Public Policy in the Party City: The Spectacle of Culture, Gender, and Locality

Researchers: Chris Wharton , John Fenwick , and Hilary Fawcett Publisher: Routledge Documentation: International Journal of Public Administration The article explores the bidding process for the European Capital of Culture (ECOC) award, an aspect of local regeneration policy reliant upon a specific conception of culture. The process is examined in terms of changes in urban layout, manifestations of cultural and community identity, media representations, and the spectacle of culture, gender, and locality. The process is viewed as an urban managerialist project, driven by private and public sector elites in pursuit of economic rather than cultural goals. A narrow and particular view of culture was employed in the bidding process to achieve essentially managerial goals, and cut adrift from significant issues of gender, identity, and class. “Culture,” as conceived within the ECOC process, is viewed as a policy product of local government, regeneration partnerships, government agencies...

Differential Legacy Effects: Three Propositions on the Impact of Administrative Traditions on Public Administration Reform in Europea East and West

Researcher: Jan-Hinrik Meyer-Sahling , Kutsal Yeslkagit Publisher: Routledge Documentation: Journal of European Public Policy This article compares the status of historical legacies in explanations of administrative reform in Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe. It addresses the puzzle that legacy effects in both regions are associated with institutional resilience and persistence even though the administrative history in these two regions differs considerably. The article clarifies the terminological differences between legacies, legacy explanations, legacy effects and administrative traditions. It then identifies three differences between administrative traditions in Europe East and West and argues that these differences matter for a tradition’s reproductive capacity, i.e., the degree to which an administrative tradition can act as a persistence-breeding force for contemporary administrative developments. The differences between East and West are (1) the long-term sta...

Hak Destabilisasi dan Politik Rehabilitasi, Kebijakan dan Reaksi Politik terhadap UU Pelayanan Kesehatan Uni Eropa

Researchers: Scott L. Greer , Simone Rauscher Publisher: Routledge Documentation: Journal of European Public Policy European Union (EU) patient mobility law creates destabilization rights: rights for citizens that would, if consistently applied, destabilize law, administration and finance for healthcare systems across the EU. This article focuses on the responses of the destabilized organizations and their efforts to restabilize their legal situation. We argue that it takes place through two decisions: a decision about whether or not to change procedures in response to the new right; and a decision about whether or not to lobby to circumscribe the new right. Our qualitative research in Germany and the UK found some differences in responses, but across the board the incumbent organizations and governments opted for very limited compliance and considerable  engagement in EU politics as their preferred strategy for responding to the new destabilization rights. Hak destabilisas...

Shifting Proximities: The Maritime Ports Sector in an Era of Global Suppy Chains

Researchers: Peter V. Hall and Wouter Jacobs Publisher: Routledge Documentation: Regional Studies Economic geographers argue that spatial and non-spatial dimensions of proximity are central to innovation and collective action. The various dimensions of proximity in relation to maritime ports are examined. Global  supply chains represent a shift in organizational and cognitive proximities between seaports and among port users. In the process, extra-local relationships have become even more influential in maritime port development. As organizational proximity between dominant port users has increased through vertical and horizontal integration, territorially based institutional and social proximities, especially as regards stable and shared regulatory systems, are increasingly important as a counterbalance to ensure openness to innovation and upgrading. Mengubah Kedekatan: Sektor Pelabuhan Maritim dalam Era Rantai Persediaan Global Sejumlah ahli geografi berpendapat bahwa ...

Menguatnya Dukungan Politik bagi Carbon Capture Storage (CCS) di Norwegia

Researcher: Andreas Tjernshaugen Publisher: Routlege Documentation: Environmental Politics Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has enjoyed stronger political support in Norway than in other countries. Early CCS initiatives were motivated by the challenge of reconciling relatively ambitious climate policy  argets with growing emissions from Norway’s offshore oil and gas operations, whose expertise and project opportunities formed the basis for these initiatives. The early start of the CCS debate created political path dependence effects, including recruitment of much of the environmental sector (government agencies and some NGOs) as CCS promoters. Paradoxically, the historical absence from Norway of fossilbased power generation also favoured CCS. Initiatives to add gas-fired generating capacity to Norway’s previously emissions-free power supply created an entrenched conflict in which CCS became a politically necessary compromise. The more recent growth in political support for CCS...

Civil society and the political economy of GMO failures in Canada: a neo-Gramscian analysis

Researcher: Peter Andree Publisher: Routledge Documentation: Environmental Politics Despite the government of Canada’s close relationship with the biotechnology industry, critical social movement organisations have had a significant impact on the adoption of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in that country. Two cases of products rejected after widespread resistance – recombinant bovine growth hormone (1999) and herbicide-tolerant Roundup Ready (RR) Wheat (2004) – are revisited. Informed by empirical research that brings to light new factors shaping the RR wheat outcome in particular, two theoretical arguments are advanced. First, in response to those critics of a neo-Gramscian framing of hegemony who see it as overlydeterministic, these cases highlight just how deeply alliances with hegemonic ambitions may be forced to compromise. Second, these cases demonstrate that any study of civil society must still pay close attention to institutional and material ‘relations of force’ w...
