Austin, PhD ABSTRACT. With the advent of welfare reform and managed care, the nature of managerial practice has increasingly shifted from a primary fo- cus on internal operations to a more external, community focus which in- volves actively monitoring and managing the boundary between the external environment and internal organizational arrangements. This ar- ticle explores the boundary spanning aspects of community practice, the related theories of inter-organizational relations, and the process of “managing out” by those in top management and middle management posi- tions in human service organizations.

  • Community Organizing: Practice, Research, and Policy Implications ∗ Brian D
    Social Issues and Policy Review, Vol. 9, No. 1, 2015, pp. 193--222 Community Organizing: Practice, Research, and Policy Implications ∗ Brian D. Christens University of Wisconsin–Madison Paul W. Speer Vanderbilt University Community organizing—a field of practice in which residents collaboratively in- vestigate and undertake sustained collective action regarding social issues of mutual concern—has often proven an effective method for achieving changes in policies and systems at local, regional, and even national scales. The field is dynamic. It has expanded and has undergone numerous changes over re- cent decades. Research from a variety of disciplines has documented, evalu- ated, and informed many of these changes. This article scrutinizes the evolv- ing field of community organizing, with a particular focus on the current state of social and psychological research on broad-based community orga- nizing processes and outcomes. These findings include not only the effects of community organizing efforts on policies and systems, but also the influences of community organizing on psychological changes among the people and groups who participate. These findings are incorporated into recommendations for poli- cies, practices, and future research. Introduction Community organizing is an umbrella term for a field of practice in which residents collaboratively investigate and take collective action regarding social issues of mutual concern. Most often, the intent of organizing is to change policies regarding local issues, which have included, for instance: improvements in public safety (Speer et al., 2003), housing (Speer & Christens, 2012), employment con- ditions (Osterman, 2006), transportation (Speer, Tesdahl, & Ayers, 2014), public ∗ Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Brian D.

SUBURBANOMICS: CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION AT THE EDGE Originally presented at the Future Development of Suburbs Lecture Series: International Approaches, Ideas and Experiences combined with National Knowledge, Helsinki, Finland December 2011 Abstract The basis of this paper is that we have prioritised the city centre and its planning sometimes to the impoverishment of the “suburbs” or outlying areas, despite the fact that most of us live there. Away from the headline projects at the city’s core with its appropriation of architecture to the experience economy and the interests of tourism and retail, there is evidence of creativity and innovation in outlying neighbourhoods, estates and suburbs. Using an expanded range of references from urbanism to service design, cultural studies and environmental writing, Glasgow is taken as a case in point because its large-scale post-industrial regeneration through the use of architecture to brand cultural festivals and centres, is perceived to have overshadowed interesting projects at the periphery.
