Empowering Communities--Beyond Fashionable Rhetoric? Some Reflections on Scottish Experience.
Barr, Alan
Community Development Journal, v30 n2 p121-32 Apr 1995
Empowerment for disadvantaged communities is complex; issues involved are defining community, conflicts of interest, equating populism with empowerment, and viewing it as zero-sum. Given these impediments and the nature of disadvantage, community development should conduct rational analyses of need, continue dialog with community interests, and regard high-quality responsive services as a right.
