Advocacy for Social Change
This book portrays how small, geographically dispersed, and progressive social change and social service organizations working within a coalition can influence national-level social policies. Based on extensive empirical research on two national organizations and their local affiliates, one focusing on affordable housing and the other working to protect lower-income communities, this book shows the ways in which professionally staffed organizatio…

Renewing Hope within Neighborhoods of Despair
Renewing Hope within Neighborhoods of Despair
Builds upon the narratives of community development activists to describe how they bring about affordable, quality housing, commercial opportunities and empowerment within poor areas. Honorable Mention, 2003 Paul Davidoff Award presented by the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning Renewing Hope within Neighborhoods of Despair builds upon narratives provided by leaders of community-based development organizations (CBDOs) to describe how t…
What Conferences Accomplish for Social Change Organizations
Conferences allow activists and their supporters to share information, seek out technical help and create supportive networks. At conferences, participants discuss the values that guide their work and by doing so agree on a shared meaning of their social change organizations. Conferences are focusing events that help create a social movement
Being a Conscience and a Carpenter
Though successful in providing affordable housing and employment opportunities within communities of deprivation, community-based development organizations-CBDOs-are criticized by both the activist left and social service scholars. The former claim that CBDOs ignore advocacy work; the latter, that CBDOs minimize social service efforts. Using case study material, this article argues the opposite: community-based development organizations succeed b…

Renewing Hope in the Inner City
A recent literature documents the successes of community-based development organizations (CBDOs) in providing housing and employment in impoverished communities. Such successes provide hope that it is possible to reverse urban decline. Whether, at the same time, it is possible to create jobs and housing in ways that empower the people within poor communities and increase community capacity for self-directed growth is less certain, as funders emph…

There Aren't Going to Be Any Bakeries Here If There Is No Money to Afford Jellyrolls
Community based development organizations — CBDOs — are nonprofit developers whose mandate is to revitalize communities devastated by broader transformations in the economy. While best known for their work in building homes and commercial properties in poor communities, CBDOs accomplish more. This article presents theories put forth by community activists of what community development is about beyond doing bricks and mortar projects. While guidin…

Attitudinal Effects of Public-private Cooperation in Economic Development
Using data from a national mail survey, opinions on the local economic development process held by economic development practitioners working for a city, chamber of commerce and public-private agencies are compared. The data show that public-private agency officials bridge the gap between the perspectives held by chamber government officials. Economic develop- ment practitioners working for public-private agencies have more respect for both gover…
Symbolism and Economic Development Work
To elaborate themes suggested by Edelman's model of symbolic politics, data from a national survey of economic development practitioners are examined. In response to the uncertainty of municipal economic development efforts, economic development practitioners claim they undertake formalistic activities and indicate that city leaders encourage symbolic economic development projects. Concerns with formalism and symbolism are most prevalent among th…
Measures of Work Satisfaction among Economic Development Practitioners
From data collected in a mail survey of 327 urban based economic development practitioners, four dimensions of work satisfaction are proposed. Predictive correlates of these four dimensions-the expectation that practitioners create economic miracles, the rejection of formalistic activity, the sense that practitioners can be effective, and the belief that their bosses are helpful-are introduced. Overall satisfaction is highest in communities in wh…
Shoot Anything that Flies; Claim Anything that Falls
Economic development practitioners face an uncertain environment in which their ability to bring about economic development is dependent upon factors over which they have little, if any, control. Using extended excerpts from open-ended interviews, the author explores how the economic development practitioners attempt to cope with uncertainty. The interviews illustrate both the frustrations practitioners feel about their work and the accommodation…
Economic Development Incentives
After establishing a way of classifying economic development incentives, this article examines four different explanations of why cities differ in their willingness to provide such incentives to encourage business growth. In order of explanatory power the explanations are citizen need, administrative capacity, fiscal stress, and the process of growth. Specific types of cities are more willing to use some incentives than others. Some underlying ru…

The Meshing Organization as a Catalyst for Municipal Coordination
The concept of a meshing organization is defined. A meshing organization brings about coordination between political and bureaucratic entities without threatening their autonomy. Differences between meshing organizations and other coordinative structures are explored. The strategies are interpreted in terms of the resource-dependence model of interorganizational relations. Nine strategies through which the meshing organization can strengthen itse…
Evaluation for Cutback Management in Small Cities
Problems of undertaking applied research in small cities planning economic cutbacks are explored. Researchers face problems in balancing administrative and political pressures. Predetermined ideas held by members of the city council on how the city should cut back services might cause politicians to ignore the findings of the study. While the belief of department heads that the study was simply going to excuse cutbacks could cause difficulty in d…
Rules, Regulations, and the Rural Thai Bureaucracy
An important problem in comparing bureaucratic organizations in different societies involves separating “cultural” from “structural” explanations of behaviour. Theories involvingstructural characteristics such as size and span of control permit uniform, parsimonious statements to be made. Yet such explanations fail to account for observed differences in output, goal choice, adjustment, etc., between structurally similar organizations in different…

The Function of Liminal Events in the Succession to a Position of Power
One implication of the linkage of religious merit to power in Thailand is that changes in leadership require complete restructuring of hierarchical relationships. Assuming that descriptions of the merit and power linkage are correct, how can a society with such beliefs handle routine transfers of power that do not allow for much restructuring of subordinate ties? To answer this question, we shall examine the events in a routine administrative suc…
Modes of Bureaucratic Communications
Expanding upon ‘formal-informal’ distinctions, four modes of bureaucratic communications are defined. Communications within differing bureaucracies are compared using the four modes. The setting associated with each mode and its effectiveness in accomplishing various tasks are explored. Illustrations and descriptions of the four modes are given from cases of Thai local administrative behavior. A cultural explanation is sought for the choice of ea…

Will and Awe
THE superior in Thailand has been described as unquestioned and domineering. Inferiors stand in awe of (fy-eng) the superior. Yet, the superior is expected to act to his inferiors in a concerned and benevolent fashion. He should aid his inferiors yet not dominate them to such an extent as to destroy their sense of autonomy. In this paper I shall extend previous discussions of Thai superior-inferior behavior by showing the compatibility of the Tha…
