The services for people with addiction and mental health problems and have received increasing attention, both in the public debate, among users and professionals and not least from political authorities. There is political agreement on the importance of prioritizing the field, when at the same time there is disagreement on whether the services will actually be better by present-day reforms. In National Policies and Local Challenges, the authors explore the organization of services for people with addiction and mental health illness, from initiatives to improve the services at the level of national government to implementing changes in local service provision by municipalities. We discuss one of the most challenging questions in the modern welfare state: How should services be organized so that both users and service providers experience them as coordinated and integrated? The authors address these issues by referring to key features of national policy and change processes that can be observed in a selection of municipalities. The book also refers to analyses of experiences with various measures and services related to work, housing and prison care and correctional services. The anthology is based on a research project that studies the coordination and integration of services for people with complex addiction and mental disorders. The book is based on political science and organizational theoretical perspectives, and aims to provide insight into the usefulness of such perspectives in the analysis of welfare state's challenges when complex needs are addressed. The target group for the book is researchers, students and employees in local government - as well as practitioners who work with users with complex and complex needs. The book is edited by Catharina Bjørkquist, professor at Østfold University College, and Helge Ramsdal, professor emeritus at Østfold University College.

"Humanizing Encounters is about the sense of community that exists between persons with dementia. This book is the outcome of a year of ethnographic fieldwork at the specialized dementia care units of two different long-term nursing facilities. Through participatory observation in these units, the author discerned the various ways residents interacted, collaborated and expressed care for each other. The potential for fellowship among residents of dementia care facilities is explored primarily through fieldwork, phenomenological perspectives and spatial theory. It suggests that persons with dementia experience a greater sense of community than previous research has recognized. Thus the book contributes to a widening of the relational focus in individually oriented caregiving practices to also include collaboration and relations between groups of people with dementia. Humanizing Encounters is a contribution to our evolving understanding of the development of community within the dementia care units of skilled nursing homes. It will be relevant to all those who work with and on behalf of people with dementia, as well as those with an interest in this area from a humanistic perspective." "Menneskelige(re) møter handler om fellesskap blant mennesker med demens. Boken bygger på ett års etnografisk feltarbeid på to skjermede enheter i to forskjellige sykehjem. Gjennom deltakende observasjon i avdelingene avdekket Hillestad forskjellige måter beboerne agerte på, samhandlet og viste omsorg for hverandre. Mulige fellesskap blant beboerne utforskes med utgangspunkt i feltarbeidet, fenomenologiske perspektiver og romteori. Dette åpner for å se at personer med demens skaper mer fellesskap enn demensforskningen så langt har hatt full oppmerksomhet på. Boken bidrar slik til en utvidelse av det relasjonelle fokuset i personsentrert omsorgspraksis, til også å omhandle samhandling og relasjoner mellom grupper av mennesker med demens. Mennekelige(re) møter er et bidrag inn i en videre tenkning om utvikling av fellesskap i skjermede avdelinger på sykehjem. Den vil være relevant for alle som arbeider med og for mennesker med demens, og for alle som har interesse for fagfeltet i et humanistisk perspektiv."

Como ocorreu no Estado de São Paulo a expansão dos ginásios públicos no período da redemocratização? Como os Poderes Executivo e Legislativo estadual atuavam em torno dessa questão para responder às demandas da população da capital e dos demais municípios paulistas? Tais questões orientaram toda esta obra, cujos resultados indicam um notório processo de expansão das escolas ginasiais em um ritmo extraordinariamente acelerado, ocorrido de modo discrepante em diversos aspectos, uma vez que prevaleceram critérios políticos em detrimento de critérios educacionais. Temática de grande atualidade e interesse para estudantes, professores e pesquisadores da área da Educação, a questão da expansão das redes de ensino diz respeito diretamente à democratização e ampliação da cidadania. Nesse sentido, o conhecimento de natureza histórica, sobretudo no que tange à relação entre política e educação, pode contribuir sobremaneira para qualificar a discussão e subsidiar reflexões sobre a expansão da escolarização no país e, de igual maneira, problematizar a conjuntura educacional brasileira no presente.
