This broad approach to participation has informed our literature review, which is now available for download.

The review brings together different bodies of literature on participation, including literature on community development, volunteering, public participation, social movements, everyday politics and ethical consumption. It looks at the historical and current drivers of participation, the activities and actors of participation and different theoretical approaches that contribute to a better understanding of participation. It closes with our emerging ‘participation framework’ that we aim to further develop and refine in the subsequent stages of the project.

We are currently producing some short summaries on different aspects of the review. These will be uploaded on the website as soon as they are completed.
