The case studies contained in this book show real life examples of complex problems being addressed through collaboration. The problems confronting modern society are complex and do not lend themselves to simple solutions or linear decision making. They require the involvement of many stakeholders. This is often brought about by networks, which bring together a multitude of players in the search for solutions to public policy issues.

"Der vorliegende Sammelband - der erste, der zur Gänze Aspekten der byzantinistischen Epigraphik gewidmet ist - umfasst in erster Linie Beiträge zweier internationaler Konferenzen (Wien 2010, Sofia 2011). Er gliedert sich in vier Abschnitte und versammelt unter anderem folgende Artikel: Nach einem einführenden Beitrag über die 'Geschichte' der byzantinistischen Epigraphik versucht Cyril Mango den Terminus "Byzantinische Inschrift" und seine Grenzen zu definieren. Vincent Debiais liefert interessante Beobachtungen anhand eines Vergleichs von westlichen und byzantinischen Inschriften. Der zweite Abschnitt des Buches trägt den Titel 'Methods of Editing Byzantine Inscriptions': Während der Beitrag Peter Schreiners die dringende Notwendigkeit einer neuen epigraphischen Initiative innerhalb der Byzantinistik betont, beschreibt Walter Koch detailliert die westlichen Inschriftenprojekte. Sowohl Guglielmo Cavallo als auch Erkki Sironen diskutieren Editionsrichtlinien, während Charlotte Roueché die Vorteile von Online-Corpora beschreibt. Joel Kalvesmaki stellt das kürzlich publizierte epigraphische Font 'Athena Ruby' vor. Der dritte Abschnitt umfasst Artikel, die über laufende epigraphische Projekte berichten: Zwei in Griechenland durchgeführte Projekte werden als Datenbank publiziert werden. Maria Xenaki diskutiert den epigraphischen Reichtum Kappadokiens und die kaum analysierten Graffiti. Der letzte Abschnitt ist Fallstudien gewidmet, deren Inhalt von der Spätantike (Sencer Şahin, Mustafa Sayar) bis in mittel- und spätbyzantinische Zeit reicht (Ida Toth, Linda Safran)."--

The valuation of multiple ecosystem services requires the design of valuation processes able to integrate different dimensions of value and to cope with complexity. Following the "value-articulating institution" framework, we note that three core problems arise: the cognitive, normative and composition problems. Combining valuation methods, such as contingent valuation and multicriteria analysis, with participatory and deliberative techniques is increasingly promoted as a means to address those fundamental problems. However, the quality and legitimacy of the valuation process then becomes dependent on how participation is framed. We note that numerous issues need to be taken into account, such as the roles assumed by participants, the differences in contribution among participants, the level of participatory impact and the level of democratization of the decision-making process. This paper proposes a detailed qualitative analysis of four case studies, each of them having implemented a specific valuation method in a participatory process. We analyze how those cases were handled in each of the dimensions considered and offer our conclusions about the added values and remaining challenges related to participatory environmental valuation.

Ce travail présente aux participants les zones de tension dans le travail social qui surgissent avec la mise en œuvre de la CRDPH (La Convention relative aux droits des personnes handicapées, 2006). Sur le plan conceptuel, on examinera si le concept central « l'inclusion » convient comme concept directeur pour le travail social. En ce qui concerne le Luxembourg, des exemples sont utilisés pour montrer à quel point le travail social avec les personnes handicapées est soumis à une politique sociale empreinte de néolibéralisme. Dans une approche prospective, les tendances d'une économisation, de la numérisation et de la prise en compte épigénétique des tâches du travail social sont discutées. Comment le travail social doit-il traiter cette problématique et s'y préparer ?
