Promoting Social Cohesion: Implications for Policy and Evaluation

Edited by WBS Principal Research Fellow Ines Newman and Peter Ratcliffe, Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick, this book is published by Policy Press.

This book makes a forthright case for a shift in policy focus from 'community cohesion' to the broader notion of social cohesion, and is distinctive and innovative in its focus on evaluation. It constitutes an extremely valuable source both for practitioners involved in social cohesion interventions and for researchers and students studying theory-based evaluation and the policy areas highlighted (housing, intergenerational issues, the recession, education, communications, and community development).
