摘要：Interpretive approaches to governance include poststructuralism, constructivist institutionalism, practical philosophy and democratic pluralism. All of these interpretive approaches share a focus on meanings, sympathy for bottom-up studies and an emphasis on contingency.

We found evidence for a change from a Public Sector hospital archetype to a Public Hospital Corporation archetype....

To this end the ECA's annual reports for 1996-2001 have been analysed. We find that the information provided in the ECA annual reports is somewhat unsystematic, which is the result of the ECA's approach to auditing and its working methods. A review of the literature, as well as our own empirical analysis, allows ...

摘要：Amid a period of increasing political anxiety generated by the BSE crisis, the Irish Government sought to replace a confusing medley of food regulations with a single agency responsible for regulating food from the 'farm to the fork'. Presented as a radical departure from a regime previously discredited, its remit would be to redefine the relationship between risk assessment, management and communication. In this context, the paper puts forward three principal arguments. First, that while the ...
