Peter G. Gould seeks to identify the success factors associated with economic development projects within communities adjacent to archaeological or heritage sites, a growing interest among archaeologists and heritage managers. Typically, the success of site museums, tourism businesses, or crafts cooperatives is rarely reported on in scholarly literature or subjected to systematic study. This book addresses that gap.

Gould argues that the success of community projects is inextricably linked to the mechanisms community members use to govern their project activities, and provides a much-needed assessment of the issues relating to community governance. Drawing together insights from economic analysis, political science, tourism scholarship, complexity scholarship, and the governance of non-profit enterprises, Gould suggests a model for community governance and illustrates the workings of that model through four case studies. Armed with this book’s theoretical foundation, heritage professionals will have practical approaches to consider when designing community economic development projects.

Peter G. Gould is a Consulting Scholar with the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, USA, and Adjunct Professor of Archaeology at the American University of Rome, Italy. He is co-editor of Archaeology and Economic Development (2014) and of Collision or Collaboration: Archaeology Engaging with Economic Development (2016).
