In asserting a role as protector of nations emerging from the postwar partitions, the League of Nations helped neutralize local struggles for independence.3 The conceptual framework of “transformative occupation” in the modern Middle East illuminates the techniques of foreign rule within these wider imperial histories while linking them to ambitious programs of development.4 Whether in the name of civilization or modernity, whether by a colonial or mandated power, imposing the practices of Western governance on “backward” peoples and space characterized trans- formative occupation regimes.5 In this essay, I examine how a particular practice within the political and diplomatic repertoire of transformative occupation—the promotion of local autonomy—was successfully deployed in the Israeli-Palestinian arena.

  • The Evolution of Observation in Management Theory
    Making Transparency Transparent: The Evolution of Observation in Management Theory Ethan S. Bernstein Harvard Business School Morgan Hall 345 Boston, MA 02163 617-682-7200 [email protected] Observation is key to management scholarship and practice. Yet a holistic view of its role in management has been elusive, in part due to shifting terminology. The current popularity of the term “transparency” provides the occasion for a thorough review, which finds (a) a shift in the object of observation from organizational outcomes to the detailed individual activities within them; (b) a shift from people observing the technology to technology observing people; and (c) a split in the field, with managers viewing observation almost entirely from the observer’s perspective, leaving the perspective of the observed to the realm of scholarly methodology courses and philosophical debates on privacy. I suggest how the literature on transparency and related literatures might be improved with research designed in light of these trends. KEYWORDS: transparency, privacy, performance, organizations, management theory ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: I thank Julie Battilana, Ethan Burris, Tim Earle, Amy Edmondson, John Elder, Elizabeth Hansen, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Joshua Margolis, Tsedal Neeley, Nitin Nohria, Shefali Patil, Kathy Qu, Ryan Raffaelli, Lakshmi Ramarajan, and Bradley Staats for feedback on prior versions of this work; Jim Detert, Sim Sitkin, and two anonymous reviewers for insightful and developmental feedback; and the Harvard Business School for financial support.

  • Studies of Alternative Journalism, 2003-2016 by Tony Harcup
    Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 By Tony Harcup A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Publication Department of Journalism Studies Faculty of Social Sciences University of Sheffield Submitted: October 2016 [Tony Harcup PhD by Publication: Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream] Extending our gaze beyond the mainstream: studies of alternative journalism, 2003-2016 SUMMARY The thesis comprises a series of nine studies that were all published in peer- reviewed journals or books between 2003 and 2016, accompanied and contextualised by a commentary setting out the coherence and significance of the research when viewed as a whole. This work is concerned with exploration of alternative media in general, and alternative journalism in particular. The submitted publications comprise separate studies that are linked thematically and point to the following conclusions: alternative journalism is not necessarily a failed project just because audiences tend to be small and the lifetime of any particular project tends to be short; there can be said to be a continuum of journalistic practice involving both mainstream and alternative media; and the reporting practices and ethical commitment found within alternative journalism can be seen as an expression of active citizenship. Taken together, the studies gathered in the submission make an original contribution to scholarship in the fields of alternative media and alternative journalism; in the process, they have much to say about journalism as a whole. As an original contribution to scholarship over a sustained period of enquiry, the thesis represents a substantial addition to our knowledge.
