	The Theory & Practice of Community Politics
		Our goal transcends political theory: it is an idea of human independence in which each, individually precious, human being has the liberty and the opportunity to experiment, to experience, to learn and to influence his or her surroundings.
		Community politics poses a direct challenge to the social democratic ideology of centralised state welfare provision and its consequent undermining of the role of the community.
		Community politics recognises that society I is always changing and that the purpose of political and social organisation is to enable that change to be controlled deliberately and democratically.

	Community Politics
		Rejuvenation of state and local government, the role of those governments in state political economies, and the influence of political ideology and values in state and community politics are the unifying themes of this book.
		Political ideology is most relevant in the material for Chapters 12 through 17, which deal with the major policy areas confronting state and local governments (finance, crime, education, social welfare, infrastructure, environmental protection, and economic development).
		The theme of political economy is relevant in several chapters of the book but nowhere more directly than in Chapter 17, which discusses the role that state and local governments play in promoting economic development.

		There is the community of the nation and citizenship, as well as the division between nations and those with and without citizenship.
		A working class political party is a contradiction in terms—not because the membership of a particular party can’t be largely working class, but because the most it can do is give the working class a voice in politics.
		Community leaders, professional activists and unions want to place themselves between workers and bosses and be the mediators, the negotiators, the means of communication, the representatives, and ultimately the peacemakers.

	[EMLS 4.3 (January, 1999): 2.1-45] Shakespeare and the Politics of Community
		The political responsibility of the body of citizenry was essential for the good government of the political community, and so accordingly, the citizenry must be educated with regard to what is "conducive to common good" (The Education of a Christian Prince 37, 79-81).
		Not least disruptive, both politically and economically, was the potential for love to encourage disobedience of patriarchal authority with regard to marriage, an institution which remained firmly situated within the public sphere of civic association.
		The core unit of the public and political community remained the family, and the idea that the private passions of love should be subordinated to the public responsibilities of family stability, the sanctity of marriage and procreation, was well-accepted.

	Community Arts and Politics - Dwayne Campbell 1985
		Community arts, as I have been using the term, is not well understood by the fine art community nor society in general.
		A community artsworker placed in an organisation with little or no understanding of the potential political nature of art may feel the oppression of being relegated to the entertainment and recreation section of activities.
		It gives the community and us an acceptable way out, the fault was with her, not the community she lived in or the society she was part of.

	Community politics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Community politics is a movement in British politics to re-engage people with political action on a local level.
		A 'community politics' response would be for local councillors to lead a group of people to clear the rubbish themselves, then inform the local community through a newsletter.
		The result is a stronger local community who feel that their representatives are achieving something, and a better chance of even the most under-resourced local authority taking the time to stop the problem in future.

	Oxford Scholarship Online: The Problems of Communitarian Politics
		Traces elements of the idea of community in a number of social, philosophical, and political contexts over the last century, exploring how these have been and continue to be articulated in recent political and public policy debates.
		‘Community’ is invoked as a justification for reorganization of state institutions, as the source of care and support for individuals, and as an entity that is valuable in its own right and must therefore be sustained and defended.
		In community development, community action, community care and community politics, the tensions and contradictions within the concept are invariably felt.

	Communitarianism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		In Political Liberalism, (Rawls 1993) he argues in a communitarian vein that his conception of the person as impartial citizen provides the best account of liberal-democratic political culture and that his political aim is only to work out the rules for consensus in political communities where people are willing to try for consensus.
		In terms of political implications, it means that, for example, political authorities ought to consider the existent character of the local community when considering plans for development (Jane Jacobs famously documented the negative effects of razing, instead of renovating, run-down tenements that are replaced by functionally adequate but characterless low-income housing blocs (Jacobs 1965).
		Such communities, based on face-to-face interaction, are governed by sentiments of trust, cooperation, and altruism in the sense that constituent members have the good of the community in mind and act on behalf of the communitys interest.

	MyJewishLearning.com - History & Community: Israeli Politics
		The political spectrum (left versus right) in Israel is generally determined by a parties' polities vis-as-vis the Palestinians and any possible peace process.
		Thus, a party in favor of territorial concessions would be considered a "left wing" party, whereas a party that opposed such concessions would be considered a "right wing" party.
		Smaller parties (including religious parties) are also important in Israeli politics, as their support is necessary to form a coalition required to pass legislation.

	Anarchism and Community Politics - Ireland / Britain Community struggles - Anarkismo
		Politics become considered as parliamentary activities made for the population by their representatives, with the 'rank and file' left with no other role than that of passive support.
		This form of community activity can be called "community syndicalism." It means the building of community assemblies which can address the issues of their members and propose means of directly tackling them.
		They also, by taking part in self-managed community assemblies, develop their ability to participate and manage their own affairs, so showing that the state is unnecessary and harmful to their interests.

	Michael Hoover, "Zoned Out: The Politics of Community Exclusion"
		Meanwhile, civil rights campaigners, community activists, and affordable housing advocates were buoyed by a 1975 New Jersey Supreme Court judgment in Southern Burlington County NAACP v Township of Mount Laurel.
		In response, about 200 communities (half of which are in California) have enacted some type of "inclusionary zoning," including some of the more affluent areas in the country such as Montgomery County, Maryland.
		Because powerful private interests are usually the principal political forces, low-income and neighborhood constituencies and their representatives can find themselves outside looking in on a process that is never neutral.

	International community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1950s, political cartoons used a picture of a man, often wearing a hat, whose head was a globe.
		For example, the Kosovo War was described as an action of the international community even though it was undertaken by NATO, which represented under ten percent of the world's population during the Kosovo War, this including Italy and Greece who were in opposition to the involvements.
		Similarly, "international community" is being used by Western leaders when criticizing Iran for its nuclear ambitions by saying that Iran is defying the will of the international community by continuing uranium enrichment.

		She claims to be a part of my community, but I've got to wonder how any sane person would consider putting nuclear waste in a populated area with a high water table upstream from a major American city.
		I'm not sure what we can do about the problems in politics, but we can start doing a better job in our churches of allowing our pastors to fail in our community just as we ourselves are (or should be) allowed to.

		· Community development is not politically neutral and must be discussed within a broad political, economic, and even global context.

		The Politics of Community examines the impact of westward migration on political development and behaviour in Ohio, the most populous midwestern state during the nineteenth century.
		After 1815, the political participation of wave after wave of migrants posed continual challenges to the stability of the state's political system and especially to the conduct of politics within the communities.
		As a result, Ohio's politicians, jurists, and voters reassessed many of their basic political assumptions and altered their political institutions and rules to take account of the substantial number of transient voters.

		Eliminating widespread corruption and use those donations to help the poors to become self-sufficient will be a good start to prevent poor Khmer to sell off their children for a few dollars per person.
		The so-called international community and major donors fails to raise this issue with Cambodia and therefore give the Hun Sen's regime and the CPP the impression that it's OK to treat these criminals with impunity.
