From Philanthropoid to Foundation Professional
Scholarship on foundations has tended to focus on the organizational level or their societal roles. Less attention has been given to foundations’ internal dynamics. Thus, how the roles of foundation staff have developed and evolved has been largely overshadowed. To better understand this development, this article focuses on the individual professional. After a review of a century of research on foundation staff roles, this article maps and synthe…
Pragmatism, partnerships, and persuasion
Foundations are one of the oldest organizational forms globally; their number and resources, as well as their socio-political and economic importance, have steadily continued to grow. Yet, foundations’ attributes, activities, and actual achievements remain underexplored and poorly understood. This is particularly noticeable in the context of global policy and transnational administration, an area where foundations tend to be subliminal players, a…
Foundations in the U.K
In the absence of a legal foundation form, and with differing national legal contexts, researching U.K. foundations presents major conceptual and practical challenges. This article maps and critically discusses the U.K. foundation landscape; it highlights the blurred boundaries of foundations as an organizational form and outlines the different expressions of charity laws that foundations face across the U.K.’s constituent parts. Examining data o…
Developing a better understanding of community foundations in the UK’s localisms
Recent policy emphases in the United Kingdom (UK) show growing attention to localism interconnected with philanthropy. This appears to offer significant opportunities for community foundations – geographically embedded multi-purpose charities envisaged as combining various grant-making roles with community leadership. Using a theoretical framework derived from political geography, we explore and conceptualise how community foundations conceive an…
Linking research and policy in Scotland
Given its strong research base, separate administrative systems and consensual policy style, Scotland provides an interesting case for exploring the relationship between research and policy. This paper outlines approaches and initiatives developed by government, research funders and universities to promote better linkages between research and policy within Scotland. It illustrates how these play out through the example of the Scottish Early Years…
Instruments for Exploring Organizational Culture
Organizational culture is widely considered to be one of the most significant factors in reforming and modernizing public administration and service delivery. This article documents the findings of a literature review of existing qualitative and quantitative instruments for the exploration of organizational culture. Seventy instruments are identified, of which 48 could be submitted to psychometric assessment. The majority of these are at a prelim…
Evidence and policy networks
This article explores the role and use of evidence by actors involved in the policy debate on sex offender community notification in the summer of 2000. It examines what was considered as evidence, how it was used and by which actors. It highlights the wide and fluid nature of evidence and the rapidity with which it can infuse policy debates. Although evidence was used strategically and tactically by most actors, the policy debate was well inform…
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein: Revolutionary or “Preserver of the Old”? Usually, Albert Einstein and his contributions to the special and general theory of relativity, to cosmology and to quantum physics are considered as “revolutionary”. However, Einstein himself named only one of the papers published in his annus mirabilis 1905 as “very revolutionary”, namely the paper about the light quantum hypothesis. He neither considered his papers about atomic theory n…

Don't you think it is very exiting?” – Ein Beitrag zur Untersuchung des Hintergrunds der Entstehung des rotierenden Gödel-Universums
In 1949, Gödel published a paper on a new type of relativistic world models, namely the rotating Gödel universes. One remarkable feature of such models is the existence of closed time-like curves which means that they admit travelling in time. The question which I want to address is by which source Gödel might have been inspired when assuming a rotating universe. Although it is unlikely that he was influenced by predecessors like Anaxagoras, Desc…

Oszillierende Weltmodelle versus Urknallmodelle. Das oszillierende Weltmodell Friedmanns, die Ablehnung der Anfangssingularität durch russische Kosmologen und die Zustimmung der katholischen Kirche zu…
The Russian mathematician and physicist Friedmann and the Belgian priest and physicist Lemaître were the first to consider non‐static world models in the framework of Einstein's general theory of relativity. Friedmann seemed to favour a periodic, oscillating cosmological model. His investigations were taken up by Russian cosmologists in the 1960s. They stated that the singularities present in many of the Friedmann‐Lemaître cosmological models see…
