The role of think tanks in American politics has been increasingly subjected to systematic analysis over the last 10-15 years. In this article I review some of this literature, focusing mainly on the questions of what think tanks are, why this phenomenon is so strongly associated with the US, & what influence think tanks have on US policy-making. Think tanks comprise a wide range of organizations, from pure research institutions to the ideologically-based "advocacy think tanks" characterized by their combination of a strong political agenda & aggressive marketing techniques. The American political system has several features that allow think tanks access to the decision-making process, such as a fragmented structure with a weak party system, a central role for the mass media, & an issue-dominated political agenda. There is no good measure of the general influence of think tanks in US politics, but case studies indicate that the central role of the ideologically-based advocacy think tanks may serve to undermine the role of experts in American politics in the long term.

The article addresses the problem of welfare gaps in Europe in the context of the planned enlargement of the EU & NATO. In the beginning of 1990s one of the greatest challenges facing the West was the possibility of uncontrolled mass migration from the former Soviet bloc. The Western institutions, the EU & NATO, could meet this challenge by introducing restrictions on the movement of people, but they decided to embark on what could be termed a policy of "institutional migration." They both decided to go east & at the same time formulated clear entry criteria for those who wanted to join them. After a decade of difficult negotiations, Europe will take the next step on 1 May 2004 when 10 new countries will join the European integration project as new members. However, there are some signs that this enlargement can result in the creation of not a united but a more divided Europe, where the principle of solidarity may become a victim of short-sighted political games. The introduction of restrictions on the access to the common labor market to the citizens of the new member states is an unfortunate symbolic signal sent by the old members of the EU & may herald the creation of a Europe of two speeds, a development that may have far-reaching consequences for the future of the whole European integration project that for more than 50 years has secured peace on the continent. 2 Tables, 10 References.

This book presents wide-ranging video research in pedagogical contexts that have previously received little notice. Video research is, and can be employed for, so much more that standing in a classroom and filming with a camera. That is what we hope to achieve with this book – to demonstrate the inherent flexibility in video, that it can serve as one tool among many and be utilized in a variety of settings in several different ways. We want to emphasize the fact that you don't need a professional lab with lots of equipment to do quality video research. All you need is a camera, a microphone, and a good plan for what you can, and cannot, capture in your project.

Video Research in Educational Settings: Diverse Video Data in Pedagogical Research and Development is written primarily for other researchers, including those who are just beginning their research activities (such as master students and PhD candidates) and are interested in discovering how flexible, applicable and creative data collection can be with the help of video, and how rich the data material one obtains can be. The chapters represent a broad cross-disciplinary approach, yet with one common denominator: the use of video in different educational arenas, not only for data collection, but also for stimulating reflection, learning and greater expertise. - Denne boken presenterer en bredde i videoforskning innen pedagogiske kontekster som tidligere ikke har fått så stor oppmerksomhet. Med andre ord, videoforskning er, og kan brukes til, så mye mer enn å bare stå i et klasserom og filme med et kamera. Det er det vi ønsker å gjøre med denne boka – vise fleksibiliteten i bruk av video og hvordan video er ett verktøy blant mange, men som kan brukes til flere ulike problemstillinger og på flere ulike måter. Vi ønsker å løfte frem det aspektet at du ikke trenger en stor videolabb med en masse utstyr for å få til god videoforskning. Du klarer deg med et kamera, en mikrofon og en god plan for hva du kan og ikke kan fange opp i ditt prosjekt.

Videoforskning på ulike læringsarenaer: Mangfoldig videodata i pedagogisk forskning og utvikling er primært for andre forskere, men også andre som er på vei inn i forskningsaktivitet, eksempelvis masterstudenter eller ph.d.-kandidater som er interessert i å oppdage hvor fleksibel, brukbar og kreativ datainnsamling med hjelp av video kan være, og hvor rikt datamateriale man kan skaffe seg. Boka presenterer en bred tverrfaglighet, men som uansett har en felles nevner: bruk av video på forskjellige læringsarenaer, både for å samle inn data til forskning og for å stimulere til refleksjon, læring i utdanning eller kompetanseutvikling.
