The Strategic-Relational View of the State:

Abstract: This paper seeks to highlight the main elements of the ‘strategic-relational’ approach to (Marxist) state theory, developed particularly by Bob Jessop. The legacy of Nicos Poulantzas in particular is singled out for its importance in laying the foundations for such an approach. This is followed by a discussion of Jessop and his development of many ideas bequeathed by Poulantzas, culminating in various moves toward a strategic-relational analysis. These moves are then critically assessed, with some wider thoughts on the approach offered in conclusion

Privatization and Entrepreneurial Transformation: The Role of Developmental Financial Institutions

Abstract: With ongoing privatization efforts in emerging economies, governments have supported developmental financial institutions (DFI) to spur entrepreneurial activity in the absence of private venture capitalists. DFIs are quasi-governmental financial institutions with independent managerial control that often act within the constraints of a rapidly changing environment to support and accelerate privatization. In spite of their critical role in economic transformation, DFIs have received little attention in the management literature. We draw on two theoretical frameworks to develop an initial process model of DFI involvement with privatized firms in emerging economies. First, we use stakeholder theory to argue that post-privatization stakeholders differ in their motives to initiate organizational restructuring which is required for drawing DFI support. Second, we evoke the relational view of the firm to posit that DFI involvement generates relational rents that create value for the privatized entity. We discuss theoretical implications of including DFIs in privatization and management research in the emerging economy context.

Tri-relational view of human agency

Abstract: structural orientation. We often find ourselves working from this orientation in our daily lives as we tacitly respond to common, algorithmic-linguistic constructs. For example, when driving we often find ourselves systematically obeying the rules of the road, even when our minds are not consciously focusing on these rules. I will later demonstrate how these forms of intentionality are also more personally qualified by the attentive-interpretive stance of the functional structure of the left frontal lobe, but for now it is important to show how the emotional intentionality of the responsive-evocative continuum of subjectivity is also tacitly conditioned by the functional structures of the left temporal lobe. It has been found that patients with an excited left temporal lobe “tend to be obsessional, humorless, very concerned with religious ideas, and to have little interest in sex . . . “27 Stated differently, an excited left temporal lobe gives a manifest awareness of what is normally a background awareness that tacitly focuses on metapersonal concerns, e.g., curiosity, puzzlement respect and reverential awe. In addition, there is strong evidence that damage to the deeper parts of the temporal lobes, which are closer to the limbic system, “shows a sparing of immediate but not lasting memory function . . .”28 In support of this, it has also been demonstrated that the outer cortex of the left temporal lobe is partly responsible for our capacity of short-term procedural and declarative
