Community practice is the name for that growing part of the relationship by which service providers and local residents collaborate flexibly and economically to meet needs, boost community strengths and service effectiveness, and link participative and representative democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Combining re-examination of theory with practical tools and approaches, Chanan and Miller provide a new framework for local involvement strategy, for policy-makers and practitioners alike. They show how this innovative but still amorphous movement can become more coherent, both on the ground and in public policy: reforming community development, building new kinds of neighbourhood partnership, measuring outcomes objectively, and combining the best innovations of the past three decades into a new synthesis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is an important new perspective for all local public service agencies, all practitioners working in communities, and academics and students concerned with these fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriel Chanan,Colin Miller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447300092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447300090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Gabriel Chanan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444907225343,"sku":"9781447300090","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bfc9f81-5e40-4fe9-8e7b-64eb1a5fd0e5.jpg?v=1777215353","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-community-practice-gabriel-chanan-9781447300090","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
