The foundations of influencing policy and practice
COVID‐19 demonstrated the complex manner in which discourses from risk science are manipulated to legitimize government action. We use Foucault's theory of Governmentality to explore how a risk science discourse shaped national and local government action during COVID‐19. We theorize how national government policymakers and local government risk managers were objectified by (and subjectified themselves to) risk science models, results, and discou…
Legitimacy and place leadership
This article explores through interviews the influence of legitimacy on place leadership within regional soft spaces in England during the COVID-19 pandemic. Legitimacy is an important yet underexamined facet of place leadership. Employing a tripartite legitimacy framework – input, throughput and output legitimacy – we illuminate novel insights on the nature of legitimacy relationships at different boundaries of regional soft spaces and how they …
Recovery for Development
Disasters are a primary influence in the global development landscape given their unequal impacts across society and calls for transformative change in their aftermath. Recovering from disasters is one component of development that is coming under scrutiny. This is especially so in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, whose scale, scope, and cascading effects mean that the uncertain prospects for recovery will be complicated and endure long term…
Resilience to disruptions
A soft spaces lens enables a nuanced perspective on regional resilience governance to disruptions. Focusing on COVID-19, this article illuminates comparative insights into resilience governance in England and how the regional soft spaces of local resilience forums differentially experienced this momentous disruptive event. The pandemic has exposed the limited ability of these regional soft spaces to enhance resilience to disruptions and thus narr…
Disaster reparations? Rethinking disaster recovery through the politics of affect
Disaster recovery holds an ambiguous status in debates on disaster politics. Whilst some scholars have documented recovery's tendency to reproduce and exacerbate the historical conditions that underpin disasters and guide their uneven effects, others emphasise its potential to instigate attempts to transform these conditions and initiate new development pathways premised on a commitment to building more just, equitable worlds. In this paper, we e…
Resilience, responsibility and state abandon
Scholars have explored how governmental agendas pursued in the name of resilience redistribute the responsibility for attending to emergencies amongst governments and communities. In this paper, we draw on two years of research with community groups responding to Covid-19 in the United Kingdom to deepen these debates concerning the effects of so-called 'responsibilization' amid appeals for resilience. Against popular claims that equate resilience…
People in a pandemic
How has the idea of community featured in attempts to build resilience to emergencies? The paper explores this question by presenting evidence from interviews with emergency responders across the world in the midst of the early and uncertain phases of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although reflecting different contexts, we discern two ways in which the notion of community featured in authorities' narrations of their efforts to respond to the pandemic. F…

Zwinglianische Eiflüsse in der Schottischen Reformation
Bekanntlich wurde die Reformierte Kirche in Schottland anno 1560 in aller Form rechtlich gegrundet. Aber auf welchen Wegen bis zu diesem Datum Jahrzehnte hindurch die theologischen Impulse zur Erneuerung von Glauben und Leben der Kirche nach Schottland gelangt und dort gefordert worden waren, daruber wissen wir wenig; es wird noch viel Forschungsarbeit notig sein, bis eine ausgewogene Berichterstattung uber diese Vorgeschichte erfolgen kann
Strategic ambiguity as a rhetorical resource for enabling multiple interests
The literature on ambiguity reflects contradictory views on its value as a resource or a problem for organizational action. In this longitudinal empirical study of ambiguity about a strategic goal, we examined how strategic ambiguity is used as a discursive resource by different organizational constituents and how that is associated with collective action around the strategic goal. We found four rhetorical positions, each of which drew upon strat…
Winning the Race
Estimates of voter turnout indicate that African Americans cast ballots at unprecedented rates in the 2008 presidential election. Given the presence of the first Black major party presidential nominee, this should be no surprise. But were heightened interest, efficacy, and a sense of racial identity due to the candidacy of Barack Obama the main factors contributing to the surge in Black voter turnout? Using data from the 1984 and 1996 National Bl…
The handedness of Kerrs and Carrs
The surnames Kerr and Carr have been claimed, on the basis of folkloric and etymological evidence, to be associated with an increased incidence of left‐handedness. In 1974 a survey by the Royal College of General Practitioners suggested that the incidence of left‐handedness was nearly three times as high in Kerr/Carr families as in controls. That survey was however potentially flawed by response biases. In the present study, which used better con…

Creative credits
This report examines the results of a pilot study, which used a method of evaluation called randomised control trials (RCTs) to see if a popular business support scheme called Creative Credits worked effectively. The pilot study, which began in Manchester in 2009, was structured so that vouchers, or 'Creative Credits', would be randomly allocated to small and medium-sized businesses applying to invest in creative projects such as developing websi…
