Chapter 11 Framing Transdisciplinary Research as an Assemblage
In this case study of a transdisciplinary collaboration between a mental health nurse and a human geographer, we reflect on a continuing research venture to develop walking therapy as an accepted intervention in the mental health system. We draw on Gilles Delueuze and Félix Guattari’s assemblage theory to frame the research practice, or journey, as something which is boundless, fluid, and co…

Chapter 10: The social sources of unelected power: how central banks became e…
The 'unconventional' monetary policies of the past decade have re-opened the debate about central banks' accountability and the nature and sources of their legitimacy.

Chapter 10: Public encounters and the role of citizens' impression management
Public encounters can be viewed as the communicative 'in-between' in which citizens and street-level bureaucrats define the situation in an orientation towards each other (Bartels 2013). Even although at first glance the interaction may seem highly unequal in terms of status and the ability of street-level bureaucrats to determine access to public services, citizens can strategically influence …

Gender equality goals have proven to be difficult for organizations to achieve. Management scholars attribute gender equality's intractability to decoupling: Organizations adopt structures, policies and programs that fail to deliver their intended outcomes.

Chapter 10: Common ownership and merger control enforcement
Common ownership fundamentally upsets the well-settled merger enforcement ecosystem. Not only it challenges basic principles informing merger policy such as the presumed profitability of mergers for the merging firms and the merger-specificity of potential efficiencies but also it works against implementing tools and presumptions in merger practice such as concentration indices for screening ou…
