Hardback. Condición: Like New. Chapter 2, 'Pay no attention to the model behind the curtain', Chapter 4, 'Mind the hubris: Complexity can misfire', and Chapter 8, ' Sensitivity auditing: A practical checklist for auditing decision-relevant models' are published open access and free to read or download from Oxford AcademicThe widespread use of mathematical models for policy-making and its social and political impact are at the core of this book. While the discussion of mathematical modelling generally centres around technical features, use, and type of model, the literature is increasingly acknowledging that the social nature of modelling, its biases and responsibilities, are equally worth investigating. This book tackles these emerging questions by adopting a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how current modelling practices address contemporary challenges, and fills a gap in the field, which has historically focused on statistical and algorithmic modes of producing numbers. Thanks to its multidisciplinary appeal, this book will be essential reading for modellers, public officials, policymakers, and scholars alike.Part of this title is published open access.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This study explores the dynamic relationship between science, numbers and politics. What can scientific evidence realistically do in and for politics The volume contributes to that debate by focusing on the role of 'numbers' as a means by which knowledge is expressed and through which that knowledge can be transferred into the political realm.Based on the assumption that numbers are constantly being actively created, translated, and used, and that they need to be interpreted in their respective and particular contexts, it examines how numbers and quantifications are made 'politically workable', examining their production, their transition into the sphere of politics and their eventual use therein. Key questions that are addressed include:In what ways does scientific evidence affect political decision-making in the contemporary world How and why did quantification come to play such an important role within democratic politics What kind of work do scientific evidenceand numbers do politically. …
