Action research and politics: power, love and inquiry in political transformations. International Journal of Action Research, 17(1), 41-58. https://doi.org/10.3224/IJAR.V17I1.031861-130310.3224/IJAR.V17I1.03https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14454/4173Motivated by areal case of action research with political aims, we focus attention on the importance of power dynamics and emotional work for all involved in the facilitation and manifestation of new policy. The paper introduces an extension of contemporary action research called Action Research Transformations (ART). In ART, reflexive co-agency op-erates as acore concept and practice, because it furthers the possibility of moving toward mutuality. This enables policy makers and researchers, working together, to move from power over to power with, and increases the transformative potential of the projects they develop together.spaAction Research for TransformationsEmotionsPoliticsPowerInvestigaciónAcción para la transformaciónPolíticaPoderEmocionesjournal article2025-10-301861-9916
