Sommario/riassunto

Tissue engineering is a new field of biomedical engineering, in which synthetic materials are used together with biological components such as tissue fragments, cells, proteins to encourage tissue regeneration, regrowth, and repair. This book introduces the principles of tissue engineering in a unique way that is ideally suited for the modern engineering student. A review of developmental biology is presented



early in the book, since biological development is the fundamental process of most relevance for tissue engineering. The study of development provides a pathway to basic bioengineering units on cell adhesion, migration, assembly, and transport, which are integrated in the final sections of the book into tissue engineering processes (such as cell delivery, growth factor administration, and polymeric scaffold materials).

Sommario/riassunto

Les contributions ici réunies en hommage à Claude Gauvard viennent compléter un triptyque éditorial, initié en 2010 : après Un Moyen Âge pour aujourd’hui et Violences souveraines (PUF, 2010), le bouquet d’études rassemblées témoigne de la dette contractée d’une ultime génération de doctorants, tous devenus depuis docteurs en titre. Il s’agit ici d’un acte collectif visant à rendre justice à l’incroyable capacité que Claude Gauvard de « faire jeunesses » du savoir dispensé, à travers l’enseignement et l’encadrement de travaux de recherches de longue durée. Ainsi pourrait-on qualifier un legs intellectuel inestimable : agir pour les autres et leur donner ce qui est inaliénable, soit la passion du savoir et, en l’occurrence, le désir de comprendre la société médiévale dans la profondeur de sa complexité, de ses ambitions morales comme de son rêve de totalité.

Nota di contenuto

Chapter 1. Personalistic regimes and the processes of governance -- Chapter 2. Providing goods: health mandates and authoritarian performance -- Chapter 3. Managing actors: faulty controls and flawed performance -- Chapter 4. Constructing the oversight: organizational atrophy and particularized exchanges -- Chapter 5. Securitizing the epidemic: ideological adaptations and illiberal meanings -- Chapter 6. Conclusions, implications, and dashed hopes.

Sommario/riassunto

The book is the first attempt to investigate how and to what extent authoritarian (personalistic) regimes fail to provide fundamental goods and services. For two decades, Russian authorities spent much effort and money to improve health administration, but most success stories are borderline fake. The failure is by design; because personalistic regimes rely on personalized exchanges and bargains instead of impersonal rules and permanent organizations, all actors put self-interest ahead of patients' needs. It is a severe problem because authoritarian principals proclaim social betterment as their central goal



-- and many Russians take such claims at face value -- but incentivize their agents to imitate progress and tolerate slipshod performance. The benefits of this investigation are three-fold. First, the book provides an analytical framework of bad governance rooted in the rational institutionalist tradition and connected to competence-control theory. Second, it gives a general readership interested in how Russia works a sense of the key political players' mindset and the regime-induced constraints under which elites operate. Third, although the book investigates health governance exclusively, its analytical framework is portable to other issue areas and could be applied to explain how and why Russia evolved into an ineffective, coercive, and predatory state under Putin's leadership. Vlad Kravtsov is Associate Professor of Political Science & Law at Spring Hill College, the US. .
