Socio-spatial intermediaries in non-profit organizations
Integrated urban regeneration policies that emphasize citizen participation have become a central strategy for addressing social, economic and physical challenges in disadvantaged European neighbourhoods. However, structural barriers often hinder meaningful participation, creating gaps that require mediation between citizens and the state. While non-profit organizations are recognized as key actors in bridging these gaps, the role of the professi…
Advocacy Through Practices of Input and Throughput Legitimacy
This study examines how non-profit organizations that engage in advocacy gain their legitimacy in the eyes of their target group of vulnerable citizens. The existing body of literature shows that these organizations are challenged in their pursuit of citizen legitimacy, defined as the extent to which their constituent target group perceives the organization as justified, accepted, and appropriate. This paper draws on the results of qualitative re…
Confronting robotization in Mexico
This paper discusses the relatively unexplored risk of societal disruption following from the replacement of human labor by the use of robots and artificial intelligence in Mexico. It sketches the broader context and background of the so called ‘fourth industrial revolution’ and reviews available data on the impact of automatization on work. While most such studies have centered on Europe and the United States, this paper argues that this issue s…

Los principales hallazgos indican que la tecnología es deseable cuando sirve para apoyar el trabajo del empleado, mas no para reemplazarlo.…

Building on different, recent contributions in institutional theory the present paper proposes to analyse such changing relations as an interactive social learning p…
Parity of Participation' and the Politics of Needs Interpretation
Service providers in Western welfare states have to engage with an increasingly differentiated citizenry. The arrival of new migrant communities triggers debates, negotiations and struggles over the needs of these communities and how service providers can engage with them. In this paper, we look at these processes of developing local social inclusion policies that target migrant communities through the perspective of Nancy Fraser's 'politics of n…
