Language and Community Economic Development: Implications for Human Resource Development

Abstract

A “new” language for human resource development in Community Economic Development will require new methods of discourse, a set of shared assumptions, and a belief system rooted in both the universal and the particular conditions of community life. This new language, emerging in Canada and elsewhere, is directed at local participation, collective action, inclusivity, solidarity, empowerment and local control.
