monitoring/evaluasi sebagaimana fungsinya, dan perlu adanya tenaga profesional yang kompeten di bidang pengembangan masyarakat.
