The most prominent features of the delegative chain in Spanish parliamentarism are an imbalance between delegation and accountability in general and an extreme concentration of power in the hands of the Prime Minister. There is a lot more delegation than accountability when it comes to the chain that links voters to MPs and MPs to the Prime Minister. Voters simply cannot influence the actions of their representatives and MPs are similarly in a weak position vis-à-vis their party’s leadership and the Prime Minister. On the other hand, regarding the part of the chain that links the Prime Minister to cabinet ministers and cabinet ministers to civil servants, the observation is the opposite: delegation shrinks, while accountability soars.Less

This chapter examines the story of Anglican–Roman Catholic relations since the days following the Second Vatican Council to see what has proved effective and what counterproductive in receptive ecumenical learning. Among the lessons learned is that if there is to be a real reception of one another in faith and life then the personal and relational is prior. There has to be a real getting to know one another at all levels of the life of the two communions, a real appreciation of the gifts the other has to offer, and an inclination to receive as well as to give. Receptive Ecumenism requires the involvement not just of leaders and theologians but of whole communities that desire to get to know one another, are open to learn from each other, and accept that renewal and change is required for the sake of fidelity to the Gospel and for more credible mission and service. Receptive Ecumenism also requires effective leadership. Those charged with a ministry of unity must be committed to the visible unity of the church and prepared, as part of their ministry, to take responsibility, personally and collegially, and increasingly in shared collegiality, for nurturing the communion that already exists and directing the processes of Receptive Ecumenism.Less

Mentoring and collaboration are cornerstones of modern science, but they also raise some ethical problems and dilemmas. This chapter explores a variety of issues related to mentoring and collaboration. It discusses some of the moral dimensions of mentoring and collaboration, such as proper training, setting examples, trust, accountability, and collegiality. It also considers some reasons why collaborations sometimes fail in research and addresses policies designed to promote collaboration and effective mentoring. The chapter also discusses leadership in mentoring, collaboration, and other professional relationships in science.Less

This chapter examines informality and collegiality at PubliCare Hospital. In part, informality and collegiality at PubliCare seemed to result from organizational inertia—the same people had been working in the same ways for decades. However, this environment also seemed to reflect the care that the hospital delivered. Just as practitioners were forced to rely on informal ties and reciprocal obligations to take care of their patients, the same ties and obligations found their way into practitioners' relationships with one another. As one doctor put it, “You're in it together, and there's a camaraderie [at PubliCare].” The chapter considers the possible factors that contributed to PubliCare's egalitarianism, as well as the shared responsibility between its doctors, nurses, and managers. It also looks at Westside Health Corporation's alliance with Sierra Medical Foundation, its enlistment of entrepreneurs, and its decision to close PubliCare.Less

The Justices of the Supreme Court function not just as individuals but also as members of a group. Political science models of Supreme Court decision making, however, focus on the legal and policy goals of individual Supreme Court Justices. By not taking into account what role intra-group dynamics may play in Court decision making, political science models provide an incomplete and inaccurate picture. For example, when there is an ideologically simpatico majority coalition on the Court, the preferences of the Court's median Justice often give way to intra-group preferences. In this chapter, we employ social psychology literature to examine both the importance of and the obstacles to group formation. By comparing differences in decision making of the (largely simpatico) New Dal Court and the (very diverse) Rehnquist Court, we illustrate how social psychology can contribute to an understanding of Supreme Court decision making.Less

According to the Branch Theory, which was popular in nineteenth‐century England, the Catholic Church exists in three forms: Roman, Orthodox, and Anglican. In contrast to this view, the Catholic Church considers that, to be authentically Catholic, one must be in communion with Rome. The bishop of Rome presides over a communion of particular churches that have their own ecclesial identity under their respective bishops. Vatican II understands the bishop of Rome as being related to the other bishops analogously as Peter was to the other apostles. Some Lutherans, Anglicans, and Orthodox, perceiving the need for an effective primacy, favour the restoration, under certain conditions, of Roman primacy for their own churches. The link between the primatial office and the city of Rome rests upon a long historic tradition that seems destined to stand, though it is not inconceivable that the Petrine succession could be transferred to another see.Less

Using a risk management framework, the book discusses the landscape of U.S. higher education and faculty employment decisions. Topics include institutional differences, challenges facing colleges and universities, the erosion of academic standards, administrative bloat, changing promotion and tenure standards, sexual harassment, and Title IX concerns about campus safety. Attention is also given to the manner in which faculty members are hired and mentored and the decision-making biases that affect the way in which faculty members are granted promotion and tenure. The social psychological aspects of faculty employment decisions have been largely ignored in the literature, and we attempt to shed some light on these issues as we deconstruct promotion and tenure decisions. Traditional legal concepts of contract and employment law are examined as they pertain to hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions along with the cherished, but changing, ideals of free speech, academic freedom, and collegiality that have altered how faculty must deal with the rising tensions of political correctness on campus.Less

This chapter offers a short prefatory reflection on the role and responsibility of a judge of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the contemporary international legal system. As a main organ of the United Nations (UN), the ICJ presents an annual written report to the UN on its work. And in recent years the practice has grown whereby the president addresses the General Assembly and its Sixth Committee (and perhaps even the Security Council). The generalised responsibility of the ICJ judge also puts an emphasis on collegiality. This chapter does not believe that ICJ judgments are ‘weakened’ by separate or dissenting opinions. While the ICJ judges are elected in their personal capacities, they must through their work serve the entire international community, and not any one particular region or legal system. There is a process by which optimal answers can be arrived at, with leading guidance given by those decision-makers entrusted by the international community with that task. This is the contemporary challenge in international law, and the particular responsibility of the international judge.Less

The size of the Commons varies according to population growth modified by the aim of equalizing the size of constituencies. Adjustments are proposed by the impartial Boundaries Commissions. Even after the departure of most hereditaries, the Lords remains a large House. Parliaments last roughly four years. The Electoral Commission registers and monitors donations to political parties and election expenses. Members' salaries are no longer under Commons control but allowances remain a difficulty. Decennial and a recent mid‐decade reapportionment of a fixed number of House seats based on State laws drawing partisan boundaries, coupled with non‐inclusive primary voter participation and the increased costs of election and constant fund‐raising by incumbents impacts on the quality of Members, their willingness to work collegially, and on their legislative productivity.Less

Organizations performing non-routine, innovative, often knowledge-intensive tasks, for example, professional partnerships need a rather flat, collegial, and non-bureaucratic structure. This book examines cooperation among partners in a US corporate law firm and provides a grounded theory of collective action among rival peers, or collegiality. Members (partners and associates) are portrayed as independent entrepreneurs who build social niches in their organization and cultivate status competition among themselves. This behaviour allows them to fulfil their commitment to an extremely constraining partnership agreement and generates informal social mechanisms (bounded solidarity, lateral control, oligarchic regulation) that help a flat organization govern itself: maintain individual performance, even for tenured partners; capitalize knowledge and control quality; monitor and sanction opportunistic free-riding; solve the ‘too many chefs’ problem; balance the powers of rainmakers and schedulers; and integrate the firm in spite of many centrifugal forces. These mechanisms and the solutions they provide are examined using a broadly-conceived structural approach combining theory-driven network analysis, ethnography of task forces performing knowledge-intensive work, and analysis of management and internal politics in the firm. The author presents a theory of the collegial organization that generalizes its results to all kinds of partnerships.Less

The scriptural and patristic understanding that ‘the Eucharist makes the Church’ was recovered in the ressourcement that preceded the Second Vatican Council and reflected in the teaching of the council itself. This chapter provides a brief historical and theological account of the relationship between the Eucharist and the church, highlighting the medieval shift that resulted in the church being understood more juridically than sacramentally, and focusing on major figures, both Catholic (e.g. Henri de Lubac) and Orthodox (e.g. Nicholas Afanassieff), who contributed to the modern renewal of eucharistic ecclesiology. Understanding the Eucharist as ‘the principal manifestation of the Church’, the council spoke of local communities as churches, of bishops as high priests, and developed the crucial doctrine of episcopal collegiality to complement the First Vatican Council's teaching on the papacy.Less

This essay takes a broad look at the concept and the exercise of authority in the Catholic tradition and then focuses on the process of decision making during the Council, leading to the Constitution on the Church (Lumen Gentium) and to the Decree on bishops (Christus Dominus). While these documents mark a definitive shift to a more collegial and less monarchical structure of authority, the postconciliar implementation has been difficult and inconclusive. Fifty years after the Council the Church still does not have a system in place that fully honors episcopal collegiality. In his first statements and initiatives Pope Francis has shown his commitment to redressing an overly centralized mode of church governance and to creating more room for decision making on the level of national and regional conferences of bishops.Less

This chapter considers the reasons why digital humanities is often described as “nice.” In contrast to other disciplines where suspicion, envy, and territoriality sometimes seem to rule, the field of digital humanities is associated with collegiality, openness, and collaboration. The community welcomes new practitioners easily and does not seem to get in lots of fights. The chapter proposes that digital humanities is nice because those in it are often more concerned with method than they are with theory. A focus on method means that arguments are short and easily resolved, and thus digital humanities stays nice.Less

This chapter discusses the networks of collegiality underlying the duchy's politicization in the 1790s. It also illustrates how tutelage acquired an explicitly progressive cast among one group of scribes inspired by the ideas of the French Revolution. The chapter then shows how formal texts acted to facilitate, and then thwart, a collegiality underlying the entire Black Forest campaign. The Black Forest's collegiality undergirded its traditionally “refractory” politics in the Landtag and sharpened the region's sense of alienation from the rest of the duchy. The chapter then focuses on the effort to convert Black Forest scribes' tutelage into a more publicly negotiable currency of influence. It demonstrates the limits of evolution in a corporative system Hofacker and his allies had pushed to the limit in the Black Forest Cahier, and the Reform Landtag it helped to inaugurate.Less

The Black Forest's collegiality undergirded its traditionally “refractory” politics in the Landtag and sharpened the region's sense of alienation from the rest of the duchy. The chapter then focuses on the effort to convert Black Forest scribes' tutelage into a more publicly negotiable currency of influence. It demonstrates the limits of evolution in a corporative system Hofacker and his allies had pushed to the limit in the Black Forest Cahier, and the Reform Landtag it helped to inaugurate.

This chapter explains how, after Napoleon's invasions, the synthesis of formality and collegiality collapsed under civil society's separation from the state. The scribes ceased to function as a mediating class and instead became the agents of administrative colonization. The impressive jump in the incomes of New Württemberg Schreiber can be attributed to the massive adjustments inherent in a change of regime: Vielschreiberei resulted when the scribes applied a battery of new textual formalities to localities previously unaccustomed to them. The constitutional discourse of the Good Old Law hindered a greater political unity by poisoning the mutual relationships binding government and people with defensiveness and suspicion. Friedrich List's writings defined the new role formality should play in modern civic culture. List's publications represented the emancipation of writing from all aspects of the scribes' influence; they gave a voice to a civil society now fully liberated from textual serfdom.Less

Blackmun knew that humility was a fundamental requirement for those who possessed high office, and he was also well aware of some aspects of Warren Burger's personality that may seem unappealing and rather distasteful. Burger seemed to be aggressive and domineering as he was unable to hold back from expressing his personal preferences within Court collegiality. Several comments have been articulated and also conveyed through certain publications regarding how some of Burger's colleagues seemed to have been dissatisfied with the attitude of the Court's new leader. Despite this, Burger and Blackmun still shared a certain closeness, and Burger perceived Blackmun to be an ally who shared the same ideals regarding various Court issues. This chapter also shows Blackmun's participation in the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program and other social assistance programs, which exhibited his sensitivity to the concerns of the less fortunate. It also considers Blackmun and Burger's efforts concerning Cohen and other cases.Less

Collegiality is an elusive and poorly-defined concept—one that is hard to articulate but "We know it when we see it." This chapter examines cases in which the ideal of collegiality is at issue. But because of its vagueness, no one is exactly sure where collegiality fits in to hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions. The notion of collegiality is examined from the perspective of the literature on organizational citizenship behavior (commonly known as OCB). Included in the discussion are the similarities and differences between collegiality and civility. The chapter also examines the socialization process in academia and the possible dampening effect of collegiality on academic freedom.Less

Gender and collegiality/managerialism are used as alternative interpretative frameworks in explaining the under representation of women in senior management. Gender is seen as a multi-level phenomenon: existing at the individual; the interactional; the organisational and the institutional level. This research project was undertaken in relation to an international project involving UK, Turkey, Sweden, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa (Bagilhole and White, 2011). In each country the samples were purposive and a common interview guide was used. The Irish sample consisted of those at the top three layers of management in all Irish public universities: namely President, Vice President and Dean. It included both men and women; manager-academics and other professionals: with a response rate of 85 per cent. The method of data collection was a face-to-face interview and the data was analysed thematically. The wider international context for the study provides a salutary challenge to ‘Irish exceptionalism’ (O’Dowd, 1996).Less

The collegial structure of universities, with their stress on election to management positions (the metaphor of the Gentleman’s Club) is being replaced by managerialism. Below the level of President, the apparent objectivity of managerialism conceals a personal and arbitrary power (reflected in the metaphor of the Medieval Court). Senior managers, particularly manager-academics, are appointed through the ‘blessing of the President’ but without the discipline of profit as the ultimate ‘bottom line’. Women make up one fifth of those at this level, illustrating the gendered nature of that ‘blessing’. A collegial discourse remains an important source of legitimacy for managerialist power: power that is also reflected in the role of the President as Chief Executive OfficerLess
