Innovation and Reform in Local Government

Submitted by Vern on 7 March 2013 - 10:29pm

Local government is sometimes referred to as the level of government closest to the people. But is it? Can local government be a tool for communities? Or are communities and citizens too disconnected from municipal structures to work in effective partnership? Is the disparity in power too great? Can new technology bridge the disconnect?

Beyond Corporatisation: Reinventing Community Organisations for a New Century - Voice, Belonging, Social Infrastructure, Governance

Submitted by Vern on 3 January 2013 - 9:31am

The corporatisation of community organisations and not-for-profits has been a strong trend in Australia since the 1980s. Many organisations with a history of more than four decades are now barely recognisable to their founders and early participants. Some have transformed their culture and identities to become large-scale service delivery contractors for governments. Some that began life as charities have made revolutionary changes to their understanding of philanthropy and charity, and now call their donors 'investors'.
