an analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on community life and well-being, along with the implications for longer-term community support;



additional brand new content on the pressing issues ofdemocratic decline, social fragmentation and isolation, social care pressures, technological developments and climate change.

Recenzijos

"It's an extremely useful publication, which presents some refreshingly straightforward observations, whilst acknowledging the complexity of the politics and the practice. I will recommend it to students". Mae Shaw, Institute of Education, University of Edinburgh









"Great book. I really relied on it in class as language was accessible and practical examples connected with the students." Sharon Mallon, Staffordshire University "A great resource so well written and informative." Sarah Banks, Professor of Community and Youth Work at Durham University "The history of UK community development is littered with the state's attempts to co-opt it to promote its own interests, however unfair and divisive. This excellent, elegant and easily digestible guide, written by two leading experts, cuts through the mystique to show precisely what community development should and should not be about." Gary Craig, Professor of Community Development and Social Justice at Durham University
