Community Activation for Integral Development

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Typically, development studies have evolved top-down, with theories born and bred in the 'west' affecting practices in the rest. This book looks at these developments by turning them on their head: instead starting bottom-up with an emphasis on what the author terms Community Activation. With a selection of case studies, this volume looks at where community activation can be found and explores how it could evolve and be of use in developing societies at large. In the process he addresses such topics as how to embed development in a particular society, how to generate social and economic solidarity, and how to generate wealth from pre-industrial and post-industrial networks.
