Book Sociologie politique des probl  mes publics   2e   d

Download or read book Sociologie politique des probl mes publics 2e d written by Erik Neveu and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2022-03-30 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi certains problèmes suscitent-ils plus l’attention médiatique que d’autres ? Comment, à quel moment et pourquoi, un dossier ou un événement devient-il un "problème", dont on parle dans les débats sociaux, et que les politiques publiques décident de traiter ? Comment sont-ils définis ? Comment les mettre en récit pour qu’ils soient au diapason des sensibilités sociales ? Qui en sont les entrepreneurs (think tanks, haut-fonctionnaires, mouvements sociaux) ? Comment sont-ils relayés (ou non) par des politiques publiques ? Ce manuel, sans équivalent sur le marché, restitue dans un langage clair le cadre théorique du sujet et vient répondre à l'ensemble de ces questions. Assorti de nombreux exemples concrets ancrés dans l'actualité (passe sanitaire, retraites, réchauffement climatique) et d'outils théoriques, la nouvelle édition de cet ouvrage aide à penser comment s’alimentent nos conversations, les « Unes » des médias et l’agenda des politiques.

Book Canadian Public Administration in the 21st Century

Download or read book Canadian Public Administration in the 21st Century written by Charles Conteh and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-08-13 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands associated with good governance and good public management are at an all-time high. Yet the discipline of Canadian public administration is in flux, and the time is ripe for an open and frank analysis of its state and possibilities. Canadian Public Administration in the 21st Century brings together emerging voices in Canadian public administration to consider current and future prospects in the discipline. A new wave of scholars has brought new energy, ambition, and perspectives to the field. In this book they take stock and build on established traditions and current trends, focusing on emerging, or reemerging, issues and challenges. The book identifies and analyzes the emergent research agenda in public administration, focusing on Canada to illustrate key concepts, frameworks, and issues. It consists of three thematically organized sections, exploring processes, structures, and principles of Canadian public administration. It addresses the broad, emergent trend in processes of service delivery or policy implementation generally referred to as the new public governance. It then critically examines the structural and institutional dimensions of Canadian public administration in light of recent directions in the field. A complete exploration of new principles, methods, values, and ethics in Canadian public administration research and practice rounds out the coverage. Bringing together emerging scholars, the book bridges the gap between established analytical traditions and novel theoretical and methodological approaches in the field. It proposes a new, more interdisciplinary public administration increasingly focused on governance and not solely on management.

Book Where Has Social Justice Gone

Download or read book Where Has Social Justice Gone written by Emmanuelle Barozet and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses survey data in "hot spots" around the globe, to analyse various models of social justice, particularly the principle of equality, from a pragmatic perspective. Starting with ordinary actors, social movements, and concrete contexts, the authors question foundations of social and political democracy in our times. They focus on how social actors deal with the principles of justice and judgments of justice at work and in their social lives. The book suggests that the increase in social inequalities in recent decades contrasts with the blurring of the aims of social justice. At a time when the reconsideration of politics largely depends on its relevance to and aspirations for social justice, the authors of this book question contemporary developments by illustrating its variety, according to specific historical, institutional, social and organizational contexts.The book will be useful to students and scholars in the social sciences, especially those interested in moral questions regarding social justice, from an empirical and practical point of view.

Book Theory of Social Enterprise and Pluralism

Download or read book Theory of Social Enterprise and Pluralism written by Philippe Eynaud and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decades, social enterprise has been an emerging field of research. Its main frameworks have been provided by Occidental approaches. Mainly based on an organizational vision, they give little or no room to questions such as gender, race, colonialism, class, power relations and intertwined forms of inequality. However, a wide range of worldwide hidden, popular initiatives can be considered as another form of social enterprises based on solidarity, re-embedding the economy as well as broadening the political scope. This has been shown in a previous book: Civil Society, the Third Sector, and Social Enterprise: Governance and Democracy. Thus, to be more than a fashion or a fictitious panacea, the concept of social enterprise needs to be debated. Southern realities cannot be only understood through imported categories and outside modeled guidelines. This book engages a multicontinental and pluridisciplinary discussion in order to provide a pluralist theory of social enterprise. The book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of social entrepreneurship, social innovation, development studies, management studies and social work.

Book Regulators as Agenda Setters

Download or read book Regulators as Agenda Setters written by Edoardo Guaschino and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive understanding of how, and under which conditions, regulators in the social sectors are able to influence political agendas and issue definitions. In these political processes, agencies may become the policy entrepreneurs which are able to prioritize issues, placing them in the political agenda and influencing policy formulations. These activities generate additional questions about the political role of regulatory agencies and post-delegation settings. Based on original source data and a mixed methods approach, the book shows that the diffusion of regulatory agencies is not only limited to regulatory responsibilities and to their increasing role in policy-making, but their influence has stretched over the agenda-setting phase but only under certain conditions. Moreover, the evolution of their strategies, the production and use of knowledge and the context in which they operate enable them to exert leverage on agendas. This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of the politics of regulation, bureaucracy, agenda-setting, public policy, social problems and more broadly to European and comparative politics, and democracy.

Book Sociologie politique de l action publique   3e   d

Download or read book Sociologie politique de l action publique 3e d written by Patrick Hassenteufel and published by Armand Colin. This book was released on 2021-11-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les politiques publiques font pleinement partie de notre vie quotidienne, et influencent, si ce n'est déterminent, la plupart de nos comportements individuels, que ce soit dans les domaines de la santé, des loisirs, de la famille, de la vie professionnelle... L'action publique est donc un objet d'étude incontournable, et son analyse permet d'interroger plus largement la place du politique dans la société et les rapports de pouvoirs entre groupes sociaux. Cet ouvrage propose des grilles d'analyse de l'action publique, en mettant l’accent sur la sociologie des acteurs (des élus locaux aux institutions internationales en passant par les experts, les citoyens et les médias), la compréhension de leurs interactions et une démarche comparative. Une nouvelle édition assortie de nombreuses études de cas en phase avec l'actualité (crise du covid, protection de l’environnement, retraites...).

Book Globalizing Issues

Download or read book Globalizing Issues written by Erik Neveu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invitation to question conventional and often misleading visions of globalization. No problem is global by nature: issues are transformed by the action of claims-makers to become ‘problems’ debated in supra-national forums, triggering policy choices and policy transformations. Contributions highlight how health issues, environmental issues and/or political issues are framed as global by a set of stakeholders (scientific experts, bureaucrats, political parties or actors, social movements, social networks, firms). As the volume maps the social logic behind the globalization of problems, it also presents an opportunity for the very cross-disciplinary collaboration it calls for: researchers mobilizing the “agenda-setting” paradigm of issue globalization and those working within the “social constructionist” model are both represented here, providing a unique opportunity to examine the dynamics of globalization from the perspectives of (political, media, economic) sociology, international relations, social movement studies, and beyond.

Book Cyberhate in the Context of Migrations

Download or read book Cyberhate in the Context of Migrations written by Angeliki Monnier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book takes an interdisciplinary approach to shed light on the complex dynamics involved in the incidence of online hate speech against migrants in user-generated contexts. The authors draw on case studies from Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and the UK, bringing together qualitative and quantitative analyses on user-generated online comments. The authors argue that online hate speech against migrants must be understood as a symptom of a representation crisis on migration, which can only be fully perceived through the study of the complex linguistic, interactional and connective processes within which it emerges. They focus on representations and shared meanings, community building and otherness, and delve into the role of network ecosystems in the process of the construction of public problems. This book will be of interest to undergraduate and post-graduate students as well as academics working on hate speech and migration studies in a variety of fields, and can also contribute to improving research protocols for automated analyses and detections of online hate speech.

Book Anti Gender Mobilizations  Religion and Politics

Download or read book Anti Gender Mobilizations Religion and Politics written by Massimo Prearo and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an innovative exploration of the rise of political forces that have coalesced around the anti-gender movement, shaping strategies that advocate novel intersections of religion, politicization of gender and sexuality, and radical and populist rejuvenation of conservative ideologies. Through an extensive examination of activist discourses and mobilizations, the author offers a comprehensive political analysis of anti-gender mobilization, encompassing a multidimensional examination of religious, activist, and political opportunity structures. This study unveils three distinct facets characterizing these emerging (Catholic) movements: their relative autonomy from the Church (extra-ecclesiastical), their divergence from conventional religious frameworks (extra-Catholic), and their party-political alignment within the far-right area. The author proposes a new perspective on this burgeoning Catholic cause, contextualizing it within the transnational dynamics underscored by the existing literature. Particularly noteworthy is the scrutiny of internal reshaping within the Italian political Catholicism realm between the 1990s and the 2000s set against the backdrop of the dissolution of the Christian Democratic Party. Through the lens of the Italian landscape, this study extends its analysis to offer broader insights into the contemporary political uses of religion within democracies, along with contentious issues arising from gender and sexuality debates, transcending the confines of the Italian context. This book holds significant relevance for scholars and students engaged in gender studies, religious studies, social movements, populism, political science, political sociology, political history, and Italian studies.

Book Illicit Medicines in the Global South

Download or read book Illicit Medicines in the Global South written by Mathieu Quet and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates pharmaceutical regulation and the public health issue of fake or illicit medicines in developing countries. The book analyses the evolution of pharmaceutical capitalism, showing how the entanglement of market and health interests has come to shape global regulation. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in India, Kenya, and Europe, it demonstrates how large pharmaceutical companies have used the fight against fake medicines to serve their strategic interests and protect their monopolies, sometimes to the detriment of access to medicines in developing countries. The book investigates how the contemporary dynamics of pharmaceutical power in global markets have gone on to shape societies locally, resulting in more security-oriented policies. These processes highlight the key consequences of contemporary "logistical regimes" for access to health. Providing important insights on how the flows of commodities, persons, and knowledge shape contemporary access to medicines in the developing countries, this book will be of considerable interest to policy makers and regulators, and to scholars and students across sociology, science and technology studies, global health, and development studies.
