The template for the basic "perspective" chapter follows this paragraph. The original template (possibly revised) is in Introduction_to_Section_II. (After the chapter is further along — and the template structure is more-or-less finalized, we can remove this extra verbiage.)

The basic Plan has four parts:

(1) A Introduction to the perspective

(2) One or more case studies that show different facets of this perspective. Our decision was, as much as it's possible, not to artificially separate thinking and doing. At the same time we do want to present a variety of approaches, some of which will be better suited for think-work and some will be better suited for action (that plays out in the "real" (or material?) world.


Measuring civic intelligence

Aspects of Civic Intelligence

Towards Comparing and Measuring

Variation

  How does it differ from place to place — and why?

Magnitude

  How widespread in terms of people and resource moblization?

Resistance

  What impediments to progress were encountered?

Organization

  Versus disconnected and dispirited individuals or organized groups

Sophistication

  We're (simply) against it versus we've developed this (possibly complicated) plan

Effectiveness

  But hard to show that a war (for example) was prevented...

Responsiveness

  How fast and how appropriate were their responses?

Relative role of civic intelligence in process

  In relation to other possible explanations

(3) Conclusions

(4) Finally, a section that includes text book like end-of-chapter exercises, questions for the student, suggested activities, etc.
