CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY TOPICS

California Community Topics, an occasional publication series of the California Communities Program (CCP), provides useful information to citizens and local leaders about important issues of community governance, leadership, and economic development. The CCP is a statewide unit of the University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources, with applied research and outreach responsibilities. It is housed by the Department of Human and Community Development, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, at UC Davis.

We would like to inform you of new California Communities Program Topics as they become available. Please let us know if you would like to be added or deleted from the CCP electronic mailing list by sending a brief message to CCP Director David Campbell, dave.c.campbell@ucdavis.edu, or call him at (530) 754-4328.

WORKING PAPER SERIES

The California Communities Program (CCP) Working Papers Series features reports on research in progress by University of California faculty. The papers deal with the themes of community governance, citizenship capacity building and local economic development, and are specific to California concerns. The purpose of the series is to stimulate dialogue about new research ideas, especially among audiences that would be unlikely to access the information through traditional academic channels.

The series is not peer-reviewed and is intended to support subsequent publication in journals rather than precluding it. All views and ideas presented are the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the CCP or the UC Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources. If you are interested in obtaining the full text of any working paper or wish to submit a manuscript to the Working Papers series, please contact the CCP Director, Dave Campbell at dave.c.campbell@ucdavis.edu or call him at (530) 754-4328.
