Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communities have long been ahead of governments in responding to changes in the economy, forging ahead with innovative grassroots projects that now make up a substantial portion of economic development initiatives. Having made major gains in practice and having built local capacities through innovation, Community Economic Development now stands at a crossroads. In Building for Social Change, Eric Shragge, Michael Toye and colleagues from across the country offer a timely critical examination of CED practices and debates. This book is designed for CED practitioners, for others working in community-based organizations and those being trained. There are a growing number of post-secondary programs in English Canada that educate students in CED and related fields such as regional development, yet there are not many publications that provide analytical perspectives and debate. The goal of this book is to describe and analyze CED practice, primarily in Canada, through a wide range of subjects--the evolution of its definitions, economic dimensions and the key elements that form its context. Building for Social Change situates CED in wide political, economic and social contexts: rich examples of the scope and practices, and some of the limits--in Aboriginal communities, as a tool to support women, psychiatric survivor enterprises, housing and worker ownerships--are explored to help spur further critical discussion and debate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is the result of a recent survey of 340 community economic development (CED) organizations undertaken by the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet)...This profile reports on three principal themes: the nature, size and lessons learned of the sector. The nature of CED establishes a typology for CED organizations, their distribution and maturity, enumerates their activities and identifies proven practices and barriers to growth. The size of the sector is quantified in terms of employees and volunteers, as well as size of budget and revenue sources. Lessons learned about the sector are revealed through comments from CED organizations about proven practices and barriers hindering success of CED in their community."--p. 9
