Community Development: Community-Based Alternatives in an Age of Globalisation

Community Development: Community-based alternatives in an age of globalisation, 3rd edition, presents important principles of community development and empowers students to understand the ways in which community development practitioners can work in different contexts. With case studies and in-depth discussion questions, this text provides opportunities to relate the discussions in chapters to real life situations, and uses the content to build skills in reflective practice. The applied nature of the book ensures the relevance of concepts and ideas to the activities of communities and community development.
