Free Download John Willinsky, "If Only We Knew: Increasing The Public Value of Social Science Research"
English | 2000 | pages: 263 | ISBN: 0415926521 | PDF | 2,0 mb
In If Only We Knew John Willinsky uses current social issues and historical precedents to demonstrate that the social sciences can and should contribute far more to public knowledge than they have in the past. We have the technologies, Willinsky demonstrates, and need only the determination to create a public resource out of social research that can extend democratic participation and self-determination, as well as improve research’s focus and public support. If Only We Knew offers examples of why and how this is not only possible but necessary, in the face of knowledge-based economies and a withering public sector. This book inspires the public to demand far more of research; it also shows researchers how to deliver far more of knowledge’s value to the public.

Free Download Daren C. Brabham, "Crowdsourcing in the Public Sector"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1626163790 | EPUB | pages: 120 | 0.9 mb
Crowdsourcing is a term that was coined in 2006 to describe how the commercial sector was beginning to outsource problems or tasks to the public through an open call for solutions over the internet or social media. Crowdsourcing works to generate new ideas or develop innovative solutions to problems by drawing on the wisdom of the many rather than the few. US local government experimented with rudimentary crowdsourcing strategies as early as 1989, but in the last few years local, state, and federal government have increasingly turned to crowdsourcing to enhance citizen participation in problem solving, setting priorities, and decision making. While crowdsourcing in the public sector holds much promise and is part of a larger movement toward more citizen participation in democratic government, many challenges, especially legal and ethical issues, need to be addressed to successfully adapt it for use in the public sector.

Free Download Harry W. Smart, "Criticism and Public Rationality: Professional Rigidity and the Search for Caring Government"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 041561354X | EPUB | pages: 236 | 0.8 mb
Criticism is at the heart of any political discussion, and criticism of old policies is central to the development of new ones. In its analysis of political decision-making, this reissue, first published in 1991, examines the principles which control the process of policy criticism. It identifies two fundamental and related obstacles to this process: the privileged status accorded to ‘professional judgement’ and the conflicting philosophical ideas that shape political argument. Based on the study of Europe’s largest local authority, the book presents a theory of decision-making that can be applied to institutions at all levels.

Free Download James Thompson, "British Political Culture and the Idea of ‘Public Opinion’, 1867-1914"
English | ISBN: 1107026792 | 2013 | 299 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Newspapers, periodicals, pamphlets and books all reflect the ubiquity of ‘public opinion’ in political discourse in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Britain. Through close attention to debates across the political spectrum, James Thompson charts the ways in which Britons sought to locate ‘public opinion’ in an era prior to polling. He shows that ‘public opinion’ was the principal term through which the link between the social and the political was interrogated, charted and contested and charts how the widespread conviction that the public was growing in power raised significant issues about the kind of polity emerging in Britain. He also examines how the early Labour party negotiated the language of ‘public opinion’ and sought to articulate Labour interests in relation to those of the public. In so doing he sheds important new light on the character of Britain’s liberal political culture and on Labour’s place in and relationship to that culture.

The Asia-Pacific region has not only the greatest concentration of population but is, arguably, the future economic centre of the world.

Free Download Anne-Christine Trémon, "From Village Commons to Public Goods: Graduated Provision in Urbanizing China "
English | ISBN: 1800739001 | 2023 | 284 pages | PDF | 9 MB
Illuminating the complex processes of China’s uneven urbanization through the lens of the transition from village commons to public goods, this book is set in three urbanized villages in Shenzhen, Chengdu, and Xi’an, which have experienced similar demographic explosions and dramatic changes to their landscapes, the livelihoods of its inhabitants, and the power structures governing their residents. Graduated provision is the delivery of public goods informed by the teleological ideology of urbanization, and by neoliberalism with Chinese characteristics, and has been employed as an answer to the challenges of making public goods, such as welfare provisions, public parks, education, and senior care, equally accessible to all in recently urbanized communities.
