Author Description

Industrial Democracy is one of the first attempts to explain a newly developed field: the theory and practice of countering industrial decline and subsequent deterioration of the quality of community life. The contributors give an overview of the problem of economic dislocation, and explore the social responsiblity of corporations towards surrounding communities. Models for coping with economic decay are surveyed, looking at communities in which they have been adopted. Finally, the book compares alternative strategies according to critical variables, assessing their impact, and offering an intriguing paradigm for future research and social change.
