Bringing Aviation into the EU Emissions Trading Scheme : Institutional Entrepreneurship at Windows of Opportunity
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The present decade has experienced a boom in public and private interest in climate change. A frequently exposed industry in this debate has been aviation, not least international air transport, the greenhouse gas emissions of which have long remained unregulated. This exemption stemmed from several challenges in the search for a regulatory response to target this rapidly growing source of emissions, challenges that involve scientific, political, technological, and economic factors. Following the European Commission’s 2005 announcement of their intention to bring aviation into the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, this particular policy instrument was placed at the centre of the debate. This thesis presents an historical account, to help us understand the emphasis on emissions trading in this first non-domestic regulation to target international aviation’s climate change impact.This thesis offers explanations of the emissions trading proposal by examining the institutional process through which a climate policy for aviation was developed. It guides us through the transnational debate that unfolded across local and global arenas involving a wide range of organisations, not least with reference to the escalating climate change debate after 1997. Particular attention is paid to disputed developments at the EU arena but the study also reveals how significant driving forces to bring aviation into the EU Emissions Trading Scheme intensified in the national context of the United Kingdom. Building on qualitative data including a range of documents and interviews with key players in the field, this study highlights the complexity of the many organising activities involved in policy development. The analysis is largely based on integrating recent developments in organisational institutionalism into the major contours of the multiple streams approach of political scientist John W. Kingdon.The conclusions concern four important themes against which the proposal to include aviation in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme should be understood: the institutional context in which it was shaped; the organised collective that promoted emissions trading; the timing dimension of both agency and the process itself; and the significant transnational influences on EU policy. The theoretical contribution is primarily directed towards organisational institutionalism in demonstrating how regulatory processes are situated, not only in an institutional context but also in a powerful temporal context significantly dependent on a window of opportunity.

The Development of Swedish Business Journalism : Historical Roots of an Organisational Field
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Contemporary Swedish business journalism is an established organisational field with shared practice within and across organisations. Using a historical perspective, this dissertation investigates the early formation of this field and the formation of a shared meaning system for business journalism. Addressing the question of how and why the field emerged, the study contributes to institutional approaches in organisational analysis and theories about field development. Drawing on a qualitative longitudinal study, the analysis explores the source of today’s field of business journalism and examines the individuals, organisations, and activities that, during the 1960s and 1970s, laid the groundwork for subsequent field development. Five Swedish newspaper organisations are examined in detail: two business weeklies, Affärsvärlden and Veckans Affärer; the business daily, Dagens industri; and two general dailies, Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet. In particular, the study analyses the competencies that was considered necessary for producing business news; the models that functioned as positive examples for business journalists; and the accepted ways of selecting and presenting business news. The study concludes that nascent field formation developed through institutional entrepreneurial processes in the interplay among individuals, organisations, and societal developments. As individuals carried institutional logics from their previous affiliations in business or journalism, they contributed to the nascent field formation – not by breaking with their past, but by continuing, in a new setting, previous ways of approaching their work. The two institutional logics of business and journalism also permeated the newspaper organisations in which these individuals were active. The organisations functioned as platforms that enabled the early practice while setting boundaries for its development. The results suggest that fields develop incrementally and that institutional entrepreneurial processes embody greater continuity and stability than previous research in the area has suggested.
