Seguem indicações de novas ferramentas para acompanhar políticos, seus votos, suas promessas, o processo legislativo:

Congresso Aberto (congressoaberto.com.br) faz o acompanhamento do processo legislativo brasileiro. Trata-se de uma iniciativa de dois cientistas políticos brasileiros — Cesar Zucco e Eduardo Leone —, ambos professores nos Estados Unidos.

Blog de estatísticas eleitorais Vox Publica (blogs.estadao.com.br/vox-publica), do jornalista José Roberto de Toledo.

Faz falta por aqui ferramenta web como as que os americanos tiveram em 2008, em especial o On The Issues (ontheissues.org), vencedor do prêmio Pulitzer 2009 de jornalismo, e o PolitiFact (politifact.com), que construiu um “Obamômetro” para acompanhar as promessas de campanha de seu presidente.

O site Extrato Parlamentar, hospedado no site do Movimento Voto Aberto (extratoparlamentar.com.br), oferece uma ferramenta que calcula a afinidade política entre o internauta e os deputados federais. Assim, o eleitor pode saber quais são os candidatos que pensam de forma mais parecida com ele.

O funcionamento é simples: o internauta responde a 12 perguntas sobre projetos votados nominalmente na Câmara dos Deputados (se é a favor da Lei da Ficha Limpa ou se queria a prorrogação da CPMF, por exemplo) e o site compara as respostas com a posição de cada deputado. Depois, um modelo matemático ranqueia as respostas, mostrando quais os deputados mais afinados com o internauta em seu Estado e no país, com base no percentual de coincidência nas opiniões.

O site foi desenvolvido através de uma parceria entre o Voto Aberto e o grupo de Estudo Legislativos do Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento (Cebrap). O Cebrap forneceu as informações sobre processo legislativo necessárias para a elaboração do algoritmo que permite o cálculo de afinidade parlamentar realizado no site, dando suporte técnico ao conceito, concebido e desenvolvido por Rafael Lamardo e seus colegas, do Movimento Voto Aberto.

O objetivo do site, em um contexto pré-eleitoral, é prover o eleitor de informações que possam ajudá-lo no momento de decidir seu candidato. Trata-se de uma ferramenta democrática que pretende ajudar a qualificar sua decisão, na medida em que possibilita a avaliação da atuação concreta, sobre temáticas específicas, dos parlamentares ao longo do governo anterior. Cabe frisar, porém, que essa não deve ser a ferramenta principal, nem tampouco a única, utilizada pelo eleitor para formar sua decisão.

A construção da ferramenta de análise de afinidades é realizada através de critérios puramente técnicos e científicos. Não há qualquer viés ou preferência partidária em sua construção.

• [Social Capital and Economic Performance: A Meta-analysis of 65 Studies - European Planning Studies] This paper summarizes 15 years of empirical research at various spatial levels on social capital and economic performance. On the firm level, results are unambiguous: there is strong evidence of the impact of social capital on firms' performance. However, the results become less clear for spatial units with a large number of anonymous actors. The contradictory results of studies on national and regional levels can be explained in part by insufficient measures of the main component parts of social capital: social networks and the norms and values distributed among them. To develop measures for values like creativity, entrepreneurship and tolerance, and to find better measures for social networks, are the main challenges to future research. socialcapital social_capital capital_social academia publicacao economia economics

• [Critical social science, pragmatism and the realities of HRM - The International Journal of Human Resource Management] The notion of the sociological imagination provides inspiration and valuable guidelines for a type of realist research which, in addition to informing people directly implicated in human resourcing activities, has the potential to inform democratic processes as opposed to furthering the particular interests of one segment of society. To do this, it is helpful to adopt a realist and a philosophically pragmatist style of thinking. In line with pragmatist principles, it is argued that we are better placed to get to grips with the realities of human resourcing principles and practices if we conceptualise 'HRM' in terms of labour or employment management generally rather than treat it as just one variant of employment management. It is also important to appreciate the vital connection between HRM and bureaucracy. Pragmatism also provides a methodological base for theory development and research on HRM processes, working in the sociological-imagination tradition. academia artigos administracao estudos_organizacionais orgtheory methodology metodologia pragmatismo

• [Are Happier People Better Citizens? by Cahit Guven] This paper presents evidence on causal influence of happiness on social capital and trust using German Socio-Economic Panel. Exploiting the unexplained cross-sectional variation in individual happiness (residuals) in 1984 to eliminate the endogeneity problem, the paper finds that happier people trust others more, and importantly, help create more social capital. Specifically, they have a higher desire to vote, perform more volunteer work, and more frequently participate in public activities. They also have a higher respect for law and order, hold more association memberships, are more attached to their neighborhood, and extend more help to others. Residual happiness appears to be an indicator of optimism, and has an inverse U-shaped relationship with social capital measures. The findings also suggest that the relationship between happiness and social capital strengthened in the world in the last decade. happiness felicidade socialcapital social_capital capital_social ecn_civil politica admpublica

• [Reflections: The Past and Future of Research on Institutions and Institutional Change - Journal of Change Management] De Richard Scott . – The study of institutions has a long history, but recent efforts stress the significance of symbolic elements in shaping social life. Although institutional processes and structures operate from the most micro interpersonal level to the most macro transocietal level, most research during the past few decades has concentrated on higher levels, such as the organization field. Institutional scholarship has been strongly influenced by structuration theory and, as a consequence, has given increasing attention to processes of institutional reinforcement and change. Directions of development showing promise include attention to intermediaries in fields, social movement processes, instituted modes of change, and transnational institution-building. instituicao orgtheory organizational_theory estudos_organizacionais artigos

  O “segredo” está nos mapas que têm uma edição semi-aberta. Um usuário pré-cadastrado pode inserir (plotar) pontos no mapa de locais interessantes para sair, relatos sobre um local, mas também indicar áreas perigosas na cidade. Mapear crimes.

• [Social Capital, Diversity, and the Welfare State - University of British Columbia Press] Social capital is arguably the most critical idea to emerge in the social sciences in the last two decades. Emphasizing the importance of social networks, communication, and the symbolic and material exchanges that strengthen communities, social capital has been the subject of an expansive body of literature. Social Capital, Diversity, and the Welfare State represents a landmark consideration of the diverse meanings, causal foundations, and positive and negative consequences of social capital, with a particular focus on its role in mitigating or enhancing social inequalities.

  The chapters, written by economists, political scientists, and sociologists, address a range of empirical and theoretical issues. This book is cutting-edge addition to the field that offers fresh insights into the conceptualization, operation, sources, and consequences of social capital in Canadian society. livros_editoras capital_social sociology social_capital socialcapital diversidade pesquisa

• [Center for the Study of Economy & Society (CSES)] In recognition of the excellence of economic sociology at Cornell, the University established the Center for the Study of Economy and Society in 2001. Named after Max Weber's influential book Economy and Society, the Center's mission is to extend the core ideas and insights pioneered by Weber in a new institutionalist approach to the study of economy, society, and polity. CSES focuses on supporting advances in theory and research on institutions, organizations, networks, norms, beliefs, and rationality in the study of economy and society. Based in the Department of Sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences, CSES also draws on the talents of leading figures from other disciplines and colleges across the University who participate as advisory committee members, speakers for events, collaborators in research, and contributors to the Center's working groups. socecn sociology artigos research pesquisa

• [Immanent transcendence in Georg Simmel's sociology of religion -- Vandenberghe 10 (1): 5 -- Journal of Classical Sociology] This article presents a systematic reconstruction of Georg Simmel’s sociology of religion. Following the development of his sociology of religion, it successively analyses religion as a form of interaction, as a symbolic form and as a personal form. The main argument is that all of Simmel’s writings are metaphysical and that religion is only one form among others that gathers the fragments of existence into a unified totality. Religiosity is the central category of Simmel’s writings on religion. It ‘detranscendentalizes’ religion and locates its conditions of possibility within the aspirations of wholeness of the soul. religiao religion simmel sociology artigos

In this article, co-citation analysis and social network analysis techniques are used to research intellectual structure of the business ethics literature. We are able to identify the important publications and the influential scholars as well as the correlations among these publications by analyzing citation and co-citation. Three factors emerged in this study are: (1) ethical/unethical decision making, (2) corporate governance and firm performance, and (3) ethical principles and code of conduct. etica business artigos

By analyzing the structural embeddedness of a prototypical blog in a virtual community, we show the potential of online platforms to document corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and to engage with an increasingly socially and ecologically aware stakeholder base. The results of this study show that stakeholder involvement via sustainability blogs is a valuable new practice for CSR communications and stakeholder engagement. It also opens new horizons for communicating CSR issues to key constituencies online. respsocial_microcredito responsabilidade artigos blog

It draws on the history of religion and religious organizations as elaborated by several promoters of the so-called ‘new histor y’ in France.These historians (mainly medievalist) can be helpful in writing a different genealogy of contemporary models of collective action (i.e. ways of reaching a goal together) and their institutional context in western countries.They can also facilitate a critical understanding of long-range organizational dynamics. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory religiao religion acaocoletiva
• [Lost in translation: Bringing Hirschman's concept of voice back into the spirit of capitalism -- Christiansen 5 (1): 19 -- Management & Organizational History] The New Spirit of Capitalism relied heavily upon the theory of organizational decline and the concepts of exit and voice developed by Albert O. Hirschman in his seminal essay, Exit, Voice, and Loyalty from 1970. As a result, capitalism and its spirit were thought within an organizational paradigm. However, the integration of Hirschman’s theory was not unproblematic, since voice was excluded from the level of organizations, resulting in a failure to account for internal critique. By revisiting Hirschman’s theory, the context in which it developed, and by juxtaposing this with the theory of The New Spirit of Capitalism, it is argued that the spatial metaphors of ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ of capitalism should be revised, along with a revision of the analogy between capitalism and an organization. Ultimately, critique always comes from ‘within’. artigos orgtheory organization organizational_theory capitalismo
