AUT releases voluntary sector study working papers and community development book

Auckland University of Technology,

The working paper series endeavours to make publicly available information from several series of studies, particularly research into community organisations and the social services they provide within the Waitakere region. To access the papers, visit www.aut.ac.nz/schools/social_sciences/research/auckland_studies.htm

Auckland University of Technology's Institute of Public Policy (IPP) has recently produced a new book entitled Community Development Practice in New Zealand: Exploring Good Practice.

The case studies and projects contained in the book illustrate how community development practitioners in NZ have attempted to give voice to the less powerful whose voice is often ignored and excluded from governance policy and decision-making processes.

The book was edited by Dr Love Chile, Research & Development Programme Leader in Community Development at the IPP at AUT.
