Commons, Sustainability, Democratization
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 the Commons as a way to transcend the present dichotomy between these two dimensions.

This book is closely connected to another book on Action Research that was recently published by Routledge: Action Research for Democracy: New Ideas and Perspectives from Scandinavia , edited by Ewa Gunnarsson, Hans Peter Hansen, Birger Steen Nielsen and Nadarajah Sriskandarajah.
Back in 2010, Kurt Aagaard Nielsen, Birger Steen Nielsen and Ewa Gunnarsson started planning a book on the contributions from Scandinavian Action Research to the contemporary international discussions on the role and function of Action Research. Kurt Aagaard Nielsen died in 2012 and was replaced by Hans Peter Hansen and Nadarajah Sriskandarajah. During the further development of the book, it became clear that this book, due to its broad and rich material, would exceed the limits of one publication. It was therefore decided to extract the section on sustainability, commons and democracy and turn it into an independent publication. The contributions already planned for the first book were supplemented by a handful of new ones. The result is this book.
