Self-Regulation by Associations: Collective Action Problems in European Environmental Regulation
No full textHow and to what effect do firms coordinate their actions in order to deal with the negative external effects of productive activity? Under which conditions do firm associations engage in environmental self-regulation and what kind of governance devices do they develop in order to tackle the specific regulatory challenges at stake? Is the 'shadow of hierarchy', the credible threat of legislation, executive intervention or court rulings, a necessary condition for associative action to emerge? Or is it only necessary if a redistributive problem is at stake? These are the questions discussed in this article. We will first develop the theoretical argument based on economic institutionalism, derive hypotheses and then submit the propositions to a first empirical assessment of associative self-regulation on waste recycling in the plastic and paper industry.governance; self-regulation; shadow of hierarchy; transaction cost theory.
New Modes of Governance in Europe: Policy Making without Legislating? IHS Political Science Series: 2002, No. 81
No full textThe article analyzes new modes of governance in Europe. Firstly, different types of new governance, the open coordination method and voluntary accords, and their individual elements are identified. The theoretical discussion about them points out the reasons of their emergence, their mode of operation and the links to the ‘classical’ forms of decision-making. Secondly the simple question of the relative importance of new modes of governance in European policy-making is raised. Looking at the policy measures from the beginning of 2000 until July 2001, the analysis found that only a minority of measures can be considered new modes of governance, defined in the above terms. A third question raised concerns political institutional capacity. Finally the question or instrumental capacity or effectiveness is raised

Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
"His mind was great and powerful": George Washington's reading and the fashioning of his American self
No full textThis dissertation explores George Washington's intellectual development through the reading he conducted over the course of his lifetime. The chapters that follow offer answers to the questions: why did he develop his unique reading preferences at different periods in his life; what did he read; how did he use the knowledge gained from his reading; and where did Washington read. Answering these questions opens a window into Washington's mind. Over the course of his adult life, Washington meticulously cultivated his reputation and played a large part in the creation of his own myth. The success of this endeavor largely hinged on his ability to maintain a certain aloofness from those around him. As a result, Washington's closest contemporaries and scores of historians and biographers over time all concluded that Washington's mind was inaccessible. As long as the keys to understanding Washington's intellect remained hidden, the studies of how he achieved such greatness were somewhat hollow. However, this dissertation argues that one of these keys has hidden in plain sight -- in his library. Washington eventually amassed a library of over nine hundred volumes, a fact that many scholars have noted, but none have seriously examined. By examining the library to determine what Washington read and then placing that reading in the context of the events taking place in his life and world, what emerges is a picture of a man driven to succeed. Washington spent a lifetime compensating for a "defective education" through self-directed study. He pursued useful knowledge so that he could lead scores of men who were often more qualified than he. This reading was the key to Washington's self-fashioning project. This project not only makes Washington more real and accessible, but it also sheds important light on how his own American identity was formed. This project will therefore contribute to future research on the development of American nationalism.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Adrienne Marie Harriso
