The renewal of rural communities is happening all around us today as organized creative leaders are building economic models that can rebuild our gathering places, re-energize the local foods marketplace, and bring the community together as participants in new forms of community enterprise. This important study by Norman Walzer and colleagues around the world is a great starting point in evaluating the importance of Community Supported Enterprises, and it can help leaders across the nation learn from successful projects and advance dynamic new enterprises for their communities.

Paul Costello, Executive Director, Vermont Council on
Rural Development, USA

As smaller more rural communities struggle to maintain a vibrant local economy, many are seeking new and innovative ways to support local businesses. The strategic approaches detailed by Walzer and his colleagues in this volume reflect that spirit of innovative thinking. Both scholars and practitioners of community economic development should seriously consider the ideas developed in this volume.

Steven C. Deller, Professor and Community
Development Specialist, University of Wisconsin, USA

COMMUNITY OWNED BUSINESSES

This book analyses community-owned businesses in countries around the world to show successful approaches and important strategies to improve access to essential services in vastly different economic contexts.

Through eleven chapters, authors from various countries use case studies and analyse findings in ways which can be applied to new development initiatives, including rural grocery store retention in Kansas, socially responsible community cooperatives in Italy, preserving pubs and shops in England and Wales, serving residents with special needs in Canada, and financing basic goods and services for aging populations in Taiwan, plus other examples. The chapters explore practices and approaches used in various locations to address concerns about loss of access to essential services, making clear that this approach to financing is useful in different scenarios.

The chapters provide key insights suggesting that these approaches will be even more prevalent in the future and will be of interest to students, scholars, and community-development practitioners around the world.

Norman Walzer, Ph.D., is a Professor Emeritus in the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs located at Western Illinois University, USA. He was a Senior Research Scholar in the Center for Governmental Affairs at Northern Illinois University when the materials for this book were compiled. He has written extensively on local public finance and development issues with more than 25 books plus numerous scholarly and professional articles.

As the series continues to grow, it is our intent to continue to serve scholars, community developers, planners, public administrators, and others involved in research, practice, and policymaking in the realm of community development. The series strives to provide both timely and applied information for researchers, students, and practitioners. Building on a long history since 1970 of publishing the Community Development Societys journal, Community Development (www.comm-dev.org), the book series contributes to a growing and rapidly changing knowledge base as a resource for practitioners and researchers alike. For additional information, please see the series page at http://www.routledge.com/books/series/CDRP/.

The evolution of the field of community development continues. As reflected in both theory and practice, community development is at the forefront of change, which comes as no surprise to our communities and regions that constantly face challenges and opportunities. As a practice-focused discipline, change often seems to be the only constant in the community-development realm. The need to integrate theory, practice, research, teaching, and training is even more pressing now than ever, given rapidly transforming economic, social, environmental, political, and cultural climates locally and globally. Current and applicable information and insights about effective research and practice are needed.

The Community Development Society, a nonprofit association of those interested in pushing the discipline forward, is delighted to offer this book series in partnership with Routledge. The series is designed to integrate innovative thinking on tools, strategies, and experiences as a resource especially well-suited for bridging the gaps between theory, research, and practice. The Community Development Society actively promotes continued advancement of the discipline and practice. Fundamental to this mission is adherence to the following core Principles of Good Practice. This book series is a reflection of many of these principles:

Promote active and representative participation towards enabling all community members to meaningfully influence the decisions that affect their lives.

Engage community members in learning about and understanding community issues, and the economic, social, environmental, political, psychological, and other impacts associated with alternative courses of action.

Incorporate the diverse interest and cultures of the community in the community development process; and disengage from support of any effort that is likely to adversely affect the disadvantaged members of a community.

Work actively to enhance the leadership capacity of community members, leaders, and groups within the community.

Be open to using the full range of action strategies to work towards the long-term sustainability and well-being of the community.

We invite you to explore the series and continue to do so as new volumes are added. We hope you will find it a valuable resource for supporting community development research and practice.
