Community Organizing

Community Organizing

Community Organizing (CO) developed as an approach to the democratic system in the USA in the 1930s and has also been established in Germany since the 1990s. Against the background of people’s serious disenchantment with politics these days and the tendencies towards division within society, it is worthwhile reacquainting ourselves with this democratic tradition and thinking about its current potential. To do this, the book brings together some basic texts, specialist articles and field reports on broad-based community organising and puts them in a modern overall context.
