"We forgot about the donkeys!" An institutional analysis of the shift in animal welfare from direct implementation towards advocacy-based programming.

Shifts from direct implementation to advocacy-based programming have been documented across many non-governmental organisation (NGO) sectors, including animal welfare. Semi-structured interviews with 32 staff from different positions within animal welfare NGOs explored recent programming changes. Maintaining a balance between direct implementation and advocacy-based activities emerged as a strong theme. The findings suggest that risks are associated with both the direct implementation status quo and transitioning to an advocacy-based focus. Risks of the former include treating symptoms rather than root causes of welfare problems. Organisational change can be disruptive and necessitates realignment of core competences, in turn influencing NGO mission. Identified risks of transition include loss of individuals whose values fail to align with new programming directions, increased upwards accountability requirements for accessing institutional donors and difficulties when phasing out direct implementation approaches. Whilst having to be dynamic, NGOs need to evaluate the risks associated with programming decisions, considering their vision, mission and staff identity in order to ensure that welfare programming is as effective as possible.

Institutional boundaries and the challenges of aligning science advice and policy dynamics: the UK and Canada in the time of COVID-19.

This comparison of institutions of science advice during COVID-19 between the Westminster systems of England/UK and Ontario/Canada focuses on the role of science in informing public policy in two central components of the response to the pandemic: the adoption of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) and the procuring of vaccines. It compares and contrasts established and purpose-built bodies with varying degrees of independence from the political executive, and shows how each attempted to manage the tensions between scientific and governmental logics of accountability as they negotiated the boundary between science and policy. It uses the comparison to suggest potential lessons about the relative merits and drawbacks of different institutional arrangements for science advice to governments in an emergency.

Sustaining the urban commons in Ghana through decentralized planning.

With global urbanization on the increase and cities now hosting more than half of the planet's population, there are concerns regarding the protection of urban commons as part of sustainability efforts, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Decentralized urban planning is a policy tool and practice that is used to organize urban infrastructure for sustainable development. Yet, how it can be used to sustain the urban commons remains fragmented in the literature. This study reviews and synthesizes urban planning and urban commons literature using the Institutional Analysis and Development Framework and the non-cooperative game theory to identify how urban planning can protect and sustain the urban commons - green commons, land commons, and water commons - in Ghana. The study, based on the determination of different theoretical scenarios for the urban commons, identified that decentralized urban planning can help sustain the urban commons, but it is operationalized in an unfavorable political environment. For green commons, there are competing interests and poor coordination amongst planning institutions, and the absence of self-organizing bodies in managing the use of such resources. For land commons, increased land litigations are characterized by corruption and poor management of land cases in the formal land courts, and despite the existence of self-organizing institutions, these institutions have failed to act responsibly to protect land commons due to the increasing demands and values (profitability) of lands in urban areas. For water commons, urban planning has not been fully decentralized and there is also the absence of self-organizing bodies in urban water use and management. This is coupled with the waning of customary water protection provisions in urban centers. Based on the findings, the study generally proposes institutional strengthening as the bedrock for enhancing the sustainability of the urban commons through urban planning and should therefore be of policy focus moving forward.

Metadata to describe the dataset on involved actors and their roles in the governance of innovative contracts for agri-environmental and climate schemes.

Agri-environmental and climate schemes are an important policy instrument in the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union to maintain biodiversity and safeguard ecosystem services provision for human wellbeing. In the presented dataset, we analyzed 19 innovative contracts for agri-environmental and climate schemes from six European countries, representing examples of four different contract types: result-based, collective, land tenure, and value chain contracts. Our analytical approach comprised three steps: In the first step, we used a method mix combining literature review, web search, and expert consultation to identify potential case examples for the innovative contracts. In the second step, we employed a survey, which was structured in accordance with Ostrom's institutional analysis and development framework to collect detailed information on each contract. The survey was either filled in by us authors, based on information retrieved from websites and other data sources, or by experts directly involved in the different contracts. Based on the collected data, in the third step, an in-depth analysis was conducted on the public, private, and civil actors involved from different governance levels (local, regional, national, or international) and the roles these actors perform in contract governance. The dataset generated through these three steps contains 84 data files, which includes tables, figures, maps, and a text file. The dataset can be re-used by all interested in result-based, collective, land tenure, and value chain contracts for agri-environmental and climate schemes. Each contract is characterized in great detail by 34 variables making the dataset suitable for further institutional and governance analysis.

Policy communities, devolution and policy transfer: The case of alcohol pricing in Wales.

This study investigates how processes of horizontal policy transfer can unfold in the context of devolution, examining the development of legislation on minimum unit pricing (MUP) in Wales, following on from Scotland's earlier policy decision. The study draws on a range of sources, including primary documents, media coverage, and interviews with policy participants. Our analysis identifies the importance of the specific character of Welsh political institutions, particularly the emphasis given to participation and consultation in policymaking. In the case of MUP, we document a process of policy-oriented learning, where policymakers made a concerted effort to draw on an assortment of expertise and experiences, including but not limited to the Scottish model. We also find that the Welsh public health policy community was well placed to support the framing of MUP and to address limitations in policy capacity. The findings hold implications for future studies of learning, devolution, and alcohol policy more generally.

Commoning the governance: a review of literature and the integration of power.

The concept of commoning is continuing to gain scholarly interest, with multiple definitions and interpretations across different research communities. In this article, we define commoning as the actions by groups with shared interests towards creating shared social and relational processes as the basis of governance strategy. Perhaps it can be more simply defined as collective ways of relating and governing. This article addresses two specific gaps in the commoning literature: (1) to bridge disparate strands of literature on commoning by briefly reviewing each and arguing for integration through epistemic pluralism, and (2) to explicitly examine how power is manifest in commoning processes by bringing in a framework on power (i.e., power over, power with, power to, power within) to understand the links between power and commoning governance processes in two case studies. The two cases are tourism governance on Gili Trawangan, Indonesia and aquatic food production systems in Bulacan, Philippines. We preface this analysis with the argument that power is an integral part of the commoning concept, but that it has yet to be analytically integrated to applications of the broader institutional analysis and development framework or within the networks of action situations approach. We argue that by making explicit how an analysis of power can be coupled to a network of action situations analysis in a qualitative way, we are advancing a key feature of the commoning concept, which we introduce as rooted in epistemic and analytical pluralism in the analysis of governance. In the discussion, we expand on how each case study reveals each of the four power dynamics, and how they improve the understanding of commoning as a pluralistic and perhaps bridging analytical concept.

Teleworking as a work modality: reflections from institutional analysis.

This opinion article addresses teleworking, which has gained momentum in Brazil due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The discussions arose from a course in the Professional Master's Degree in Health Services Management at a nursing school in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The authors raised teleworking-related questions, which are not only affecting their lives, but also the lives of workers in general, causing problems socially, economically, and related to workers' health. The reflections were drawn up using some concepts from institutional analysis. This article aimed to analyze teleworking as an analyzer of work in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. As teleworking rapidly took off, the benefits were envisioned, but the potential detriments of this type of work were not considered. As a result, many professionals working from home began to work in unsuitable conditions, lacking the necessary infrastructure and support to perform their activities, such as ergonomic furniture, equipment, materials, internet access, technical assistance, training, and support. However, teleworking should not be overlooked, as many workers have identified with this type of work and many organizations have benefited from it becoming institutionalized. However, we cannot remain "numb," waiting for some miraculous reversion to pre-pandemic conditions, in order to organize the new type of "normal" in the world of work in a less alienated way.

O presente artigo de reflexão aborda a modalidade de trabalho home office, que se intensificou no Brasil a partir do contexto da pandemia da covid-19. As reflexões foram originárias de discussões realizadas em uma disciplina do Curso de Mestrado Profissional em Gestão de Serviços de Saúde, de uma Escola de Enfermagem do estado de Minas Gerais. Os autores problematizaram questões relacionadas ao home office, que estão interferindo em suas vidas, mas, também, na vida dos trabalhadores de modo geral, ocasionando problemas sociais, econômicos e relativos à saúde do trabalhador. As reflexões foram elaboradas em articulação com alguns conceitos da Análise Institucional. O objetivo é analisar o home office considerando-o como analisador do trabalho no contexto da pandemia da covid-19. A partir da célere instalação do trabalho remoto, idealizou-se os benefícios e não foram considerados os possíveis prejuízos dessa modalidade de trabalho. Assim, diversos profissionais em home office passaram a trabalhar em condições inadequadas, sem a infraestrutura necessária e o suporte para a realização das atividades, como a disponibilização de mobiliário ergonômico, equipamentos, materiais, acesso à internet, assistência técnica, capacitações e acompanhamentos. Entretanto, não se pode desprezar a alternativa do home office, pois diversos trabalhadores se identificaram com essa modalidade de trabalho e muitas organizações se beneficiam com a sua institucionalização. Ao mesmo tempo, não se pode ficar "entorpecido", à espera de um milagroso regresso à realidade pré-pandêmica, para organizar de forma menos alienada o novo tipo de "normalidade" no mundo do trabalho.

A implicação dos trabalhadores na política de assistência social brasileira / La implicación de los trabajadores en la política brasileña de asistencia social / The implication of workers in the brazilian social assistance policy

RESUMO. Esse artigo analisa a institucionalização da assistência social no Brasil e a implicação dos trabalhadores sociais neste campo. Partimos da narrativa de vida de Maria, que da experiência religiosa parte para a militância nos movimentos sociais e institucionaliza sua prática na ampliação da assistência social do governo de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva em 2004. Neste contexto de luta e paixões, Maria investe em um saber prático que se torna o ponto de partida para a construção de uma sobreimplicação. Pelo método de narrativas de vida e da análise institucional, o trabalho contempla o campo micropolítico de um percurso biográfico para chegar a aspectos sócio-históricos da constituição da pasta no país e a construção de uma sensibilidade peculiar por parte dos trabalhadores. Essa sensibilidade, construída nas experiências anteriores ao trabalho social e potencializada no encontro com a política institucionalizada, pode adoecer os profissionais e favorecer a precarização da política pública quando alimenta um compromisso pessoal que se nega a enxergar a complexidade do que seja manter a seguridade social com competência e seriedade no país.

RESUMEN Analizamos la institucionalización de la Asistencia Social en Brasil y la implicación de los trabajadores sociales en este campo. Para esto, partimos de la narrativa de la vida de María, que a partir de la experiencia religiosa, comienza a ser militante en los movimientos sociales e institucionaliza su práctica en la expansión de la Asistencia Social del gobierno de Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva en 2004. En este contexto de lucha y pasiones, María invierte en conocimiento práctico que se convierte en el punto de partida para la construcción de una sobreimplicación. A través de la metodología de la historia de la vida y el análisis institucional, el trabajo contempla el campo micropolítico de una ruta biográfica para llegar a los aspectos sociohistóricos de la constitución de la pasta en el país y la construcción de una sensibilidad peculiar por parte de los trabajadores. Esta sensibilidad, basada en experiencias previas al trabajo social y mejorada en el encuentro con la política institucionalizada, puede enfermar a los profesionales y favorece la precariedad de las políticas públicas cuando alimenta un compromiso personal que se niega a ver la complejidad de lo que significa mantener la seguridad social con competencia y seriedad en el país.

ABSTRACT. This article analyses the institutionalization of Social Assistance in Brazil and the implication of social workers in this field. For this, we start from Maria's life narrative, which from religious experience, starts to militancy in social movements and institutionalizes its practice in the expansion of Social Assistance. Maria invests in practical knowledge that becomes the beginning for construction of an overimplication. Through theory and institutional analysis, the work contemplates the micropolitical field of a biographical path to reach socio-historical aspects of the constitution of the paste in the country and the building of a peculiar sensitivity on the part of the workers. This sensitivity, built on experiences prior to social work and enhanced in the encounter with institutionalized politics, can make professionals sick and favors the precariousness of public policy when it feeds a personal commitment that refuses to see the complexity of what it means to maintain social security with competence and seriousness in the country.

Feminist Cartography: Clues to a Feminist Research Policy in Social Psychology / Cartografia Feminista: Pistas para uma Política de Pesquisa Feminista em Psicologia Social / La Cartografía Feminista: Pistas para una Política de Investigatión Feminista en Psicología Social

Abstract Cartography is an ethical, aesthetic, and political way of doing research and producing knowledge that is insistently inhabited by the unknown with feminism being a powerful tool to analyze power relations. This study aims to map cartography itself to think about how feminist epistemologies and methodologies allow cartography to question itself about the ways in which it functions, its tools, and implications. This is a theoretical text based on a research that interviewed women in prisons in Brazil and Portugal that crosses cartographic clues and feminist inspirations to vouch that research is more about the path we trace than the finished product at the end. We also propose clues for thinking cartography as a policy for producing knowledge inscribed in politics and defend that a feminist approach to cartography can radicalize the production of knowledge based on the perspective of philosophy of difference.

Resumo A cartografia é uma postura ética-estética-política de fazer pesquisa, uma forma de produzir conhecimento habitada insistentemente pelo desconhecido e o feminismo é uma ferramenta potente para analisar as relações de poder. O objetivo deste estudo é cartografar a própria cartografia para pensar de que maneiras, na tessitura de um campo, as epistemologias e metodologias feministas permitem à cartografia interrogar-se a si mesma acerca de seus modos de funcionamento, ferramentas e implicações. Trata-se de artigo teórico de uma pesquisa que entrevistou mulheres em prisões no Brasil e em Portugal. Cruzamos pistas da cartografia com inspirações feministas para mostrar que fazer pesquisa é mais o percurso que traçamos do que um produto pronto ao final. Propomos pistas para entender a cartografia como política de produção de conhecimento inscrito na política e defendemos que uma dobradura feminista no ethos cartográfico pode radicalizar a produção de conhecimento da perspectiva da filosofia da diferença.

Resumen La cartografía es una forma ética-estética-política de hacer investigación, una forma de producir conocimiento que está insistentemente habitada por el desconocido, y las prácticas feministas son herramientas poderosas para analizar las relaciones de poder. El objetivo de este estudio es cartografiar la propia cartografía para pensar cómo, en el tejido de un campo, las epistemologías y metodologías feministas permiten a la cartografía interrogarse sobre sus modos de funcionamiento, herramientas e implicaciones. Se trata de un artículo teórico de una investigación realizada a través de entrevistas con mujeres presas en Brasil y Portugal. Cruzamos pistas cartográficas con inspiraciones feministas para mostrar que investigar es más el camino que trazamos que un producto acabado al final. Proponemos pistas para entender la cartografía como una política de producción de conocimiento inscrito en la política y argumentamos que un pliegue feminista del ethos cartográfico puede radicalizar la producción de conocimiento desde la filosofía de la diferencia.

Mediação Familiar Judicial: Contribuições da Análise Institucional / Judicial Family Mediation: Contributions from Institutional Analysis / Mediación Judicial Familiar: Aportes del Análisis Institucional

Conhecida como um meio consensual de administração de conflitos, a mediação, ao lado da conciliação, está cada vez mais presente e divulgada no Brasil. No âmbito jurídico, tem sido adotada como estratégia política de reforma do Judiciário. Seu caráter interdisciplinar busca uma justiça restaurativa, não punitiva, mesclando conhecimentos do Direito, da Psicologia e da Comunicação. A mediação, especialmente, a familiar, objetiva prover famílias em conflito de ferramentas de resolução a fim de responsabilizá-las nas tomadas de decisão, bem como promover equilíbrio entre deveres e direitos, estabelecendo confiança e respeito entre seus membros. Este artigo, recorte de uma pesquisa empírica de doutorado, objetiva apresentar as contribuições da perspectiva da Análise Institucional em relação à mediação judicial no âmbito familiar, a partir de uma leitura crítica das propostas consensuais da área, apontando as "encomendas" e "demandas" feitas aos mediadores em suas práticas. Metodologicamente, adotou-se uma perspectiva qualitativa, em que foram utilizadas observação da realidade institucional e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas com os mediadores familiares. Elucidaram-se analisadores, emergidos da leitura dos dados construídos no campo e, em seguida, observaram-se as linhas de forças operadas nesse dispositivo.

Known as a consensual means of conflict management, mediation, alongside conciliation, is increasingly present and disseminated in Brazil. In the legal field, it has been adopted as a political strategy for the Judiciary reform. Its interdisciplinary character seeks restorative, non-punitive justice, mixing knowledge of Law, Psychology and Communication. Family mediation aims to provide tools of resolution to families in conflict in order to hold them accountable in decision-making, as well as promote a balance between duties and rights, establishing trust and respect among its members. This article, part of an empirical doctoral research, aims to present the Institutional Analysis perspective contributions related to judicial mediation in the family sphere, from a critical reading of the consensual proposals in the area, pointing out the "orders" and "demands" made to mediators in their practices. Methodologically, a qualitative perspective was adopted, in which observation of the institutional reality and semi-structured interviews conducted with family mediators were used. Analyzers were elucidated, emerged from reading the data constructed in the field, and then the lines of forces operated on this device were observed.

Metodológicamente, se adoptó una perspectiva cualitativa, en la que se utilizó la observación de la realidad institucional y entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con mediadores familiares. Se dilucidaron los analizadores, surgidos de la lectura de los datos construidos en el campo, y luego se observaron las líneas de fuerzas operadas en este dispositivo.

Inserção e Permanência de Prounistas Negras: Uma Experiência Institucional em Análise / Insertion and Permanence of Black Grantees: An Institutional Experience under Analysis / Inserción y Permanencia de los Estudiantes Negros: Una Experiencia Institucional en Análisis

O Programa Universidade para Todos (ProUni) é uma política de ações afirmativas que concede bolsa para alunos de baixa renda na rede privada de ensino superior. Este texto trata de uma investigação acerca da inserção e a permanência de estudantes prounistas negras na universidade com base na Análise Institucional de René Lourau articulada aos estudos de branquitude crítica. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevistas grupais on-line com quatro estudantes e analisados em conjunto por restituição. Evidenciamos que o ProUni é uma força instituinte por inserir as estudantes na universidade, antes destinadas apenas às elites, e que causa tensões produzidas no encontro com o estabelecimento de ensino. Evidenciamos a urgência do debate a respeito das questões raciais no ambiente acadêmico, espaço em que a branquitude acrítica se institui enquanto norma silenciosa. Desnaturalizando as desigualdades raciais ao desvelar os desconfortos que a discussão apresenta, por escancarar o racismo estrutural em que se assenta na instituição-educação, apontamos a urgência em criar fissuras nessa estrutura. Estrutura que capilarmente compõe, produz e reproduz lógicas opressoras no sistema de ensino superior.

The University for All Program (ProUni, in Portuguese) is an affirmative action policy that grants scholarships to low-income students in private higher education institutions. This paper is about an investigation into the insertion and permanence of black scholarship holders in the university based on René Lourau's Institutional Analysis articulated with critical whiteness studies. The data were produced through online group interviews with four students and analyzed together by restitution. In this study, we evidenced that ProUni is an instituting force for inserting students in the university, a place previously destined for the elites, and that it causes tensions produced in the encounter with the establishment. In addition, we demonstrated the urgency of the debate about racial issues in the academy, a space where uncritical whiteness establishes itself as a silent norm. Denaturalizing racial inequalities by unveiling the discomforts that the discussion presents for opening up the structural racism on which it settles in the institution-education, we point out the urgency to create fissures in this structure. Structure that extensively composes, produces and reproduces oppressive logics in the higher education system.

Too Much of a Good Thing? A Governing Knowledge Commons Review of Abundance in Context.

The economics of abundance, along with the sociology of abundance, the law of abundance, and so forth, should be re-framed, linked, and situated in a common context for empirical rather than conceptual research. Abundance may seem to be a new, big thing, between anxiety over information overload, Big Data, and related technological disruptions. But scholars know that abundance is an ancient phenomenon, which only seemed to disappear as twentieth century social science focused on scarcity instead. Restoring the study of abundance, and figuring out how to solve the problems that abundance might create, means shedding disciplinary blinders and going back to basics. How does abundance, in various forms, create or alleviate social problems? We explain and illustrate how the Governing Knowledge Commons (GKC) framework provides a useful research tool to generate and test hypotheses about abundance in various economic, social, cultural, and legal settings.

Research on the Coordinated Governance Mechanism of Cross-Regional and Cross-Basin Ecological Compensation in the Yangtze River Delta.

The development of a regionally integrated economy promotes the development of river basin ecological compensation toward cross-regional coordinated governance. The ecological compensation in the Yangtze River Delta has developed by leaps and bounds, which is conducive to the research on the collaborative governance mechanism. Taking the ecological compensation policy data in the Yangtze River Delta as the research object, and using the social network analysis method, this paper analyzes the current situation of cross-basin cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta. A collaborative governance network is formed with 74 ecological compensation agreements, and the distribution law of the overall collaborative network is found. Using IAD to decompose the ecological compensation agreement rules, 303 institutional units were obtained, of which, 198 were selection rules, accounting for 65%. The research results show that: (1) The ecological compensation cooperation in the Yangtze River Delta region is mainly concentrated in the Jiaxing Jiashan, Wujiang District, Suzhou, and Qingpu District, Shanghai, forming a close cooperation triangle network, and Shanghai plays a strong "intermediary" role in it. (2) In institutional grammar analysis, the formulation of rules is biased toward choice rules and payoff rules, that is to say, the content of the rules is mostly how to cooperate and how to reward and punish but there is a lack of specific action scenarios and standards. The combination of social network and institutional analysis and development framework is conducive to the study of the ecological collaborative governance mechanism of the Yangtze River Delta, breaking the gap between different fields and regions, enhancing the enthusiasm for multi-subject governance in the Yangtze River Delta region, and giving full play to the effectiveness of multi-subject governance.

Realidades das práticas da Estratégia Saúde da Família como forças instituintes do acesso aos serviços de saúde do SUS: uma perspectiva da Análise Institucional / Realities of the practices of the Family Health Strategy as driving forces for access to SUS health services: a perspective of the Institutional Analysis

RESUMO O acesso aos serviços de saúde no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) incide significativamente nas condições de vida e saúde dos indivíduos e comunidades, sendo que os profissionais de saúde são os protagonistas, por meio das suas práticas, para implementá-lo e qualificá-lo. Este estudo teve como objetivo, analisar a promoção do acesso à Atenção Básica, na perspectiva dos profissionais da saúde do SUS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa com aproximação teórico-metodológica aos pressupostos da Análise Institucional. O desenvolvimento ocorreu na forma de entrevistas individuais e um grupo de restituição. Os resultados apontam o acolhimento, o trabalho que é desenvolvido pelos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde, bem como o trabalho em equipe como realidades potentes e efetivas para qualificar o acesso. Questões relativas à comunicação entre os profissionais, à presença de equipe de referência para o cuidado, à realização de visita domiciliar no território e à busca pelo primeiro contato do usuário com a rede comprometem a efetividade e a disponibilidade de acesso à Atenção Básica.

ABSTRACT The access to health services in the Unified Health System(SUS) significantly affects the living and health conditions of individuals and communities, and health professionals are the protagonists, through their practices, to implement and qualify it. This study aims to analyze the promotion of access to Primary Care from the perspective of SUS health professionals. It is a qualitative research with a theoretical-methodological approach to the assumptions of Institutional Analysis. It was developed by means of individual interviews and a feedback group. The results point to the reception, the work that is developed by the Community Health Agents, as well as the teamwork as powerful and effective realities to qualify the access. Issues related to communication among professionals, the presence of a reference team for care, home visits in the territory, and the search for the user's first contact with the network compromise the effectiveness and availability of access to Primary Care.

Externalities, scarcity, and abundance.

Introduction: Do externalities work and matter differently in a world of scarcity vs. a world of abundance? In this article, we critically examine the economic phenomena of externalities. The concept of externality, an important idea in economics and law, is useful in exploring the complex and dynamic relationships between resource supply and human flourishing within various sociotechnical systems. Methods: First, we define the basic concept and explain why it is fundamental to economic analysis of complex social environments Second, we briefly survey the intellectual history of externalities with the goal of tying together a few different strands of economic theory and providing a roadmap for a general theory of externalities. This discussion highlights a latent conflict between those who pursue and those who resist perfectibility (optimization) of social systems by internalizing externalities. Third, we compare externalities in worlds of scarcity and abundance. Results: This article develops the theoretical framework, including a brief intellectual history and notes toward the development of a general theory of externalities. As a conceptual tool, externalities enable one to identify and examine social interdependencies and to map their causes and consequences. Externalities provide evidence of social demand for governance institutions. This descriptive utility can and should inform normative analysis, the design of governance institutions, and comparative institutional analysis. We also raise a series of (mostly empirical) questions that should frame comparative institutional analysis and evaluation of different externalities in the digital networked world. Discussion: We focus on the scarcity and abundance of knowledge resources and the (technological) means for participating in the production, dissemination, and modification of such resources. In the real, necessarily imperfect world where abundance and scarcity vary across resources, people, and contexts, externalities persist, indicate social demand for governance, and inform comparative analysis and design of governance institutions.

Feasibility of Good Governance at Health Facilities: A Proposed Framework and its Application Using Empirical Insights From Kenya.

BACKGROUND: Governance is a social phenomenon which permeates throughout systemic, organisational and individual levels. Studies of health systems governance traditionally assessed performance of systems or organisations against principles of good governance. However, understanding key pre-conditions to embed good governance required for healthcare organisations is limited. We explore the feasibility of embedding good governance at healthcare facilities in Kenya. METHODS: Our conceptualisation of organisational readiness for embedding good governance stems from a theory of institutional analysis and frameworks for understanding organisational readiness for change. Four inter-related constructs underpin to embed good governance: (i) individual motivations, determined by (ii) mechanisms for encouraging adherence to good governance through (iii) organisation's institutional arrangements, all within (iv) a wider context. We propose a framework, validated through qualitative methods and collected through 39 semi-structured interviews with healthcare providers, county and national-level policy-makers in Kenya. Data was analysed using framework approach, guided by the four constructs of the theoretical framework. We explored each construct in relation to three key principles of good governance: accountability, participation and transparency of information. RESULTS: Embedding good governance in healthcare organisations in Kenya is influenced by political and socio-cultural contexts. Individual motivations were a critical element of self-enforcement to embed principles of good governance by healthcare providers within their facilities. Healthcare providers possess strong moral incentives to self-enforce accountability to local populations, but their participation in decision-making was limited. Health facilities lacked effective mechanisms for enforcing good governance such as combating corruption, which led to a proliferation of informal institutional arrangements. CONCLUSION: Organisational readiness for good governance is context-specific so future work should recognise different interpretations of acceptable degrees of transparency, accountability and participation. While good governance involves collective social action, organisational readiness relies on individual choices and decisions within the context of organisational rules and cultural and historical environments.

Análise das implicações profissionais de trabalhadores de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial do interior do Nordeste brasileiro / Analysis of professional implications with staff of a Psychosocial Care Center in the northeast of Brazil / Análisis de las implicaciones profesionales con trabajadores de un Centro de Atención Psicosocial del interior del Nordeste brasileño

Este estudo analisou práticas profissionais de trabalhadores de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (Caps), com ênfase nas implicações profissionais com a instituição Saúde Mental. Compõe uma pesquisa-intervenção que utilizou o referencial teórico-metodológico da Análise Institucional, destacando a Socioclínica Institucional. O trabalho aconteceu em um Caps II de uma cidade do interior do Rio Grande do Norte entre maio de 2019 e outubro de 2020. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de cinco rodas de conversa, utilizando princípios da Educação Permanente em Saúde, sete entrevistas individuais e diário de pesquisa. As análises produzidas fizeram certas instituições ligadas ao cuidado em Saúde Mental falarem, conduzindo os trabalhadores a movimentos instituintes. O estudo aponta questões importantes para direcionar políticas públicas e estratégias de formação continuada.(AU)

This study analyzed professional practices together with Psychosocial Care Center (Caps) staff, focusing on the professional implications for the Mental Health institution. We conducted an intervention study using Institutional Analysis as a theoretical and methodological framework, with emphasis on the Institutional Socio-clinical approach. The study was conducted in a Caps II in a city in the state of Rio Grande do Norte between May 2019 and October 2020. The data were collected using conversation circles underpinned by the principles of Permanent Health Education, seven individual interviews and a research diary. The analyses made certain Mental Health Care institutions "speak", leading workers to set in motion instituting movements. The findings highlight important issues to guide continuing education policy and strategies.(AU)

El Pensamiento Institucionalista y la Psicología Escolar: desasosegando las lógicas del cotidiano / O pensamento institucionalista e a psicologia escolar: desassossegando as lógicas do cotidiano / Institutionalist thinking and school psychology: unsettling the logics of everyday life

Este artigo tem como desafio perspectivar a disputa de forças institucionais que atuam no cotidiano escolar com o objetivo de analisar o trabalho do psicólogo na escola e refletir sobre ele. A posição que sustenta este trabalho parte de concepções desenvolvidas pela Psicologia Escolar no que concerne a análises críticas sobre a práticapsinas escolas. Utilizamos ferramental teórico-prático do Movimento Institucionalista como forma de acessar, nas relações cotidianas, o jogo de tessitura das forças instituintes e instituídas e os efeitos de naturalização e normalização dos corpos que habitam esse território. A partir de uma situação vivida no campo escolar, analisaremos algumas forças institucionais que demonstram a necessidade de o psicólogo na escola se manter à espreita de cenas cotidianas em que esses efeitos, de naturalização e normalização, são tensionados.

En este artículo tiene como desafío perspectiva la disputa de fuerzas institucionales que actúan en el cotidiano escolar con el objetivo de analizar la labor del psicólogo en la escuela y pensar sobre él. La posición que sostiene este trabajo parte de concepciones desarrolladas por la Psicología Escolar en lo que concierne el análisis crítico sobre la práctica psi en las escuelas. Utilizamos las herramientas teórico-práctico del Movimiento Institucionalista como forma de acceder, en las relaciones cotidianas, el juego de tesitura de las fuerzas instituyentes e instituidas y los efectos de naturalización y normalización de los cuerpos que habitan ese territorio. A partir de una situación vivida en el campo escolar, analizaremos algunas fuerzas institucionales que demuestran la necesidad del psicólogo en la escuela mantenerse a la espera de escenas cotidianas en que esos efectos, de naturalización y normalización, son tensionados.

The challenge of this article is to put into perspective the dispute of institutional forces that act in everyday school life, with the aim of analyzing the work of psychologists at school and reflecting about it. The position that supports this work is based on conceptions developed by School Psychology regarding critical analyzes of the psychologist's practice in schools. We use theoretical-practical tools from the Institutionalist Movement as a way to access, in everyday relationships, the game of establishment the instituting and instituted forces and the effects of naturalization and normalization of the bodies that inhabit this territory. Based on a situation experienced in the school field, we will analyze some institutional forces that demonstrate the need for the school psychologist to keep on the lookout for everyday scenes in which these effects, of naturalization and normalization, are tensioned.
