Fostering Accessibility to Mental Health Services for Youth Experiencing Homelessness in Montreal, Canada
BACKGROUND: (RIPAJ) was established in Montréal in 2003 through collaboration between community and governmental health organizations. In 2016, RIPAJ joined the national Adolescent/Young Adult Connections to Community-driven Early Strengths-based Stigma-free services-Open Minds (ACCESS-OM) initiative, aiming to enhance mental healthcare accessibility for youth experiencing homelessness. AIMS: This study evaluates the impact of this integrated app…
The multifaceted nature of trust in the uptake of advice
What makes policy advice circulate more easily towards the apex of governments and shape the opinions of its users along the way? This article investigates the utilization of policy advice in ministerial cabinets, by focusing on the individuals appointed to work as closest aides of ministers: ministerial advisers. While we know quite a lot about the operation of policy advisory systems at the macro and meso levels, the micro-dispositions affectin…
Is Small Science Cargo Cult? Mimicry, Dependency and Agency in the Margins of Big Science
This paper argues that the application of the notion of cargo cults to science provides a valuable heuristic for revisiting the dichotomy between big and small science. By considering the use of the notion both by Cold War physicist and by anthropologists interpreting Melanese rituals, we suggest that cargo cult is better adapted (and adaptable) to small than to big science. We simultaneously understand small science as mimicry developed in a con…
Network dynamics in public health advisory systems
This study presents a dual‐method approach to systematically analyze public health advisory networks during the COVID‐19 pandemic across four jurisdictions: Belgium, Quebec, Sweden, and Switzerland. Using network analysis inspired by egocentric analysis and a subsystems approach adapted to public health, the research investigates network structures and their openness to new actors and ideas. The findings reveal significant variations in network c…
The relative effects of diversity on collective learning in local collaborative networks in Belgium
Collaborative networks are horizontal settings of public governance that enhance interactions between a diversity of actors (for example, civil servants, companies or citizens). They can help cross-cutting public policies (for example, climate policies) to gain coherence and become more innovative. To do so, collective learning, defined as the broadened and mutual understanding of public issues arising out of repeated social interactions, is crit…
Out of the ivory tower
The relevance and impact of political scientists’ professional activities outside of universities has become the focus of public attention, partly due to growing expectations that research should help address society’s grand challenges. One type of such activity is policy advising. However, little attention has been devoted to understanding the extent and type of policy advising activities political scientists engage in. This paper addresses this…
Policy advice utilization in Belgian ministerial cabinets
Ministerial cabinets hold a central place in the Belgian politico-administrative system, carrying out the bulk of policy formulation. However, they do not operate in isolation and rely on other actors of the policy advisory system for information supply and advice. They request, receive and use various advisory inputs. This article investigates how ministerial advisers utilize policy advice when they formulate policies. Based on a unique survey t…

Make it loud and simple
Based on a case study and media content analysis, we rely on insights from the advocacy coalition framework and from the narrative policy framework to conduct a congruence analysis of the French politics of hydraulic fracturing (2010-2017). Despite the lobbying of a resourceful coalition of pro-fracturing policy actors and their strategy of active participation in various professional forums, hydraulic fracturing was partially banned in 2011 and …
Closer than they look at first glance
Learning is a cognitive and social dynamic through which diverse types of actors involved in policy processes acquire, translate and disseminate new information and knowledge about public problems and solutions. In turn, they maintain, strengthen or revise their policy beliefs and preferences. Despite the conceptual and theoretical developments over the last years, concerns about the measurement of policy learning remain persistent. Based on the …
Too much of a good thing? A systematic review about the conditions of learning in governance networks
Learning is decisive for successful problem solving in governance networks: it is by acquiring, interpreting and diffusing information that public and private actors build joint action and innovative policy solutions. Yet, little is known about the conditions that lead to learning in such context. Following the PRISMA approach, we systematically reviewed 40 public administration studies that provide evidence about the individual, interpersonal an…
Policy advisory styles in the francophone Belgian civil service
In a context of the rising importance of ministerial advisers, this article provides empirical evidence about the nature of involvement of civil servants in policy work. Based on a survey of graduated civil servants in francophone Belgium, it shows that civil servants are much involved in policy work even in a politico-administrative system characterised by strong ministerial cabinets. Belgian francophone civil servants are ‘incidental advisors’.…

Policy Analysis in Belgium
The Moon for a twopence
In this article, I explore the epistemology of popular stargazing as it emerged in the nineteenth century. I want to chart the way in which the spectacle of the sky, a powerful metaphor of the Enlightenment, became an object of mass consumption in nineteenth-century Paris. Turning astronomy into a spectacle for wide audiences, I want to argue, went hand-in-hand with the emergence renewed forms of popular observations. To this end, I focus on the …

Le travail de proximité auprès des jeunes en situation de grande précarité soulève chez les aidants beaucoup d’émotions et d’interrogations tout en les confrontant à leur propre souffrance et à leurs fragilités. Afin de les aider à aider et contrer le risque de traumatisation vicariante , des espaces de parole et des lieux d’échange avec un tiers ont été créés dans divers milieux d’intervention. L’objectif étant de permettre aux intervenants d’él…
Des rencontres de proximité
Une équipe de proximité est née il y a plus de huit ans de préoccupations communes concernant la population des jeunes dits « de la rue », désaffiliés, en situation de grande précarité ou de rupture, et les intervenants qui vont à leur rencontre. Des rencontres de proximité qui ont su durer dans le temps, malgré des départs ou des changements et au gré de nouvelles arrivées. Un projet de partenariat , gravitant autour de valeurs et de principes c…
Non-owners' success
Water scarcity increases with growing human pressure and threatens the coexistence between heterogeneous users. Rival water users negotiate their competing claims by activating rules, and confronting them to come to local arrangements. The type of local arrangement capable of overcoming rivalry depends on the power that rules confer on the respective users. The property rights or public policies activated confer a role of owner or final beneficia…

The Elusive Placelessness of the Mont-Blanc Observatory (1893-1909)
ArgumentFrom 1893 to 1909 when it definitely sunk into the glacier, the Mont-Blanc Observatory (MBO) struggled to find its scientific purpose. In this article, we use recent literature on the social characterization of place to analyze this struggle. Our first goal is to investigate where the observatory may fit in the laboratory-field dyad. We investigate various kinds of conceptual "borderlands" between these places and look at the networking a…

The Fading Star of the Paris Observatory in the Nineteenth Century
Engulfing the Observatoire de Paris around 1860, the modernizing city clashed with the increasing precision required by astronomy. Suggestions to transfer the observatory to the suburbs gave rise to intense debates; these provide an enlightening standpoint for studying changes in observation and circulation regimes central to the mutations of both urban cultures and astronomical scientific practices. Moreover, these regime changes took place in a…

The Withering Immortality of Nicolas Bourbaki
The ArgumentThe group of mathematicians known as Bourbaki persuasively proclaimed the isolation of its field of research - pure mathematics - from society and science. It may therefore seem paradoxical that links with larger French cultural movements, especially structuralism and potential literature, are easy to establish. Rather than arguing that the latter were a consequence of the former, which they were not, I show that all of these cultural…

Asserted Rights; Rule Activation Strategies in Water User Rivalries in Belgium and Switzerland
Private arrangements are framed by a set of institutional rules, either public policies or property rights that actors activate in order to defend their positions. This is particularly visible in the field of the environment where human pressure is increasing scarcity and generating rivalries between competing users. How do rules intervene in the resolution of rivalries? I suggest that users activate rules to assert their rights against their riv…

Le corps, lieu de repères pour les jeunes de la rue ou la quête d'un territoire d'appartenance

La gestion de l'eau en Belgique. Analyse historique des régimes institutionnels (1804-2001)
Nombre de problèmes environnementaux actuels, parfois clairement tangibles pour chacun de nous, attestent de la dégradation des ressources naturelles et de la réelle mise en danger de leur capacité de renouvellement. Ces situations découlent généralement du fait que différents usagers d’une ressource renouvelable comme l’eau exploitent celle-ci de manière concomitante, chacun poursuivant ses intérêts propres et ignorant – de manière plus ou moins…

La ville à la campagne
Pour satisfaire ses besoins, la ville s’approprie diverses ressources de l’espace rural et en particulier, l’eau. Cet article analyse un conflit survenu dans les années 1960-70 à la suite d’affaissements de terrains dans la région de Mons-Borinage, dus à de nouveaux captages d’eau mis en service par la Compagnie des Eaux de Bruxelles et par l’administration nationale des travaux publics. Ces affaissements entraînent d’importants dégâts immobilier…

Les réformes vers une gestion intégrée de l’eau en Europe
La directive cadre européenne sur l’eau de 2000 promeut une gestion intégrée de l’eau qui insiste essentiellement sur l’établissement de règles procédurales en matière de planification territoriale et de participation. En comparant l’évolution historique des régimes institutionnels de l’eau dans six pays européens, nous montrons qu’une modification des règles procédurales n’est pas susceptible à elle seule d’atteindre l’intégration et la durabili…

The Hotel that Became an Observatory
ArgumentOne of the first high-altitude observatories was a hotel. Established in 1823, the chalet on Mount Faulhorn became a highpoint of nineteenth-century science. In this paper, I take this mountain as my entry point into the examination of the special attraction that mountains exerted on scientists. I argue that Mount Faulhorn stood for three different conceptions of the usefulness of the mountain in science: (1) in observation networks, stat…
