Understanding Community : Politics, Policy and Practice PDF
by Peter Somerville
Part of the Understanding Welfare: Social Issues, Policy and Practice series
Description
Understanding community is a highly topical text offering a clear understanding of policy and theory in relation to community.
By examining areas of government policy, such as economic development, education, health, housing, and community safety, this book explores the difficulties that communities face and discusses new concepts such as community cohesion, social capital and community capacity building.
Somerville challenges our understanding of community, both social and conceptual, and assesses the strengths and limitations of this understanding. This book is essential for students studying social policy, social work and sociology, and an invaluable resource for policymakers in community development, urban regeneration and allied fields.
