Recenzii

“Community development has undergone substantial changes in the past five years. This extensively revised edition of the Short Guide captures those changes succinctly and accessibly. Crucially, it poses a number of important challenges for the future of community development values, theory, and practice. Essential reading.”

“Accessible and clear, whilst avoiding oversimplification, The Short Guide to Community Development provides an excellent basis for understanding both the appeal and the difficulty of contemporary community development.”
