Relationship-based practice training and youth outcomes
When asked about their experiences of services, young people often said that they were lucky when their social workers built a positive relationship with them, suggesting such experiences were not common. Yet the quality of the relationship between social workers and youth is a strong predictor of positive outcomes, indicating that while relationship-based practice (RBP) is key to youth outcomes, there is a need for specific training that builds …
Culturally and Contextually Relevant Definitions of the Five Cs
This study aimed to investigate if and how the Five Cs were related to the perception of program outcomes in different PYD programs in Aotearoa/New Zealand. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was employed within a critical realist epistemology, including semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 110 youth, aged 12 – 25 years, and 17 staff in 14 different local PYD programs. Data were analyzed using framework analysis. Inductive analysi…
From Partnership to Ownership
This article presents an example of a community-university research partnership which was focused on issues of sustainability and long-term community benefit throughout. It documents a five-year relationship between an Aotearoa New Zealand based university and a number of youth and community organisations. The project aimed to co-develop tools and resources that would support youth and social service practitioners to maintain effective helping re…
Fine Companions
This article discusses the alignment of framework analysis with a critical realist philosophy in qualitative analysis. Whilst both are used in social sciences and prioritise meaning making of complex phenomena, the two approaches have not been combined prior to the study outlined in this article. The article describes critical realist ontology and epistemology, the implications of this philosophy for data analysis and the structured processes of …
Understanding continuity in sustainable transport planning in Curitiba
The Brazilian city of Curitiba has long been recognised as an exemplary success in urban planning, particularly its sustainable urban transport, with modal splits strongly favouring public transit. Its success was achieved principally through rigorous and detailed planning, beginning in the 1970s, using policy tools that have been described, and sometimes criticised, as technocratic. After 40 years of a quite successful experience in transport pl…
Intégration des transports et de l'aménagement du territoire au niveau métropolitain à Toronto et à Chicago
Cet article porte sur l'intégration de l'aménagement du territoire et des transports au niveau métropolitain en Amérique du Nord. Au moyen d'une analyse de contenu d'entretiens semi-dirigés et d'une recherche documentaire, deux grandes régions métropolitaines, Toronto et Chicago, sont comparées quant à leur cheminement institutionnel vers une plus grande intégration de la planification des transports et de l'aménagement du territoire. Les interve…
Integrating transportation and land use planning at the metropolitan level in North America
This article compares the policies and processes by which transportation and land use planning are integrated in metropolitan Toronto, Canada, and Chicago, in the United States. Using twenty-four semi-structured interviews with key informants, it describes the array of interventions undertaken by governmental and non-governmental actors in their respective domains to shed light on how the challenge of integrating transportation and land use plann…
The Gap Between Theory and Reality of Governance
Forest governance has greatly evolved over the last few decades, moving from a state-based management process to a more private one. This evolution enabled stakeholders to become more involved in forest management decisions. The process of forest certification also encouraged greater participation in civil society. However, few studies have been done on the role of local stakeholders in forest certification initiatives. We used a qualitative appr…
Equity, Social Justice, and Sustainable Urban Transportation in the Twenty-First Century
As an ever-increasing proportion of the world population lives in urban areas, one of the most important equity and social justice challenges governments and public administrations face is urban land-use and transportation issues. Within the context of this challenge, social justice, land use, transportation, health, and environmental dimensions are presented here as "a bundle of tangled elements sensitive to design." The types of interdependence…

American hesitations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
In 2005, the objectives of the Kyoto Protocol appear somewhat out of reach, even if Russia gave life to the protocol by signing it in 2004. Even if implemented, the protocol entails huge operational problems. Will the United States prove to be the first country to realize the difficulties in implementing Kyoto, or did they refuse to ratify it for reasons that are very particular to their own institutions? This article is an attempt at supporting …

Preface Introduction Individual Ecologists: Ten North American Leaders Environmentalist and Ecologist Organizations and Their Members Politics, Governments, and Public Policy Explaining and Understanding Ecologists Ecology and the Protoplasmic Era Conclusion Appendix: Interview Schedule for Ecologist Leaders Index
The Greening of Organizations
This article draws some parallels between administrative trends of the past 15 years and principles drawn from the ecology movement. This task is facilitated by the fact that ecologists have been interested in areas that go beyond questions of air, water, and soil. Both administrative practices and the ecology movement have been recommending a departure from primitive mechanics, because both advocate diversity flexibility, and human scale and rec…
Looking at Organizational Culture, Hermeneutically
Increased international trade and competition has encouraged organizational analysts to look into the role of location, in other words the institutional frameworks, and their underlying cultural base, of competing countries. This article proposes the discipline of hermeneutics for the realization of this task. The hermeneutic tradition of taking into account context and past history in understanding the basis of institutional frameworks is presen…
What Level of Government for Ecologists
First and foremost, environmentalists have focused their attention on physical environment, on questions regarding quality of air, water, and soil. As radical as they may appear to be, most environmentalist groups focus on concrete solutions to solve our environmental problems. Greens and ecologists, on other hand, in addition to physical state of planet, are interested in larger, more institutional questions. Better known in Europe and particula…

Le phénomène bureaucratique « et le Canada français
Drawing from the organizational behaviour that is described in Michel Crozier's Bureaucratic Phenomenon, two similar public service organizations, one (anglophone) in Ontario, one (francophone) in Quebec are compared. Even if the type of behaviour found in The Bureaucratic Phenomenon is quite sensitive to noncultural factors (sex, organizational level, type of work), francophones correspond more closely than their anglophone counterparts to certa…
ΑLe phénomèna bureaucratique et le Canada français
In the spring of 1978 Canadian Public Administration published an article entitled “French Canada and the ‘bureaucratic phenomenon’”. The author, Herman Bakvis, suggested that Michel Crozier's model of bureaucratic behaviour be used to study the bureaucratic behaviour of French Canadians, since the French and French Canadians appear to share important cultural traits. In his analysis of the federal public service, Bakvis overestimates the influen…
