Community Development Practice in New Zealand: Exploring Good Practice
Edited by Love M. Chile

Community Development Practice in New Zealand: Exploring Good Practice is an edited volume of case studies and projects that illustrate how community development practitioners in New Zealand from a wide range of areas have attempted to give voice to the less powerful whose voice is often ignored and excluded from governance policy and decision-making processes. The book also engages with the critical question of the nexus between theory-practice-research and knowledge generation in a discipline that seeks to achieve community well-being outcomes through participatory processes.

The book is intended for a wide readership, including community development professionals, policy makers, funding organisations, students and teachers, as well as those who may simply want to enjoy good stories of successful engagement of the community development approach to understanding society’s issues.
