Bureaucratic Politics, Presidential Leadership Style and Crisis Decision-Making: Why Obama said Yes to Libya and no to Syria
Get PDFThis article examines why the Obama administration in 2011 decided to commit U.S. armed forces into Libya and in 2013 decided to seek congressional authorization for the use of military force in Syria. This paired comparison illustrates how the combined effects of bureaucratic politics and the president’s leadership style contributed to the decision-making process of two different decision-making outcomes. The study finds mixed empirical support for the explanatory power of the bureaucratic politics model in both cases. The study also finds that the extent of presidential preeminence in the decision-making enables the understanding of yes in Libya and no in Syria

Ledelse af innovation i den offentlige sektor: Kommunal affaldshåndtering som en del af noget større
Get PDFDen offentlige sektor står over for mange og store udfordringer i det 21. århundrede, og der kan argumenteres for, at innovation skal være en del af svaret på disse udfordringer. I denne artikel fremdrages forskellige bud fra den eksisterende litteratur på, hvordan innovation kan initieres og ledes i den offentlige sektor. Artiklen indeholder også en case om en ny og innovativ tilgang til kommunal affaldshåndtering, og når denne case sammenholdes med de grundlæggende teoretiske perspektiver fra litteraturen, så viser analysen, at den konkrete innovationsproces mest hensigtsmæssigt kan ses som værende en del af et større og komplekst system, hvori mange aktører, delelementer og delprocesser har været relevante og spillet en rolle. Dette bliver diskuteret yderligere i slutningen af artiklen sammen med nogle af de heraf afledte konsekvenser for ledelse af innovation i den offentlige sektor.

“Awakening the Racial Spirit”: Indians, Sámi, and the Politics of Ethnographic Representation, 1930s–1940s
Get PDFThe article focuses on the efforts by scholars and activists in the 1930s–1940s to reinvigorate discussions of cultural preservation for indigenous peoples at the transnational level. It focuses in particular on the correspondence between, and overlap in, the efforts of ethnographers in the United States and Finland to secure homelands for the indigenous Sámi and American Indians as the cornerstone of cultural preservation efforts. The title, “awakening the racial spirit,” a term used by U.S. Commissioner of Indian Affairs John Collier (1934–1945), highlights the extent to which ethnographic representations of the time built on racialized and stereotyped images from the past to project onto indigenous peoples a distinctive future. Increasingly, both Sámi and American Indians engaged with and disrupted such representations. The impacts of the efforts to document and demarcate a distinctive indigenous past continue to underpin and inform indigenous rights discussions to this day
