Today’s pressing political, social, economic, and environmental crises urgently ask for effective policy responses and fundamental transitions towards sustainability supported by a sound knowledge base and developed in collaboration between all stakeholders. This book explores how action research forms a valuable methodology for producing such collaborative knowledge and action. It outlines the recent uptake of action research in policy analysis and transition research and develops a distinct and novel approach that is both critical and relational. By sharing action research experiences in a variety of settings, the book seeks to explicate ambitions, challenges, and practices involved with fostering policy changes and sustainability transitions. As such it provides crucial guidance and encouragement for future action research in policy analysis and transition research. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of policy analysis and transition research and more broadly to public administration and policy, urban and regional studies, political science, research and innovation, sustainability science, and science and technology studies. It will also speak to practitioners, policymakers and philanthropic funders aiming to engage in or fund action research.

No es solo el contenido académico lo que hace especial a este libro. Es la propia concepción de la investigación y su comunicación lo que le convierte en una obra que va mucho más allá de su especialidad: la investigación acción para el desarrollo territorial. Esta obra colectiva, coordinada por la investigadora Miren Larrea, hace una apuesta decidida por modificar los patrones clásicos de la comunicación científica en absoluta consonancia con la naturaleza de la investigación que proponen sus autores. El libro incorpora distintos tipos de textos para recoger un diálogo entre investigadores y agentes implicados y favorecer así una escucha mutua. Pero además recurre al multilingüismo para que los autores comuniquen mejor lo que quieren comunicar y a quienes deben comunicárselo. Ambas opciones —diversidad de textos y multilingüismo— conectan mundos que deben estar ligados: investigadores y actores en lo territorial, lo local y lo internacional, el idioma con la investigación apegada al territorio y lo teórico con lo aplicado. De este modo, los autores velan porque la investigación permee y llegue a su destino natural, pero también porque crezca gracias al intercambio de conocimientos y experiencias que propician. A través de las formas de comunicación elegidas, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de que la investigación social suceda no solo en el ámbito de lo académico y no solo en inglés. Por eso tiene un valor singular, incluso para los no especialistas en este tema, que hay que agradecer a su editora, al conjunto de coautores y a la editorial.

Edited by Patricia Canto-Farachala and Miren Estensoro García, this book is a third volume developing Action Reseach for Territorial Development (ARTD), a dynamic and participatory environment dedicated to fostering transformative research. Building on previous works, this volume brings together an intergenerational and multicultural group of contributors, reflecting ARTD’s growth into a more inclusive and diverse community. This growth and development of the environment is mirrored in its two parts. The first features reflections from experienced researchers, including theoretical advancements and practical frameworks for facilitating action research processes. The second part highlights contributions from a new generation of action researchers, initiated through the training processes at Orkestra-Basque Institute of Competitiveness. The book also features contributions by action researchers who have been working with ARTD in Praxis, Argentina but had not published their work in previous volumes.These emerging voices bring fresh perspectives to ARTD, addressing global contexts and exploring themes such as systemic facilitation in urban policy, the role of young facilitators in decision-making, the challenges of navigating cultural diversity in participatory processes, and the transformation of organizational structures in local governments. One of the central contents in the book is on the analysis of the action research environment itself. Through collaborative processes like Zubigintza—a monthly workshop space for knowledge sharing—the contributors refined their ideas, fostering dialogue and collective learning. The content is the result of a co-generative learning process, where experienced action researchers and the new generation of researchers worked together to integrate diverse perspectives and advance the ARTD environment. This volume celebrates the evolution of ARTD as a space for participatory, democratic, and transformative research. It serves as both a reflection on the environment’s progress and a vision for its future, emphasizing its limitless potential for continuous growth driven by inclusivity, collective ownership, and innovative, boundary-crossing collaboration.

"This is a wonderful book with deep insight into the relationship between teachers′ action and result of student learning. It discusses from different angles impact of action research on student learning in the classroom. Writing samples provided at the back are wonderful examples." —Kejing Liu, Shawnee State University Teacher Action Research: Building Knowledge Democracies focuses on helping schools build knowledge democracies through a process of action research in which teachers, students, and parents collaborate in conducting participatory and caring inquiry in the classroom, school, and community. Author Gerald J. Pine examines historical origins, the rationale for practice-based research, related theoretical and philosophical perspectives, and action research as a paradigm rather than a method. Key Features Discusses how to build a school research culture through collaborative teacher research Delineates the role of the professional development school as a venue for constructing a knowledge democracy Focuses on how teacher action research can empower the active and ongoing inclusion of nontraditional voices (those of students and parents) in the research process Includes chapters addressing the concrete practices of observation, reflection, dialogue, writing, and the conduct of action research, as well as examples of teacher action research studies

Fully revised and updated, this second edition of Participatory Action Research (PAR) provides new theoretical insights and many robust tools that will guide researchers, professionals and students from all disciplines through the process of conducting action research ‘with’ people rather than ‘for’ them or ‘about’ them. PAR is collective reasoning and evidence-based learning focussed on social action. It has immediate relevance in fields ranging from community development to education, health, public engagement, environmental issues and problem solving in the workplace. This new edition has been extensively revised to create a user-friendly textbook on PAR theory and practice, including: updated references and a comprehensive overview of different approaches to PAR (pragmatic, psychosocial, critical); more emphasis on the art of process design, especially in complex social settings characterized by uncertainty and the unknown; developments in the use of Web2 collaborative tools and digital strategies to support real-time data gathering and processing; updated examples and stories from around the world, in a wide range of fields; critical commentaries on major issues in the social sciences, including stakeholder theory, systems thinking, causal analysis, monitoring and evaluation, research ethics, risk assessment and social innovation. This modular textbook provides novel perspectives and ideas in a longstanding tradition that strives to reconnect science and the inquiry process with life in society. It provides coherent and critical treatment of core issues in the ongoing evolution of PAR, making it suitable for a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It is intended for use by researchers, students and working professionals seeking to improve or rethink their approach to co-creating knowledge and supporting action for the well-being of all.

Public universities are in crisis, waning in their role as central institutions within democratic societies. Denunciations are abundant, but analyses of the causes and proposals to re-create public universities are not. Based on extensive experience with Action Research-based organizational change in universities and private sector organizations, Levin and Greenwood analyze the wreckage created by neoliberal academic administrators and policymakers. The authors argue that public universities must be democratically organized to perform their educational and societal functions. The book closes by laying out Action Research processes that can transform public universities back into institutions that promote academic freedom, integrity, and democracy.
