Böcker av Brian Pratt

Civil Society in Action uses case studies from around the world which show a clear framework for understanding the nature and role of civil society and makes recommendations for more effective civil society strengthening. Examples of action by indigenous groups, advocacy journalism and transnational southern campaigning alliances are all explored.

The book is an attempt to demystify research and to explain how it can be effectively incorporated into the development project cycle, even in small-scale, low-cost development programmes. It considers the broader theoretical issues behind social research and explains and evaluates the different methods of collection in use.
