Politiche d'immigrazione e politiche per gli immigrati: il caso della città di Palermo
2015
Il lavoro riguarda la concezione e l’evoluzione delle politiche pubbliche in materia di immigrazione che gli enti locali della città di Palermo hanno messo in campo a partire dai primi anni Novanta del Novecento sino al 2013. In particolare, la ricerca si focalizza su tre aspetti, la dimensione cognitiva, quella organizzativa e la dimensione della governance, per individuare la relazione tra i discorsi pubblici relativi alla migrazione (sia in riferimento a coloro che si trovano sul territorio nazionale con uno status giuridico definito sia per coloro che non lo hanno) e le scelte politiche messe in atto. La ricerca si colloca all’interno di un recente filone di studi nel campo dell’evoluzi…
España inacabada. Organización territorial del Estado, autonomía política y reconocimiento de la diversidad nacional
2021
S’han complert més de tres dècades de vigència de la Constitució de 1978 i, per tant, ja es disposa de prou perspectiva per analitzar el grau d’eficàcia d’un model d’Estat, per alguns, gairebé federal i, per a uns altres, senzillament molt descentralitzat. D’altra banda, a Espanya segueix plenament obert el debat sobre Espanya. Sigui quina sigui l’opinió, la veritat és que el nostre antic problema consumeix una gran part de les energies col·lectives, condiciona àmpliament l’agenda política, genera notables tensions socials i projecta ombres d’incertesa respecte al futur. En aquest treball, s’hi presenta un balanç de les dues qüestions. Després d’oferir un resum breu del procés de construcci…

Corporate Governance in Scandinavia
2008
This article addresses the role of formal institutions and informal networks on corporate governance practices. The existing corporate governance literature has mostly examined the formal institutions, such as the effect of legal systems. Our contribution is to consider the effect of informal “small world” characteristics of ownership and board networks. We use the case of Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) to examine these effects. Our empirical results reveal large differences in formal board and ownership structures between the Scandinavian countries, but strong similarities in terms of law enforcement, political stability, government effectiveness, rule of law, control of corrupti…
Māwardī and Machiavelli : Reflections on Power in their Mirrors for Princes
2018
Abstract Despite their apparently contradictory views on religion’s role in statecraft, and despite being separated by both history and geography, Al-Mawardi and Machiavelli approach the question of political power in an unapologetically direct fashion. This paper interrogates their philosophies and the way in which their highly unstable social settings and their rather more stable religious traditions intersect in two of their key texts, The Ordinances of Government and The Prince, respectively. These texts demonstrate that even early Muslim tradition had a theory of impersonal governance, whereas 500 years later Europeans had by no means given up on narratives of personified power.

Balancing Roles of Representation in the European Commission
2008
Representation is one essential dimension of executive governance. This article has a dual ambition: The first is to outline an institutional perspective on representation that may explore and explain the everyday balancing act of representation among government officials. The second ambition is to empirically illuminate dynamics of representation among crucial test-bed inside the European Commission, that of temporary officials. Temporary Commission officials offer a valuable laboratory for exploring the fine balancing act of representation. Based on survey and interview data on temporary Commission officials, this study supports an institutional perspective on representation in two ways. …
Benefits Realization in eGovernment: Institutional Entrepreneurship or Just Hype?
2013
As development practices of eGovernment gradually mature, there appears to be an increasing focus on documentation of innovation processes and documentation of realized benefits. Although research on benefits realization provides some guidance to these issues, there is a lack of empirical research to validate central tenets in the literature and to provide the level of detail necessary to understand the impact benefits realization practices can have on organizations. To address these issues, we carried out an in-depth longitudinal case study of a large-scale benefits realization effort in Norway. Institutional theory was used to analyze the organizational impact. Our findings show that the …
