The idea of community involvement and empowerment has become
central to politics in recent years. Governments, keen to reduce
public spending and increase civic involvement, believe active
communities are essential for tackling a range of social, economic
and political challenges, such as crime, sustainable development
and the provision of care. Public Policy in the Community examines
the way that community and the ideas associated with it - civil
society, social capital, mutuality, networks - have been understood
and applied from the 1960s to the present day. Marilyn Taylor
examines the issues involved in putting the community at the heart
of policy making, and considers the political and social
implications of such a practice. Drawing on a wide range of
relevant examples from around the world, the book considers the
success of existing approaches and the prospects for further
developments. Thoroughly updated to reflect advances in research
and practice, the new edition of this important text gives a
state-of-the-art assessment of the place of community in public
policy.
