This textbook is an introductory guide to applying behavioral sciences and systemic thinking into public policy design and implementation. It presents an innovative public management toolkit to handle 'wicked' social problems - those not very responsive to traditional public policy instruments - by incorporating insights from the behavioral sciences and systemic design in the diagnostics of public problems, based on the motivations and constraints of the 'real citizen' - beyond the ideal citizen's perfectly rational intentions and plans devoid of social context or self-control problems. This volume aims to motivate the inclusion of broader and deeper insights from the behavioral sciences - especially behavioral economics, cognitive psychology, and social psychology - to the repertoire of public managers by introducing new methodologies for diagnosing the root causes behind public problems and for designing effective policies to address them. The new diagnosis tool - the MSI framework (an acronym for Motivation, Self-control, and Inattention problems) -, will help identify new mechanisms underlying social problems or reinterpret known problems based on behavioral insights. The new methodology for policy design - the PRIx framework (an acronym for Pricing policies, Regulatory policies, and Information policies) -, will enrich existing policy tools with such behavioral insights. Behavioral Insights for Policy Design: A New Framework for Understanding Wicked Social Problems and Designing Policies for Real Citizens will be a useful and practical guide to public managers and students of graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in public management interested in learning how to apply innovative tools and methodologies inspired by the behavioral sciences into public policy design in a simple and practical way, even when dealing with complex social problems

No studies currently exist on consuls and consulates (often dismissed as lowly figures in the diplomatic process) in the Cold War. Research into the work of these overlooked 'poor relations' offers the chance of new perspectives in the field of Cold War studies, exploring their role in representing their country's interests in far flung and unexpected places and their support for particular communities of fellow nationals and itinerant travellers in difficulties. These unnoticed actors on the international stage played far more complicated roles than one generally imagines..Contributors are: Tina Tamman, David Schriffl, Ariane Knuesel , Lori Maguire, Laurent Cesari, Sue Onslow, Pedro Aires Oliveira, David Lee, and Marek Handerek

"The postage stamp of the United States is a window into the ideology of American citizenship. Stamps differ from other repositories of nationalist messaging such as monuments, museums and textbooks. They are centrally controlled (by the post office), yet they change rapidly-more than three thousand different stamps have been deployed since the middle of the nineteenth century. The ubiquity of stamps in national life-and the fact that they change regularly yet remain controlled by a remarkably stable national agency-have made them a site where some of the deepest principles of U.S. national citizenship have been fixed, developed, deployed and challenged. The American Stamp is a study of the iconography and material history explores how the postage stamp has been a staging ground for a long-term debate concerning two views of U.S. citizenship, one centered on the freedoms afforded by democracy and the other on the freedoms afforded by consumerism. Stamps for most of the nineteenth century stuck to a political register, featuring a small cast of great men of politics and warfare. A decisive change occurred in connection with the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893, on which occasion the post office created the first U.S. "commemorative" stamps. These stamps celebrated the moment-the fair and the four hundredth anniversary of Columbus' voyage-but were not intended to stay in circulation or displace "regular issue" stamps. The creation of commemorative stamps opened the door to consumer choice as a driver of postal iconography. Interest groups soon learned to lobby the post office, and the post office began to think more seriously about the public not merely as citizens paying for postal services but as consumers buying government-issued souvenirs. With the postwar flowering of the consumer society, the post office issued more and more commemorative stamps. Since the iconography was intended to speak to issues of national history and identity, the consumer imperative of unlimited choice among similar alternatives came into tension with the democratic imperative of representing exemplary citizenship and its history"--

«Au-delà du constat des effets à court et long terme sur les patrimoines naturels et culturels, ce numéro explore les changements de pratiques entraînés par la prise de conscience des professionnels. Comment les institutions et les professionnels s'adaptent-ils ? Quelles stratégies nouvelles mettent-ils en place ? Quelles contraintes et limites rencontrent-ils ?Mais aussi, comment la préservation et la transmission de techniques anciennes de conservation-restauration et de savoir-faire traditionnels peuvent-elles être des réponses adaptées aux problématiques nouvelles? Comme toujours, Patrimoines met en lumière dans une section qui leur est dédiée les travaux des anciens élèves conservateurs et restaurateurs de l'INP sur des thématiques et des objets variés.»

"Şahin kam als Gastarbeiterkind nach Bremerhaven. Dort arbeitete er in einer Werft als Schweißer. Nebenbei war er schulpolitisch und gewerkschaftlich tätig und setzte sich für die Dinge ein, die ihm wichtig sind. Als Rentner widmet er sich dem Schreiben, mit dem Ziel, die Geschichten seines Volkes in Deutschland abzubilden. In diesem Buch stellt Şahin die ungekünstelte Darstellung dieser Erzählungen an erster Stelle. In jeder Geschichte werden Lesende auf eine Reise durch die schicksalhaften Erlebnisse der sogenannten »Gastarbeiter« und deren »Schlüsselkinder« mitgenommen, die damals auf Grund des Arbeitermangels nach Deutschland kamen und zum Wiederaufbau des Landes beitrugen. Unsicherheit, Trennungsschmerz und Sehnsucht waren dabei stets ihre Begleiter, während sie hart für ihre Existenz arbeiteten. Diese »Berichte« werden in einer so ehrlichen und authentischen Art vermittelt, das Lesende nicht anders können, als sich in den Texten wiederzufinden und mehr über diese Mitmenschen zu erfahren. Nach dem Lesen dieses Buches werden aus unbekannten Nachbarn Freunde" (Verlagsinformation)

Der Begriff Positionierungsmacht greift die foucaultsche Machtanalytik auf. Er bezeichnet eine gouvernementale Machtform, die sich in den gegenwärtigen Phänomenen des Wertens und Bewertens, in Castings, Rankings, Ratings usw. entfaltet. Diese aktuellen Formen der gesellschaftlichen Konstruktion des Wertvollen bilden neue Komplexe der Formierung und Regierung von Marktakteuren, deren Wirkweise über die bekannten foucaultschen Machtdiagnosen hinausweisen. Der Band entwickelt zentrale Aspekte und Dimensionen der Positionierungsmacht und illustriert deren Wirkweise anhand zweier Fallstudien.

Ambivalenzen sind allgegenwärtig?! Als Zustände des Hin-und-her-gerissen-Seins verorten sie sich in sozialen Beziehungen und Strukturen. In Professionen lassen sich Dynamiken der Interaktion und spezifische Umgangsweisen dokumentieren. Ambivalenzen werden dafür aus praxeologischer Perspektive und ausgehend von Polizei und Sozialer Arbeit exemplarisch in spannungsgeladenen Situationen, wie sie Gewalt in Partnerschaften darstellt, rekonstruiert. Denn in der Art und Weise, wie sich ein (professioneller) Umgang mit ihnen gestaltet, offenbaren sich individuelle und kollektive Bewältigungsstrategien.
