Hi Hege,<br>
<br>
I'm in correspondence with professor Emma Bell who is currently
researching Open Space in the context of the "Unconference"
movement, and she and her associate in the U.K. are doing some
ongoing research in this area. I have an early copy of their
research. I'll let you know if there is an update of when there will
be something that can be shared more broadly.<br>
<br>
One book that might be interesting for academic research into Open
Space is the use of Game Theory to think about the value of circle
processes. The book is called Ratual Ritual: Culture, Coordination,
and Common Knowledge, by Michael Suk-Young Chwe who teaches game
theory at the political science department of UCLA. (Thank you to
Daniel Mezick for finding this book!)<br>

Emma found that the research is limited for Open Space. But there is
a non-trivial amount that has been compiled by the community in the
past here: <a

<pre wrap="">Hello.
I`m working on an article about the experience with OST in Norwegian work- places, in particular municipalities.
I wonder if there are som kind of overview of earlier research on the field, published and unpublished
Would be great :-)
All the best
Hege Steinsland
