Bøger af Bent (Aalborg University Flyvbjerg

A fascinating account of how promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order to get projects approved and built. The authors not only explore problems but also suggest practical solutions drawing on theory and evidence from the hundreds of projects studied.

Making Social Science Matter presents an exciting new approach to social and behavioral science, including theoretical argument, methodological guidelines, and practical examples. Bent Flyvbjerg shows why social science fails to emulate natural science. He then identifies the strength of social science in its rich, reflexive analysis of values and power.
