Sari Stories; Glossary; Notes; IndexAlthough feminist ethnography is an emerging genre, the question of what the term means remains open. Recent texts which fall under this rubric rely on unexamined notions of "sisterhood" and the recovery of "lost" voices. In these essays about her work with women in Southern India, Kamala Visweswaran addresses such troubled issues. Blurring distinctions between ethnographic and literary genres, these essays employ the narrative strategies of history, fiction, autobiography and biography, deconstruction, and post-colonial discourse to reveal the fictions of ethnography and the ethnography in fiFeminist anthropologyIndiaWomen anthropologistsAttitudesWomenIndiaSocial conditionsFeminist anthropologyWomen anthropologistsAttitudes.WomenSocial conditions.305.42/0954305.420954Visweswaran Kamala1576812MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784385303321Fictions of feminist ethnography3854888UNINA07040nam 22009255 450 991029849450332120260415135330.03-319-10659-710.1007/978-3-319-10659-5(CKB)3710000000355361(EBL)1968623(SSID)ssj0001451884(PQKBManifestationID)11836214(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001451884(PQKBWorkID)11479645(PQKB)10167890(DE-He213)978-3-319-10659-5(MiAaPQ)EBC1968623(PPN)200071726(EXLCZ)99371000000035536120150204d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrGoverning Metropolitan Transport Institutional Solutions for Policy Problems /by Simone Busetti1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (131 p.)PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2577Description based upon print version of record.3-319-10658-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Preface; Acknowledgments; Contents; 1 The Policy Case for Metropolitan Transport Authorities; Abstract ; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 Investigating Metropolitan Transport Authorities (MTAs) Through Institutional Analysis; 1.2.1 Introducing Institutions; 1.2.2 Applied Institutional Analysis: The Case of MTAs; 1.3 Institutions and Policy Problems: The Instrumental Logic; 1.3.1 Learning from the Classics; 1.3.2 Discussing MTAs and Policy Problems; 1.4 A Static Critique on the 'Instrumental Logic'; References; 2 Institutions, Institutional Change and Policy Outcomes; Abstract ; 2.1 Introduction2.2 Emergence, Evolution and Institutional Efficiency2.2.1 Functionalism and Equilibria-Institutions; 2.3 Looking Inside Stability and Change; 2.3.1 Stability and Path Dependence; 2.3.2 Historical Institutionalism and Varieties of Institutional Change; 2.4 Power, Institutions and Institutional Change; 2.5 A Policy Perspective on Institutional Change; 2.5.1 Who Cares?

It opens by examining the main arguments for the establishment of metropolitan transport authorities. The potential impacts of institutional change on the policy efficiency of institutions are then examined. Key problems for institutional designers are identified, showing how they can hamper the achievement of desired policy outcomes through institutional solutions. Two in-depth case studies on institutional change in metropolitan transport (in London and Barcelona) are presented with a view to testing the aforementioned hypotheses and providing insights into the ways in which the two transport institutions were reformed. The concluding chapter identifies lessons for institutional designers and highlights the policy results that may be expected from the constitution of metropolitan transport authorities.PoliMI SpringerBriefs,2282-2577Regional economicsSpace in economicsUrban geographyPublic administrationTransportationFinance, PublicService industriesRegional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15010Public Administrationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030Transportationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/119000Public Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000Serviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/527020Regional economics.Space in economics.Urban geography.Public administration.Transportation.Finance, Public.Service industries.Regional/Spatial Science.Urban Geography / Urbanism (inc. megacities, cities, towns).Public Administration.Transportation.Public Economics.Services.330336338.4338.9351388913-919Busetti Simoneauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut763688BOOK9910298494503321Governing Metropolitan Transport2536080UNINA
