Business of Research – Issues of Policy and Pratice: Broadening Perspectives in Social Policy

This collection breaks new ground in its offer of frank commentary on aspects of the research process - as supplied by experienced academics together with a senior representative of one key funding agency - based on first-hand experience and observation of the management of social science projects from within Britain/the EU.

The collection is also conspicuous for the variety of research projects covered. Most contributors are reporting with reference to a particular "case-study" experience. But these range from the most localised to the most multi-national; from the most specialised to the most multi-disciplinary undertakings.
