Selections from the prison notebooks of Antonio Gramsci

TL;DR: The first selection published from Gramsci's Prison Notebooks to be made available in Britain, and was originally published in the early 1970s as discussed by the authors, was the first publication of the Notebooks in the UK.
Abstract: Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks, written between 1929 and 1935, are the work of one of the most original thinkers in twentieth century Europe. Gramsci has had a profound influence on debates about the relationship between politics and culture. His complex and fruitful approach to questions of ideology, power and change remains crucial for critical theory. This volume was the first selection published from the Notebooks to be made available in Britain, and was originally published in the early 1970s. It contains the most important of Gramsci's notebooks, including the texts of The Modern Prince, and Americanism and Fordism, and extensive notes on the state and civil society, Italian history and the role of intellectuals. 'Far the best informative apparatus available to any foreign language readership of Gramsci.' Perry Anderson, New Left Review 'A model of scholarship' New Statesman

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) as agents of democratization is discussed and the emergence of dual, at times apparently conflicting policy postures within authoritarian regimes (restriction and repression for some CSOs vs financial support and opportunities for collaboration for others).
Abstract: In this introductory essay to the special issue on civil society in authoritarian and hybrid regimes, we review core themes in the growing literature on shrinking or closing space for civil society We discuss the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) as agents of democratization and note the emergence of dual, at times apparently conflicting policy postures within authoritarian regimes (restriction and repression for some CSOs vs financial support and opportunities for collaboration for others) We posit that different conceptual perspectives applied to civil society can help account for the duality of authoritarian postures and examine repercussions for three key subgroups of CSOs: claims-making (or advocacy) NGOs, nonprofit service providers and regime-loyal NGOs supporting often populist and nationalist discourses

TL;DR: In this article, two models of the relationship between the structure of professional knowledge and the professions' access to social rewards are tested based on data on the accounting professions of 28 countries and the results support Larson's "cognitive exclusiveness" theory which suggests that the professions gain rewards by standardizing their knowledge and institutionalizing the training of practitioners within universities, while simultaneously maintaining autonomy in practice.
Abstract: Two models of the relationship between the structure of professional knowledge and the professions' access to social rewards are tested based on data on the accounting professions of 28 countries. The results support Larson's ( The Rise of Professionalism , Berkeley: University of California Press, 1977) “cognitive exclusiveness' theory which suggests that the professions gain rewards by standardizing their knowledge and institutionalizing the training of practitioners within universities, while simultaneously maintaining autonomy in practice.
