Sommario/riassunto |
|
""Participation in the Münstersche Vorlesungen zur Philosophie 2005 was an honor and a genuine intellectual pleasure for me. The |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
symposium, with all its contributions by the Münster faculty and students, was a wonderfully valuable experience. I can hardly do justice to its spirit of free discussion, or adequately express my thanks, by these short replies. But I think that they will testify clearly to the stimulation the symposium provided and to how much I learned from this exchange."" Bas van Fraassen |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Au seuil de l'ouvrage, Monica Charlot accueille le lecteur avec cette |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
photo et ce sourire si fidèles à l'image que nous gardons d'elle. Celle d'une spécialiste de renom international, qui a consacré aux institutions politiques du Royaume-Uni l'essentiel de sa recherche et de son enseignement. Aussi est-ce le thème qu'ont choisi certains de ses collègues et amis de l'Institut du Monde Anglophone, à l'université Sorbonne nouvelle - Paris 3, pour lui rendre hommage dans cet ouvrage dédié à sa mémoire. Les contributions qui composent l'ouvrage s'inscrivent dans la diachronie, entre une ouverture consacrée à l'évolution de l'histoire politique et un épilogue, réflexion sur « l'art de la recherche créative ». Entre les deux sont évoqués le système électoral de l'Angleterre des Lumières vu par un caricaturiste, l'époque victorienne de Sherlock Holmes, la politique étrangère telle qu'elle est perçue par les journalistes de guerre, mais aussi le comportement des électeurs britanniques d'aujourd'hui, la formation des infirmières au début du XXe siècle, le problème actuel du logement dans le Grand Londres ou la politique britannique en matière de forêts et de reboisement à l'heure de l'écologie et du développement durable. Reflets des multiples facettes de ce que fut l'œuvre de Monica Charlot, ces articles sont un témoignage de reconnaissance, d'estime et d'amitié. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Recent trends in federal policies for social and economic programs have increased the demand for timely, accurate estimates of income |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and poverty for states, counties, and even smaller areas. Every year more than $130 billion in federal funds is allocated to states and localities through formulas that use such estimates. These funds support a wide range of programs that include child care, community development, education, job training, nutrition, and public health. A new program of the U.S. Census Bureau is now providing more timely estimates for these programs than those from the decennial census, which have been used for many years. These new estimates are being used to allocate more than $7 billion annually to school districts, through the Title I program that supports educationally disadvantaged children. But are these estimates as accurate as possible given the available data? How can the statistical models and data that are used to develop the estimates be improved? What should policy makers consider in selecting particular estimates? This new book from the National Research Council provides guidance for improving the Census Bureau's program and for policy makers who use such estimates for allocating funds. |
