Using Networks For Economic Development by Camille Barnett

In March 2006 , PSGer Camille Barnett published an article entitled "Connections Matter: Using Networks for Economic Development." The article appears in the March issue of International City/County Management Association's (ICMA) journal Public Managment.

The article focuses on using connections that people have to their communities to catalyze economic development. Camille argues that “developing and using the ties that bind will help to build the economy, just as a university's alumni are a main support for its endowment and just as some developing countries' expatriates are their vital source of foreign income".
