Paul Henderson & Ilona Vercseg 
Community development and civil society 
Making connections in the European context

To what extent are the ideas and practice of community development across Europe similar? Community Development and Civil Society explores this question with special reference to the UK and Hungary and shows how community development connects powerfully with civil society, a concept that today has global significance. Paul Henderson and Ilona Vercseg argue that community development is both a profession and a social movement and is relevant to a wide range of issues.They interweave case studies with discussion of principles and theory.The book’s critical and accessible approach will appeal especially to students and practitioners.
