Migration, Mobility and Sojourning in Cross-cultural Films:
Interculturing Cinema draws on existing scholarship on global
movements and intercultural communication in cinema to analyze six
cross-cultural films. Ishani Mukherjee and Maggie Griffith Williams
locate key themes that tie into the complexity and implications of
global movements, including migrants' experiences of culture-shock,
cultural assimilation and/or integration, cultural identities in
transition, social mobility and movements, and the short-term
intercultural impact that sojourners experience in unfamiliar
cultural space. Mukherjee and Williams explore how intercultural
communication functions in the storytelling and in the formation of
character relationships in these films, arguing that the depictions
of migration, mobility, and the resulting intercultural
communications are complex and stressful moments of conflict that
lead to mixed results. Scholars of film studies, communication,
migrant studies, sociology, and cultural studies will find this
book particularly useful.
This Handbook represents a pioneering effort to consolidate the
state of knowledge on policy formulation. An invaluable resource
for scholars and students of policy studies, this Handbook provides
a set of analytical discussions that help scholars, students and
practitioners better understand the multiple dimensions of what
policy formulation has come to mean in contemporary public
policy-making and governance. In attempting to resolve pressing
public problems, governments devise, deploy and develop policy
tools in many different ways in different sectors and
jurisdictions. Knowledge of these processes has been fragmented,
however, spanning a multitude of different approaches, perspectives
and case studies. By critically and systematically analysing both
the processes and agents of policy formulation, this Handbook
provides the first comprehensive overview of the formulation
activities that are undertaken by governments in order to match
their policy goals with the means of achieving them. The Handbook
unites a wide range of expert contributors who examine the roles
played by policy actors, institutions and ideas in answering
fundamental questions about policy formulation such as who
undertakes it, how, when, where and why. Through seven thematic
sections this Handbook discusses a wide range of topics related to
formulation such as the nature of policy design, instrument choice,
policy appraisal, policy advice and the politics of defining and
resolving policy problems. Contributors include: C. Adelle, J.
Bandola-Gill, R. Burroughs, C. Eichbaum, M. Galizzi, A. Gunn, H.

Uniting theoretical bases and advancements in practice, the
Routledge Handbook of Policy Design brings together leading experts
in the academic field of policy design in a pioneering effort of
scholarship. Each chapter provides a multi-topic overview of the
state of knowledge on how, why, where or when policies are designed
and how such designs can be improved. These experts address how a
new emphasis on effective policy design has re-emerged in public
policy studies in recent years and clarify the role of historical
policy decisions, policy capacities and government intentions in
promoting a design orientation towards policy formulation and
policy-making more generally. They examine many previously
unexplored aspects of policy designs and designing activities,
which focus upon analyzing and improving the sets of policy tools
adopted by governments to correct policy problems. Ranging from the
fundamentals of policy design and its place in greater policy
studies, to new questions regarding policy design content and
effectiveness, to contemporary design trends such as the use of
digital tools and big data, the Routledge Handbook of Policy Design
is a comprehensive reference for students and scholars of public
policy, public administration and public management, government and
business.

The field of policy studies has always been interested in analyzing
and improving the sets of policy tools adopted by governments to
correct policy problems, and better understanding and improving
processes of policy analysis and policy formulation in order to do
so. Past studies have helped clarify the role of historical
processes, policy capacities and design intentions in affecting
policy formulation processes, and more recently in understanding
how the bundling of multiple policy elements together to meet
policy goals can be better understood and done. While this work has
progressed, however, the discussion of what goals policy designs
should serve remains disjointed. Here it is argued that a central
goal, in fact, 'the' central goal, of policy design is
effectiveness. Effectiveness serves as the basic goal of any
design, upon which is built other goals such as efficiency or
equity.
