[Publisher's Introduction] "Becoming a stakeholder" is inseparable from the act of claiming, where one becomes the subject of their own needs and demands that society fulfill them. The process of generating and making visible needs that do not yet exist is a creative process that involves envisioning what kind of society is desirable. This involves normative and political choices. The stance of this book, "needs-centered," aims to provide the theoretical foundation for this.
