O livro recebeu MENÇÃO HONROSA na modalidade LIVRO AUTORAL do Prêmio ANPATQ 2022. No primeiro volume da Montagem de uma outra herança foi evocado o esboço de uma outra herança moderna, em particular no campo do urbanismo, como um caleidoscópio montado por fragmentos e ruínas. Evidenciou-se que uma herança, qualquer herança, é sempre uma construção, uma montagem. Dando continuidade a este sentido, o segundo volume faz apologia ao movimento, às viagens, ao nomadismo entendido como deslocamentos sucessivos de variações do tema, de tempos coexistentes, heterogêneos ou anacrônicos. Reivindica-se também outra herança “vencida”, mas ainda latente, nossa herança selvagem ou antropófaga, buscando mostrar que esta herança do pensamento em estado selvagem está diretamente relacionada com a outra herança moderna, crítica e impura, já explorada anteriormente.

In this open access volume, the editors identify the trajecto­ries and pat­terns displayed by education systems and investigate the causes of change from a global and historical perspective. The contributors argue that the emergence and de­velopment of educa­tion systems can be traced back to inherent national factors, as well as to the interna­tional diffusion of ideas. The research presented in this volume is a wide-ranging analysis and explana­tion of the dynamics of emergence, diffusion, and change in relation to state educa­tion systems. The chapters offer an empirical investigation into whether the global diffusion of West­ern-rational educational content and organizational forms occurs as expected by neoinstitu­tionalist theory, or whether culturally specific developmen­tal paths dominate in different parts of the world. The book will be of interest to students and researchers in various social science disci­plines, including social policy, education, sociology, political science, international relations, organizational the­ory, and economics.

The ePaper presents A Rise in Humanity, the opening lecture of the academic year 2021–2022 delivered by Felwine Sarr at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva. In his lecture, Mr Sarr explains how societies need to take ownership of their present and future, and proposes paths to reengage at a collective level in order to fill them with meaning. The lecture is preceded by a think piece in which Marie-Laure Salles, Director of the Graduate Institute, urges us to collectively work towards the re-enchanting of our humanity – the categorical imperative of our times. It is followed by an interview in which Felwine Sarr shares his thoughts with two young researchers on how to rethink the economy.

This Open Access book builds upon Science and Technology Studies (STS) and provides a detailed examination of how large-scale energy research projects have been conceived, and with what consequences for those involved in interdisciplinary research, which has been advocated as the zenith of research practice for many years, quite often in direct response to questions that cannot be answered (or even preliminarily investigated) by disciplines working separately. It produces fresh insights into the lived experiences and actual contents of interdisciplinarity, rather than simply commentating on how it is being explicitly advocated. We present empirical studies on large-scale energy research projects from the United Kingdom, Norway, and Finland. The book presents a new framework, the Sociology of Interdisciplinarity, which unpacks interdisciplinary research in practice. This book will be of interest to all those interested in well-functioning interdisciplinary research systems and the dynamics of doing interdisciplinarity, including real ground-level experiences and institutional interdependencies.

This open access edited volume introduces the concept of causal mechanisms to explore new ways of explaining the global dynamics of social policy, and shows that a mechanism-based approach provides several advantages over established approaches for studying social policy. The introductory chapter outlines the mechanism-based approach, which stands out by modularisation and a clear focus on actors. The mechanism-based approach then guides the twelve chapters on social policy developments in different Asian, African, European and Latin American countries. Based on these findings, the concluding chapter provides a structured compilation of causal mechanisms and outlines how a mechanism-based approach can further strengthen research on the global development of social policies, especially in a comparative perspective. The edited volume is highly relevant for social policy scholars from a variety of disciplines, as well as for scholars interested in strengthening explanation in the social sciences.
