IPA researchers Nina Kolleck and Helge Jörgens, together with their colleague Mareike Well, contributed an articel called „Levels of governance in policy innovation cycles in community education: The cases of Education for Sustainable Development and Climate Change Education“ to the special issue „Adult and Community Education for Sustainability“ in the open access journal Sustainability.
While there is little doubt that social networks are essential for processes of implementing social innovations in community education such as Climate Change Education (CCE) or Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), scholars have neglected to analyze these processes in the multilevel governance system using Social Network Analysis. Based on data derived from standardized surveys and from Twitter the authors analyze the complex interactions of public and private actors at different levels of governance in the two selected policy areas to close that research gap.
