This essay takes up the question of transmission in the context of politics and projects of memory from the last decade. I have dubbed this period “the decade of memory, of remembrance”. The first decade of the 21st century saw an exponential growth in digital platforms, focused on catastrophes and conflicts in the previous century as well as more recent events. Public, academic, and institutional initiatives were accompanied by a public and private support to recover the memory of the past in Spain and Europe. This recovery effort placed intangible heritage, and memory at the centre of contemporary historical efforts. Our work and references are analysed from the projects of the European Observatory on Memories (EUROM) criteria, objectives but also technical tools.

Policy Setting

Smart specialization strategies represent public policy initiatives to develop regions based on new combinations of knowledge and industries. The aim of this article is to enrich the theory and practice of smart specialization strategies (S3) by integrating the conceptualization of knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship (KIE). We propose that knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship is necessary in order to specify how public and private support of KIE firms can be beneficial to develop new knowledge relevant to the fulfillment of specific sustainable development goals. We did so by further developing a conceptual model of innovation governance routines by integrating sustainability goals. We also illustrated our conceptual model through two case studies from the Swedish maritime cluster. By extrapolating from the combination of the conceptual model and two case studies, we make three propositions about the different strategic roles that KIE firms can play within a broader S3 policy setting, and in such a way as to promote sustainability-related outcomes.

Private Support

Today's world faces unprecedented complexities. Governments, businesses, and nonprofits have far to go in solving these problems. The economic recession of 2007 exposed a significant decline in public and private support for social services (Pitt- Catsouphes & Berzin, 2015) and the need for social workers to facilitate new ways of addressing the complex, interwoven problems of poverty, racism, social inequity, and discrimination. Now more than ever, social workers need to understand how social services can utilize new strategies with new solutions to address these issues (Berzin, 2012). ). Shuman & Fuller (2005) coined the phrase “revolution will not be funded,” indicating that nonprofits all over the country must devise new incomegenerating strategies to empower disadvantaged groups. Although the media reports that the U.S. economy has rebounded, foundations and governments still expect social service nonprofits to leverage new forms of revenue to fulfill their missions. There is also some uncertainty about how nonprofits will be funded long term as local, state, and federal government dollars dry up. In addition, some claim that social service organizations develop complex programs that do not match the interests of funders (Foster, Kim, & Christensen, 2009).

Following WWII, America committed itself to a system of mass liberal education with a core component of the humanities, a system designed to improve the quality of people's lives and strengthen the social bond. This linkage of private and public ends was both symbolized and secured by the combination of public and private support for higher education. Today, the American system is in jeopardy because the private and public entities that support the university have largely turned away from the educational mission even as they have dramatically increased their support for research and other activities. The resulting alteration in the character of the university necessarily comes at a cost to the democratic aspirations and the vision of human flourishing that higher education has traditionally served.

The 1942 creation of the National Astrophysical Observatory of Tonantzintla, Puebla, marked the beginning of the later establishment of modern astrophysics in Mexico. This advancement was made possible through the support given by the Harvard College Observatory to a group of young Mexican scientists who worked very hard to integrate their country into the international scientific community. Despite the efforts made by Mexican politicians and astronomers before 1940 to build scientific institutions to promote the progress of science in the country, public and private support was sporadic, fragmented, weak and directionless. What happened in the 1940s that made it possible to overcome these obstacles? According to this analysis, success can be explained as a consequence of the close interaction between Harlow Shapley and Luis E. Erro under very singular historical circumstances. Since their collaboration took place within the context of the Second World War, the influence of geopolitical affairs must be underlined. As a case study, the essay highlights the presence of social and historical factors that particularized the process of more globalized transference of modern science outside Western Europe and the United States. El establecimiento de la astronomíía moderna en Mééxico fue una historia de desventuras. A pesar de los sucesivos esfuerzos iniciados en 1842 para erigir un observatorio nacional que promoviese el progreso de la ciencia astronóómica, el respaldo púúblico y privado fue esporáádico, fragmentario, déébil y erráático. Con la fundacióón del Observatorio Astronóómico Nacional en 1878, las condiciones para hacer estudios astronóómicos mejoraron; sin embargo, las circunstancias econóómicas, polííticas e intelectuales de la éépoca no fueron las adecuadas para que los astróónomos locales se incorporaran al vigoroso proceso de crecimiento y consolidacióón de la astrofíísica moderna. Esto cambióó apenas en 1942, con la fundacióón del Observatorio Astrofíísico de Tonantzintla. En esa oportunidad se sentaron las bases para el establecimiento de la astrofíísica en Mééxico. La construccióón de este observatorio fue posible gracias a la solidaridad del director del Observatorio de la Universidad de Harvard, Harlow Shapley, y al apoyo incondicional del gobierno de Mééxico a un grupo de jóóvenes cientííficos mexicanos, encabezado por Luis Enrique Erro, que trabajaron arduamente para actualizar la astronomíía local. Dicho proceso tuvo lugar entre 1938 y 1942, en medio de una situacióón interna muy particular de la políítica mexicana y de los problemas geopolííticos planteados por la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

The development and exploitation of new scientific and technological knowhow is a prime engine of economic growth. Different innovation systems have developed different approaches to this problem and have built upon varying combinations of public and private support for Research and Development (R&D) over time. In this context, inclusive approach to research and new technology intermediaries play an important brokering and entrepreneurial role. This chapter aims to understand the inclusive approach to business research, review new technologies, and their applicability to business research. The study responds to the need to gain a better understanding of possible ways to strengthen the capacity of business research to generate value and thereby bridge the gap between theory and practice. The discussion presented in this chapter offers a number of useful lessons for the development of new inclusive policy instruments to benefit the field of research in general and business research in particular.

The conditional legitimacy of claims made by mothers and other kin in South Africa

Do So

Because redistribution concerns ‘who gets what and from whom’, redistributive conflicts revolve around ‘who should get what and from whom’. Individuals as well as states distinguish between deserving and undeserving claimants. People may favour people they know over strangers, kin over non-kin, or some kin over other kin. This paper uses data from survey experiments to show that young South Africans distinguish between deserving and undeserving claimants on both the state and kin. The hierarchy of desert with respect to public welfare is clear and intuitive, with people who cannot look after themselves being considered more deserving than those who can. Deservingness with respect to different categories of kin – i.e. the ‘radius’ of responsibility for kin – varies less markedly, but with some variation between racial or cultural groups. Deservingness with respect to both public and private support is affected dramatically by the attitude and reciprocity of the claimant, with the important exceptions of mothers who should be supported unconditionally. Public and private support appear to be complements not substitutes for each other, in that people who believe that the state should support people in need are also more likely to believe that kin should do so also.

AbstractRefugee women from the Near and Middle East face specific challenges when entering the Austrian labour market. Particularly gender-based factors, including care and reproductive work, exert pressure on these women and constitute major hurdles for successful entry into employment in Austria. Based on nine qualitative interviews with refugee women who swiftly gained entry to the labour market as well as ten qualitative interviews with experts from public and private support organisations, we investigate refugee women’s social and cultural capital as well as the individual agencies that foster paths into the labour market. We introduce the concept of enablement as the process of gathering the preconditions for overcoming the challenges that arise on that path. Finally, we illuminate the ways in which the three dimensions of individual, relational and institutional enablement interrelate and shape individual agency with regard to labour market integration.
