The dialogue was structured to focus primarily on one country's experience, the United Kingdom; in a sense, taking it as a case study, a means of looking at various issues to generate a better understanding of what has worked and what has not and why. In content, the dialogue moved sequentially from the general issues to policies,management and infrastructures at country level to specific mechanisms and day to day realities and to future possibilities. In the course of following this sequence, the issues of dependence, independence or interdependence between policy makers and researchers, the question of ownership, control and accountability, and influences on the process of translating research results into policies and practice were all exposed.
The objective of the making macro social analysis work for policy dialogue conference was to contribute to the coordination of different macro-level social analysis approaches and to identify entry points for future collaboration on the mainstreaming of macro social and political analysis within the donor community. The conference brought together donor agencies, development practitioners, government representatives, and scholars to discuss the scope of donor experiences with macro social and political analysis and to find ways to improve the quality and impact of this work on policy dialogue, as well as program design and implementation. As an inter-agency forum, the event also provided a platform from which to collect critical feedback on the World Bank's country social analysis framework and approach-a comprehensive tool for assessing social and political country context.
This book builds on the success of the First International Conference on Facts and Evidence: A Dialogue between Law and Philosophy (Shanghai, China, May 2016), which was co-hosted by the Collaborative Innovation Center of Judicial Civilization (CICJC) and East China Normal University. The Second International Conference on Facts and Evidence: A Dialogue between Law and History was jointly organized by the CICJC, the Institute of Evidence Law and Forensic Science (ELFS) at China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), and Peking University School of Transnational Law (STL) in Shenzhen, China, on November 16–17, 2019. Historians, legal scholars and legal practitioners share the same interest in ascertaining the “truth” in their respective professional endeavors. It is generally recognized that any historical study without truthful narration of historical events is fiction and that any judicial trial without accurate fact-finding is a miscarriage of justice. In both historical research and the judicial process, practitioners are invariably called upon, before making any arguments, to prove the underlying facts using evidence, regardless of how the concept is defined or employed in different academic or practical contexts. Thus, historians and legal professionals have respectively developed theories and methodological tools to inform and explain the process of gathering evidentiary proof. When lawyers and judges reconsider the facts of cases, “questions of law” are actually a subset of “questions of fact,” and thus, the legal interpretation process also involves questions of “historical fact.” The book brings together more than twenty leading history and legal scholars from around the world to explore a range of issues concerning the role of facts as evidence in both disciplines. As such, the book is of enduring value to historians, legal scholars and everyone interested in truth-seeking.
