Understanding economic inactivity and Neet status among young women in the UK and France
This article examines the position of young women in the UK and France who are defined as not in education, employment or training (NEET) and economically inactive (EI). While the challenges facing the young unemployed are well documented, far less is known about economic inactivity and its propensity to impact to a much greater extent on the lives of young women. The UK and France share some similarities with regard to their NEET EI female popul…
Early leaving and the Neet agenda across the UK
While measures to combat ‘Early Leaving’ (EL) have been widely adopted internationally, as a means of curbing rates of economic and social exclusion among young people, the term itself is not widely utilised across the UK. That is not to say that measuring and reducing the number of young people who drop out of education (or training) before meeting minimum age and/or qualification standards is not important. Rather, the emphasis has remained on …
One step forward and two steps back? The UK’s policy response to youth unemployment
This paper examines the role of the UK’s post-16 education and training system in supporting the young unemployed. It maps the trajectory of a series of time-limited policy initiatives, which have attempted to install a training system for young people alongside containing fluctuating levels of youth unemployment. The impact of the expansion of post-16 full-time educational opportunities for young people, as a means of extending qualification att…
The Discourse of Risk and Processes of Institutional Change: The Case of Green Chemistry
In this chapter the authors explore the role that the dominant discourse of risk has played in the processes of institutional change that have taken place in the field of chemistry as a result of the emergence and expansion of “green” chemistry. The aim of green chemistry is to replace hazardous substances with benign ones so as to eliminate chemical risks to human health and the environment. They show how significant institutional changes have o…

Earning Not Learning? An Assessment of Young People in the Jobs without Training (JWT) Group
In recent years, mass participation in post-16 education and training in England has led to a diminishing understanding about young people who leave education at the end of compulsory schooling to enter 'jobs without training' (JWT). Drawing on data from three recent studies, this article argues that the JWT group is not homogeneous in its composition. Similar findings led to the development of a common typology across all three studies to define…
Discourse, Field-Configuring Events, and Change in Organizations and Institutional Fields: Narratives of DDT and the Stockholm Convention
We explore the discursive processes through which a field-configuring event can change an institutional field and organizations. Our case study is of the United Nations conference leading to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which established new global regulations for several dangerous chemicals but excepted the insecticide DDT. Our study highlights how the production, distribution, and consumption of texts in the multip…
I just want a job’ – what do we really know about young people in jobs without training
The policy commitment in England to raise the participation age (RPA) for continuing in learning for all 17-year olds from 2013 and for all 18-year olds from 2015, brings with it the responsibility of ensuring that education and training are available, accessible and relevant to the needs of all types of learners. In recent years, little policy focus has been given to young people who leave education at the end of compulsory schooling to enter ‘j…
Discourse and Deinstitutionalization: The Decline of DDT
Drawing on institutional theory emphasizing translation and discourse, we explore outsider-driven deinstitutionalization through a case study of the abandonment of widespread, taken-for-granted practices of DDT use between 1962 and 1972. Our findings illustrate how abandonment of practices results from "problematizations" that—through subsequent "translation"—change discourse in ways that undermine the institutional pillars supporting practices. …

Institutional Entrepreneurship as Embedded Agency: An Introduction to the Special Issue
We are delighted to introduce this special issue of Organization Studies ,t he purpose of which is to develop a deeper understanding of the concept of institutional entrepreneurship and to offer new avenues for future research. This concept has been attracting considerable attention in recent years, as was reflected in the record number of papers that were submitted - the largest number that this journal has received for any of its special issues…
Two Years On: The Destinations of Young People who are Not in Education, Employment or Training at 16
This paper draws on evidence from the evaluation of the piloting of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in England, to explore the extent to which a financial incentive to remain in full-time learning prevents young people entering the ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) group. Evidence from the evaluation would suggest that paying young people to stay on at school has made a positive impact on preventing some young people ent…
Redistributing the Burden of Scientific Uncertainty: Implications of the Precautionary Principle for State and Nonstate Actors
In this article, we use a case study of 2001 Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) to examine role of precautionary principle in international environmental law and policy. Our findings indicate that a major function of principle is to redistribute burden of scientific uncertainty. By lowering threshold of evidence of threats to human health or environment required to trigger deliberations about taking action, precautionary…
Institutional Entrepreneurship in Emerging Fields: Hiv/Aids Treatment Advocacy in Canada.
In a qualitative study of the emerging field of HIV/AIDS treatment advocacy in Canada, we found that institutional entrepreneurship involved three sets of critical activities: (1) the occupation of “subject positions” that have wide legitimacy and bridge diverse stakeholders, (2) the theorization of new practices through discursive and political means, and (3) the institutionalization of these new practices by connecting them to stakeholders’ rou…
