Opis

The book examines the development of the idea of community in western liberal democracy and the way in which it inspires participants in "community development," and "community politics." Controversially, the book argues that community is a contradictory idea, which ultimately frustrates participants in democratic politics.

Recenzje

Not only has Frazer made an important contribution to communitarian theory...but she has contributed to all those other bodies of literature that have, hitherto, used an under theorized notion of community. The analysis is rigorous and methodical, the organization clear, and the writing lucid. This book would be a useful contribution for anyone interested in liberalism or communitarianism, in both theory and practice
