Providing a clearly written, cross-disciplinary overview of changing understandings of regional development in Australia, this volume focuses particularly on how the concept of participation is playing an increasingly important role in all aspects of regional development theory, policy and practice. It explores current trends toward increased citizen participation in development decision making and the establishment of governance structures to facilitate participation. The book brings the Australian experience into the larger debate, while seating Australian regional development experiences within their broader international context.
