- Summary:
-
"Community is one of the most widely used yet also one of the most complex concepts in modern political thought. This book will provide an introduction to the concept, showing how philosophical ideas can be used in political practice." "While other books consider either the philosophical or the policy elements of community, this book is unique in drawing together these strands and demonstrating their links. As such it is an ideal textbook for undergraduate students, grounding abstract and quite difficult theory in contemporary situations."--BOOK JACKET.
