Dear Colleagues,
Our new issue of the Annual Review of Social Partnerships (ARSP) is out!
The ARSP is an annual journal, aiming to bridge theory and practice of cross-sector partnerships by: using innovative, open-access publication formats; engaging an international, cross-disciplinary Editorial Board; and ensuring the cross-fertilisation of insights from both academics and practitioners. The ARSP is a public good with more than 50,000 direct recipients and, through its partnership with Greenleaf Publishers, is categorised and available via Ingenta Connect, one of the largest databases for professional publications and books.
Check out a list of the latest publications on cross-sector partnerships (CSPs), a toolbox full of pedagogical ideas, insights from practitioners, and "stakeholder poetry" by Ed Freeman:
Across five sections and 131 pages, this year's ARSP includes (yet is not limited to):
- A review of 114 publications on CSPs from 2015/2016, highlighting a growing attention towards multi-stakeholder initiatives and CSPs as an expression transnational and regulatory governance.
- A collection and discussion of pedagogical tools at the intersection of the Sustainable Development Goals and CSPs. Bringing questions of gender equality and the involvement of marginalized people into teaching and learning settings is one of the key cross-cutting themes throughout the Section.
- A discussion of new methodologies for partnership research, including applying action research and a gender lens to CSPs. Further, the ARSP Thought Gallery, contains three reflective contributions connecting CSP research to stakeholder theory, turbulent environments/ecosystems, and non-state market driven governance.
- Praxis Focus: The role of business as a catalyst for collaboration. Diverse case studies are presented to discuss the different skills and capacities that business can bring in to form partnerships that transform education, empower youth from economically disadvantaged communities, and unite a global, yet highly diverse and divided industry sector.
- Expert interviews highlighting the importance as well as the inherent limitations of cross-sector engagement.
Feel free to download it (open access), enjoy the reading, and share it freely with colleagues and practitioners working in the area of cross-sector partnerships.
