Summary:
In this book papers are presented in the same sequence in which they were delivered at the conference because the logic of the original program provided a sensible framework for the conference explorations. The material starts from the broad sweep of the the practical and conceptual challenges and moves to the methodological approaches to the state of current knowledge and empirical work to concluding reflections by the participants
