Although communitarianism has a long history, it has only recently emerged to pose a major challenge to the traditional left-right divide in politics and the competing principles of individualism and collectivism. Communitarianism is the first comprehensive and accessible introduction to communitarianism's ideas and their implications for politics and citizenship. Drawing on a wide range of international examples and engaging with communitarianism's critics, Tam demonstrates clearly its relevance to the United States and the world.

Review
"With this important book, communitarianism finds a strong voice . . . A must for all who care not only about communitarianism, but about community and, indeed, a good society.."
-Amitai Etzioni,author of The New Golden RuleFrom the Publisher
Although communitarian ideas have had a long history, it is only recently that it has emerged to pose a major challenge to the traditional left-right divide and the competing principles of individualism and authoritarianism. Henry Tam's book brings different strands of communitarian thought together into a critical synthesis, at the center of which is the ideal of inclusive communities based on the three principles of co-operative enquiry, mutual responsibility, and citizen participation. The author shows how communitarian ideas can be applied practically in key areas of social, economic and political life, and concludes by assessing the prospects of communitarian reforms and the obstacles they need to overcome.
