LOCAL GLOBAL JOURNAL
Local Global Journal: Special Edition: 'Arts, Community and Governance'
CDN and RMIT's Globalism Research Centre are pleased to announce the
publication of a new edition of the Local Global Journal. This journal
features keynote presentations, peer-reviewed and practitioner articles
based on presentations made at the ReGenerating Community: Arts, Community
and Governance National Conference held in Melbourne in
September 2009. The journal provides a great range of articles addressing
the major issues of the conference: how can community relationships be
built across the divide of those who govern and those who are governed? how
can the arts address issues of relevance for communities across Australia
and the world?
