The Journal of Cultural Economics is published in cooperation with The Association for Cultural Economics. It applies economic analysis to all of the creative and performing arts and the heritage and cultural industries, whether publicly or privately funded.

Furthermore, the journal explores the economic organization of the cultural sector and the behavior of producers, consumers, and governments within the cultural sector. Readers will find original papers dealing with the theoretical development of cultural economics as a subject, the application of economic analysis and econometrics to the field of culture, and the economic aspects of cultural policy.

In addition to full-length papers, the journal offers short papers and book reviews.

Development Gateway. Electronic Journals, University of Sydney Library. Humanities Data. When the Initiative for Humanities and Culture was organized in 1998, the Academy recognized that the humanities are the only disciplines that lack reliable, comprehensive, and consistently updated statistical data necessary to chart trends and draw conclusions.

To address this need, the Academy began working closely with major humanities institutions, including the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Humanities Alliance, to develop an infrastructure for the compilation, analysis and publication of comprehensive trend data about the humanities. The Humanities Indicators is a result of this work and is modeled after the Science and Engineering Indicators published biennially by the National Science Board. In addition, the Indicators include original data collected by the Academy in collaboration with several learned societies via the Humanities Departmental Survey. Taylor & Francis Journals: Welcome. Topic Guides. Conflict Conflict is inherent in all societies and arises when two or more groups believe their interests are incompatible. ‘Conflict’ is not, however, interchangeable with ‘violence’. Non-violent resolution is possible when individuals and groups have trust in their governing structures, society and institutions to manage incompatible interests.

Conflict becomes a problem when this trust and respective conflict management capacities are absent and conflicting parties choose instead to resort to the use of force to secure their goals.

Good design has five components: 1. Clear statements of measurable objectives for the project and its components, for which indicators can be defined. 2.

A structured set of indicators, covering outputs of goods and services generated by the project and their impact on beneficiaries. 3. Provisions for collecting data and managing project records so that the data required for indicators are compatible with existing statistics, and are available at reasonable cost. 4. Examples 1. Projects are designed to further long-term sectoral goals, but their immediate objectives, at least, should be readily measurable. 2. Input indicators are quantified and time-bound statements of resources to be provided. Process indicators measure what happens during implementation. Impact refers to medium or long-term developmental change. 3. Data collection Project field records. Publications - ESRC Research Seminar Series: Emergent Publics. Home.

Prevention of Organized Youth Violence In the field of youth, youth violence has become an important question in the light of the magnitude that the phenomenon has gained over the past decade in Latin America. Traditional policies, often repressive, have largely proved to be ineffective to combat this kind of violence. Moreover, rehabilitation while necessary has prove to be an expensive approach and sometimes inefficient. This is why UNESCO emphasizes a preventive approach that considers both: youth as victims and as perpetrators of violence.

In this context, the module “youth and prevention of youth organized violence in Latin America" of the MOST tool in its mission to promote civic engagement of youth by developing their sociopolitical capacities in terms of human rights, seeks to provide research findings and experience on practical implementation of integrated policies and actions to prevent violence.
