Think Tanks in the US and EU The Role of Policy Institutes in Washington and Brussels

Think Tanks in the US and EU The Role of Policy Institutes in Washington and Brussels

Why do US and EU think tanks diverge in their roles priorities and main constituencies? Providing the first substantive analytical comparison of think tanks in Washington and Brussels this book explores the differences that exist and why they developed. Two principal variables are identified – institutional credibility and political culture – as a measure of comparison between the two think tank models. Supranational think tanks have an inherent credibility with the institutions of the EU which allows them to direct their resources and efforts to activities and outputs where they hold a comparative advantage. US think tanks lack such institutional recognition and so need to prove their credibility to their main constituencies. The result is that an adversarial and individualistic political culture has informed the norms and activities of Washington think tanks while the consensus-driven and collectivist political culture of Europe has influenced supranational think tanks. Think tanks are far from newcomers to the public policy scene but our broader understanding of their role structure and how they assess their own achievements is not yet fully developed. By providing a framework within which to analyse this this book will be of interest to academics students and policy experts working within public policy comparative politics and political science more generally. | Think Tanks in the US and EU The Role of Policy Institutes in Washington and Brussels

Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

This revised edition of Exercises in Architecture: Learning to Think as an Architect is full of new content building on the success of the previous edition. All the original exercises have been revised and new ones added with the format changing to allow the inclusion of more supplementary material. The aim remains the same to help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability to think as architects. Learning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand to walk to sit to hide to sleep to cook to eat to work to play to worship… This book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book Analysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making (fifth edition 2021) and demonstrated in his Twenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge 2015). Together the three books deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. Analysing Architecture provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. Twenty-Five Buildings explores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. Exercises in Architecture offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises. Those who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help. | Exercises in Architecture Learning to Think as an Architect

Archaeology for Today and Tomorrow

Archaeology for Today and Tomorrow

Archaeology for Today and Tomorrow explores how cutting-edge archaeological theories have implications not only for how we study the past but also how we think about and prepare for the future. Ranging from how we understand migration or political leadership to how we think about violence or ecological crisis the book argues that archaeology should embrace a “future-oriented” attitude. Behind the traditional archaeological gaze on the past is a unique and useful collection of skills tools and orientations for rethinking the present and future. Further it asserts that archaeological theory is not only vital for how we conduct our work as archaeologists and how we create narratives about the past but also for how we think about the broader world in the present and crucially how we envision and shape the future. Each of the chapters in the book links theoretical approaches and global archaeological case studies to a specific contemporary issue. It examines such issues as human movement violence human and non-human relations the Anthropocene and fake news to showcase the critical contributions that archaeology and archaeological theory can make to shaping the world of tomorrow. An ideal book for courses on archaeology in the modern world and public archaeology it will also appeal to archaeology students and researchers in general and all those in related disciplines interested in areas of critical contemporary concern.
