Abstract:
AbstractDigitization, new entrants and the disruption of business models prompt concern about the media’s societal mission. The article investigates how media managers conceptualize societal responsibility in an era of turmoil. Based on 20 semi-structured interviews with executive managers of private media companies in Norway and Flanders, the study reveals important differences in the definition of the public interest. While Flemish media managers emphasize brand value, Norwegian managers emphasize societal values, such as educating the public. When comparing managers of traditional and newer companies, a third, more straightforward market logic is also elicited, illuminating the vulnerability of traditional values.

Abstract:
Despite existing research that demonstrates the benefits of racial diversity in education, the Court has become increasingly disinclined to allow the use of race or ethnicity in education policy targeted to increase race/ethnic diversity, absent a compelling state interest. The debate over the merits of educational diversity has almost exclusively focused on individual-level outcomes, ignoring consequences for society at large. We argue that this restricted conception of the goals of diversity may limit our understanding of how diverse learning opportunities represent compelling societal interests. Using macro-level data of 29 U.S. metropolitan areas, we examine the societal impact of K-12 diversity on an important societal attribute, intergroup social cohesion. This research has the potential to inform education policy and judicial sentiment about diversity as a compelling state interest in an increasingly diverse society.

Abstract:
The elaborate system of expert groups that the European Commission organises is a key feature of EU everyday governance and also a potential channel of societal involvement in EU policy making. This article examines the patterns of participation in the expert group system of a broad set of societal actors—NGOs, social partners/unions, consumer organisations, and business/enterprise. The analysis is based on a large-N study of Commission expert groups. Taking on an “executive politics” perspective, we identify main patterns of participation and analyse organisational factors that affect the inclusion of societal actors in the expert group system. We find that such actors are strongly involved in this system. Yet, there is a striking heterogeneity in the extent to which the Commission’s administrative units include societal groups as experts in the policy process. The logics that underpin the inclusion of business organisations are not identical to the logics of inclusion applied to social partners and NGOs. The Commission as the core supranational executive is thus selectively open for societal involvement in its expert groups system, and this bureaucratic openness is patterned, clustered, and conditioned by structural factors that affect how the Commission as a multi-organisation operates.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT This essay discusses participative governance mechanisms in the public sector grounded on theories of civil liberties, dialogical democracies, patterns of state bureaucracies, and public governance reforms. We aimed to analyze the effects of these issues on political agendas and public and participative governance alternatives in Brazil, emphasizing conflicts among rulers, politicians, civil servants, interest groups, and advocacy coalitions in dispute in decision-making processes. The article signals a hybrid nature of the Brazilian democracy in which Weberian universalism and rules of Welfare State institutions inscribed in the 1988 constitutional matrix operate through competition between two other logic streams – strata inheritance of state bureaucracy on the one hand and initiatives in favor of horizontal and participative governance on the other. The dynamic contradictions among these four issues will define the pattern of current competition for State apparatus.

The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the competences of managers regarding to their managing responsibility to stakeholders. It refers to the political competence dimension that influences the decision making process of professionals in managing positions and reflects the responses to the unbalanced interests. Societal competence definition of Holland, Ritvo e Kovner (1997), stakeholders concept of Clarkson (1995) and competence concept of Zarifian (2003) were considered as basis. The methodological strategy adopted was basic qualitative studies, proposed by Merrian (1998), and fundamental technique was semi-structured interviews with ten directors and three presidents of different organizations, from retail, chemical, publishing, finance, media, electronic, pharmaceutical, food, transport and technology. The group selection was conducted in order to assure managers in decision-making position, not necessarily working neither in the same organization, nor in the same market segment. The procedures of textual interpretative analysis and templates techniques have based the analytical process. Analysis of documents was also utilized, based on documents released by managers regarding their activities within stakeholders relationship. Results achieved show that managers restrict the number of stakeholders in their decision-making processes. They consider some of none or little relevance, apparently without taking into consideration the fact those stakeholders sometime may make use of the power they have against organizations. Finally, it was not identified the societal competence mobilization, as proposed by Holland, Ritvo e Kovner (1997). Otherwise, it was noticed some intent to search for information on stakeholders demands, restricted to those considered as primaries, and limited to those groups involved in a specific event. The competence development depends on a reflexive process, on balance practice, which will take place when managers review the meaning of their relationship with stakeholders.
O estudo realizado tem por objetivo identificar e analisar as competências dos gestores no que diz respeito à suas responsabilidades gerenciais para com os grupos de interesse da organização, os stakeholders. Trata-se de entender a dimensão política da competência que afeta as decisões dos gestores em cargos de direção e se traduzem em respostas aos desequilíbrios de interesses. Partiu-se da definição de competências de relacionamento coletivo de Holland, Ritvo e Kovner (1997), do conceito de stakeholders de Clarkson (1995) e da visão de competências de Zarifian (2003). Adotou-se a estratégia metodológica dos estudos qualitativos básicos, proposta por Merrian (1998), utilizando-se como técnica fundamental de análise entrevistas semi-estruturadas, realizadas com dez diretores e três presidentes de diferentes organizações, dos segmentos de varejo, química, editorial, financeiro, mídia, eletro-eletrônico, farmacêutica, alimentos, transportes e tecnologia. A seleção do grupo foi direcionada de forma a assegurar a presença de gestores que estivessem atuando nos níveis hierárquicos decisórios, não necessariamente na mesma empresa, tampouco no mesmo segmento de mercado. O processo analítico foi inspirado na análise textual interpretativa de Flores (1994) e na técnica de templates. Realizou-se também a análise documental, com base nos documentos fornecidos pelos entrevistados acerca das atividades que envolvem suas relações com os stakeholders. Os resultados alcançados apontam que os gestores buscam restringir o número de stakeholders; consideram alguns de pouca ou nenhuma relevância, aparentemente sem se preocupar com o fato de que tais stakeholders podem, em algum momento, exercer a força que possuem junto às organizações. Conclui-se que não foi identificada, pelos gestores, a mobilização das competências de relacionamento coletivo, como proposto por Holland, Ritvo e Kovner (1997). Porém, encontraram-se alguns aspectos pontuais na busca por informações acerca das demandas de parte dos grupos interessados, notadamente os stakeholders primários, e, assim mesmo, limitados aos grupos envolvidos em determinados eventos. O desenvolvimento de tal competência depende, porém, de um processo de reflexão, de exercício de equilíbrio, que só ganhará força no momento em que os gestores revirem o significado que a relação com stakeholders tem para eles.

Abstract:
Bakgrunden till denna studie är framdragningen av kustjärnvägen Norrbotniabanan mellan Umeå och Luleå med stationslägen i bland annat Skellefteå och Piteå. Järnvägen är en miljövänlig transportlösning för gods men också för persontransporter, som bidrar till att binda samman hela kustlandet. När nya infrastruktursatsningar ska genomföras föregås de av ingående utredningar. De ska klargöras när, var och hur satsningen ska genomföras och av vem. Finansieringen av projektet är också en viktig fråga, är det privata aktörer eller är det samhället som ska betala. Är det samhället som ska finansiera projektet är det av stor vikt att klargöra om effekterna av åtgärden är samhällsekonomiskt hållbara. Dessa infrastruktursatsningar blir ofta identifierade som riksintressen. Tolkningen av riksintressenas överlägsna ställning vid mark- och vattenanvändningsplanering gör att det infaller ett investeringsvakuum direkt Trafikverket identifierat ett infrastrukturprojekt som är av rikets intresse för kommunikationer. Syftet med denna studie är att utreda de konsekvenser som en framdragning av viktig infrastruktur som Norrbotniabanan har på tätortsutvecklingen under utredningsarbetet av projekten och svara på följande frågeställningar:
      Vad innebär järnvägsutredningar för tätortsutvecklingen före byggstarten av järnvägen?
        Vilka är de negativa konsekvenserna för den kommunala tätortsutvecklingen av utredningsarbetet? Vilka är de positiva konsekvenserna för den kommunala tätortsutvecklingen av utredningsarbetet?
          Hur kan de negativa konsekvenserna av en järnvägsutredning minimeras? Hur kan de positiva konsekvenserna av en järnvägsutredning tillvartas? För att svara på frågeställningarna har en abduktiv ansats med kvalitativa metoder använts i denna studie. En systematisk litteraturstudie har kompletterats med semistrukturerade intervjuer. För att ytterligare fördjupa förståelsen har en Planstudie genomförts av Piteå kommuns översiktsplan samt påverkade detaljplaner. De viktigaste slutsatserna av denna studie är att utredningskorridoren för Norrbotniabanan har påverkat tätortsutvecklingen i Piteå kommun negativt. Hur stora de negativa konsekvenserna varit är svårt att konkretisera. De negativa konsekvenserna som framkommit av studien är bland annat: Skapar osäkerhet, med allt vad det innebär av uteblivna investeringar i verksamheter men också bostadsbyggande. Förbättringsåtgärder försvåras på befintliga anläggningar. Påverkar fastighetsmarknaden negativt då försäljningar uteblir. Skapar planeringssvårigheter, eftersom alternativa lägen ofta måste väljas. Påverkar tillgången på etableringsbar mark i kommunen. Verksamhetsmarken i kommunen är slut och önskvärda etableringslägen för bostäder i centrum påverkas. En positiv konsekvens av utredningsarbetet för Norrbotniabanan är att det planeras för en regionsammankopplande järnväg.
          The background to this study is the development of the Norrbotniabanan coastal railway between Umeå and Luleå with including stations in Skellefteå and Piteå. The railroad is an environmentally friendly solution for goods but also for passenger transport, which helps to tie together the entire coastal region. When new infrastructure initiatives are to be implemented, they are preceded by in-depth investigations. It has to be clarified when and how the investment will be carried out and by whom. Financing the project is also an important issue, is it private actors or is the society going to pay. If the society is financing the project, it is important to clarify whether the impact of the measure is socio-economic. These infrastructure initiatives are often identified as national interests. The interpretation of the supreme position of national interest in land and water use planning makes it an investment vacuum area directly The Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has identified an infrastructure project that is of the public interest in communications. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of a project on important infrastructure like Norrbotniabanan has on urban development during the investigation of the project and answer the following questions. What do railway investigations mean for urban development before the construction of the railway? What are the negative consequences for the municipal urban development of the investigations? What are the positive consequences for the municipal urban development of the investigations? How can the negative impact of a railway investigation be minimized? How can the positive consequences of a railway investigation be improved? To answer the questions an abductive approach whit qualitative method has been used in this study. A systematic literature study has been supplemented with semi structured interviews. To further deepen the understanding, a Plane study has been conducted by Piteå municipality's overview plan and affected detailed plans. The main conclusions of this study are that the investigation corridor for Norrbotniabanan has negatively affected urban development in Piteå municipality. How big the negative consequences have been is difficult to concretize. The negative consequences identified by the study include: • Creates uncertainty, with all that it means of missing investments in businesses but also housing construction. Improvement measures are made difficult at existing facilities. Have effects on the property market in the municipality, due to missing house sales. • Creates planning difficulties, because alternative modes often have to be selected. Have effects on the availability of plannable land in the municipality. The industrial in the municipalities have ended and desirable establishments for housing in the center are affected. A positive consequence of the investigations work for the Norrbotniabanan railway is that it is planned for a regional connecting railway.

Abstract:
The entire banking systems in the western societies is based on the use of interest. The bank charges the borowers interest on its loans and pays its depositors interest on their deposits. On the other hand, the Middle Eastern banking system is an interest free system that prohibits the use of interest, either in receipt or in payment.

Magíster en Gestión y Políticas Públicas
La Organización de las Naciones Unidas para Alimentación y Agricultura - FAO viene pasando por un profundo proceso de restructuración tendiente a involucrar otros actores en la lucha contra el hambre, entre los que se cuenta la sociedad civil, con que la Oficina Regional de FAO para América Latina y el Caribe (FAO/RLC) ha promovido una significativa aproximación desde el año de 2006. El presente estudio de caso busca comprender los aspectos que han favorecido el acercamiento entre esa Oficina de FAO y las organizaciones de representación rural (ORR) de la Región, identificando los aspectos que condicionan el fortalecimiento de esa relación, basado en las expectativas y opiniones de ambas partes acerca de los aprendizajes y desafíos. La metodología de la investigación es de carácter descriptivo cualitativo y se centra en un conjunto de entrevistas a representantes de FAO/RLC y de ORR. El marco conceptual incluye temas relacionados a ciudadanía, participación, sociedad civil, gobernanza relacional, entre otros. Los resultados de la investigación muestran que tanto FAO/RLC como las ORR han destinado buena parte de los esfuerzos en conocer a la otra parte, abriendo camino para el establecimiento de reglas formales e informales de acercamiento, articulación, negociación y trabajo. La motivación para emprender estos esfuerzos está en que cada uno persiga sus intereses con transparencia, pero sobre todo enfocándose en un objetivo común, como es la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional. La relación involucra dos actores que en general presentan grandes diferencias de empoderamiento para la articulación política, desde aspectos vinculados a disponibilidad de información y recursos económicos, hasta la apertura por parte de los gobiernos. La mayoría de los entrevistados consideran que todo espacio que promueva esa relación debe contemplar el acompañamiento cercano de los gobernantes e imparcialidad en la convocatoria de ORR. Las dificultades económicas que enfrentan las ORR pueden interferir en la generación de una agenda de trabajo y diálogo junto a la FAO, que hasta ahora ha sido financiada por la propia agencia, pero que está siendo objeto de revisión tras la reducción de presupuesto de FAO en el marco de su reestructuración. A pesar de los avances en la relación, se percibe una debilidad muy grande en el flujo de información entre los dirigentes en los diversos niveles de representación rural, más evidente a nivel nacional y local. La formación y capacitación de ambas partes sería un buen aporte para el establecimiento y consolidación de la relación, sin embargo, lo imprescindible es la frecuencia de reunirse, dialogar y trabajar juntos, lo que al menos en el ámbito regional se ha estado practicando. Los mayores desafíos se encuentran a nivel nacional. La agenda de la sociedad civil incluye temas polémicos, cobra resultados y genera ruidos, provocando cierta incomodidad en la tradicional relación que la FAO mantiene con los gobiernos. Sin embargo, la nueva FAO tiene como reto encontrar el equilibrio en el trabajo con estos actores y los gobiernos, colocándose en una posición de articulador entre partes, lo que permitiría contribuir a un mayor compromiso de todos en alcanzar la seguridad alimentaria y nutricional en la Región.

Abstract:
Oggetto della tesi è costituito dall'analisi delle problematiche inerenti alla c.d. “dissociazione” della partecipazione azionaria, unitamente ad un tentativo di inquadramento del fenomeno nel nostro sistema giuridico e a una verifica delle soluzioni e dei correttivi che esso consente di delineare o induce a prefigurare. In particolare, nella prima parte della tesi viene fornito un sintetico quadro degli strumenti che consentono di determinare ipotesi di “empty voting” quali, in primis, i contratti derivati, nonché altri strumenti più “tradizionali” come il riporto, il prestito titoli e il leasing di azioni. Nella seconda parte della tesi viene, invece, preso in considerazione il fenomeno dell'empty voting nel suo complesso al fine di fornire un inquadramento dello stesso anche alla luce di istituti tipici del nostro ordinamento (quali il conflitto di interessi del socio ai sensi dell’art. 2373 c.c.). Infine, l’ultima parte della tesi si concentra sul tema della “proprietà nascosta” di azioni partendo dalla discussione di alcuni casi concreti verificatisi in ordinamenti diversi ed aventi tutti come denominatore comune la creazione di una partecipazione rilevante con aggiramento degli obblighi di disclosure oppure delle previsioni in materia di OPA obbligatoria. Inquadrato il problema vengono quindi analizzate le norme vigenti in materia di obblighi di comunicazione di partecipazioni rilevanti e offerte pubbliche di acquisto obbligatorie.
The research aims to study the empty voting. Particularly, the use of derivative instruments and other financial instruments allows investors to decouple economic ownership of shares from voting rights. Such phenomenon is also referred to as the "new vote buying" and differs from the classical issue of the sale and purchase of voting rights (separate from the ownership of the shares), since the empty voter does not technically acquire the right to vote, but is able to cover (by using complex financial instruments) the risks associated with an equity investment in a company: in such a case an investor holds more voting rights than economic ownership. In other cases, an investor may hold more economic ownership than voting rights, but may have the possibility to exercise de facto the voting rights if needed: this situation is referred to as “hidden (morphable) ownership". First of all the analysis will be carried out by verifying the possible benefits and costs which may arise from the empty voting. In addition, it will be ascertained whether there is a general provision under Italian law which prohibits the use of financial instruments in order to decouple voting rights from economic ownership or whether the empty voting is not per se forbidden but may be considered unlawful when it falls within the scope of application of the provisions governing the conflict of interest of shareholders.

Abstract:
This chapter explores how societal democratisation can be studied by using linguistic big data. More specifically, we are interested in establishing whether it is possible to see how the gradual democratisation of society affected the employment relationship in nineteenth-century Britain by examining changes in the frequency of constructions where different referential terms for both employers and employees were used in the British parliament. We pay particular attention to the gradual waning of the master–servant institution, whose demise can be directly linked to the increased independence of labourers from their employers. We will also briefly explore how data anomalies or outliers can potentially be used as a heuristic when identifying events of historical interest and importance.

Abstract:
AbstractWhat role does knowledge play in expertise development in professional domains, and to what extent does that domain-specific knowledge interact with individuals’ strategic abilities and their deep-seated interest in a profession? These are central questions explored in this chapter that positions expertise and its development within the framework of the Model of Domain Learning or MDL. The MDL is a theoretical model used to capture systematic changes in knowledge, strategic abilities, and interest that individuals undergo as they progress from their first exposure to a professional domain to subsequent stages of competence and, perhaps, expertise. After elucidating the concepts of professions, expertise, and knowledge, the author surveys the MDL’s contributions to understanding expertise development. The chapters then culminate with an exploration of societal changes that may have a significant bearing on the nature of expertise and its future development.

Abstract:
AbstractDisruptive societal changes following from emerging science and technology have recently led to a growing interest in developing ethical frameworks. Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) is such a framework that aims to improve the relationship between science and society. Now a decade after its conceptualization, it still seems to suffer from conceptual unclarity and lack of implementation. Since responsibility in research and innovation practice remains as important as ever, we propose to revive the normative potential of RRI by approaching it as a matter of collective democratic experimentation. To further develop this approach, we propose a pragmatist conceptualization inspired by John Dewey, his work on democracy as an ethical way of life and his attention to the contextual nature of responsibility. Furthermore, we show how his interest in social inquiring publics provides a particularly apt foothold from which to operationalize collective democratic experimentation with RRI. We will illustrate the utility of this approach, with specific attention to the social, experimental and public character of social inquiry, by connecting it to the recent call to use social labs methodology to experiment with RRI. From this we draw lessons for future collective democratic experimentation with responsibility in research and innovation practice.

Abstract:
The “science-society connect” deals with “transferring the benefits of scientific work to meet existing and emerging societal needs”. In other words, it talks about taking the science to the society so that the society can benefit from scientific research and scientific temper can be inculcated in citizens. The “science-science connect” refers to “sharing of ideas and resources within the knowledge ecosystem”. Though traditionally, science communication happened using journals and conferences but with the penetration of social media, it has grown beyond these boundaries. Therefore, the use of social media for diffusion of scholarly communication into the society has drawn interest across the world. This work presents an exploratory analysis of effectiveness of Twitter as a medium for diffusion of scholarly communication beyond science-science networks.

Abstract:
During the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic which has transformed the way we used to live, learning has been reshaped through MOOCs which aim to offer interactive online courses that vary in anything and length seem to revolutionize the education system all over the globe. Therefore, universities are developing new online platforms to go beyond their academic responsibilities with MOOCs to promote understanding of how universities could better fulfil the societal expectations of the people who want to learn anything in their own pace and interest. This new type of education allows people free access and unrestricted participation to any course of their choice. The main aim of this research paper is to investigate the impact of MOOCs on societal inclusion and offer practical suggestions to include high-quality MOOCs on societal learning. 70 research participants responded the questions in the workshop. These questions are related to the analysis of online learning environments and the awareness on social responsibility of research participants. After getting seminar about societal values and projects, research participants reflected their ideas and experiences in MOOCs, online learning and social responsibility learning. In this respect, they pointed out how they enhance their learning and societal values to the societal practices. Research relies on qualitative research design. In addition to this, as the results of the study were gathered from the workshop in societal research and development of the center, this research study become road map for the future direction of higher education in the digitalization and social responsibility role.

Abstract:
Abstract The assessment and management of risk has been a matter of public and political interest for some decades. The growing industry and the growing number of industrial products and services and the associated transport of goods have presented more and more partly unfamiliar hazards with which industry itself, but also the population and governments have had to cope. The Netherlands is one of the countries that struggled most explicitly with this problem. In the Netherlands risk is controlled by setting quantitative performance standards for the industry and for the spatial planners. These standards are expressed in limiting values for individual and societal risk. The standards are used in the policy to reduce the number of people exposed to the effects of an accident. In principle, the societal risk for each new land-use plan should be re-calculated. Since this is proving increasingly cumbersome for planning agencies, several methods have been developed to determine the effects of new land-use plans on the societal risk. These methods give the uniform population density from a certain distance around the establishment at which the indicative limit for the societal risk is not exceeded. Correction factors are determined for non-uniform population distributions around the establishment, non-continuous residence times and alternative societal risk limits. Using these methods allows decision-making without the necessity of repeating quantified risk analyses for each alternative proposal.

Abstract:
Introducing the concept of site has always been an essential, but tricky facet of beginning design education. The myriad intricacies and externalities that a discussion of site pres¬ents creates the challenge as to where to begin and how to introduce the involved layers. Education philosopher Maxine Greene, however, noted that “when [students] care about what they are doing, they are likely to go in search of mean¬ings, to begin learning to learn.” How then ought we enfold student interest in the concept of site in a way that expands preconceived notions of architectural agency? This paper explores a curricular experiment and presents the unfolding of an introductory architectural design studio which for the majority of the course decenters architectural design. Instead, the course establishes a foundation of extended urban, societal, and ecological investigations. As a part of a broader school-wide mission-statement, this approach seeks to infuse broader notions of architectural agency and students’ investigation within foundational education.

Abstract:
There is increasing interest in promoting participatory democracy, in particular by allowing voting by mail or internet and through random-sample elections. A pernicious concern, though, is that of vote buying, which occurs when a bad actor seeks to buy ballots, paying someone to vote against their own intent. This becomes possible whenever a voter is able to sell evidence of which way she voted. We show how to thwart vote buying through decoy ballots, which are not counted but are indistinguishable from real ballots to a buyer. We show that an Election Authority can significantly reduce the power of vote buying through a small number of optimally distributed decoys, and model societal processes by which decoys could be distributed.

Abstract:
This project is part of larger European level integrated care project led by HU University of Applied Sciences.Background: In Finland, the integration of social and health care services has taken centre stage in both the policy and practice arenas. The needs of many client groups, for example mental health client, older people and families of child, are many and varied.For example, poor mental health considerably impairs well-being of the population and has considerable economic consequences like absence from work, early retirement and productive losses. Efforts to move towards integrated care in social and health care have been met with increased interest and enthusiasm in recent years. This will increase the focus to improve care and population health while containing costs. However, there is a need to better understand different integrated care approaches for social and health care and guide future implementation of new integrated care models.It is now important to move towards integrated care for many client groups e.g. mental disorders. In this, professionals with different training backgrounds co-ordinate their expertise in providing care for theirshared clients. It provides a safe nexus for the exchange of knowledge and opinions, as well as a framework for reaching a consensus about appropriate health care delivery for a particular client or client cohort. The client should have an immediate access to integrated care, with a focus on rehabilitation in patient’s social roles.Aim: Support societal participation, quality of live and reduce care demand and costs in social and health care client, for example mental health client through integration of healthcare and welfare services.

Abstract:
In recent years, pension funds have experienced a noteworthy global shift towards integrating sustainability considerations into their investment strategies. This shift demonstrates the recognition of potential risks and opportunities associated with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. This paper critically reviews pension fund sustainability metrics and reporting systems, focusing on the growing interest among pension funds worldwide in incorporating ESG factors into their investment strategies. It explores the motivations driving pension funds to invest in sustainable assets, the challenges they encounter, and the potential benefits associated with such investments. The findings indicate that pension fund investments in sustainable assets can significantly contribute to promoting sustainable development and responsible investment practices. By incorporating ESG factors into their investment strategies, pension funds can effectively manage risks, enhance long-term returns, and generate positive societal impact. However, to maximize the potential benefits of sustainable investing for pension funds and society at large, challenges related to measurement, limited investment diversity and expertise, as well as the standardization of metrics and reporting systems for sustainable investing, need to be addressed.

Full text
Abstract:
There is significant interest in sustainable food production practices in Canada and worldwide due to the challenges caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, land degradation, and climate change. Sustainable food production is a food system that provides affordable, nutritious food while preserving and restoring natural resources and generating robust ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, water filtration, and retention. This report explores multiple routes to foster improved social, ecological, and economic impacts associated with alternative practices promoting sustainable food production. It identifies core problems that prevent agricultural systems and their food chains from implementing (more) sustainable practices. The report mobilizes a Theory of Change (TOC) to outline possible interventions and metrics to implement (community-based) interventions to promote shared principles of sustainable production and create communities of practice. The TOC was developed in consultation with a set of actors in the food chain (including farmers, financial institutions, municipal governments, food processors, NGOs and industry associations) during a nine-month research intervention in Canada (2023), complemented by a literature review. Thanks to this co-creation process, the proposed interventions and metrics to measure and track improvements at the farm and societal levels presented in this report are outcomes-based and bottom-up. This enables agricultural communities and actors in the food chain to pursue alternative routes to improve outcomes. The report also discusses incentives to pursue sustainable food production, either explicit (e.g. monetary payments, contractual clauses) or implicit (e.g. social norms, cultural values, network-based engagement of food chain actors). Lastly, it outlines a potential research design to test the suggested interventions, metrics, and incentives in a Randomized Control Trial (RCT).

Full text
Abstract:
In recent years, mission-oriented approaches have received growing interest in science, technology and innovation (STI) policies against the background of two developments. First, while so-called “horizontal” or “generic” approaches to research, technology and innovation policies have largely been successful in improving the general innovation performance or the rate of innovation, there are perceived limitations in terms of insufficiently addressing the direction of technological change and innovation. Second, “grand societal challenges” emerged on policy agendas, such as climate change, security, food and energy supply or ageing populations, which call for thematic orientation and the targeting of research and innovation efforts. In addition, the apparent success of some mission-oriented initiatives in countries like China, South Korea, and the United States in boosting technological development for purposes of strengthening competitiveness contributed to boosting the interest in targeted and directional government interventions in STI. Against the backdrop of this renewed interest in mission-oriented STI policy, the OECD has addressed the growing importance of this topic and launched a project looking into current experiences with Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy (MOIP). The present study on MOIP in Austria was commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Energy, Mobility, Environment, Innovation and Technologiy (BMK) and comprises the Austrian contributions to this OECD project. The study aims at contributing Austrian experiences to the international debate and to stimulate a national debate on MOIP.

Full text
Abstract:
Recent questions surrounding the repatriation, rehabilitation, and reintegration of those who traveled to join the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the reintegration of violent extremists in conflict zones including Somalia, Nigeria, Libya, and Mali, and the impending release of scores of homegrown violent extremists from prisons in the United States and Europe have heightened policymaker and practitioner interest in violent extremist disengagement and reintegration (VEDR). Although a number of programs to reintegrate violent extremists have emerged both within and outside of conflict zones, significant questions remain regarding their design, implementation, and effectiveness. To advance our understanding of VEDR, this report draws insights from a review of the literature on ex-combatant disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR). The literature on DDR typically adopts a “whole of society” approach, which helps us to understand how systemic factors may influence VEDR at the individual level and outcomes at the societal level. Despite the important differences that will be reviewed, the international community’s thirty-year experience with DDR—which includes working with violent extremists—offers important insights for our understanding of VEDR.

Full text
Abstract:
Over the last few years, the topic of "stranded assets" resulting from environment-related risk factors has loomed larger. These factors include the effects of physical climate change as well as societal and regulatory responses to climate change. Despite the increasing prominence of these stranded assets as a topic of significant interest to academics, governments, financial institutions, and corporations, there has been little work specifically looking at this issue in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This is a significant omission, given the region's exposure to environment-related risk factors, the presence of extensive fossil fuel resources that may become "unburnable" given carbon budget constraints, and the particular challenges and opportunities facing lower-income and emerging economies in LAC.This report includes an extensive literature review, reviews of case studies, in-depth interviews, extensive informal consultation, and a survey instrument to identify gaps in the stranded asset literature. The report builds on work undertaken in 2015 by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) on the issue of stranded assets. It aims to provide a deeper understanding of the issue and the existing literature about it, as well as highlight opportunities for future work, especially in LAC.

Abstract:
This electronic manual presents a number of theoretical and methodological tools based on the key concept: “societal (social) metabolism.” In summary, the synthetic concept of societal metabolism goes beyond the perspective of traditional social sciences by contextualizing the biophysical dimension of metabolic exchange between society and nature. Distancing from reductionist approaches, the interdisciplinary concept of societal metabolism recognizes the importance of mutual connections and interactions of factors of material and social exchange, within the framework of established individual and group social practices in the life of society. The electronic manual will be useful to undergraduate and graduate students studying social and political sciences, and to anyone interested in the theory and practice of applying interdisciplinary approaches to social science problems.

Full text
Abstract:
Orchestrated irrationality in our public discourse is produced by technologically enhanced and commercially purposed atomization and tribalism. Public discourse now leans away from a humane, free, and reasoned political rationality and towards self-interested, calculative, herd conformism. The bulls and bears of consumer society have largely displaced the civic logic of the liberal democratic pursuit of the common good. The power interests that govern global consumerism are enhanced by subordinating the common good ends of genuinely political life to the self-interested and profit driven dynamics of the market. Orchestrated irrationality in our public discourse makes politics into a meaningless theatre of incommensurate tribal interest narratives, which is a convenient distraction from the collaborative consolidation of market power and state control. This orchestrated irrationality can only be combatted by seeking to de-atomize citizens and de-tribalize the public square in order to recover the priority of political life over market and authoritarian power in our public discourse. That is, a postcapitalist civilization that is oriented to a genuinely political and universally moral rationality must replace the present global order. Once we can identify the problem and the direction of cure for orchestrated irrationality, we can then take steps towards a different civilizational life-world.

Full text
Abstract:
This rapid review highlights and explores the literature on the just energy transition in South Africa. In simple terms, a just energy transition can be defined as where the process of shifting energy systems is made as fair and just as possible (Project 90 by 2030, 2019). However, the term is not rigidly defined and can mean different things to different people and elicits a wide range of responses depending on the contexts within which it is utilised and the interests of the groups involved. This is a vast and complex topic, with a large and growing literature base and considerable interest by donors, government, civil society organisations (CSOs) and industry in South Africa. Hence, this rapid review only provides a snapshot of the literature identified.

Full text
Abstract:
Under the current legal paradigm, the rights to privacy and data protection provide natural persons with subjective rights to protect their private interests, such as related to human dignity, individual autonomy and personal freedom. In principle, when data processing is based on non-personal or aggregated data or when such data pro- cesses have an impact on societal, rather than individual interests, citizens cannot rely on these rights. Although this legal paradigm has worked well for decades, it is increasingly put under pressure because Big Data processes are typically based indis- criminate rather than targeted data collection, because the high volumes of data are processed on an aggregated rather than a personal level and because the policies and decisions based on the statistical correlations found through algorithmic analytics are mostly addressed at large groups or society as a whole rather than specific individuals. This means that large parts of the data-driven environment are currently left unregu- lated and that individuals are often unable to rely on their fundamental rights when addressing the more systemic effects of Big Data processes. This article will discuss how this tension might be relieved by turning to the notion ‘quality of life’, which has the potential of becoming the new standard for the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) when dealing with privacy related cases.
