The ebook edition of this title is Open Access and freely available
to read online. The higher education and research system faces a
constant dilemma. On the one hand, research and higher education
are run by autonomous, interrelated academic communities, often
described as collegial governance. On the other hand, they are an
instrument for the fulfillment of goals that are often external to
the academic community. What, then, is the role of academics and
academic knowledge in governance of higher education and research,
and how does this reflect on and impact their aims and overall
place in society? Fostered through joint workshops and an open
dialogue, this double volume of Research in the Sociology of
Organizations develops a deeper understanding of collegiality,
examining through a unique comparative perspective how it is
translated and practiced in different settings across the world.
Considering ways in which collegiality can be revitalized, this
second installment argues for reintroducing collegiality both in
analyzing the development of higher education systems and research
and in the actual governing of universities. Revealing the
globalization, homogenization and variation that have come to
characterize the collegiate system, Revitalizing Collegiality
critically considers the state of and future of the higher
education system, and how we can consciously shape it moving
forward.

Concentrating on challenges to collegiality and the erosion of
faculty governance, this first installment analyzes global waves of
reforms, ways in which various kinds of managerial modes of
organization and control come to reshape universities, and how this
intersects with the evolving missions of universities as
institutions. Revealing the globalization, homogenization and
variation that have come to characterize the collegiate system,
University Collegiality and the Erosion of Faculty Authority
critically considers the state of and future of the higher
education system, and how we can consciously shape it moving

This volume contributes to the literature on the sociology of
organizations and management, especially to sociological
institutionalism, by attempting to fill an important gap in
institutional research. Our starting point is the conviction that
organizational institutionalims is the conceptual and empirical
venue to study ideology, both in its symbolic and material
dimension and this volume represents an effort to refocus and
revitalize these issues. The ten chapters of this volume engage
directly and critical with several North American and European
institutional traditions. Apart from organizational
institutionalism's own classic and current research, they draw on a
wide variety of theoretical legacies to make sense of the
relationship between institutions and ideology: Weber, Foucault,
Heidegger, Bourdieu, Archer, Wuthnow, critical discourse analysis,
or Kuhn's discussion of paradigm shifts as ideological changes.
Empirical areas covered range from technology and software
development, the brewing industry, custodial facilities to the
organization of birthing.
Scale is an overlooked issue in the research on interactive
governance. This book takes up the important task of investigating
the scalar dimensions of collaborative governance in networks,
partnerships, and other interactive arenas and explores the
challenges of operating at a single scale, across or at multiple
scales and of moving between scales. First published as a special
issue of Policy & Politics, the volume explores the role of
scale and scaling in a wide range of policy areas, including
employment policy, water management, transportation planning,
public health, university governance, artistic markets, child
welfare and humanitarian relief. Cases are drawn from Asia,
Australia, Europe, and North and South America and span all levels
from local to global. Together, the theoretical framework and the
empirical case studies sensitize us to the tensions that arise
between scales of governance and to the challenges of shifting from
one scale of governance to another.
Recent decades have witnessed a dramatic expansion of management
education and practice. At the same time, the formalization of
management practice has allowed for a widespread diffusion of
management ideas across sectors and continents. This book provides
an up-to-date summary of the development, refinement, and diffusion
of managerial ideas, adding detail and explanation to commonly held
conceptions about the explosion of management knowledge.
The contributors contend that management ideas do not flow
automatically but are actively shaped and transformed by knowledge
carriers--business schools, consultancies, and the media. Drawing
on data from worldwide empirical studies, the chapters analyze how
such carriers are organized, how they act and react, and how they
shape and reshape knowledge. The book places the development and
diffusion of management knowledge in a wider environmental and
historical context and offers stimulating comparisons of European
and American management traditions.
The combination of theory and practice will make this book a
valuable resource for courses dealing with management,
organizational and institutional theory, and globalization.

Globalization involves a profound re-ordering of our world with the
proliferation everywhere of rules and transnational modes of
governance. This book examines how this governance is formed,
changes and stabilizes. Building on a rich and varied set of
empirical cases, it explores transnational rules and regulations
and the organizing, discursive and monitoring activities that
frame, sustain and reproduce them. Beginning from an understanding
of the powerful structuring forces that embed and form the context
of transnational regulatory activities, the book scrutinizes the
actors involved, how they are organized, how they interact and how
they transform themselves to adapt to this new regulatory
landscape. A powerful analysis of the modes and logics of
transnational rule-making and rule-monitoring closes the book. This
authoritative resource offers ideal reading for all academic
researchers and graduate students of governance and regulation.
