This series examines the interrelations of politics and society,
bringing together articles from an international and
interdisciplinary community of scholars. This title examines global
perspectives on the political economy of race and ethnicity.
This volume represents an attempt to link the theories and research
of an interdisciplinary group of urbanists with the practical
applications that scholars can help institute in the community. The
articles in "Neighbourhood Politics", analyze political forces
within local communities and their intersection with policy
decisions about economic development. Those in "Community and
Identity" examine the ways in which individuals are shaped by and
respond to changing economic conditions in their communities. In
"Perspectives on Community Issues and Policies" the authors explore
the specific cases of child development, education reform and rent
control policies as outcomes of contested or problematic community
relations. The articles in "Information technology and Community
Development" discuss models of community development linked to
community networks. In "Institutional Support for Community
Building" the authors show how the institutions of religion and
higher education have the potential to strengthen local community
development. Several of these papers were presented in an earlier
form at meetings of the Urban Affairs Association in Toronto, USA
(1997) or Fort Worth, USA (1998).
