Cartelization process in institutionalized environments: legitimation and political communication
2017
International audience; The main objective of this paper is to analyze cartel party tendencies toward professionalization of communicative institutional processes (Mair, 015).The main role of the media in a audience democracy is indisputable (Manin, 1998). So the media politics are one of the main features of public space. In this way, Political parties have become platforms of placement of their leaders to occupy the largest number of institutional positions. Consequently, this phenomenon has spread as a common practice of our political system. The emergence of partisan elite, which has professionalized itself in high political-institutional positions, has colonized the leadership of publi…
Production of Cultural Policy in Russia: Authority and Intellectual Leadership
2020
The paper discusses different frameworks of knowledge production within the discourses and practices of Russian cultural policy. Russian cultural policy as an administrative sector has been developed in line with two distinctive governmental regimes, more precisely during the period of liberal decentralisation of the 1990s and the conservative centralisation from 2011 up until today. The study focuses on the main changes that have occurred in the framework of policy design and participation in policy-making. An attempt is made to combine Foucauldian analytical frameworks of power and discourse with a Gramscian hegemonic approach to political studies that was mainly advocated by the Essex sc…
La Cappella Reale di Palermo all’incrocio tra fede e potere. Musica, cerimonia e musicisti durante il viceregno spagnolo (secc. XVII-XVIII)
2021
Il contributo intende considerare il rapporto tra musica e potere attraverso una delle più importanti istituzioni del vicereame spagnolo nella penisola italiana, la Cappella Reale di San Pietro, comunemente nota come Cappella Palatina. La partecipazione alle grandi cerimonie di stato di Sei e Settecento, in particolare funerali e autodafé, sottolinea il ruolo dei musicisti della Palatina nel consolidare l’immagine del viceré e dell’identità regia in un contesto geograficamente lontano. Studi recenti hanno peraltro confermato che nelle istituzioni ecclesiastiche erano proprio gli esecutori della Cappella Reale a essere ingaggiati per suonare e cantare. Una più attenta ricostruzione dell’atti…
Why adopt ISO 9001 certification in hospitals? A case study of external triggers and sensemaking in an emergency department in Norway
2017
Abstract Background Certification and accreditation are widely used to achieve quality and safety in health care but are also questioned regarding their assumed effects. This is a challenge for policymakers and managers, since adoption of these regimes can have a circumstantial impact upon organizations. This study’s aim was to explore how external conditions catalyzed and triggered organizational change and internal sensemaking processes as part of an ISO 9001 certification process. Methods The study applied an explanatory single-case design, using a narrative approach, to retrospectively follow a sensemaking process in an emergency department in a Norwegian hospital undergoing ISO 9001 ce…
Management in China: Cultural, institutional roots and pragmatism. An inquiry in Shanghai
2015
We base our work on interviews of Chinese managers living in and around Shanghai. We use the neo-institutional theoretical stream, which considers that a country’s economy is influenced by cultural and institutional phenomena. In a first part, we describe the theoretical background to the research and our method. Then, in a second part, we present the significant cultural and institutional features of China that enable us to justify several hypotheses about our topic. In a third part, we analyze eight in-depth interviews, trying to answer our research question. Our basic research question focuses on what “Performance” means for Chinese managers. Behind the word, we analyze the cultural and …
Jubileusz 25-lecia Muzeum Diecezjalnego w Opolu
2013
Across the ages the Church has been concerned with the cultural heritage of its members. The mid-eighteenth century witnessed discernible interest in religious objects excluded from the cult and emphasis was placed on the evangelisation role of church museums, which, interested in the fate of useless artworks removed from church interiors, collected, stored, and conserved them as well as rendered them available to society. The anniversary of the Diocesan Museum in Opole became an excellent occasion for taking a closer look at its history and assess the part it played in the course of the past quarter of a century. The idea of establishing such a museum dates back to 1978 – the year when Alf…
Transparency in two municipalities of great population of the Valencian Community: between mimetic isomorphism and the generation of legitimity
2020
Este trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo fundamental la realización de un análisis sobre los elementos que han justificado la calidad de los procesos de asunción de la transparencia en los ayuntamientos de Alicante y València (2008-2017). En concreto, se partirá del neo-institucionalismo sociológico y de los índices de Transparencia Internacional para caracterizar esta herramienta de buen gobierno y la importancia relativa en ambos ayuntamientos. Entre algunos de los resultados preliminares que hemos obtenido, podemos destacar tanto el papel isomórfico de la legislación como la necesidad de mejorar la reputación de las instituciones estudiadas para implementar dichas políticas. The…
The Paradox of Effectiveness: Growth, Institutionalisation and Evaluation of Anti-Mafia Policies in Italy
2004
This contribution focuses on Italian policies that have been envisaged and implemented to combat, prevent or contain mafia-type organised crime.1 After having shown that a proper analysis of anti-mafia policies is strangely lacking (section 2), policies directly addressing the mafia are dealt with, hinting at the norms concerning specific criminal offences, vast investigatory powers and penetrating preventive measures, financial transactions and money laundering, collaborators of justice, the peculiarity of mafia trials, judicial attitudes and sanctions (section 3.1). Section 3.2 presents the wide variety of other policies addressing civil society and public administrations, and only indire…
Local State-Society Relations in Romania
2020
The chapter on Romania illustrates the working of networks of local state-society relations in a top-down context where the central government mandates the creation of networks and local governments are supposed to initiate and operationalize them. The chapter discusses two collaborative networks—local action groups and community consultative structures for child protection—and two self-reflective networks—local working groups on Roma issues and consultative committees on youth issues. The networks analyzed vary in terms of policy field coverage (broader vs. narrower field of activity), territorial coverage (single vs. multiple municipalities), and perceived stability in time. The analysis …
Les commissions coloniales rattachées au Comité des Travaux historiques et scientifiques
2000
The colonial Commissions connected to the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques. In the late nineteenth century, the Comité des travaux historiques et scientifiques became a bigger and bigger research organization, always closely linked to the successive political governments. With each new French conquest, a commission of parisian scientists and local correspondents was created and attached to it, as in 1864, the scientific commission for Mexico, in 1884, the commission for Tunisia, in 1908, the archeological commission for Indochina. The example studied here is that of the commssion for Tunisia, which coordonated researches in archeology and epigraphy in North Africa, thanks to …
