Summary
The ecological, social, and political challenges of our time demand transformation, and action research has the potential to respond to this demand, but only if we transform it. In this book, the author shares the results of a self-inquiry process based on fifteen years of experience facilitating action research for territorial development (ARTD) with policymakers. The goal is to contribute to developing more transformative approaches for the facilitation of action research.
The book’s rationale is that transformation is often hindered by dichotomic thinking (of stakeholders and action researchers), and facilitators can help overcome these obstacles, unlocking the transformative potential of action research. The goal of the book is thus to help make facilitation more transformative.
