Applying Social Science: The Role of Social Research in Politics, Policy and Practice
Social research is certainly engaged in the construction of evidence, but it also plays a crucial role in a range of other governance processes. All of these processes - the construction of evidence, evaluation, consultation, modeling, and research as social action - are dealt with in this book, which includes an examination of their essential nature, a careful methodological discussion of their social scientific character, the presentation of real examples in practice, a critique of those examples, and a consideration of how good applied social research might be developed in the future.
