Community development across borders: Avoiding dangerous practices in a globalizing world

Article Abstract:

Community development (CD) is used to mobilize people in small geographical areas and across borders to transfer lessons learnt in specific localities to others, but care should be taken to avoid dangerous practices in a globalizing world. Opportunities or opportunitism, egalitarian or exploitative relationships and partnership or paternalism are some of the issues that community workers should address while crossing borders under the CD.
