Territorial Development and Action Research (eBook, ePUB)

Innovation Through Dialogue

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Territorial Development and Action Research examines the role of action research within fields such as territorial development, and innovation. Based on their own experience of territorial development processes from the inside-out, James Karlsen and Miren Larrea argue that filling the gap regarding social relations in the innovation process means researchers can engage in the processes taking place in the territory, thereby revealing how to make things work. This book will help researchers face the pressure to play a useful role in the development of their host regions. It will help policy makers continuously learn and redefine policy approaches and bring about collaboration through networks, programs and projects where researchers and practitioners in regional, local and urban development work together to construct territorial development.
