how did industrialism and nationalism drive the need for nation states to practice imperialism around the world

citizen participation in local governance means the ability of ordinary citizens to assess their needs, contribute to develop their local public projects, then watch their implementation, and watch the local public budget. This process of participation can be achieved by positive participation in the elections, attending hearing sessions, taking part in community task forces. I think participation in local governance is very important because it enables citizens to prioritize their needs and watch public allocations and resources to the public projects. This will lead to better management for public resources and less corrupt practices.
