Download or read book Evaluation Cultures written by Jean-Claude Barbier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation Cultures draws upon a sample of reflections, drawn from organizational practices, nationally centered political cultures, and ethnic cultures, as a framework for understanding how culture influences the work of evaluation. Two main conclusions seem to emerge: first, that there exists no single, uniform, and homogenous national evaluation culture; second, that the idea of a unified transnational culture of evaluation is an illusion.The evaluation community includes a diverse group of professionals; a diversity that is not just represented in national or ethnic culture but also in academic backgrounds, public and private sector allegiances, and personal character. The contributors to this book represent, in part, this diversity by reflecting a range of views.Evaluation Cultures draws upon the experience of senior evaluation practitioners, who share their reflections on their practice and experience, in order to put forth challenges to purely academic analysis. Evaluation Cultures presents a consistent, if not exhaustive, attempt to give analytical and empirical sense to all of the cultures of the evaluation community.

This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 1307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook offers a systematic review of state-of-the-art knowledge on public administration in Europe. Covering the theoretical, epistemological and practical aspects of the field, it focuses on how public administration operates and is studied in European countries. In sixty-three chapters, written by leading scholars, this Handbook considers the uniqueness of the European situation through an interdisciplinary and comparative lens, focusing on the administrative diversity which results from the multiplicity of countries, languages, schools of thought and streams of investigation across Europe. It addresses issues such as multi-level administration and governance, intensive cross country cooperation in administrative reform policy, and public accountability under different systems. It also considers the issue of welfare service delivery, at a time of major economic and societal challenges, as well as understudied emerging issues like Islamic Public Administration and the dynamics of public sector negotiations. With contributions from key experts in Public Administration and Public Management, this cutting edge Handbook offers a significant contribution to the field of comparative public administration, policy and management.

Download or read book Policy Capacity and Governance written by Xun Wu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides unique insights into the role of policy capacity in policymaking and policy change, as it is being uncovered at the research frontier in contemporary policy studies. The book is structured into a series of sections on policy capacity in theory and practice, each focusing on a specific aspect of policy capacity and its influence on policy formulation, decision-making, implementation and evaluation. In addition to making a significant contribution to the body of literature on the theoretical approaches to researching the role of capacity in policymaking, it also provides practical examples of the application of these approaches through a variety of national and sectoral case studies. Including contributions from authors working in a wide variety of disciplines, the book demonstrates, across the various topics investigated, many commonalities and consistencies in relation to the study of policy capacity and policy-making. This work has interdisciplinary appeal and will engage scholars in fields ranging from geography to communications, health, social work and political science, amongst others with an interest in public policy.

Download or read book Culture et politiques publiques culturelles en Europe written by Hélène Pauliat and published by Presses Universitaires de Limoges et du Limousin. This book was released on 2013 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La culture est-elle une politique publique ou un sujet que l'on doit protéger malgré les difficultés économiques actuelles ? Cette question provocatrice est l'une de celles que l'association Europa a souhaité aborder pour son colloque annuel à Limoges sur "Culture et politiques publiques culturelles en Europe : quelles valeurs à préserver en temps de crise ?". Les actes de ces rencontres permettent de mettre en évidence un certain nombre d'interrogations communes à plusieurs Etats d'Europe, en particulier s'agissant du rôle des différents acteurs dans la définition et la gouvernance de la culture, sur les modalités de financement des politiques culturelles (peut-on financer sans aliéner ?), sur le rôle de la culture comme facteur de cohésion sociale et territoriale, sur l'accès à la culture, et finalement sur la notion même de culture : s'agit-il d'un bien comme un autre ou n'est-ce pas avant tout le creuset de nos libertés de création et d'expression ?

Download or read book L valuation des politiques publiques written by Patrice Braconnier and published by Canopé - CNDP. This book was released on 2010 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "La réforme de l'État, la décentralisation et les principes de la gouvernance ont rendu nécessaire le développement de l'évaluation des politiques publiques. Or cette pratique récente et peu standardisée provoque souvent des malentendus dans les concepts et une diversité dans les mises en oeuvre. L'action publique s'est considérablement complexifiée ; aussi est-il indispensable de faire preuve de discernement, non seulement dans le recueil de l'information pertinente pour concevoir les politiques publiques, décider et suivre leur réalisation, mais surtout pour en tirer des enseignements afin de porter un jugement qui éclaire la décision. Les études de cas proposées dans cet ouvrage démontrent que, de la plus petite entité publique jusqu'aux plus gros systèmes étatiques, en passant par ce qui relève de l'action croisée de collectivités territoriales, d'associations, d'établissements publics ou privés, d'instances internationales ou d'entreprises, l'évaluation fait partie intégrante de toutes les activités humaines organisées sur la base de projets collectifs. Mais le développement de cette culture, qui ne va pas forcément de soi, suppose des changements d'habitudes de travail, de méthodes, et surtout, de représentations, de comportements et d'attitudes. En apportant un éclairage sur les fondements, les méthodologies, les outils, les partenaires, les enjeux, les parties prenantes et en proposant quelques recommandations, cet ouvrage s'interroge sur la pertinence de l'évaluation des politiques publiques, son avenir et ses limites, tout en réaffirmant la nécessité de développer, selon la formule d'Edgar Morin, une intelligence de la complexité."--Book cover.

Download or read book Promouvoir une culture d valuation des politiques publiques written by Nasser Mansouri-Guilani and published by Les éditions des Journaux Officiels. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'évaluation des politiques publiques vise à fournir une appréciation sur les effets directs et indirects de l'action publique, et à en rendre compte aux citoyens. Contrairement à une idée répandue, les pratiques évaluatives sont assez fréquentes dans notre pays et de nombreux organismes y participent. Pourtant l'évaluation reste méconnue, et sans doute sous-utilisée en tant qu'outil d'amélioration de la décision et de l'intervention publiques. Pour y remédier il convient de promouvoir une culture de l'évaluation des politiques publiques. La spécificité du CESE en tant que lieu de rassemblement de la " société civile organisée " lui permet d'y contribuer pleinement. C'est dans cette perspective notamment que le Conseil s'est emparé du sujet pour en analyser les enjeux, passer en revue les pratiques évaluatives et formuler des propositions.

Download or read book valuation des politiques publiques trois illustrations dans le champ culturel written by Thibault Brodaty and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'évaluation des politiques publiques permet de mesurer l'effectivité de la mise en œuvre d'une mesure et son efficacité, évaluée selon les objectifs définis et justifiant l'intervention publique. Les méthodologies d'évaluation des politiques publiques peuvent être de différentes natures et les sciences économiques disposent d'outils permettant une évaluation d'ordre économétrique. Comparer directement les bénéficiaires et les non-bénéficiaires d'une mesure fournit une évaluation biaisée dans la mesure où ces deux groupes ont en général des caractéristiques différentes. Les méthodes économétriques ont en commun de résoudre ce problème en permettant de raisonner "toutes choses égales par ailleurs", c'est-à-dire d'isoler l'effet de la mesure afin d'en apprécier l'impact propre. Conformément au modèle causal de Rubin, l'évaluation consiste ainsi à comparer la situation que l'on peut observer avec celle que l'on observerait en l'absence d'intervention publique. Cette dernière, appelée situation contrefactuelle, est fondamentalement inobservable et tout l'enjeu des méthodes économétriques est d'en fournir une estimation la plus précise possible. Les trois outils les plus classiques sont présentés ici et illustrés par trois dispositifs d'intervention publique dans le champ de la culture : le label LIR, le dispositif École et cinéma et le crédit d'impôt audiovisuel. Dans le cas du label LIR, il est proposé d'évaluer si le label a permis à certaines librairies d'améliorer leur taux de rentabilité. Le label LIR permet d'exposer théoriquement la méthode des différences de différences ou estimateur en double différences, qui consiste à comparer avant et après la création du label les librairies labellisées et non labellisées pour évaluer son efficacité. Avec le dispositif École et cinéma, l'évaluateur se demande si le programme a permis de développer le goût des enfants pour le cinéma en analysant le taux de fréquentation annuelle des salles obscures des jeunes adultes....

Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.

Download or read book Language Contact and the Future of English written by Ian Mackenzie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on the future of the English language as used by native speakers, speakers of nativized New Englishes, and users of English as a lingua franca (ELF). The volume begins by outlining the current position of English in the world and accounts for the differences among native and nativized varieties and ELF usages. It offers a historical perspective on the impact of language contact on English and discusses whether the lexicogrammatical features of New Englishes and ELF are shaped by imperfect learning or deliberate language change. The book also considers the consequences of writing in a second language and questions the extent to which non-native English-speaking academics and researchers should be required to conform to ‘Anglo’ patterns of text organization and ‘English Academic Discourse.’ The book then examines the converse effect of English on other languages through bilingualism and translation. This volume is essential reading for students and scholars in English language, sociolinguistics, language acquisition, and language policy.

Download or read book Beyond Devolution and Decentralisation written by Alistair Cole and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond devolution and decentralisation compares the politics, policies and polity-building dynamics of devolution in Wales and decentralisation in the French region of Brittany. Empirically, the book draws conclusions from in-depth fieldwork within two regions and reports the findings of a comparative public opinion survey. Theoretically, it contributes towards our understanding of the comparative study of regions. Perhaps most impressive is how the case studies generally are based on, but also cast light back, to the nuanced theoretical framework on regional capacity established at the outset. The book uncovers the dynamics of devolution in Wales and decentralisation in Brittany through extensive face to face interviews: over 200 interviews were carried out from 2001 to 2004, a formative stage in the development of the devolved institutions in Wales and a period of expectation in Brittany as well. The book will be of interest to the professional research community and to practitioners in Britain, France and beyond, as well as to students on comparative politics, British/Welsh politics, French politics, European studies and public policy courses.

Download or read book European Identity and Culture written by Markus Thiel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the EU continues its integration process, the concepts of culture and transnational European belonging remain ambivalent, whether in the realm of socio-historical representation or mass politics. Engaging with recent scholarly debates surrounding the formation of collective transnational identities, this collection draws on the latest empirical case studies to explore the meaning and composition of European identity, the mechanisms that create and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each author pays close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation, whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such as symbols, coinage, ceremonies and discursive manifestations, or in the cultures of the everyday, such as through new forms of communication networks, consumption or leisure. Exploring attempts by various actors - institutions, groups, individuals - to create transnational European identities, European Identity and Culture scrutinizes the cultural formations that have either reignited or emerged in often contradictory relations to the EU project, including local, regional and transnational allegiances. A rich, interdisciplinary investigation of the role of culture in the formation of European identity, whether as a central building block to unity or as a formidable obstacle to a common sense of purpose, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities working on questions of political culture, European integration, citizenship and (trans-) national identity.

Book excerpt: This forward-looking resource recasts the concept of healthy cities as not only a safe, pleasant, and green built environment, but also one that creates and sustains health by addressing social, economic, and political conditions. It describes collaborations between city planning and public health creating a contemporary concept of urban governance—a democratically-informed process that embraces values like equity. Models, critiques, and global examples illustrate institutional change, community input, targeted assessment, and other means of addressing longstanding sources of urban health challenges.
