A decade ago, very few political scientists had either the opportunity or the incentive to engage with the political public in a direct, unmediated way. Today, there is a dense and eclectic ecosystem of political science and international relations-focused blogs and online publications, where good work can easily find an audience through social media. There are multiple initiatives dedicated to supporting academic interventions in the public sphere, and virtually every political or cultural magazine of note now offers a robust online section featuring commentary and analysis in which political scientists are well represented. This has transformed publication for a broader public from something exotic to something utterly routine. I discuss how these changes have affected individual scholars, the field of political science, and the political world with which we are engaged.

This seminar will reflect on how policy and art can work together to better understand human mobility in the context of climate change. It will discuss recent developments in the international governance of climate change related migration, and explore the role of art in raising awareness, creating a frame for dialogue and discussion, and activating change.

Public participation is ubiquitous in many contemporary democratic societies – used for many purposes, and in many contexts, with particular and growing relevance for policy-making on science and technology issues. However, there is a dearth of evidence as to its qualities and benefits. We contend that the implementation and interpretation of participation faces a number of dilemmas that – together –undermine its successful adoption. In this paper, we identify and discuss six specific dilemmas that – together – may militate against the practice and development of good quality participation in science and technology policy, notably dilemmas of Timing; of Relevance; of Representation; of Evaluation; of Criticism; and of Impact. We theoretically account for these dilemmas and discuss their likely impacts. Finally, we provide some suggestions as to how the participation community might attempt to pre-empt difficulties due to these dilemmas and demonstrate participation effectiveness.

This is the first major European political science book to discuss the growing interdisciplinary field of 'cultural theory', proposing a coherent and viable alternative to mainstream political science. The authors argue that three elements - social relations, cultural bias and behavioural strategy - illuminate political questions at a level of analysis on any scale: from the household to the state; the international regime to the political party.

"This textbook provides an introduction to cultural policy in the US, enabling both students and practitioners to understand how government impacts the arts and culture. Starting with an historical overview of why and how the US developed a national cultural policy, the book goes on to trace the contemporary system of national, state, and local arts and cultural agencies through which that policy is put into practice. Readers are provided both in-depth frameworks for conceptualizing how government regulation and provision shape the arts and culture and carefully illustrated examples of cultural policy in action. Covering critical issues in US cultural policy such as the Culture Wars, culture-led development and gentrification, and field-wide data and research capacities, the book builds a bridge between theory, practice, and politics in the arts and culture. This new edition includes enhanced visualizations and policy maps, expanded policy labs, and a new section on cultural policy during COVID-19. The result is a text that is essential reading for students and reflective practitioners of arts and cultural management and administration"--

The relevance of political science to public policy toward the elderly is demonstrated in a discussion of: (1) governmental institutions, eg, courts, executive agencies, legislatures, & electoral dynamics; (2) levels of government, eg, local, state, national, cross-national, & international; & (3) political theory & political science methodology. A political science orientation can be distinguished from those of the other social sciences by its emphasis on: (A) political feasibility, which involves making policy recommendations that are likely to be adopted or at least evaluating what the adoption likelihood is; (B) administrative feasibility, ie, whether policies can be administered without scandal or chaos; (C) goal values, eg, public participation, predictability, & procedural due process, which economists & other policy analysts sometimes slight; & (D) a concern for the relevance to policy problems of international relations, civil liberties, & reform of governmental institutions.
