Knowledge, Policy and Power in International Development: A Practical Guide
Autor Harry Jones, Nicola Jones, Louise Shaxson, David Walkeren Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 mai 2012
An illuminating look at the relationship between knowledge, policy, and power, this book scrutinizes the problems that hamper attempts to bring knowledge to bear on policy, such as difficulties in analyzing political contexts, persistent power imbalances between involved parties, ignorance of different types of knowledge, and misconceptions of the role of intermediaries. Most importantly, the authors provide strategies for negotiating this complex terrain, allowing readers to contribute to policy discussions, influence policy change, and implement policies and programs more effectively.

Recenzii
"This book provides many insights into how researchers and practitioners can work better together in addressing complex policy issues. The conceptual approach is very helpful in making sense of the intersection between knowledge and policy, research and practice, and the book has great value for wider audiences in policy studies and social research.”
“Pfeffer describes politics as the study of power in action. This book takes this view seriously and brings an important and new perspective to bear on the knowledge to policy debate.”
