Evidence-based Policy: A Practical Guide to Doing It Better

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cartwright, Nancy / Hardie, Jeremy, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press Inc, Over ong>theong> last twenty or so years, it has become standard to require policy makers to base ong>theong>ir recommendations on evidence. That is now uncontroversial to ong>theong> point of triviality--of course, policy should be based on ong>theong> facts. But are ong>theong> ong>methodsong> that policy makers rely on to gaong>theong>r and analyze evidence ong>theong> right ones? In Evidence-Based Policy, Nancy Cartwright, an eminent scholar, and Jeremy Hardie, who has had a long and successful career in both business and ong>theong> economy, explain that ong>theong> dominant ong>methodsong> which are in use now--broadly speaking, ong>methodsong> that imitate standard practices in medicine like randomized control trials--do not work. ong>Theong>y fail, Cartwright and Hardie contend, because ong>theong>y do not enhance our ability to predict if policies will be effective. ong>Theong> prevailing ong>methodsong> fall short not just because social science, which operates within ong>theong> domain of real-world politics and deals with people, differs so much from ong>theong> natural science milieu of ong>theong> lab. Raong>theong>r, ong>theong>re are principled reasons why ong>theong> advice for crafting and implementing policy now on offer will lead to bad results. Current guides in use tend to rank scientific ong>methodsong> according to ong>theong> degree of trustworthiness of ong>theong> evidence ong>theong>y produce. That is valuable in certain respects, but such approaches offer little advice about how to think about putting such evidence to use. Evidence-Based Policy focuses on showing policymakers how to effectively use evidence. It also explains what types of information are most necessary for making reliable policy, and offers lessons on how to organize that information.

Over ong>theong> next 38 days, half a million British, Canadian, American and French soldiers, sailors, and airmen grappled with ong>theong>ir German and Italian counterparts for control of this rocky outcrop of Hitler's 'Fortress Europe'. ong>Theong> Allied assault on Sicily featured airborne and amphibious landings; mountain ong>warong>fare; international rivalry; poorly performing troops; tenacious German resistance; and, ong>improvementong>s in tactical air support and ong>theong> ultimate Allied victory on ong>theong> island.

Meet Joe Copper: Masculinity and Race on Montana's World War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Basso, Matong>theong>w, PUBLISHER: ong>Theong> University of Chicago Press, "I realize that I am a soldier of production whose duties are as important in this ong>warong> as those of ong>theong> man behind ong>theong> gun." So began ong>theong> pledge that many home front men took at ong>theong> outset of World ong>Warong> II when ong>theong>y went to work in ong>theong> factories, fields, and mines while ong>theong>ir compatriots fought in ong>theong> battlefields of Europe and on ong>theong> bloody beaches of ong>theong> Pacific. ong>Theong> male experience of working and living in ong>warong>time America is rarely examined, but ong>theong> story of men like ong>theong>se provides a crucial counter-narrative to ong>theong> national story of Rosie ong>theong> Riveter and GI Joe that dominates scholarly and popular discussions of World ong>Warong> II. In "Meet Joe Copper," Matong>theong>w L. Basso describes ong>theong> formation of a powerful, white, working-class masculine ideology in ong>theong> decades prior to ong>theong> ong>warong>, and shows how it thrived--on ong>theong> job, in ong>theong> community, and through union politics. Basso recalls for us ong>theong> practices and beliefs of ong>theong> first- and second-generation immigrant copper workers of Montana while advancing ong>theong> historical conversation on gender, class, and ong>theong> formation of a white ethnic racial identity. "Meet Joe Copper" provides a context for our ideas of postong>warong> masculinity and whiteness and finally returns ong>theong> men of ong>theong> home front to our reckoning of "ong>Theong> Greatest Generation" and ong>theong> New Deal era.
