Purpose Post-crisis renewal discourse (Ulmer et al., 2007) is one form of communication that stakeholders may use as they attempt to organize for resilience. The purpose of this paper propose extending Discourse of Renewal Theory to explain how it could enact a different kind of resilience than scholars typically consider. Organizational resilience strategies often focus on the recovery or prevention stages of crisis management. Under conditions of persistent threat, it would be more productive for renewal discourse to emphasize greater preparedness. Design/methodology/approach To illustrate the need for this kind of theorizing, the author analyzes a case study that follows the public relations efforts of Canadian energy company Enbridge, Inc., in the aftermath of the 2010 Kalamazoo River oil spill. Findings By the criteria of Discourse of Renewal Theory, Enbridge attempted a renewal strategy, but it failed. By other criteria, however, it succeeded: it created the opportunity for richer dialogue among stakeholders about their interdependence and their competing interests. Originality/value By considering how elements of the resilience process may vary, this paper offers resources for more nuanced theory-building and theory-testing related to organizational and system-level resilience.

Abstract The relevance of public relations (PR) efforts of scientific organizations for public communication of science is increasingly recognized. PR departments are not mere mediators between scientists and journalists but represent the stakeholder interests of their organizations in the public sphere and are communicative actors themselves. Previous Taiwanese studies focused on university PR in the educational context, whereas the potential function in the communication of research and scientific knowledge received less attention. This study explores how PR departments of academic organizations in Taiwan view their role in the public communication of science. Insights from eleven semistructured interviews with PR officers suggest that public relations departments of academic organizations in Taiwan only half-heartedly contribute to the communication of science. Another interesting finding is that even in the era of social media science, PR still relies heavily on journalism, which in Taiwan lacks professionalism in the communication of science. We suggest a more active role of academic organizations in the public communication of science, pursuing not only marketing or self-presentation goals, but also assuming genuine responsibility for public information about research and scientific knowledge.

 A globalização ampliou a participação de outros atores nas relações internacionais, tais como governos subnacionais e diversas instituições não governamentais (ONGs, empresas, universidades etc.). Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar, com um estudo de caso da inserção internacional de Uberlândia-MG, que uma cidade pode se internacionalizar com a participação de diversos atores, por meio de uma governança multinível. Ademais, tomando-se como referência a definição de cidade internacional, de Panayotis Soldatos – que aponta ser a paradiplomacia pública um dos critérios para se chegar a esta característica –, demonstra-se, também, o fato de que Uberlândia-MG vem avançando na sua internacionalização, mesmo sem a existência de uma paradiplomacia pública. Este trabalho também utiliza o método prospectivo de Michel Godet, a fim de criar um simples cenário de médio prazo para a inserção internacional de Uberlândia-MG, baseando-se nos chamados “fatos portadores de futuro”. Nesse sentido, ao se observar as ações que já vêm sendo colocadas em prática, por diversos atores, ao longo dos últimos 18 anos – ressaltando a criação, em 2017, de uma Câmara Técnica para fins de internacionalização, numa instituição municipal não governamental (o CODEN), com a participação do setor privado, das universidades, da sociedade civil e do governo municipal –, é possível visualizar um cenário de evolução, cada vez maior, dessa internacionalização, até o final da próxima década. Afinal, isso criou uma pressão natural sobre o governo municipal, a fim de que ele começasse a participar, efetivamente, dessa inserção internacional, por meio de uma paradiplomacia pública que também fortalecerá esse processo.     Abstract: The globalization process has expanded the participation of other actors in the international relations, such as subnational governments and many non-governmental institutions (NGOs, private corporations, universities etc.). In this sense, the objective of this paper is to demonstrate – taking a case study about the international insertion of Uberlândia City, in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil – that a city can be International with the participation of many actors, through multi-level governance. Moreover, taking as reference Panayotis Soldatos´ definition of international city – which considers the public paradiplomacy as one of all factors needed to reach that characteristic –, it is also demonstrated the fact that Uberlândia City has evolved in its process of internationalization, even without the existence of a public paradiplomacy. This paper also utilizes some basic principles from the Michel Godet´s prospective method, in order to elaborate a simple mid-term scenario for the internationalization of Uberlândia City, based on the “fact bearer of future”. Then, observing many actions that have already been put into practice by several actors along the last 18 years – highlighting the creation of a Technical Chamber for internationalization, inside a local institution (CODEN), in 2017, which is composed by private sector, universities, civil society and local government –, it is possible to elaborate a scenario that indicates the evolution of this internationalization until the end of the next decade. Eventually, it was created a natural pressure on the municipal government to participate effectively in the process of international insertion, elaborating a public paradiplomacy, which will further strengthen this process.         Keywords: Subnational actors, internationalization of cities, public paradiplomacy, multi-level governance, Uberlândia City.     Recebido em: agosto/2018.Aprovado em: novembro/2018.
