Participatory processes in the North

This Special Issue of PLA Notes focuses on participatory approaches and processes in the North. It presents a variety of case studies where participatory techniques have been used in a range of sectors and contexts, the key linkage between them being their location in the 'North'. Participatory approaches have been increasingly adopted in northern countries, influenced by the long history of participatory practice in the South. Articles draw from experiences in Japan, USA, UK, Norway, Australia, Northern Ireland and Canada.
