As modern societies become increasingly individualistic, this
fascinating book examines how we can maintain and revive local
communities and community life. It demonstrates how the major
developments and processes of our time, notably globalization,
post-industrialism and de-traditionalization, contribute to this
individualism to the detriment of community life. The author
examines how community is a necessary and important component of
human life and discusses possible ways in which to arrest its
decline. In this regard, strategies geared to fostering trust and
social capital are outlined as the basis for reinvigorating
community life. The volume provides a coherent and distinct
analysis of community as well as offering concrete policy
prescriptions to counter the excessive individualism of our times.
In both the nature and scope of its analysis, it offers a unique
contribution to an extremely important issue in the contemporary
period, one that increasingly preoccupies politicians, academics
and ordinary citizens.
