Reflexive Interdisciplinary Research: The Making of a Research Programme on the Rural Economy and Land Use
回顾了英国研究理事会农村经济与土地利用（RELU）项目的起源与形成，探讨其促进社会科学与自然科学跨学科合作的方法，并分析科学政策中可持续发展和知识经济话语对研究透明度和问责制的影响。
Abstract This paper provides an account of the origins and formation of the UK Research Councils’ Rural Economy and Land Use (RELU) programme and its approach to promoting interdisciplinary working between social and natural scientists. The programme is set in the context of broader developments in science policy, including a policy discourse centred upon sustainable development and the knowledge economy and associated demands for greater accountability in science. Interdisciplinarity promises research that will be more relevant and responsive to public needs and concerns. In describing the provenance of the RELU programme, therefore, the paper seeks to lay out the different stages in its initiation and design to show how, to varying degrees, these were open to external scrutiny and influence. The process of developing the programme illustrates that it is not straightforward to make research agendas and funding more transparent and accountable. It also provides insights into the challenges that interdisciplinarity and accountability present to established science institutions.
