Abstract:
This paper aims to capture the richness and diversity of action research on the global justice
movement. It starts by proposing a typology of five tendencies (participative-collective
method; producing alternative content; strategic thinking for political processes; building
relationships and networking connections; and opening knowledge). It goes on to present
clusters of different experiences, illustrated by examples. Having provided an orientation map
of action research on the global justice movement, the author concludes by presenting what in
her view should characterize action research. The paper is based on participant observation, a
review of the literature and personal experience.
