摘要：Based on a study of reliability consequences of New Public Management (NPM) reforms in Norwegian critical infrastructure sectors, this article suggests that the discourse of work found in NPM renders essential aspects of operational work invisible - including practices that are known to be of importance for reliability. We identify two such organizationally 'invisible' characteristics of operational work: the ongoing situational coordination required for keeping a water supply system or an ele...

摘要：To understand dynamics within communities of organized interests, researchers have primarily studied organizational births and deaths. The organizational development of established interest organizations has received far less attention. This article claims that the evolution of interest groups' organizational features is strongly affected by evolving resource dependencies with the state. A life-history case study of an environmental interest organization is used to substantiate this argument e...

The article draws on Mann's concept of infrastructural power, which refers to the state's capacity to exercise control and impleme...

摘要：This article uses the theory of 'communities of practice' to explore the discontinuity of knowledge sharing across different groups co-located within a collaborative research partnership. It presents the findings of a qualitative case study conducted within one of the Collaborations for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care (CLAHRCs) - large-scale UK-based knowledge mobilization initiatives bringing together the producers and users of health research. Focusing on the boundaries emergi...

摘要：Administrative decentralization to government agencies (so-called 'agencification') has attracted much attention in recent years, increasingly for its longevity or evolution after the 'high' managerialism of the 1980s, and largely through a neo-positivist epistemology. Drawing on techniques of narrative and discourse analysis, and a model of incremental ideational change, this article identifies the necessity of supplementing those existing large-N analyses of agencification's expansion and de...
