Zusammenfassung:	Social development work takes place in the grey area between government and the voluntary/community sectors: in a society where social inequalities now seem entrenched, where communities are themselves often divided, and where government policy speaks about long-term development yet provides funds and evaluates the process on the basis of short-term principles. This book, written by three well-known UK educators and researchers in the social policy and development field, explores the ways in which front-line professionals, working with communities, identify and address the dilemmas inherent in the current UK policy context. The book reconnects to, and updates, an important tradition in social policy which explores the dilemmas of 'street-level' work. Combining theory and practice, it examines how 'community engagement' workers negotiate the ethical and emotional challenges they face
