Communities and People Empowerment. Political culture and communities’ resilience against internal cleavages and conflicts

Abstract

In multi-ethnic societies and polities, political culture could play an essential role in re-defining communities within multicultural societies. Communities and their political culture could thus enhance the quality of their governance, their capacities of management of common resources, their security strategies and their resilience against threats. Communities’ resilience against internal cleavages and open conflicts seems to be based on the properties of political entities as they employ the attributes of political cultures in order to identify frameworks of social and political participation of their members, to examine potential tendencies and political scenarios of political preferences and ways to involve the individual and institutional agents in the public deliberation and policy making processes.
