Abstract
The present document is the result of the deliberations by CAENTI WP5 “Analysis of the application of the governance principles of sustainable development to territorial action-research”. Like all CAENTI WPs, WP5 is made up of a multidisciplinary and multi-sectorial work group with participating representatives from six universities (Alba Iulia University, Franche-Comté University, Huelva University, Liége University, Pécs University, Salerno University) and CAENTI’s seven territorial actors (VALDOCCO, ACCEM, OPTIMA, INTEGRA+, APAPEI, COCAGNE, BARANYA COUNTY).
Both the research groups and the actors involved have extensive experience in the field of action-research applied to the solving of socio-economic problems (the fight against forms of exclusion, social integration, local and community development, etc.) in very different contexts. Their common link consists, on the one hand, of the confidence the researchers and actors have in research as the driving force for social change, and on the other hand, of their defence of the multidimensional and territorial approach due to their conviction that socio-economic problems are due to multiple, entwined factors and dynamics and that the arena where they are to be tackled is the territory where these factors and dynamics take shape (where they fall).
