Commons, Sustainability, Democratization: Action Research and the Basic Renewal of Society (Routledge Advances in Research Methods)

This book presents theoretical discussions and practical examples of Action Research from Scandinavia, Latin America and Africa, primarily dealing with how to combine nature conservation and management with local democratic community development, seeing the renewal of Commons as a way to transcend the present dichotomy between these two dimensions.
