ABSTRACT
The previous chapters have considered what it is to work in partnership and how the use of collaboration and cooperation has come to be associated with partnership agreements. Such agreements and ventures require contexts in which to operate, and depend on the social and psychological perspectives of those involved within them. Giddens and Dewey provide a social context to examine partnership and the respective roles of participants within a structured framework; Vygotsky, Bakhtin and Piaget offer a constructive dimension to the way individuals can construct their knowledge within a given context.
