“…People should identify their situations and problems, build competence, create opportunities and change by collective action with aims and perspectives ranging from social stability to social change (Rothman, 1995; Tan, 2009). Community work could thus serve to advise, educate, collaborate, and mediate aiming at adaptation and integration into established social structures, but also to conscientize, activate, organize, develop social capital, and mobilize collective power to change unequal structures for social development, justice, and inclusion of excluded groups (Munsch, 2003; Pandey, 1981; Payne, 2005; Rothschuh and Spitzenberger, 2010; Rubin and Rubin, 2001; Schönig, 2008).…”

The aim of this comparative study was to explore how community work is being undertaken in marginalized urban settings in Germany and Sweden, in relation to changing contexts of respective welfare models. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in neighborhoods in Gävle, Sweden, and Paderborn, Germany, and were analyzed by abductive thematic discourse analysis, using Atlas.ti and MaxQData. The results showed that community work in the respective settings is affected by lack of sufficient resources to meet increasing levels of social exclusion, related to ongoing transformation processes of the welfare regimes, and there is a lack of collective empowerment perspectives for social change.
