Cases and social movements

Some further contributions to the dialogue

Bjørn Gustavsen

Contemporary action research is facing three major challenges: The need to deal with a future that can no longer be understood in terms of the past, the need to create processes that can involve large numbers of other actors and the need to link the practical results of action research to the democratic institutions of society. In research terms, these challenges cannot be met through conventional, historically oriented studies only. There is a need to develop new orientations and to shape the research processes accordingly
