Community Action And Voluntary Organization
Abstract
This paper considers whether community action different type of voluntary action from voluntary welfare and development.
Exploring the different characteristics of each by reference to two research studies undertaken at the New University of Ulster it is argued that these are best explained by reference to their respective locations and circumstances.
Assuming therefore that both types of organization are but different expressions of the one phenomenon 'community involvement'. The author goes on to indicate how a much more useful distinction can be made between, what are defined as, appealing and non-appealing organization.
Some implications of such a distinction are suggested including the implications for statutory policy.
