Edited by Francesco Lo Piccolo and Huw Thomas, Ethics and Planning Research, Ashgate, 2009, 276p.

The consideration of ethics in social research has gained increasing prominence in the past few years, particularly research which seeks to inform public policy. This important and unique book provides a thorough examination of the issues relating to research ethics in planning for an international audience. The authors examine alternative frameworks within which ethical action can be discussed and critically describe the key institutional arrangements surrounding the management of ethical behaviour in research. Also included are highly relevant accounts of ethical challenges faced in planning research. This book results from a research of the AESOP Thematic Group on Ethics and Planning.
