CoSA Paper No.11
A concluding commentary on the the work of the Council on Social Action. This report reflects on the what has been learned over the two year lifespan of the Council on Social Action,including the range of ways for CoSA to pursue its aims, from making recommendations for new initiatives to carrying out heavy duty policy development directly, from energetically chasing recommendations through to convening others to do things.The report concludes that the CoSA experiment has been useful. It can inform the ways in which social action generates new solutions to the challenges we face. Building on a set of shared values, it has generated a wide impact. It has done this in ways that will last.
