The Basics: What's Essential about Theory for Community Development Practice?
Hustedde, Ronald J.; Ganowicz, Jacek
Journal of the Community Development Society, v33 n1 p1-19 2002
Relates three classical theories (structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism) to fundamental concerns of community development (structure, power, and shared meaning). Links these theories to Giddens' structuration theory, which connects macro and micro structures and community influence on change through cultural norms. (Contains 38 references.) (SK)
