Action research in policy analysis : the case of political ecological research on the transition from energy to sustainable renovation and construction of buildings in Slovenia
Maraž, Denis ; Lukšič, Andrej
The aim of this paper is to show the potential of action research in the field of policy analysis and policy design through the example of a political ecological study entitled “Analysis of the ...barriers of different target groups in decision-making processes related to the sustainable renovation of buildings”. The action research method has so far been used in Slovenia mainly in the pedagogical field, but it has not yet been recognised in policy analysis, except in a few cases, as a way of designing policies that go beyond problem-solving in the direction of designing development-oriented policies. In line with its purpose, the argumentative arc of the paper is broad, ranging from the nesting of the design of the new policy in different environmental discourses, a brief presentation of the starting points of action research, a demonstration of a method of data analysis grounded in critical discursive studies, and an outline of the concept of the communicative space, which constitutes a key element of the design of the consultation process. The latter extends the involvement of potential stakeholders from the spheres of politics, industry, business and the public in the shaping of the building renovation policy, and provides a continuum for reflexivity and the repoliticisation of the policy, polity and politics. The paper concludes with the outline of the structural problem of environmental policy and a brief description of the modification of the third step of action research with a focus on the design of the consultative process.
