520 _aThis book is intended for both students and practitioners of development. Its central theme is that privatisation is not the only answer to the ineffectiveness of 'big government' - people do organise themselves. How do people organise for their common benefit? The extensive case material presented here shows that a variety of successful arrangements have been worked out. Where people co-operate to obtain a common good, sharing solutions have to be found. This applies, for example, to the management of complex irrigation systems, to the financing of community schools and clinics as well as to the modern industrial firm.
