Abstract:

This chapter, which closes Part II, synthesizes the empirical findings and returns to the theoretical argument. First, it presents the different conjunctions of causal factors that explain party vibrancy. Every combination accounting for party vibrancy includes moderate Exit Barriers. After the party institutionalizes and all factors have consolidated, moderate Exit Barriers facilitate collective action by reducing incentives to defect. However, to sustain vibrancy, moderate Exit Barriers must interact at least with Channels of Ambition. Such channels activate the party’s perceived benefit for individuals, who expect the party to satisfy their political ambitions. If Channels of Ambition are not present, Trauma and Purpose are necessary components for party vibrancy. The joint presence of the theorized factors then sustains reproduction of this vibrancy over time. The chapter also presents a stylized trajectory, or “life cycle,” of party vibrancy and of the theorized causal factors. Finally, it briefly discusses cases of lack of vibrancy.

Abstract:

There has been a renewed global interest in expanding home dialysis (both peritoneal dialysis (PD) and home haemodialysis (HHD)), but the majority of patients are maintained on in-centre haemodialysis (HD). While the importance of in-centre haemodialysis cannot be overlooked, home dialysis has many advantages. If so, why are so few patients maintained on home dialysis therapies? From the perspective of the patient, both inadequate modality education and self-perceived barriers limit selection of home dialysis. Physicians are less likely to consider elderly frail patients as candidates for home therapies. In addition, inadequate training and poor reimbursement for home dialysis are important physician barriers. From the facility perspective, the limited availability of personnel and physical resources to maintain a home unit are important barriers. However, while there are many obstacles to home dialysis, they can be overcome. Improved patient education, home support for elderly dialysis patients, and financial incentives may be effective measures. In addition, at the facility level, an emphasis needs to be placed on infrastructure development. Overall, while the appropriate balance of in-centre versus home-based renal replacement therapy has not been determined, maximizing the number of patients on home therapies is a reasonable target.

Abstract:

Advance care planning (ACP) is becoming more widely used as part of a drive to improve personalized care planning, but there is still more work to be done. Electronic Palliative Care Co-ordination systems (EPaCCs) have proved to be very effective in some areas but there are many barriers to be overcome before they are universally available. This chapter covers recent developments leading to the wider integration of ACP into primary care. These include policy initiatives, educational opportunities, information technology (IT), professional quality control and regulation, financial and business incentives, and the Compassionate Community movement. The chapter includes an overview of issues surrounding ACP in primary care and in the community.

Full text

Abstract:

This theoretical chapter presents the existing contributions in order to enable understanding of the determinants of democratic reforms, but also the processes leading to reform in established democracies. It focuses, first, on the sets of incentives and obstacles to change of the institutions: political crisis, political instability, and the state of the pre-existing institutional system. On the other hand, the research in this field has confirmed the existence of several barriers to change, the importance of taking the roles of complexity and uncertainty into account, and how the type of reform and the type of process leading to reform (or non-reform) are intrinsically linked. Second, this chapter shows that authors often fall into traps, of which there are several, and these mainly derive from the absence of cross-national and multidimensional data on institutional change: that reforms are rare, mainly self-interested, and tend to happen as isolated events.

Abstract:

There are no less than five major gaps in translation in the long journey from discovery to practical patient benefit. Insufficient understanding of disease mechanisms (T0), limited skills and motivation in turning lab discoveries into potential products (T1), huge wastage in bringing promising products to market (T2), disappointingly slow adoption by doctors and adherence by patients (T3), and failure to learn from past experience (T4): all cripple the productivity of life sciences. T2 is a particular challenge, especially in medicines, with a high attrition rate in costly clinical trials and increasing difficulties in persuading health technology assessment (HTA) agencies of the added-value of new technologies, combined with HTA differences across countries. Major cultural barriers between academia, practical medicine, and industry make matters worse, as mismatched incentives and mutual suspicion impede collaboration. The net result is poor yield at every stage in the innovation process and therefore very poor translation overall.

Cheng, Christine. How to Study Extralegal Groups. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199673346.003.0002.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 1 introduces key concepts for studying and comparing extralegal groups. It begins by differentiating extralegal groups from conceptual cousins such as warlords and mafias—politicized terms which are commonly used as shorthand for “bad guy” or “actors that the UN and the West disapprove of.” The chapter then turns to two ideas for analyzing extralegal groups: conflict capital and time horizons. First, conflict capital helps to explain the stickiness of wartime bonds, the ease with which extralegal groups can form, and the difficulty of dismantling them. After war, these wartime social connections allow for violence to be committed more readily because there already exists a repertoire of violence. Second, incorporating time horizons into statebuilding discussions is key to understanding the incentives of the state, of international actors, and of extralegal groups. The findings from Liberia show that sectors with lower barriers to entry had more extralegal groups.

Abstract:

The idea of a guaranteed minimum income has been central to British social policy debates for more than a century. Since the First World War, a variety of market economists, radical activists, and social reformers have emphasized the possibility of tackling poverty through direct cash transfers between the state and its citizens. As manufacturing employment has declined and wage inequality has grown since the 1970s, cash benefits and tax credits have become a major income source for millions of working-age households, including many low-paid workers with children. The nature and purpose of these transfer payments, however, remain highly contested. Conservative and New Labour governments have used in-work benefits and conditionality requirements to ‘activate’ the unemployed and reinforce the incentives to take low-paid work—an approach which has reached its apogee in Universal Credit. By contrast, a growing number of campaigners have argued that the challenge of providing economic security in an age of automation would be better met by paying a Universal Basic Income to all citizens. Transfer State provides the first detailed history of guaranteed income proposals in modern Britain, which brings together intellectual history and archival research to show how the vision of an integrated tax and benefit system has shaped UK public policy since 1918. The result is a major new analysis of the role of cash transfers in the British welfare state which sets Universal Credit in a historical perspective and examines the cultural and political barriers to a Universal Basic Income.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on the 1980s, a market-oriented decade that marked the demise of managerial capitalism. Entrepreneurial ability became more highly prized than managerial competence, and, primarily due to increased takeover activity, a managerial comfort zone from which public company executives had benefitted was substantially eroded. During “the Deal Decade” takeover bids, most conspicuously ones launched by flamboyant corporate “raiders,” provided executives eager to forestall an unwelcome approach with a potent incentive to bolster shareholder returns. Deregulation and liberalized access to capital simultaneously expanded the discretion available to public company executives and intensified competitive pressure on large firms formerly insulated by substantial barriers to entry.

Abstract:

This chapter assesses the impact of policing on urban crime control. It argues that the protection of property was central to the practice of preventative policing, and that the growth of the police significantly enhanced the state’s capacity to control urban property crime. Nevertheless, police efforts to combat theft obtained only limited purchase, and ultimately failed to live up to public expectations. Having demonstrated that the criminal statistics do not provide a reliable measure of crime trends, the chapter exposes the barriers to police effectiveness in crime control, particularly the scale and scope of opportunity for theft which the Victorian city presented, and limitations on resources which undermined the operation of the preventative policing strategy. The result was an enforcement gap in responding to urban property crime, which provided an incentive for autonomous civilian participation in crime control.

Abstract:

Chapter 6 reviews a series of welfare-to-work initiatives and evaluates their impacts. The chapter reveals various barriers for Dibao recipients to move from welfare to work, leading many of them to be unwillingly labeled welfare dependents. These include limited employability due to poor health, low level of education, lack of skills, middle age, long history of unemployment, lack of financial or social capital, family care responsibilities, lack of childcare and senior care services in the community, stigma from neighbors and local officials, and a series of policy design factors that deter work efforts. Local governments have experimented with an array of welfare-to-work programs, ranging from punitive approaches to protective measures, to those offering direct incentive for seeking and maintaining employment and providing job training and referrals. These initiatives have not been systematically evaluated. The limited existing evidence shows that they are ineffective in helping Dibao recipients move from welfare to work.

Abstract:

Chapter 9 summarizes the empirical findings and argues that quotas for SCs have played an important role in breaking down the social barriers associated with the caste system. This success is only partial, as SC politicians are still perceived as weaker than other politicians, and they still experience subtle forms of discrimination. However, important achievements have been made: members of this large community that probably would have been excluded from politics have had the opportunity to gain political experience and know-how, and it now appears less socially acceptable to treat SC elites disrespectfully in public. How, then, do these findings speak to other cases? The findings from India demonstrate that institutional design is important in shaping the behavior of political parties, politicians, and voters—but also that a policy that incentivizes integration rather than group representation may produce important effects.

Abstract:

Trade Policy in Multilevel Government investigates how multilevel polities organize openness in a globalizing political and economic environment. In recent years, the multilevel politics of trade caught the broader public’s attention, not least due to the Wallonian regional parliament’s initial rejection of the EU-Canada trade deal in 2016. In all multilevel polities, competencies held by states and regions have increasingly become the subject of international rule-setting. This is particularly so in the field of trade, which has progressively targeted so-called “behind the border” regulatory barriers. In their reaction to this “deep trade” agenda, constituent units in different multilevel polities have shown widely varying degrees of openness to liberalizing their markets. Why is that? Trade Policy in Multilevel Government argues that domestic institutions and procedures of intergovernmental relations are the decisive factor. Countering a widely held belief among practitioners and analysts of trade policy that involving subcentral actors complicates trade negotiations, it demonstrates that the more voice a multilevel polity affords its constituent units in trade policy-making, the less the latter have an incentive eventually to exit from emerging trade deals. While in shared rule systems constituent unit governments are directly represented along the entirety of the policy cycle, in self-rule systems territorial representation is achieved merely indirectly. Shared rule systems are hence more effective than self-rule systems in organizing openness to trade. The book tests the explanatory power of this theory on the understudied case of international procurement liberalization in extensive studies of three systems of multilevel government: Canada, the European Union, and the United States.
