Promoting social cohesion – Implications for polic y and evaluation
Autor Ines Newmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 mai 2011
This book makes a forthright case for a shift in policy focus from 'community cohesion' to the broader notion of social cohesion, and is distinctive and innovative in its focus on evaluation. It constitutes an extremely valuable source both for practitioners involved in social cohesion interventions and for researchers and students studying theory-based evaluation and the policy areas highlighted (housing, intergenerational issues, the recession, education, communications, community development).

Recenzii
This well edited book makes a crucial contribution to the field of cohesion studies. It offers a complex and convincing critique of community cohesion policy and paradigms. It argues that the underpinning elements of social cohesion are an essential prerequisite for better relationships. The book's detailed coverage of the principles and practice of evaluation provides a wealth of indispensable material for policy makers, practitioners and academics alike. Essential reading. John Flint, Professor of Housing and Urban Governance, Centre for Regional and Economic Research, Sheffield Hallam University
An original approach to an important and timely issue. A great array of contributors provide an essential guide to evaluating the implementation of government measures. Angela Mason, Deputy Leader, London Borough of Camden
