Community development and civil society
To what extent are the ideas and practice of community development across Europe similar? Community Development and Civil Society explores this question with special reference to the UK and Hungary and shows how community development connects powerfully with civil society, a concept that today has global significance. Paul Henderson and Ilona Vercseg argue that community development is both a profession and a social movement and is relevant to a wide range of issues.They interweave case studies with discussion of principles and theory.The book's critical and accessible approach will appeal especially to students and practitioners.

Including the Excluded
This book provides an in-depth study of how community development can contribute to tackling social exclusion. Drawing on the outcomes of a project funded by the Social Inclusion Programme of the European Union and managed by a European network of community development organisations - the Combined European Bureau for Social Development - Including the excluded analyses the experiences of local communities; identifies and explains the key principles that need to underpin programmes and projects that use a community-based approach to tackling social exclusion and provides a summary of key action points that need to be considered by organisations and agencies. Examples from policy and practice in the UK, Spain, Belgium, Sweden and Norway are discussed, with additional information from Denmark, Ireland and Hungary. The principles and methods discussed give a valuable insight into how the voices of local people and practitioners can be heard in policy and decision making forums.
Encyclopedia of Community

Community itself is a concept, an experience, and a central part of being human. This pioneering major reference work seeks to provide the necessary definitions of community far beyond the traditional views.
A civilek hatalma
„A modern politika egyre inkább parttalanná, »folyékonnyá« válik és kilép a hagyományos intézményi keretek közül. Napjainkban egyre többen érzik úgy, hogy a politika és a politikai elit elszakadt a választóktól, s a klasszikus intézmények immáron súlyos legitimációs problémákkal küszködnek. Szükség van tehát a politikai tér újraalkotására, amelynek két igen erős kísérlete született mindeddig a modern politikában: a populizmus és a civil/társadalmi mozgalmak. Jelen kötet a politikai tér újradefiniálásának utóbbi megoldását, vagyis a civilek hatalmát és a civil mozgalmaknak a politika visszaszerzésére vonatkozó erőfeszítéseit vizsgálja meg elsősorban a hazai keretek között.”
