********************
'DIY Community Action', by Liz Richardson, presents a lively challenge to
the existing thinking on community development, and proposes ways forward
for community building. It offers thought-provoking answers to these
questions, based on detailed real-life evidence from over 100 community
groups, each trying to combat neighbourhood problems. For more information

'Gender equality and welfare politics in Scandinavia', edited by Kari
Melby, Anna-Birte Ravn and Christina Carlsson Wetterberg, examines the
meanings of gender that underpin policies in the Scandinavian welfare
states, historically and today, and raises the question whether the
hallmark of the Scandinavian welfare model is a special combination of
gender equality and gender differentiation. For more information please go
