The the Science of Science Policy: A Handbook
ISBN: 9780804770781 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Basic scientific research and technological development have had an enormous impact on innovation, economic growth, and social well-being. Yet science policy debates have long been dominated by advocates for particular scientific fields or missions. In the absence of a deeper understanding of the changing framework in which innovation occurs, policymakers cannot predict how best to make and manage investments to exploit our most promising and important opportunities. Since 2005, a science of science policy has developed rapidly in response to policymakers' increased demands for better tools...

Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and offers a critical introduction tying them together.

Naked America: Stripped of Its Many Myths, The Bare Truth Suggests Revolutionary Economic, Political and Social Reforms
ISBN: 9781419655760 / Angielski / Miękka / 686 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Every society has its ideals, and its myths. In Naked America, author Michael A. Smith examines many of the nation's original ideals, and presents compelling information indicating most of them have been transformed into myths. For example, many regularly describe the United States as the land of economic opportunity, yet 20 percent of American households earn half of all income, and own more than half of all the nation's assets. Education is touted as the road to success, although only one-third of high school graduates achieve a postsecondary education degree. Two-thirds of future jobs in...

The Evidence Book
ISBN: 9781412845816 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Knowledge grows as ideas are tested against each other. Agreement is not resolved simply by naming concepts, but in the dialectical process of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. There are many echoes of these debates in The Evidence Book. The contributors make claims for both practitioner wisdom and the voice of experience. Against this is posed the authority of experimental science and the randomized controlled trial. The contributors are concerned, in their own ways, with collecting, ranking, and analyzing evidence and using this to deliver evaluations. As an expert group, they are aware...

Local Ownership and Security Sector Reform
ISBN: 9783825816520 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The notion of "local ownership" has emerged in recent years as part of the contemporary common sense of security sector reform (SSR). While the argument that externally driven reform processes are unsustainable is now widely accepted, the principle of local ownership has proven difficult to both define and operate. With contributions by leading practitioners, Local Ownership and Security Sector Reform subjects the broader issue of local ownership to critical scrutiny, furthers the debate on what local ownership is and why it matters, and explores how ownership issues have played out in...

Pragmatist Democracy: Evolutionary Learning as Public Philosophy
ISBN: 9780199772445 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Barack Obama is often lauded as a 'pragmatist, ' yet when most people employ the term, they mean it in the vaguest sense: that he's practical and willing to compromise to get things done. However, the public philosophy of pragmatism, which has been the subject of a rich revival in the past couple of decades, is far more than this. First developed in the late nineteenth century, pragmatism is primarily a way of thinking--an anti-dualist philosophy that attempts to overcome the dichotomies between self and object, nature and culture, mind and body, theory and practice, and fact and value. When...

Evidence, Policy and Practice: Critical Perspectives in Health and Social Care
ISBN: 9781847422842 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In many areas of the welfare state, there is a growing emphasis on 'evidence-based policy and practice'. Against this background, this edited book provides a hard-hitting and deliberately provocative overview of the relationship between evidence, policy and practice, how policy is implemented and how research can and should influence the policy process. It critiques the notion of 'evidence-based practice', suggesting instead a more inclusive idea of 'knowledge-base practice', based in part on the lived experience of service users. Written by leading policy analysts and researchers, it will be...

Organisational Innovation in Health Services: Lessons from the Nhs Treatment Centres
ISBN: 9781847424792 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Amid a welter of simultaneous policy initiatives in the UK, health treatment centers were a top-down National Health Service (NHS) innovation that became subverted into a multiplicity of solutions to different local problems. This book is a highly readable account of how and why these centers evolved with completely unforeseen results, revealing clear practical lessons based on UK case-study research involving over 200 interviews. By following the case studies through each key stage of reform, the book tells the story of NHS reform in action. Well-structured and clearly written, it uncovers a...
