Synopsis

Community participation and sustainable development are regarded as essential elements of contemporary social thinking; vital for the future and closely intertwined. This study explores what participation means for democracy, citizenship and accountability; for individuals and national policies. The place of science and expert knowledge is argued to be in setting and achieving community goals and stimulating participatory initiatives.

Media Reviews
.. the book succeeds well in raising awkward questions, highlighting good practice and principles, challenging cosy stereotypes, and in provoking thought and action for a better tomorrow. This book does help enormously in explaining the fields of community participation and sustainable development, by discussing many different facets by means of thirteen essays'. Hopefully, it will not only make decision makers sit up and take notice, but inspire them to investigate the alternative and more productive methods of using the planet's resources. --Habitat Journal
