{"product_id":"the-power-of-scientific-knowledge-reiner-grundmann-9781107022720","title":"The Power of Scientific Knowledge: From Research to Public Policy","description":"It is often said that knowledge is power, but more often than not relevant knowledge is not used when political decisions are made. This book examines how political decisions relate to scientific knowledge and what factors determine the success of scientific research in influencing policy. The authors take a comparative and historical perspective and refer to well-known theoretical frameworks, but the focus of the book is on three case studies: the discourse of racism, Keynesianism and climate change. These cases cover a number of countries and different time periods. In all three the authors see a close link between 'knowledge producers' and political decision makers, but show that the effectiveness of the policies varies dramatically. This book will be of interest to scientists, decision makers and scholars alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reiner Grundmann, Nico Stehr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110702272X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107022720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2013","brand":"Reiner Grundmann","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058223673599,"sku":"9781107022720","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b3317920-c4de-4b7a-9309-a0bbd5eb1390.jpg?v=1685051339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-power-of-scientific-knowledge-reiner-grundmann-9781107022720","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
