Taking the Time: The Implications of Workplace Assessment for Organizational Gender Inequality
Gendered differences in workload distribution, in particular who spends time on low-promotability workplace tasks-tasks that are essential for organizations yet do not typically lead to promotions-contribute to persistent gender inequalities in workplaces. We examined how gender is implicated in the content, quality, and consequences of one low-promotability workplace task: assessment. By analyzing real-world behavioral data that include 33,456 i…
Who Gets the Benefit of the Doubt? Performance Evaluations, Medical Errors, and the Production of Gender Inequality in Emergency Medical Education
Why do women continue to face barriers to success in professions, especially male-dominated ones, despite often outperforming men in similar subjects during schooling? With this study, we draw on role expectations theory to understand how inequality in assessment emerges as individuals transition from student to professional roles. To do this, we leverage the case of medical residency so that we can examine how changes in role expectations shape …
Living with insecurity: Food security, resilience, and the World Food Programme (WFP)
As the world’s largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger, and primary expositor of food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa, the World Food Programme’s (WFP) activities offer a unique opportunity to examine the contemporary food-security nexus. In this article, we examine the ‘turn’ toward resilience in the practices and policies of the WFP. Our analysis emphasizes that resilience is one of a family of security strategies through which the W…
Governing failure: Development, aid and audit in Haiti
This paper analyses practices for monitoring, tracking and assessing the international aid and reconstruction efforts in Haiti in an attempt to ‘build back better’ from the devastation of the January 2010 earthquake. We suggest that aid and reconstruction efforts filter through an international network of development organisations. This network also acts as a governing auspice, overseeing the transformation of Haiti from a ‘failed state’ to a str…
The rule of law, security-development and penal aid: The case of detention in Haiti
The combination of flawed penality, crushing poverty and a natural disaster that devastated Haiti’s already fragile criminal justice infrastructure made the country a fitting candidate for a new kind of international aid effort, which we call penal aid. This international aid effort uses rule of law theories and practices to develop credible criminal justice institutions and reform penal practice throughout the world. According to rule of law mea…
Frontier Government: The Folding of the Canada-US Border
In this paper the border is evaluated as a fold of power relations in which sovereign capacity and competence is marshalled alongside strategies of control, surveillance, and risk management to constitute, what we call, a zone of frontier government. We advance the argument that the border is a site for both negative and positive power, for insertion and subtraction, and that the assemblage of surveillance and compliance regimes are "run" not so …
Seeing private security like a state
Based on a systematic and detailed statutory analysis of 58 jurisdictions in Canada and the United States, this article constructs a modal typology of state regulation of contract private security. State regulation of private security has been neglected despite the fact it has grown across North American jurisdictions in the past two decades. Moving beyond rudimentary regulatory models and focusing on the contract security sector exclusively, fiv…
Spaces of Governance: Gender and public sector restructuring in Canada
While the literature on economic restructuring tends to understand neoliberalism as a uniform governance ideology or economic-political reality, we suggest that it is more useful to understand neoliberalism as a loosely knit assemblage of programmatic efforts that consist of various political rationalities and practices of rule that aim to manage social conduct. The paper focuses on the various ways that these efforts are connected to complex sta…

Policing The New Commons: Corporate Security Governance on a Mass Private Property in Canada
This article examines the governance programme of an in-house security department on a mass private property in Canada. Under the auspice of state laws, diverse zones of autonomy are constituted and powerful governance programmes are authorized to police communities of patrons, staff and other service providers within and beyond property boundaries. Analysis of this particular security programme reveals a primary concern with the maintenance and …
Security Intelligence Networks and the Transformation of Contract Private Security
This article explores the transformation of contract private security and security intelligence networks by drawing on results of a 2003 survey of contract security firms in Ontario, Canada. Comparing these results with a 1976 survey by Shearing et al. reveals a dramatic increase in the intelligence gathering and sharing capacities of contract security firms. This increased capacity can be put to various uses. The results of the 2003 survey permi…
The Folding of Liberal Government: Contract Governance and the Transformation of the Public Service in Canada
“Supply correct abstract” Despite renewed interest in the Schmittian problematic of the exception as the constitutive principle of the political, the full significance of Schmitt's political philosophy remains underestimated. Starting from Schmitt's account of the relation between the constituted order and its constitutive principle, the decision on exception
After the “quiet revolution”: The self‐regulation of Ontario contract security agencies1
This article explores private security self‐regulation and client‐centredness by comparing the results of two surveys of contract security agencies in Ontario, Canada—one by and one by the authors in 2003. Comparative analysis reveals that the perceived adequacy of existing state regulation has increased while the adequacy of enforcement has decreased despite unchanged state regulation. There have been changes in the type of guard‐training agenci…
Security Assemblages: Airport Security, Flexible Work, and Liberal Governance
Security has become a more intense focus of public debate and concern following the events of September 11, 2001. In North America, especially, much media and political discourse has centered on the private security workforce charged with the provision of airport security services and, specifically, the quality of service it provides. In response, it is widely claimed that a (1) is occurring in the character of security governance and that we are…
Ancient Egyptian Kingship
This volume is the collaborative effort of several Egyptological scholars from the United States, Canada, Egypt and England. Each contribution is an investigation of a specific aspect of kingship in ancient Egypt and represents a particular area of expertise of that author. The first part of the book examines the nature of kingship and the role of the ruler. The second part focuses on the role of kingship and its characterization in particular pe…
