Interculturality in Institutions: Symbols, Practices and Identities
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031126254 | 308 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB
This book provides qualitative analyses of intercultural sense making in a variety of institutional contexts. Itrelies onthe assumption that in an increasingly culturally diverse world, individuals often enter contexts that havecommunal, historically determined and stable sets of values, norms and expected identities, with little cultural compass to find their bearings in them. The book goes beyond interpreting differences in people's ethnic orlinguistic roots and discusses instead people's interpretive efforts to navigate different sociocultural situations. The contributors examine such situations in educational, organizational, medical and community settings andlook at how participants with different levels of sociocultural competences(such as, migrant patients, migrant adult learners, children)try to cope with institutional constraints and expectations, how they understandsymbols, practices and identities in institutional contexts, and how their creative adjustments come to light.

The Institutions of Programmatic Action: Policy Programs in French and German Health Policy by Johanna Hornung
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 252 Pages | ISBN : 3031057732 | 11.4 MB
This book is the first monograph to systematically apply the Programmatic Action Framework (PAF) in a comparative analysis of public policy in two institutionally different countries. The PAF seeks to explain long-term policy change by examining the shared biographies of policy actors who, to foster their careers, coalesce around policy programs which they promote throughout the policy process. Comparing health policy-making in France and Germany between 1990 and 2020, the book sheds light on the institutional settings that are necessary for programmatic action to occur. It will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, public administration, and health policy.

English | PDF | 2017 | 209 Pages | ISBN : 3319508911 | 3.3 MB
This book identifies and explores the mechanisms linking political institutions and variation in capitalist systems.

Still, correlation is not causation.

2021 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 3030734102 | PDF | 6 MB
What is the impact of populism on the EU? How did the EU institutions and civil society react to the recent rise of populist parties? To answer such relevant questions and understand populism in terms of ideas, political outcomes, and social dynamics, academia needs to engage with institutional actors, civil society organizations, and policy makers. By bringing together academics, members of European institutions and agencies, and leaders of civil society organizations, this edited volume bridges the gap between research and practice. It explores how populism impacted on European institutions and civil society and investigates their reactions and strategies to overcome the challenges posed by populists. This collection is organized into three main sections, i.e., general European governance; European Parliament and Commission; European organized civil society. Overall, the volume unveils how the populist threat was perceived within the EU institutions and NGOs and discusses the strategies they devised to react and how these were implemented in institutional and public communication.

English | February 2, 2018 | ISBN: 1506396224 | True EPUB/PDF | pages | 17.7/47 MB
Perspectives on International Relations: Power, Institutions, and Ideas shows students new to the field how theories (perspectives) of international affairs―realism, liberalism, constructivism (identity), and critical theory―play a decisive role in explaining every-day debates about world affairs. Why, for example, do politicians and political scientists disagree about the causes of the ongoing conflict in Syria, even though they all have the same facts? Or, why do policymakers disagree about how to deal with North Korea when they are all equally well informed?
