This paper analyzes the business lobbying in the Mexican Congress during LXII Legislature, with Taxes and Telecommunication reform legislative processes as case studies. The argument is as follows: the signing of Pacto por México formed a stable legislative coalition between government and opposition, against which the business groups failed to articulate an effective strategy. In fact, their participation was isolated and contradictory, therefore their influence was limited.

Legislative gridlock is often viewed as a uniquely democratic phenomenon. The institutional checks and balances that produce gridlock are absent from authoritarian systems, leading many observers to romanticize “authoritarian efficiency” and policy dynamism. A unique data set from the Chinese case demonstrates that authoritarian regimes can have trouble passing laws and changing policies—48% of laws are not passed within the period specified in legislative plans, and about 12% of laws take more than 10 years to pass. This article develops a theory that relates variation in legislative outcomes to the absence of division within the ruling coalition and citizen attention shocks. Qualitative analysis of China’s Food Safety Law, coupled with shadow case studies of two other laws, illustrates the plausibility of the theoretical mechanisms. Division and public opinion play decisive roles in authoritarian legislative processes.

Prompts are assessed in terms of their ability to convey an understanding of the task to those with a severe mental handicap. On this basis, it is suggested that the most effective strategy for teaching manipulative tasks to this group may be one which combines stimulus and response prompts. Two case studies compared this procedure with two procedures which used response prompts only. The combined procedure was more effective in both studies. The studies also demonstrated the applicability of stimulus prompts to teaching the motor, as well as the visual, components of manipulative tasks.

This chapter presents an introductory and exploratory overview of the history and present state of business groups in the Netherlands, with an emphasis on large business in the twentieth century. Statistical data and overviews are complemented by case studies, in order to sketch the diversity in business groups among Dutch businesses. Although business groups were present throughout modern Dutch business history, they were never the dominant organizational form. Although some large multinationals can be classified as business groups and many smaller family businesses are business groups, little attention has been paid to the organizational form in the literature. The chapter cannot document general motivations for Dutch firms to opt for a business group structure but presents several case-specific and idiosyncratic reasons.

According to scholars of resource dependency, foreign funding can weaken rather than strengthen civil society abroad, ultimately impeding its effectiveness. Yet the spate of recent “democratic revolutions” in semiauthoritarian, postcommunist states suggests that pumping foreign money into the nongovernmental sphere can be an effective strategy. In this paper Brian Grodsky argues that a critical factor in assessing the likelihood that a given organizational movement will succumb to the ills of resource dependency is the type of politicization within that movement. Those organizations composed of members primarily motivated by ideology are logically less likely to succumb to resource dependency than those organizations dominated by political aspirants intent on converting democratization into their own political power. Two case studies, communist-era Poland and contemporary Uzbekistan, provide support for this theory.

Este artículo trata de arrojar luz al enfoque teórico del Decrecimiento, partiendo de la necesidad de realizar estudios de caso que visibilicen experiencias locales que dan respuesta a las reivindicaciones de numerosos movimientos sociales que constituyen iniciativas de movilización y expresan de manera germinal la voluntad de vivir de otra manera, más acorde con criterios de sustentabilidad, de equidad social y de renuncia al exceso, como son los grupos de consumo agroecológico. Para tal fin, este artículo se estructura en seis partes. En la primera parte, se describe el área de estudio; en segundo lugar, se discute el debate político-ecológico en torno a la cuestión de la alimentación a nivel globalizado; después se presentan los grupos de consumo agroecológico y algunas de sus peculiaridades en el estado Español y Andalucía, para proponer el estudio de estos grupos como estrategia de empoderamiento y transformación social, así como sus relaciones con los movimientos sociales y los paradigmas de la Soberanía Alimentaria y la Agroecología. Finalmente, se concluye con una síntesis de los temas planteados. Dicha investigación está vinculada a la realización de la tesis doctoral en Ciencias Económicas y Empresariales de la Universidad de Granada a través del Departamento de Economía Aplicada. This paper attempts to shed light on the theoretical approach of Degrowth , based on the need for case studies that illustrate local experiences that respond to the demands of numerous social movements that making visible efforts of social mobilization that express a germinal way of living differently, more in line with sustainability criteria, social equity, and waiving the excess, as agrecological consumer groups.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings Effective strategy implementation can be helped or impeded by an organization's use of metaphors and other figurative language. Firms must consider standardized or more targeted approaches to different organizational groups to metaphor usage. This is likely to impact on the capacity of such linguistic devices to determine whether employees embrace or resist the strategy being introduced. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Case studies of judicial-political interaction during two periods, 1969-1976 in Germany and 1981-1985 in France, illustrate two general points about constitutional politics in both countries. First, constitutional courts are powerful policy makers whose impact on legislative processes and outcomes is multidimensional. These courts are more than simply negative legislators, empowered to veto legislative provisions. They also exercise creative legislative powers: to recast policy-making environments, to encourage certain legislative solutions while undermining others, and to have the precise terms of their decisions written directly into legislative provisions. Second, governments and parliamentarians are often led to behave judicially, to debate and make meaningful decisions about the constitutionality of legislation. In France and Germany, both the making of public policy and the construction of constitutional law are products of sustained and intimate judicial-political interaction.
