Agendas, Alternatives

Kingdon's landmark work on agenda setting and policy formation is drawn from interview conducted with people in and around the U.S. federal government, and from case studies, government documents, party platforms, press coverage, and public opinion surveys. While other works examine how policy issues are decided, Kingdon's book was the first to consider how issues got to be issues.

Agendas for Sustainability considers the processes used for devising global environment and development agendas and provides practical suggestions for their future development and influence.

Dieser Band nimmt eine komplementäre Akzentsetzung zu den in jüngster Zeit erschienenen Büchern zur Filmmusik vor und rückt insbesondere auch bislang weniger beachtete Aspekte der Filmmusik wie die Tradition der Ouvertüre oder die Rolle der Stimme in den Fokus. Einige Autoren verschränken gezielt Perspektiven aus Wissenschaft und Praxis, indem sie z. B. Produktionsbedingungen und Kompositionsprozesse erläutern.

This book contributes to how we conceptualize and investigate the role and influence of knowledge production by international organizations within the field of global education reform. After elaborating on what it means to approach the intersection of these issues from a political economy perspective, the book develops a focus on knowledge production broadly to examine specifically the production of impact evaluations, which have come to be seen by many as the most credible form of policy-relevant knowledge.
