City power: Urban governance in a global age, by Richard Schragger

communities. However, more detailed accounts of how actors resolved dilemmas and grappled with the challenges of collaboration would have made it an evenmore useful guide for practice. Although the case studies clearly explain why the initiatives fulfill important community needs, they are relatively silent about how the new projects might contribute to or detract from current operations. Descriptions of how partners ultimately chose to collaborate instead of cultivating the requisite expertise in-house would have illuminated the tensions between interdependence and autonomy that the authors briefly acknowledge. Similarly, they could have illustrated the importance of deliberation about whether to distribute the work among the partners, appoint a lead organization, create a new entity, or merge existing organizations. Although the authors emphasize the importance of trusting relationships, they donot showhowpartners rebounded following a conflict or a partner’s failure to follow through with a commitment. The case studies illustrate communication techniques, such as holding regular meetings and community outreach, yet they do not mention strategies for translating professional jargon across disciplines, contending with different organizational cultures, or managing power dynamics common in interactions among actors with diverse backgrounds, different levels of experience, and varied abilities to contribute resources. Finally, Navigating may encourage funders, intermediaries, and other champions of community development innovation to deepen their support and compile planning guides with case studies that depict struggles and striving, and even a few noble failures, along with achievements. In sum, Navigating is a valuable addition to the community development literature and a compelling invitation for more theory, guidance, and support for community development practice.
