[2005] This book is about exploring both the potential and the limits of communication, of using communication both as a tool and as a way of articulating processes of development and social change, improving everyday lives, and empowering people to influence their own lives and those of their fellow community members.

According to the editors of this book, the discipline of communication for development is currently at a crossroads, and the approaches taken over the last few decades require serious rethinking. The publication is intended as a contribute to the critical reflection about how communicaction works for social change processes within the context of globalization and technology innovation.
