Intelligence gouvernementale et sciences sociales.
Vincent Spenlehauer [95-128].
Après 1945 en France, les rapports entre sciences sociales et action publique ont été fortement conditionnés par la constitution et les évolutions d'un appareil d'expertise socio-économique interne à l'État central et dont les expressions les plus fameuses sont «planification», «rationalisation des choix budgétaires», «évaluation des politiques publiques». L'auteur rend compte de la vie de cet appareil d'expertise, décrit les contradictions qui en minent la pertinence gouvernementale, et suggère que les sciences sociales auraient aujourd'hui tout à gagner à édulcorer leur positionnement autonomiste vis-à-vis de l'action publique.

When stripped to the bare bone, there are only 11 foundational paradigms in social sciences. These foundational paradigms are like flashlights that can be utilized to shed light on different aspects of human society, but each of them can only shed light on a limited area of human society. Different schools in social science result from different but often incomplete combinations of these foundational paradigms. To adequately understand human society and its history, we need to deploy all 11 foundational paradigms, although more limited combinations of them may be adequate for understanding more specific social facts.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the nature of explanations as given in both natural and social sciences. It discusses models of explanation adopted in natural and social sciences. The author also elaborates upon naturalistic and anti-naturalistic views and other types of explanations such as functional, purposive, etc in social science. The volume elaborates upon themes like bridge principle; functional explanation; purposive explanation; teleological explanation; prediction; methodological individualism; methodological collectivism; illocutionary redescription; principle of action; and dispositional explanations, to understand whether the explanations given in the realm of social sciences are the same or different from the explanations that are given in the field of natural sciences. This introductory book is a must read for students and scholars of philosophy of science, logic, science and technology studies, social sciences, and philosophy in general

An introduction to an examination of soc sci periodicals in the following 8 countries: Brazil, France, India, Japan, Mexico, Poland, the UK, & the US. General trends in the world at large are discussed. The quantitative increase in the N of periodicals published between 1951 & 1966 is noted, & a breakdown given by major languages, based on data drawn from the WORLD LIST OF SOCIAL SCIENCE PERIODICALS (latest Ed, UNESCO, Paris, 1966). There follows an analysis of general characteristics which shows: (1) that soc sci periodicals are closely tied to instit'al structures, & reflect their logic; (2) that the N of periodicals published is not necessarily r'ed with diversity of specialization; (3) that the major internat'l languages offer COMM advantages which multiply the N of periodicals appearing in them; (4) that the majority of periodicals are poorly staffed, & that there is yet little regular contact between Ed's & no widespread uniformity in the observance of minimal technical standards; (5) that relations between Ed's & readers are uneasy due to publication arrangements, lack of specificity & poor feedback; (6) that the makeup of journals' presents a certain repetition of classic patterns & reflects a farily high degree of personalization; & (7) that the appearance of new `mediating journals' represents an interesting departure. The internat'l soc sci press is defined, & a surveyed sample analyzed according to the returns of a,7? also used for all the 8-country reports. It is found that these periodicals still occupy a difficult position & are something of a superstructure on the various nat'i presses, though their number has increased rapidly & their future appears promising. A final section focuses on rational COMM in soc sci & puts forward points for discussing the improvement of periodicals as the circulatory system of the professional body, including a critique of ritualism, more attention to staffing & to presentation of data in assimilable form. The text of the survey questionaire is appended. AA.

THE PAPER EXAMINES THE WAYS GOVERNMENT POLICIES HAVE CAUSED AND/OR HELPED TO PERPETUATE THE POLARIZATION OF BLACK ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SINCE THE MID-1960'S - AN URBAN UNDERCLASS DEVELOPING ALONGSIDE A SMALL MIDDLE CLASS. SPECIFIC POLICIES AND PROGRAMS EXAMINED INCLUDE PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT, PUBLIC ASSISTANCE AND WORKER TRAINING.
"Fully revised and updated, the fourth edition of Social Sciences: The Big Issues explores key debates about how we live our personal, domestic, and emotional lives at a time of enormous, previously-unimaginable change and disruption, including a pandemic that locked down households and economies. Since the third edition, everyone's life has changed. The pandemic - at least temporarily - stopped social life as we knew it and forced governments virtually to close down their economies. This is where this edition of The Big Issues starts. Staying at home posed a radical departure from routine life, but reactions to COVID-19 have exposed the endurance of particular social relations - especially inequalities - which characterize societies worldwide. A few of the new Big Issues covered in this edition include: Changing selves and personal lives in light of racism and sexual and identity politics in a pandemic; Changing patterns of consumption in relation to market production and what it means for climate change; Changing intersections of citizenship, migration, and globalization in the context of the virus crossing borders - and both the opportunities and sources of inequality involved; Changing ideas about power, politics and populism in the aftermath of Brexit Building on the strong foundation of this well-loved text, this fully revised fourth edition explores how big issues and social forces intersect to create both change and evidence of continuity, especially of social inequalities. It provides a clear, accessible introduction to the ideas and approaches of the social sciences across a range of disciplines, including sociology, psychology, and politics"--

Working paper
This work, sequel to the author's Theories of Civil Violence, attacks questions that have long troubled social science and social scientists - questions of the cumulative nature of social inquiry. Does the knowledge generated by the study of social, political, and economic life grow more comprehensive over time? These questions go to the heart of social scientists' soul-searching as to whether they are indeed engaged in 'science'. The author pursues these questions through in-depth examination of various theoretical programs currently influential in social science, including feminist social science, rational choice theory, network analysis and others
"Real Social Science presents a new, hands-on approach to social inquiry. The theoretical and methodological ideas behind the book, inspired by Aristotelian phronesis, represent an original perspective within the social sciences, and for the first time this volume gives readers a set of studies exemplifying what applied phronesis looks like in practice. The reflexive analysis of values and power gives new meaning to the impact of research on policy and practice. Real Social Science is a major step forward in a novel and thriving field of research. This book will benefit scholars, researchers, and students who want to make a difference in practice, not just in the academy. Its message will make it essential reading for students and academics across the social sciences"--
