Description

A Dynamic Balance illuminates the importance of understandingthe social dimension of sustainability as it examines the linksbetween social capital and sustainable development within the overallcontext of local community development. Looking at case studies in bothAustralia and Canada, it draws upon lessons that can be learned toreconnect large urban centres and smaller communities. Given the numberof small communities in both countries struggling to diversify fromsingle-resource economies in a context of increasing globalization, theanalysis touches on several critical public policy issues. This is atimely and provocative call for reconciliation and reconnection withinand between communities.
