• Sommario/riassunto: This informative text assesses the use of participatory methods as a research tool in the contexts of development and reconstruction after conflict and disasters by identifying cross-cutting themes and establishing a comparative lessons-learned framework. Rather than adopting a prescriptive perspective, the book provides a critical analysis of such methodologies.
