摘要
"An inspiring study of the Sarvodaya movement in Sri Lanka, built on the successful integration of spiritual values, community organization and self-reliance…" Describes in concrete terms how a village movement in Sri Lanka draws on indigenous cultural and religious values to redefine the nature and purpose of development; mobilizes and motivates popular participation in development projects; and mounts distinctive organizing strategies. In so doing, it illustrates the relevance of religious traditions for any alternative development efforts in the developing and industrialized worlds. No comparable study exists.
