This book in the QRM series is designed for a wide variety of research methods courses taught in various departments. It will be of most interest to those in Public Policy, Political Science, and Public Administration departments, but will also be of interest to researchers in Sociology, Anthropology, Communication and Education departments, among others. The book fills a gap in the traditional policy analysis coverage, which is usually heavily quantitative. It will also fill a gap in the QRM series in covering the discipline of political science, which is warming to qualitative methodology...slowly. There has been much in the journal literature in the past 15 years calling for more interpretive approaches to the study of public policy; Yanow has been in the middle of it.

No es solo el contenido académico lo que hace especial a este libro. Es la propia concepción de la investigación y su comunicación lo que le convierte en una obra que va mucho más allá de su especialidad: la investigación acción para el desarrollo territorial. Esta obra colectiva, coordinada por la investigadora Miren Larrea, hace una apuesta decidida por modificar los patrones clásicos de la comunicación científica en absoluta consonancia con la naturaleza de la investigación que proponen sus autores. El libro incorpora distintos tipos de textos para recoger un diálogo entre investigadores y agentes implicados y favorecer así una escucha mutua. Pero además recurre al multilingüismo para que los autores comuniquen mejor lo que quieren comunicar y a quienes deben comunicárselo. Ambas opciones —diversidad de textos y multilingüismo— conectan mundos que deben estar ligados: investigadores y actores en lo territorial, lo local y lo internacional, el idioma con la investigación apegada al territorio y lo teórico con lo aplicado. De este modo, los autores velan porque la investigación permee y llegue a su destino natural, pero también porque crezca gracias al intercambio de conocimientos y experiencias que propician. A través de las formas de comunicación elegidas, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de que la investigación social suceda no solo en el ámbito de lo académico y no solo en inglés. Por eso tiene un valor singular, incluso para los no especialistas en este tema, que hay que agradecer a su editora, al conjunto de coautores y a la editorial.

Intelligence on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society shows how today’s intelligence practices constantly contest the frontiers between normal politics and security politics, and between civil society and the state. Today’s intelligence services face the difficult task of having to manage the uncertainties associated with new threats by inviting civil actors in to help, while also upholding their own institutional authority and responsibility to act in the interest of the nation. This volume examines three different perspectives: Managerial practices of intelligence collection and communication; the increased use of new forms of data (i.e. of social media information); and the expansion of intelligence practices into new areas of concern, for example cybersecurity and the policing of (mis-)information. This book accurately addresses these three topics, and all chapters shine more light on the inclusion, and exclusion, of civil society in the secret world of intelligence. By scrutinizing how intelligence services balance the inclusion of civil society in security tasks with the need to uphold their institutional authority, Intelligence on the Frontier Between State and Civil Society will be of great interest to scholars of Security Studies and Intelligence Studies. The chapters were originally published as a special issue of Intelligence and National Security.

A New Mind For Policy Analysis written by Goktug Morcol and has been published by Praeger this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2002-12-30 with Political Science categories.
Morcol argues that the objectivist and deterministic assumptions of mainstream policy analysis, which are based on the Newtonian/positivist worldview or mind-set, should be transcended. After demonstrating that the favored methods of mainstream policy analysis are based on Newtonian ontological and positivist epistemological assumptions and that the connections between these two are intimately and historically related, he critically assesses and highlights the contributions of quantum mechanics, complexity theory, and cognitive science to a new mind-set in scientific knowledge, a post-Newtonian and postpositivist mind-set. Newtonian/positivist and post-Newtonian/postpositivist worldviews are conceptualized as fuzzy mind-sets, that is they are not mutually exclusive and that they share assumptions at varying degrees. Cognitive science shows that some of the fundamental concepts and assumptions of the Newtonain/positivist philosopy—such as the concept of causality and the tendency to categorize reality (reductionist thinking)—are the products of the evolutionary adaptation of the human mind and they have become its built-in defaults. As Morcol suggests, we cannot change the biological defaults of our minds, but we can change our way of thinking, to an extent, through a cultural evolution. He argues that conscious efforts can be made in policy analysis education to help move our thinking toward a post-Newtonian and postpositivist policy analysis. Of particular interest to scholars and advanced students dealing with policy analysis, public administration, and political science, especially those concerned with epistemology and methodology.

Striving to redirect the study of public administration toward innovation and imagination, deliberative democracy, knowledge transfer, policy making, and ethics and values--topics which for too long have been overshadowed by traditional problems of efficency, productivity, and instrumental-rational solutions--this book of diverse essays is certain to invigorate both scholarship and practice. Eighteen leading international scholars evaluate public administration's historical development and explore the significance and value trends in public administration from a variety of cutting-edge theoretical and practical perspectives. Aimed at students and practitioners alike, this collection of essays is certain to stimulate critical thinking and discussion of public administration's aims, mechanisms, and overall effectiveness, as well as the role it plays in democratizing countries.
