“…An example of this is the relatively recent recognition that quality-controlled research can be produced outside of academia, for example, in INGOs (Hayman et al 2016;Smith 2016;Travers 2016;BOND 2019). Broader movements centred on "cognitive justice" (De Sousa Santos 2014), "knowledge democracy" in the face of "epistemicide" (Hall andTandon 2017) andpost development (e.g.…”

While there is a burgeoning literature on the benefits of research collaboration for development, it tends to promote the idea of the "partnership" as a bounded site in which interventions to improve collaborative practice can be made. This article draws on complexity theory and systems thinking to argue that such an assumption is problematic, divorcing collaboration from wider systems of research and practice. Instead, a systemic framework for understanding and evaluating collaboration is proposed. This framework is used to reflect on a set of principles for fair and equitable research collaboration that emerged from a programme of strategic research and capacity strengthening conducted by the Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) for the United Kingdom (UK)'s primary research funder: UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). The article concludes that a systemic conceptualisation of collaboration is more responsive than a "partnership" approach, both to the principles of fairness and equity and also to uncertain futures. RÉSUMÉBien qu'il existe une littérature émergente sur les bienfaits de la collaboration pour le développement de la recherche, celle-ci tend à promouvoir la notion du partenariat comme un périmètre délimité dans lequel il est possible d'intervenir pour améliorer les pratiques de collaboration. Cet article ancre son analyse dans la théorie de la complexité et la pensée systémique, et démontre par leur biais qu'une telle hypothèse est problématique, car elle dissocie la collaboration du reste des systèmes de recherche et de pratique. Nous privilégions ici une approche systémique afin de comprendre et d'analyser les collaborations. Cette approche nous permet d'étudier un ensemble de principes visant à faciliter une collaboration juste et équitable dans la recherche qui ont émergé d'un programme de recherche stratégique et de renforcement des capacités, dirigé par la Rethinking Research Collaborative (RRC) pour le principal bailleur de fonds de la recherche au Royaume Uni : UK ARTICLE HISTORY
