In the face of today's complex policy challenges, various forms of
'joining-up' - networking, collaborating, partnering - have become
key responses. However, institutions often fail to take advantage
of the full benefits that joining-up offers. In this book, the
author draws on ethnographic research into learning networks in
post compulsory education and training in the state of Victoria,
Australia, to explore why this might be the case and presents an
argument for rethinking how joining-up works in practice.
Throughout the book, Deleuzian concepts are engaged to forge a
'little complicating machine', one that involves the reader in
rethinking the limits and possibilities of collaborative agendas.
The chapters draw on diverse disciplinary discourses to construct a
conceptual journey that includes the rationale for collaborative
agendas, the means by which we seek to understand and govern them,
the possibilities of knowing them as 'small worlds', the role
played in them by social capital, and the nature of network
sociability they demand. Overall, the book aims to provoke new
connections for the reader, and new ways of thinking about
networks, collaboration and partnerships - ways of thinking that
are in tune with the agenda itself.
