Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

How are we to characterise the context in which organisations operate? The notion that organisational activity is shaped by institutional logics has been influential but it presents a number of problems. The criteria by which institutions are identified the conflation of institutions with organisations the enduring nature of those institutions and an exaggerated focus on change are all concerns that existing perspectives do not tackle adequately. This book uses the resources of historical work to suggest new ways of looking at institutional logics. It builds on the work of Roger Friedland who has conceived of institutional logics being animated by adherence to a core substance that is immanent in practices. Development of this idea in the context of organisation theory is supported by ideas drawn from the work of the social theorist Margaret Archer and the broader resources of the philosophical tradition of critical realism. Institutions are seen to emerge over time from the embodied relations of humans to each other and to the natural world on which they depend for material existence. Once emergent institutions develop their own logics and endure to form the context in which agents are involuntarily placed and that conditions their activity. The approach adopted offers resources to ‘bring society back in’ to the study of organisations. The book will appeal to graduate students who are engaging with institutional theory in their research. It will also be of interest to scholars of institutional theory of the history of organisations and those seeking to apply ideas from critical realism to their research. | Reframing Institutional Logics Substance Practice and History

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

This volume examines the substance of European Union (EU) democracy promotion by comparing it with norms of governance that other international actors promote among them the United Nations the United States the Central and East European EU member states Russia China and non-governmental organizations. The book offers a better understanding of the EU’s democracy promotion agenda and the (in)distinctiveness of the norms diffused by the EU. Building on a common conceptual introduction the chapters follow different theoretical approaches and research designs and focus on a range of diverse case studies. The book concludes that in comparison with other international actors the EU’s conceptual approach to democracy promotion is diffuse which in turn makes the EU a particularly flexible but also ‘technical’ democracy promoter when it comes to implementation. At the same time there are limits to flexibility at the level of concepts and frames. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Cambridge Review of International Affairs. | Comparative Perspectives on the Substance of EU Democracy Promotion

Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Aiming to redefine the concept of wealth which has too often been reduced to merely ‘accumulated assets’ this book views wealth primarily as a question of reproduction relational flows and life vitality. The authors therefore outline wealth as a triangular phenomenon between capital the commons and power. Viewing wealth as firstly a product of relational capacities the book explores the processes wherein it is constantly being pulled at from forces that demand appropriation be that finance community or state. The chapters tackle perceptions (and practices) of wealth in the commons in mythical narrative immaterial substance aristocratic orders antimafia money real and imagined and conspiracy theory with contributions from Melanesia Italy Greece India and Mongolia. The comparative perspective lies at the heart of the book bringing together instances of commonwealth and the commons as well as hierarchical relational and substantial understandings of wealth. As the first collection in recent decades to address the anthropology of wealth openly in a comparative perspective this book will spark discussions of the concept in anthropology not least at the back of a renewed debate over it due to Piketty’s legacy. This book was originally published as a special issue of History & Anthropology. | Towards an Anthropology of Wealth Imagination Substance Value

Theology and Civil Society

Theology and Civil Society

From food banks to migrant welcome committees and community organisers to internet based campaigners civil society is central to the North Atlantic social landscape. Theology and Civil Society advances our understanding of what civil society is and offers a theologically informed re-imagining of our shared social life. Prefaced by a foreword by the Rev. Dr Rowan Williams this book explores contemporary manifestations of the kind of collective action observed in civil society since the 1800s. It then examines civil society as the sum of modern associations which mediate our relationships to the market and the state but which cannot be identified fully with either the market or the state. Finally three different perspectives on civil society are presented using insights from theologians such as John Milbank and Georg Hegel. This is a pertinent topic for contemporary society and it is explored expertly here by an international panel of contributors. As such it is an important volume for any scholar of Theology and Religious Studies and their interactions with Sociology and Politics.

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

In Sex Drugs and Creativity: The Search for Magic in a Disenchanted World Kahoud and Knafo take a close look at omnipotent fantasies in three domains: sex drugs and creativity. They demonstrate how these fantasies emerge and how artists draw on them both to create and destroy—sometimes simultaneously – and how understanding this can help psychoanalysts work more effectively with these individuals. Using the personal statements of influential artists and entertainers in addition to clinical material the authors examine the omnipotence of self-destruction as it contends with that of creative artists. The authors argue that creative artists use omnipotent fantasies to imagine the world differently - this enables them to produce their art but also leaves these artists vulnerable to addiction. Chapters devoted to Stephen King and Anne Sexton demonstrate the ways these authors used drugs and alcohol to fuel imagination and inspire creative output while simultaneously doing harm to themselves. A detailed case study also demonstrates successful clinical work with a creative substance user. Sex Drugs and Creativity will appeal to anyone interested in the links between creativity and substance use and will be of great use to psychoanalysts and mental health practitioners working with these challenging clients. | Sex Drugs and Creativity Searching for Magic in a Disenchanted World

Drugs Law People Place and the State Ongoing regulation resistance and change

Drugs Law People Place and the State Ongoing regulation resistance and change

Though any psychoactive substance can be revered or reviled as a drug as people’s cultural norms shift ultimately its status is determined in law by the state. This publication explores the regulation of drugs – alcohol and cannabis to heroin and cocaine – and practices such as social drinking and public injecting under political regimes. Drugs are discussed in their geographical contexts: the colonial legacy of cannabis prohibition for bioprospecting in Africa; the veracity of the persistent notion of the narco-state; Turkey’s governance of drinking amid civil unrest; and alcohol’s place in the neoliberal political economy of Ireland. In addition drug policies are examined: from problems in managing drug-related litter in the UK to supervised injecting facility provision in Australia; harm reduction in Canada; and the global network of drug policy activists. Place is significant but porous borders territorial overlaps and multi-scalar linkages are influential in remaking the world through current challenges to the ‘war on drugs’.
