  摘要：The construction of public problems has a lasting influence on implementation in a given policy subsystem. National and sociopolitical contexts influence issue definition differently across nations. However, the degree to which nation-specific issue definition takes place has been insufficiently explored. In recent years, the growing incidence of autism has led to a quest for causal factors. One hypothesis posits that the use of mercury in vaccines may be a culprit. This paper examines the def...

• Public-private partnerships: An international performance review AI翻译
  作者：Hodge, Graeme A.; Greve, Carsten
  作者单位：Monash University; Copenhagen Business School
  摘要：Public-private partnerships are enjoying a global resurgence in popularity, but there is still much confusion around notions of partnership, what can be learned from our history with partnerships, and what is new about the partnership forms that are in vogue today.

Despite their contin...

  摘要：Using network power bases and cognitive accuracy concepts, this study examines two local emergency management network changes. The authors review five power bases-structural-based, resource-based, actor-based, cognitive-based, and political-based power-to explore the perceived power of network actors. Three research propositions are proposed with respect to the relationship between the network power bases and the cognitive accuracy of network participants. The authors find that political-based...
