Two main issues dominate the debates surrounding the Pacific region today: prosperity and peace. Why have parts of the Asian/Pacific side grown so quickly while other parts of the Pacific, much of Latin America, Africa and other areas have not? How have these changes altered the international system of security? This volume, part of the series "The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science", offers an in-depth examination of these debates, as well as providing a better understanding of the changes taking place within the region and giving rise to new ways of integrating classic variables into arguments that permit deeper analysis.

Do Networks Help People to Manage Poverty? Perspectives from the Field
Häftad, Engelska, 2021
620 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
One’s ability to manage the trials of poverty depends on their networks—the relationships, support, information, and resources they cultivate from them. Social ties come with obligations; whether networks ultimately help or hinder those living in poverty remains in question. This volume of The ANNALS examines the uncertain role of network systems in the context of low-income populations in the 21st century. Applying new fieldwork from subject experts across the globe, this volume highlights networks and the complex relationships that shape them, the local organizations that foster them, and the policy changes needed to bolster their value in times of economic distress.

As the number of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers across the globe has grown, intense debate has emerged about how long and how well these groups integrate into host countries. This integration is complex, and most prior studies have captured only parts of the process. This volume of The ANNALS sheds light on this complexity, collating studies on different forms of integration and highlighting the ways in which local policies and institutions can enhance integration outcomes. Considering the varied integration timelines of refugee and immigrant groups, this volume bolsters our understanding of the lived experiences of those seeking refuge and illuminates the role that local action can play in successful integration.

Tillfälligt slut
For the past two decades, state and federal governments have seen a significant increase in evidence-based policymaking, which has allowed them to develop effective programs and improve existing ones. The field of evidence-based policy comprises several subdivisions, representing distinct approaches to generating and using evidence. While there is still a ways to go before the field proves consistent in improving the nation’s policies, the research presented here shows that the field is not to be overlooked, and can have positive implications for the future of policy in our nation.This volume of The ANNALS provides a survey of the field of evidence-based practices and policymaking through papers written by the some of its most notable practitioners, including two U.S. senators and one of the original developers and implementers of the Pay for Success program model. The research in this volume provides a unique overview of the field of evidence-based policy, and demonstrates the benefits of this approach to policy-makers and the public alike.
