Advocacy for Social Justice is the first guide for worldwide social and economic justice advocates. It is a direct and interactive response to the growing need for NGOs to assume new policy advocacy roles. The authors consider why it is essential to build a civil society and nurture democracy as a means of sustaining continued mainstream development.
Ideal for practitioners, trainers, or students of activism, the guide uses the elements of advocacy and expounds on current issues using comprehensive case studies.

Review:
"Let's cut to the chase. This is a great book. If you are new to advocacy or you need a basic reference for your library, buy it. It would also be an excellent text for college-level international- or community-development students."
"An incredible guidebook that is packed with practical experiences, ideas and information for all activists, trainers, and development specialists. The authors have drawn on over 60 years of practical experience to provide the reader with the concepts and strategies necessary to support and strengthen advocacy. This book is well conceived and well organized, which makes it user friendly for all of us involved in the field of advocacy. It is a milestone."
"Of immeasurable help. . .Highly recommended to a wide range of libraries. It should prove of particular value to a public library with patrons who may be interested in seeing that 'democracy in action' is more than a buzz phrase."
