An Analytical Framework for Extension Community Development Programming in Local Government

Author

  • George R. McDowell

Abstract

Current Extension programming in community development, much of it directed at local government problems, appears a potpourri of stylistic approaches. The public choice paradigm explicitly establishes a theoretical basis for the view that government's primary role is providing for resolution of the constant and inevitable conflicts between the values of citizens. It views the level and mix of services provided by government as a reflection of that political process rather than a scientifically determinable optimum. These arguments clarify differences between "process" and "substantive" approaches to Community Resource Development programming and suggest a framework for Extension strategies for improving local government.
