  Social Geography of Risk: Which Approaches?

  Special session Annual Association of American Geographers Meeting

  In this session we want to focus on the definition of risk, the way this category is constructed, through which relations and which spatialities is forged. Building on real case studies, we are interested in understanding the role of geographers and social scientists when investigating the “societies at risk” and the “vulnerable” groups. Emerging issues in this area of work are related to the need to integrate environmental and social information and the fact that we have to face the implementation of complex investigations including among others: environmental measures, descriptive epidemiology, analytical studies, social surveys and GIS modeling.

  Trust and markets. Investigating social and cultural dimensions of trust

  American Anthropological Association

  Appel à communications pour l'atelier « Trust and markets. Investigating social and cultural dimensions of trust » organisé par T. Lau et B. Rubbers à l'occasion de la conférence de l'American Anthropological Association. Celle-ci aura lieu à Philadelphie du 2 au 6 décembre 2009. A developed body of literature on trust as an analytical concept exists in sociology, philosophy and economics. By contrast, the anthropological literature is comparatively poor: with few exceptions, anthropologists have neglected the explicit study of trust. Some existing anthropological studies on bazaar economies, markets and trade networks do engage with the topic of trust, but remain relatively unsophisticated in dealing with trust as an analytical concept.

  Management devices and the quest for performance in the public sector

  International Journal of Public Sector Performance Management (IJPSPM)

  For several decades, and with renewed vigour since the late 1980s, public action has been called into question. All public institutions: the State, local governments, health organizations, state-run companies have been the object of two types of criticism. Economic inefficiency was jointly denounced with what was perceived as lack of democracy, transparency, equality, fairness and even security.
