Contemporary Issues in Social Science International and Interdisciplinary Insights into Evidence and Policy, (Hardcover)

Collectively, the contributors to International and Interdisciplinary Insights into Evidence and Policy cross disciplinary and cultural boundaries to provide a contextualised analysis of the institutionalised evidence-based policy process. The chapters review a variety of policy issues, ranging from national and state level economic and social policies more generally to specific areas of intervention, such as EU bio-fuels targets, the Active Ageing Index, mental health and media, the construction of second-language learning policies, microfinance and alcohol policy in a wide variety of national and international contexts.
