Cohen offers a new framework for analyzing social projects and
local social activism. Rather than look at how single projects are
designed and managed to evaluate their impact, the approach calls
for analyzing fields of social action: policy and politics,
institutional behavior, social networks among policymakers and
practitioners, and availability of funding and other resources.
Combined, they affect the conceptualization of a social problem and
the design and practice of social intervention. More broadly,
through circumscribing the range of thinking about social problems,
they delimit possibilities to generate social change. Analyzing
fields also allows for linking macro-level trends in areas like
policy to decision-making within individual organizations and the
effectiveness of projects at instigating the desired transformation
in individual and collective behavior. Working together,
policymakers, individual activists, nonprofit organizations, and
staff in public institutions like schools and hospitals can
critique and alter fields to challenge more effectively social
problems. This collaboration, in turn, affects how social policies
are designed and, ultimately, the politics of social change.
