Over the last 30 years, partnership has received growing attention
across a range of sectors and disciplines. Widely used to describe
a relationship in which different actors pool their resources,
knowledge and skills to address common problems, partnership is
currently presented as central to the achievement of more inclusive
and sustainable development. Rejecting "one size fits all"
approaches, and mindful of different understandings of the term,
Partnership and Transformation: The Promise of Multi-stakeholder
Collaboration in Context, which is designed to appeal to both
academics and practitioners alike, argues that partnership must be
understood in relation to specific contexts and the added value it
may offer for individuals, organisations and wider society. It is
further suggested that the transformational potential of
partnership rests critically upon a move away from purely
instrumental considerations of its worth to a deeper appreciation
of its intrinsic value as a process based on interpersonal
relationships. A stronger balance between pragmatic and reflective
dimensions of partnership can, the author claims, enhance
opportunities for meaningful deliberation and productive conflict
and contribute to the systems change needed for a global
citizenship that embraces human well-being and stewardship of the
planet.
Multi-actor partnerships are promoted as central to the achievement
of sustainable development. However, these relationships are not
always easy, and calls are being made for more guidance on how
partners can work together effectively to deliver results and
achieve meaningful change. Shaping Sustainable Change explains the
growing and significant role of partnership brokering in shaping
these relationships. Drawing upon the work of the Partnership
Brokers Association, it uses evidenced-based materials to show how
the work of partnership brokering contributes to the management of
collaborative relationships so that they are better positioned to
have a positive and sustainable impact. As well as making the case
for partnership brokering, the publication explores the profile and
key activities carried out by partnership brokers, and the skills
required to undertake this role. Examples are also provided to
illustrate how partnership brokering works in practice in relation
to different contexts, sectors and themes. This book will appeal
not only to partnership brokers but also to professional and
academic readers interested in achieving sustainable development.
