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.
