Recommended Reading: Community, Empowerment and Sustainable Development

"The first in The Converging World Series from the Schumacher Institute, this book explores a compelling range of community-based activities from different cultures and nations which help nurture intercultural understanding and practices of sustainable development. The specially commissioned chapters from practitioners and academics offer a set of interconnected case studies, personal stories, philosophical discussions and critical reflections on direct experiences, focussing on co-operative action, creative media innovation and community empowerment connecting individuals, groups, organisations from across our converging world. At the book's core is a central belief that ecological sustainability can only be attained through social learning, community empowerment, participation and a commitment to global justice. It is the first in a series of books addressing issues emerging from the Schumacher Institute's Converging World Initiative".
