Book Description
This book details how quantification can serve both as evidence and as an instrument of government, whether when dealing with statistics on employment, occupational health and economic governance, or when developing public management or target-driven policies. In the process, it presents a thought-provoking homage to Alain Desrosières, who pioneered ways to study large numbers and the politics underlying them. It opens with a summary of Desrosières's contributions to the field in which several generations of researchers detail how this statistician and historian profoundly influenced them. This tribute, based on personal testimonies, bears witness to the vitality of the school of thought and analytical framework Desrosières initiated. Next, a collection of essays explores the statistical argument in the neoliberal era, examining issues such as counting the homeless in Europe, measuring the performance of public services, and quantifying the effects of public action on the unemployed in France. The third part details the uses of quantification. It reveals that although statistics are frequently used to the advantage of those in power, they can also play a vital role in challenging and resisting both the conventions underlying the measurements as well as the measurements themselves.Featuring the work of economists, historians, political scientists, sociologists, and statisticians, this title provides readers with a thoughtful look at an influential figure in the history of statistics. It also shows how statistics are used to direct public policy, the degree of conflict that is possible in their production, and the disputes that can develop around their uses.

Estimation des projets de l'entreprise numérique : Approche systémique, coûts, qualité et délais
Author: PRINTZ Jacques
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2746288346
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Les projets informatiques sont désormais développés dans le cadre d’un système existant. Ils doivent, in fine, s’intégrer en interaction avec d’autres projets, sur les infrastructures communes de l’entreprise et sans interrompre le service : c’est la notion d’usine logicielle. Estimation des projets de l’entreprise numérique s’intéresse particulièrement à l’analyse des coûts d’intégration. Un modèle original d’estimation de ces coûts est proposé assurant l’équilibrage des quatre grandeurs fondamentales : coût, qualité, fonctionnalité et délai. Cet ouvrage bénéficie des travaux effectués par le groupe de travail Intégration & Complexité de l’association CESAMES, en relation avec la chaire X-ParisTech, ce qui a permis de valider le modèle avec les industriels participants. Il présente en détail le modèle COCOMO et dresse les grandes lignes de la méthode de comptage par points de fonctions. Une étude de cas basée sur les systèmes C4ISTAR illustre l’utilisation de ces méthodes dans un contexte de systèmes réels de grande complexité.

France and Germany in an Age of Crisis, 1900-1960
Author: H. Shamir
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900461866X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
France and Germany, two great powers in Europe and the world, had in many respects a similar fate in the first half of the twentieth century. Both nations knew war and defeat, social upheaval, grave economic crisis, as well as political turmoil, including major changes in their political regime. On the other hand, the two countries also faced some very different experiences in the course of their history in this period. Germany had the terrible experience of the Third Reich, while France shared with other powers the agonies of decolonisation. Here is a collection of twenty two studies, dealing with important aspects of the history of the two nations. The studies are grouped under seven headings and include topics like foreign policy in peace and war, domestic changes, the impact of ideologies, the colonical and Jewish aspects. Taken as a whole, these studies offer many new perceptions and insights to the history of France and Germany in the twentieth century.
