Self-Regulation by Associations: Collective Action Problems in European Environmental Regulation
Full text linkHow 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
Full text linkThe 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
Dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminate aggression
No full textIndiscriminate aggression includes diverse instances of aggression or violence in which victims are haphazardly targeted, ranging in severity from lethal violence to relatively low levels of aggression. High-profile perpetrators of indiscriminately aggressive acts have endorsed beliefs dehumanizing others, and it is likely that dehumanization beliefs may be associated with indiscriminate aggression at all levels of severity. It is posited that this aggression-supporting belief is uniquely associated with indiscriminate aggression. The current investigation encompasses 1) the development and validation of an original measure of dehumanization beliefs, 2) an examination of the nature of dehumanization beliefs, 3) the development and validation of a measure of indiscriminately aggressive behavior and 4) an examination of the link between dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminate aggression. Preliminary study 1 examined the role of emotional state in the perception of violent images using a mood induction paradigm. Results of preliminary study 1 indicate that angry individuals perceive videos of violent acts as more exciting and entertaining as compared to individuals who are not angry. Preliminary study 2 examined the correlates of identification with an indiscriminate aggressor using a questionnaire. Results of preliminary study 2 indicate that identification with the Virginia Tech shooter was associated with aggressive behaviors and beliefs. Preliminary study 3 examined the reliability and validity of a new measure of dehumanization beliefs, the Dehumanization Beliefs Scale (DBS). Results of preliminary study 3 indicate that the DBS is a reliable and valid measure of dehumanization beliefs. Dissertation study 1 examined the role of emotional state in the relation between dehumanization beliefs and rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior using a mood induction paradigm. Results of dissertation study 1 indicate that both anger and anxiety influence the relationship between dehumanization beliefs and indiscriminately aggressive behavior. Dissertation study 2 examined the relation between dehumanization beliefs and rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior. Results of dissertation study 2 indicate that the degree to which an individual endorses dehumanization beliefs is related to rates of indiscriminately aggressive behavior. This work has implications for the prediction and prevention of indiscriminate aggression and violence.Ph.D.Includes abstractIncludes bibliographical referencesby Adrienne F. McFau
Periférikusságok: „Kisebb” irodalmak, nőirodalom és Csicseri Orosz Adrienne regényei
Full text linkIn "Peripheralities: 'Minor' Literatures, Women's Literature, and Adrienne Orosz de Csicser's Novels" Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek discusses events surrounding Adrienne Orosz de Csicser's (1878-1934) work. For the contextualization of the events Tötösy de Zepetnek employs his own framework of "comparative cultural studies," here applied to "minor literatures" (i.e., peripheral) and women's literature and Shunqing Cao's "variation theory." While Orosz's novels are not considered exceptional, the author achieved notoriety after having been locked up in a mental institution. In addition to three published novels, in an unpublished novel (excerpts of which she read at various literary and social gatherings) Orosz narrates her love affair with a Roman Catholic bishop. Knowledge about her novel's contents resulted in the bishop orchestrating Orosz's commitment to a mental hospital. The context in which Orosz's texts are located in is the socio-political situation in Hungarian society prior to and shortly after the First World War.Tötösy de Zepetnek Steven a „Periférikusságok: 'Kisebb' irodalmak, nőirodalom és Csicseri Orosz Adrienne regényei” című tanulmányában Csicseri Orosz Adrienne (1878-1934) kiadott és kiadatlan regényeinek tartalmát és az azokhoz kapcsolódó eseményeket tárgyalja. A tanulmány elméleti háttere az összehasonlító kultúratudomány, jelen esetben az ún. „kisebb” (azaz periferiális) irodalmak, a nő irodalom, valamint Cao Shunqing variáció elmélete (variation theory). Az elméleti háttérre támaszkodva a tanulmány a nő szerzők „újra-felfedezésének” fontosságát (különös tekintettel a „kisebb” irodalmakra), az erotika és erotikus elbeszélésmód témáját a magyar irodalomban és a 19. századbeli magyar nőírók (proto)feminista perspektíváját emeli ki. Míg Orosz regényei semmilyen értelemben sem számíthatnak kivételesnek, a szerző mégis hírhedtté lett korabeli társadalmi és katolikus egyházi intrikák miatt. Orosz három megjelent regénye mellett egy kiadatlan regénynek is szerzője, amelyben egy római katolikus püspökkel folytatott szerelmi viszonyt beszél el és ami miatt Oroszt elmegyógyintézetbe zárták a püspök hatalmának és befolyásának következtében. Orosz szövegeinek kontextusa az I. Világháború előtti és az azt közvetlenül követő időszak magyar társadalmának társadalmi-politikai helyzete
