Scientific Advice to Policy Making
Are there connections between the structures of political systems and types of scientific advice to policymak - ing? This volume unites case studies from the Netherlands, France, the European Union and the USA that provide an overview of different institutional arrangements, focusing on issues such as the independence and balance of advice. Common to all is the question which forms of advice can increase the rationality of policymaking without loss of political legitimacy. From the Contents: Mark B. Brown: Federal Advisory Committees in the United States Paul den Hoed and Anne-Greet Keizer: The Scientific Council for Government Policy David Demortain: Designing Regulatory Tools for Pharmaceutical and Food Safety in the European Union Laurent Geffroy, Odile Piriou and Bénédicte Zimmermann: Scientific Expertise in Policy-Making: The Case of Work Policy in France Willem Halffman: The Dutch ́ ́Planning Bureaus ́ ́
Youth Transitions
Youth and the future What will become of today’s young people in Australia, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America? Will they be supportive of the world they live in? Or are they doomed to be criminal drop-outs? The authors investigate to which extent different and contradictory trends of social modernisation and economic progress determine the biographical development and social integration of young people in different countries and world regions. Thus, the authors look at the role young people themselves can play in the future; either as construc tive social actors or as a problematic – and partly excluded – group unable to face the challenges of a permanently changing world.
The Holocaust in Three Generations
Victims and Perpetrators What form does the dialogue about the family past during the Nazi period take in families of those persecuted by the Nazi regime and in families of Nazi perpetrators and bystanders? What impact does the past of the first generation, and their own way of dealing with it have on the lives of their children and grandchildren? What are the differences between the dialogue about the family past and the Holocaust in families of Nazi perpetrators and in families of Holocaust survivors? This book examines these questions on the basis of selected case studies.

Youth and Political Participation in Europe
"How do young people in Europe perceive politics? How do they engage in the political realm? Which groups of young people are actively involved? And what kind of learning environments and opportunity structures can foster participation? These and related issues are addressed systematically in the basis of surveys (qualitative and quantitative) among 15- to 25-year-olds in selected European countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Italy, France, Great Britain, Finland and Estonia). In addition, the authors discuss fundamental methodological problems of comparative participation research. They introduce a new measurement instrument that was particularly developed during this European research project."--Publisher.

Wirkungen Sozialer Arbeit
Seit rund zwei Jahrzehnten wird die Soziale Arbeit immer wieder mit der Frage konfrontiert, wie sich die Wirkungen ihrer Arbeit nachweisen lassen. Die wissenschaftlich fundierte Soziale Arbeit muss sich zu diesem Thema positionieren – nicht zuletzt weil die Zuweisung finanzieller Ressourcen zunehmend davon abhängt. Durch die Darstellung der Potenziale und Grenzen der Evidenzbasierung vor dem Hintergrund unterschiedlicher Handlungsfelder leistet dieses Buch einen wertvollen Beitrag zu dieser Diskussion.
