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.
