16. Eliasoph, Nina. "Top-down civic projects are not grassroots associations : how the differences matter in everyday life". Voluntas vol. 20 (September 2009) p. 291-308.
Abstract: This research paper examines the fundamental differences between informal civic associations in the vein of those described by Alexis de Tocqueville, and today's larger, formally funded voluntary programs. The author discusses the difficulty faced by today's newer programs in trying to nurture the same level of "civic" spirit exhibited by the older associations of the past, and notes that the top-down, formal projects face are impeded by their lack of a bottom-up, grassroots approach.
