Abstract

Was ist Beratung und wie funktioniert sie? Adrian Steiner gibt Antwort auf diese Fragen, indem er die formalen und funktionalen Merkmale einer idealtypischen Beratung festhält und dadurch den Blick auf die Qualität realer Beratungen ermöglicht. Wie beratend ist die Beratungspraxis tatsächlich? Diese Frage wird am Beispiel der Politikberatung ausführlich diskutiert. »Beratung« erweist sich als hochgradig neurotischer Begriff, der den fundamentalen Konflikt zwischen Anspruch (Reflexion) und Realität (Legitimation) widerspiegelt. Besprochen in: politik&kommunikation, 11 (2009) Die öffentliche Verwaltung, 12/6 (2010), Peter Nagel

Abstract

Dieses Buch analysiert die Praxis der wissenschaftlichen Politikberatung mit den Mitteln der Theorie der Interaktionssysteme und der Professionssoziologie. Dazu wird das beratende Handeln als soziale Beziehung gefasst, die sich als ein professionalisierungsbedürftiges Arbeitsbündnis darstellt. Die Studie macht zum einen die strukturellen Probleme dieser Praxis deutlich und zeigt zum anderen, wie mit diesen Schwierigkeiten umgegangen werden kann, so dass die wissenschaftliche Beratung erfolgreich verläuft. Sie trägt zur Klärung des Beratungs-Begriffs ebenso bei wie zu einem besseren Verständnis der Praxis wissenschaftlicher Politikberatung. »[Die Studie bietet] eine ganze Reihe von (teilweise gut versteckten) Anregungen für die konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung von Beratungsforschung, auf die gerade auch die Politikwissenschaft nicht verzichten sollte.« Thomas Krumm, Politische Vierteljahresschrift, 51/3 (2010)

Abstract

"In this history of the social and human sciences in twentieth-century Mexico and the United States, Karin Alejandra Rosemblatt reveals the intricate connections among the development of science, the concept of race in North America, and policy toward indigenous peoples. Her focus is on the anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, physicians, and other experts who collaborated across borders in the midst of the Mexican Revolution through World War II, a period that saw a dynamic academic growth on both sides of the Rio Grande. Rosemblatt traces how these intellectuals forged shared networks in which they discussed indigenous peoples and other ethnic minorities, refashioning race as a scientific category and consolidating their influence within their respective national policy circles"--

Abstract

If a key aspect of diplomacy is how countries are seen abroad, official diplomats are not the only actors. In contexts as diverse as Syria, Myanmar and the South China Sea, think tanks are influential actors whose impact deserves greater study. As organisations producing independent intellectual outputs to influence public policy, think tanks engage in at least four diplomatic functions: negotiation, communication, information-gathering and promoting friendly relations in international affairs. Detailed case studies show that think tanks both directly perform and indirectly support diplomatic functions: as metaphorical hired guns, charm offensive, witnesses and safe space; as a school for diplomats, personal trainers, chief knowledge officer and wise counsel. To reach their full potential, think tanks need to overcome obstacles including resource constraints and relationships with policymakers.

Abstract

Many Western countries have seen an increase in the volume and importance of external consultants in the public policy process. This book is the first to investigate this phenomenon in a comparative and interdisciplinary way. The analysis shows who these consultants are, how widely and for what reasons they are used in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, The Netherlands and Sweden. In doing so, the book addresses the positive and negative implications of high levels of external policy consultancy, including its implications for the nature of the state (transforming into a contractor state?) and for democratically legitimized and accountable decision-making (transforming into consultocracy?). It provides valuable new insights for students and practitioners in the fields of public administration, public policy, public management, political science and human resource management.
