Funding community organising : diversifying sources, democratising civil society
Résumé
This book critically explores the funding arrangements governing contemporary community development and how they shape its theory and practice. The chapters consider the evolution of funding in community development, and how changes in policy and practice can be understood in relation to the politics of neoliberalism and contemporary efforts to build global democracy from the ‘bottom up’. Thematically, the book explores matters such as popular democracy, the shifting contours of the state–market relationship, prospects for democratising the state, the feasibility of community autonomy, the effects of managerialism, and hybrid modes of funding such as social finance. The book is positioned to stimulate critical debate on both policy and practice within the broad field of community development.
