I think a much clear concept is the use of community development which really is the over arching principle in good community relations including the smoke screen concept now used as community cohesion. The report below highlights the main concerns and issues within community relations and the effect of the recession and rising unemployment. By using migrants and asylum seekers as scapegoats for the UK's recession and the failure of globalization, free market and the banking system only proofs that Community Cohesion and funding faith groups to prevent radicalization did not make a difference in terms of the growing rise of nationalistic xenophobic attitudes. Labour missed the point. Meaning what can New Labour offer their constituents? what do you do with disaffected predominantly white unemployed? Obviously this is also linked with the so called protest vote for the BNP and the far right groups across Europe.
The Community Development Foundation produced a recent report worth reading.
