Community Empowerment: A Reader in Participation and Development (Experiences of Grassroots Development) - Softcover
Synopsis
This work reviews contemporary campaigns for community participation and empowerment throughout the world. It describes the context of globalization, international restructuring and increasing polarization between North and South and within individual states, and assesses the relevance to selp-help and community participation of developments within the "mixed economy of welfare". It critiques the concept of empowerment and demonstrates how communities are taking more control over key social and economic issues that confront them.

Review
'This is a ground-breaking, nuanced and comprehensive book that grapples with how developing countries in general and Ghana in particular have endured and responded to a decade of neo-liberal ascendancy. Based on astute research, experiences and analysis, the book offers penetrating commentaries on recent socio-economic and political developments in Ghana. A 'must-read' collection of excellent and stimulating ideas'. Mohamed Salih, Professor of Politics of Development, University of Leiden and the Institute of Social Studies, The Netherlands 'This, the first book-length assessment of the latest experiment in liberal democracy in Ghana, is a timely study. It shows in an admirable way both the progress and the still existing shortcomings in the institutionalization of liberal democracy and will undoubtedly attract a wide readership in academic and policy-making circles.' Piet Konings, African Studies Centre, Leiden
