Managerialism: an ideal type

Bureaucracy: Weber’s Ideal Type

The term “bureaucracy” has never been so precisely defined than in the writings of Max Weber. Such precision results in a useful and enduring conceptualization of the term. This paper examines four essential characteristics of Weber’s ideal type bureaucracy; defining them and their technical advantages in the context of certain overarching sociological trends. These trends are impersonality, ef...

Feminist Social Movement Organizations: the Construction of an Ideal Type

Biprojectivty of Banach algebras modulo an ideal

In this paper, we introduce the new concept of biprojectivity of a Banach algebra modulo an ideal, as a generalization of this notion in the classical case. By using it , we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for contractibility of Banach algebras modulo an ideal. In particular we characterize the contractibility of quotient Banach algebras. Also we study the relationship between t...

Coherence in amalgamated algebra along an ideal

Let $f: Arightarrow B$ be a ring homomorphism and let $J$ be an ideal of $B$. In this paper, we investigate the transfer of the property of coherence to the amalgamation $Abowtie^{f}J$. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for $Abowtie^{f}J$ to be a coherent ring.

Managerialism in Motion: Lessons from Oaxaca

Non-governmental organisations operate as nodes in networks of ‘managerialism’ – bundles of often Northern, corporate-inspired knowledge and practices that promote ‘good governance’ under neoliberalism. Managerialism is double-sided: it can guard against corruption and help ensure accountability, but it can also be culturally disjunctive, reinforcing North–South power imbalances while diffusing...
