This chapter provides a general overview of the volume. It highlights some historical and political features of Mexico, particularly those related to the country’s recent democratisation and economic liberalisation. The chapter underlines the central role that the state and its federal administration have played in terms of producing policy analysis and leading policymaking processes, and how this has in turn constrained the development of policy analytical capacities among other public actors such as the legislative power and subnational governments. The chapter then describes the contents of the book, outlining the main topics addressed by the various authors and how they contribute to increasing our knowledge about how policy analysis is conducted in Mexico.

General Overview

Abstract Plant vibrations is a wide subject that covers topics ranging from the swaying of trees under wind to elastic waves made by an insect on a leaf to communicate with its neighbors. For this reason, the state of the art is somehow fragmented over several communities. This review aims at giving a general overview of the main results and challenges in plant vibrations. Several scales are considered, from the very small and local, in leaves or fruits, to large canopies of many plants.

State Functions

Abstract This article contributes to the discussion on public administration in Brazil. It examines the differences between the four functions of the state (basic functions, welfare, infrastructure and development, and emerging functions), based on the positions and careers of public servants. The data were collected in 2014 using a survey with public managers from different agencies of the Brazilian federal administration. The results point to distinctions regarding the roles played by middle managers, considering their distribution by state functions, profile, and activities. In a historical perspective, although there are basic functions that constitute the state, the creation of new careers and the recruitment of staff in the bureaucracy resulted in unequal development of the different state functions, generating imbalance and asymmetries. Also, emerging functions are generating new, more flexible, and dynamic ways for managers to work, which have renewed the Brazilian bureaucracy, albeit in a limited and heterogeneous way.

The Supreme Court

The Article researches the interaction between the jurisdiction and the legislative power in Republic of Bulgaria in 2018. On the basis of investigation of concrete acts of the parliament and decisions of interpre­tation, issued by the General Assemble of the Civil and the Commercial Colleges the influence of the laws over the decisions of the Supreme Court of Justice and concrete decisions issued by the court are revealed and the influence of concrete cases over the development of law. The two powers of the state are fighting for predominance in particular in the year of 2018 and in par­ticular on the field of the civil and com­mercial law. In some directions the legis­lative power is stronger than the court, but in other directions the court predominates the parliament. The interaction ends in the final analysis with the victory of the court when it makes decision by a concrete case.

Forms Of Knowledge

How do ‘we’ know our fellow citizens? This paper considers two processes where recognition occurs in the Canadian context: passports and naturalisation. Using document and policy analysis we argue there are two major forms of knowledge called upon to sort insiders from outsiders. Mechanical knowledge involves tests and evaluations driven by document-matching, biometrics and fact-checking exercises. Moral knowledge concerns the kind of lives we live among our peers and our intentions towards the political community. We note that in the Canadian case tensions exist between expectation and reality around citizen recognition. The state increasingly aspires to know the citizen through procedural checks or material observation yet encounters limitations that require some form of interpersonal knowledge rooted in human-to-human relationships. Drawing on these processes, in conclusion we suggest that how knowledge about citizenship is framed serves to sort outsiders from insiders, endorses specific behaviours over others, and empowers the state to redefine the meaning of citizenship.  Full text available at: https://doi.org/10.22215/rera.v11i1.257
