About this title

Synopsis

This volume takes a broad view of community organisation, viewing it as a rich and diverse field of practice that includes policy analysis and development, program planning, administration and evaluation and resource development and allocation. This 6th Edition emphasises strategic and tactical considerations in community change. It treats social planning and policy initiatives, neighbourhood-based citizen and empowerment approaches and advocacy oriented social action. Following an introductory essay by Jack Rothman, the readings are organised around parametres of intervention, strategies for intervention, and administration and management. There are twelve new readings, replacing selections indicated as of lesser interest through a survey of faculty users. This renewal, based on the experience of classroom teachers, ensures a fresh and relevant volume.
