The essays presented in this volume examine knowledge
mobilisation and its relation to research impact and engagement.
The social sciences matter because they can help us to understand
and address the complex challenges confronting society. This is
particularly true in an era of significant downward pressure on
public expenditure, a consequence of the global fiscal crisis, when
there is a striking need to ensure that policies are demonstrably
effective and efficient. The impact agenda in the UK, reflected in
parallel global debates, actively encourages the social sciences to
make and demonstrate a difference; to justify and protect social
science funding. This volume shows how knowledge mobilisation can
be thought of systematically as a process, encompassing engagement,
leading to the co-production and channelling of knowledge to make a
difference in the economy and society.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
"Contemporary Social Science."
