Summary:
This collection of 17 articles by scholars and practitioners from Ireland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, documents interventions that address regional disparity by challenging established patterns and seeking to build community capacity. Participatory democracy, the values of localism, small group dynamics, co-operativism, grass-roots activism and decision-making that flows “bottom-up,” are slowly informing public policy initiatives on both sides of Atlantic.
