▼ Managing supply chain relations has evolved over a decade and many companies have given importance to regulate their relations in supply chain relations to stay competitive in the market. In this context of adjusting relations among supply chain members, central point of discussion is the role of power. Power can be a component that persuades one member of supply chain to do certain things that he/she wouldn’t agree on doing it voluntarily. The implication of that power among supply chain members is called as power relations. These power relations between the supply chain members need to be sustained under circumstances of whether the power is balanced or not balanced between the two actors. The key research questions are formulated as followed, What is the perspective of the supply chain members regarding to the role of power relations among supply chain actors?How do the cost, transparency, reliability and flexibility help to sustain the power relations in supply chain? In order to answer these questions, structured literature review was conducted. The conceptual model to sustain the supply chain relations included four main components that were cost, transparency, reliability and flexibility. Interviews were conducted in three companies located in Sweden, Turkey and India. The company profiles regarding to power relations in this dyadic relationship were the main concern. The three cases tested were supplier dominancy, mutual dependency and subordinate buyer. In this thesis, we accomplished how supply chain members sustained their relations under the influence of power practices among supply chain members. We concluded our thesis study, showing the inter-connection in between these four elements to enable the sustainability of power relations. Moreover, we inferred that even though power seems to be a negative concept, the companies are able to maintain their power relations through awareness of existing power. In addition to that, the companies don’t give equal importance to each four elements though each element is present to maintain the power relations in their dyadic supply chain relationship.

▼ In the Information Systems (IS) discipline there has been a continued interest in understanding how IT or IS development, implementation and use draw from and impact on social and
power relations and the distribution of
power in various contexts. This thesis aims to understand the role that the implementation and use of an enterprise system such as ERP can play in the (re)configuration, (re)construction and exercise of
power in organisational contexts. To achieve the aim, the thesis i) draws from extensive literature related to IS (and specifically ERP) and
power, ii) develops a Foucauldian theoretical foundation to study ERP and
power in organisational contexts and iii) examines a case of an ERP implementation and use in a State Owned Enterprise (SOE) in China as part of an ongoing modernization program. The thesis answers the following empirical research questions:1. How are various forms of exercise of
power and control enacted through the ERP system implementation and use in business processes and practices?2. How do these enactments reconfigure
power relations and reconstitute the regime of truth? 3. What is the role of the ERP system in such a process of
power (re)construction?The case study demonstrates how the ERP implementation aimed at rationalizing business processes led to largely covert attempts at increasing surveillance, standardization, disciplining, and subjugation. These attempts are met with counteraction in various forms through a ‘care of the self’, including overt resistance, e.g. openly challenging and arguing, non-participation, and covert resistance, e.g. distancing, persistence, creating workarounds. The analysis reveals the outcomes of the ERP implementation do not only result from the perception of technological (mis)fit or the interpretation by powerful groups but more importantly spring from mutual constitution of the ERP system and the human actors leading to reconfiguration of
power relations. This is explained by proposing a concept of
power-technology nexus as an instance of the broader notion of
power/knowledge discussed by Foucault. The emergence of
power-technology nexus indicates that the more ERP enabled processes get enacted, the more ERP becomes integral to the circulation and exercise of
power, and the more the ERP system becomes a material embodiment of the
power/knowledge nexus, thus a transformative agent. These empirical and theoretical results contribute not only to better understanding of the mutual reconstruction of
power and technology, but also provide a theoretical foundation for a more critical view of the wider societal and political consequences of technology that can help inform both research and practice.

▼ Using critical applied linguistics, and drawing on the concept of power as theorised by Foucault, this study examines issues of power and pedagogical practices that influenced the teaching of writing to Thai English Foreign Language (EFL) primary students. Carspecken’s critical ethnographic approach was adopted to gather data. The research yielded findings concerning power relations that operated in the enactment of EFL pedagogies for teaching writing in Thai schools. The research has theoretical significance for understanding EFL writing education in Thailand in the context of the international spread of English in the twenty-first century.

▼ The public
relations industry, an industry comprised of mostly Caucasian practitioners, is suffering from a clear lack of racial and ethnic diversification. Many racially diverse practitioners have a hard time being recruited and flourishing at their positions within an organization, let alone entering top management. This issue is indicative of PR’s reputation of being a lily-white profession and can be attributed to the
power dynamics within an organization. Using a theoretical framework of
power relations, this study explored whether
power can be used by racially diverse practitioners in the minority group through the strategic formation of
power relations given their agency’s
power dynamics. The 21 interviews suggest
power relations are employed by diverse practitioners and are heavily based on dissimilarities. Interviewees claim
power relations prove to be beneficial in advancing their careers and helping them avoid instances of pigeonholing, micro inequalities, tokenism and termination.

▼ In this thesis, I use Foucault’s methods of discourse
analysis and genealogy, and my own experiences as a Paralympic
athlete, to analyze and critique the power relations of the
Paralympic Movement. In Chapter 1, I contextualize my study by
discussing relevant literature in Critical Disability Studies,
Sociology of Sport and Adapted Physical Activity, and by
introducing my methodological and epistemological frameworks. In
Chapter 2, I analyze two historical accounts of the Paralympic
Movement to demonstrate how they discursively represent, reproduce
and justify Paralympic power relations. In Chapters 3 through 5, I
use genealogy to critique Paralympic power relations: analyzing
their systems of differentiation, types of objectives, instrumental
modes, forms of institutionalization and degrees of
rationalization. This analysis brings to the forefront how
discourses of empowerment reproduce, justify and conceal the
increasingly rationalized structures that enable Paralympic experts
to act upon the actions, bodies and identities of those
experiencing disabilities.

▼ Violence against teachers in Swedish schools, according to recent reports has increased and there have been many studies to investigate the situation for teachers. The surveys show that teachers are especially vulnerable to students. This study aims to examine the relationship between a number of teachers and their students to study the power relations that exist in the classroom. This is to see what violence is an expression of and also how violence is perceived by the teachers. The issues that are central in this study are:
What is the importance of dialogue in the relationship between these teachers and their students?
Is there power relations between teachers and their students?
What is the violence against teachers and expression of?
Is there any connection between dialogue, power relations and violence?
The theories of the materials in this study was analyzed using power relations theories of the historian of ideas Michel Foucault and Philosophy Doctor Anders Persson, who to some extent has his theoretical basis in Foucault’s power relations. The material is interviews with four teachers in upper secondary schools and analysis of the results is my interpretation of the material by applying the theories of power relations. The study shows that the dialogue is important for these teachers in their relationships with their students. There are power relations in the classroom and at school, in the form of disciplinary authority vested in the school. Violence is something that rarely occurs and the violence can be seen as a resistance of students against the exercise of power that occurs at school and in teaching.

▼ Motivated by the current trends of rapid population aging and increasing gender equality in education in China, this dissertation examines how extended family relationships influence marital
power dynamics and how marital
power dynamics influence intergenerational relationships using data from the China Family Panel Studies.
Chapter 1 examines how intergenerational coresidence modifies the association between wives’ education and their decision-making
power. Past research on household decision-making has focused on nuclear families and rarely considered extended households. This paper finds that wives’ education increases the probability of their having the final say in nuclear households but not in extended households where they live with their parents-in-law. These findings underscore the importance of examining how intergenerational relationships may influence wives’ decision-making
power at home.
Chapter 2 examines whether wives’ and husbands’ parental education is associated with wives’ decision-making
power, net of wives’ and husbands’ education. Past research on household decision-making has focused on the husband-wife dyad and rarely considered the role of extended family members. This paper finds that wives’ parental education is positively associated with the probability of wives having the final say, net of the education of wives, husbands, and husbands’ parents. However, this association decreases as husbands’ parental education increases. These findings demonstrate that marital relationships are embedded in extended family relationships. Educational attainment in one generation may have a lingering impact on the marital
power of the next generation.
Chapter 3 examines how the wife’s education modifies the association between the husband being the only son and the couple’s living arrangements. Past research on intergenerational coresidence has focused on parent-child dyads and rarely considered how the wives of adult male children influence living arrangement decisions. This paper finds that among couples in which the husband is the only son, education enables rural women to opt out of coresidence with their parents-in-law and enables urban women to live with their own parents. These findings demonstrate that marital
power dynamics have important implications for intergenerational relationships.
Together, this dissertation contributes to our understanding of the interaction between marital
power dynamics and intergenerational relationships in contemporary China.

▼ In the past twenty years an increasing number of Global South nations have vied for the rights to host prestigious and expensive sport mega events. This trend requires significant reflection given the enormous economic costs of these events, which often produce little capital gain for the host nation (Whitson & Horne, 2006). Furthermore, sport mega events are often utilized for their symbolic capital (Belanger, 2009), which sometimes manifests through forcing people from their land for the sake of “beautification” (Davis, 2006). In this project, then, I asked how technologies of power were utilized by FIFA, corporate stakeholders, and the South African government to control people who were marginal to, or impeded the success of, the World Cup in Nelspruit, South Africa. This project consisted of two parts: the first involved constructing a theoretical framework for better understanding power as it operates through sport mega events in general. To this end I employed Marxian notions of the ordering of physical space, Foucauldian conceptions of sovereignty and governmentality, and Agamben’s (1998) state of exception to determine how particular bodies are constituted and controlled through sport mega events. In the second part, I applied this theoretical framework to the events in South Africa to better elucidate how people became displaced and killed because of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. I used South African popular news and documentaries as empirical evidence and conducted a discursive analysis of said news media. Through this coverage it became apparent that the mega event created the conditions in which new forms of rogue sovereign partnerships could arise through a historically and spatially contingent process of capitalism. The rogue sovereigns’ para-juridico-political orders, the discourses and practices of accumulation by dispossession as a tactic and effect of govermentality, and other historical non-capital subjectivities such as racial identity, all contributed to constituting Agamben’s state of exception in which people could be displaced, killed or left to die in the events surrounding the World Cup.

▼ Why do some shifts in
power between states pass off peacefully while others result in conflict? Scholars have debated the implications of international
power transitions at least since Thucydides in his History of the Peloponnesian War documented the rise of Athens and the fear that this aroused in Sparta. Must the rise in
power of a potential challenger lead to jealousy, enmity and conflict as Thucydides claims was the case in antiquity? Or can established and rising powers find common ground on the world stage? Most attempts to answer these questions have focused on the decision-making calculus of rising states or else have modeled abstract dyadic
relations between two rational actors under conditions of shifting
power. In this dissertation, I shift the analytic focus onto the decision-making of established Great Powers, examining the international and domestic-political circumstances under which states will acquiesce to or promote the rise of another state and when they will instead seek to stymie the rise of a potential rival. The dissertation advances the notion that established Great Powers act as critical “gatekeepers” of world order. In the context of shifting
power, established Great Powers are by definition materially stronger than their rising challengers—at least during the initial phases of a
power transition. As such, established Great Powers are able to apply their preponderant power—military, economic, political and diplomatic—in ways that shape the opportunity structures available to would-be challengers. I provide an argument to explain when and why an established state will see discharge this gatekeeping function in a way that is conciliatory towards a rising state and when its leaders will, instead, opt for a strategy of containment. The model has implications for reading international history; International
Relations theory on grand strategy, security studies and international order; and for contemporary public policy debates surrounding the rise of China and the other so-called BRICS nations. Evidence is drawn from a comparative historical analysis of British and American responses to rising states, 1890-1990.

▼ The purpose of this research is to explore the impact of the social unconscious on organizational learning in Kazakhstan. Organizational learning is presented as a social process, and interpreted as happening in the interplay between social and unconscious emotions and organizational power relations (Vince and Gabriel, 2011; Vince, 2001). Psychodynamic theory is used to study organizational learning. This approach supports an analysis of the interplay between unconscious emotions and power relations that affect organizational learning processes. The study pinpoints how individuals in organizations are bound to organizational power relations, which both define the learning possibilities of its members, and, at the same time, reproduce those power relations. I focus on the unconscious elements of the reproduction of power relations that harbour and steer individual and collective relations (Frosh, 2001). Particular attention is paid to how power relations, which are influenced by the social unconscious (Weinberg, 2007) regulate individuals’ inner worlds and underlie their social interactions. The empirical part of the thesis presents the fieldwork in five organisations where semi-structured interviews were carried out using elements of photo-elicitation, with records kept in my reflexive diary notes. The work is grounded in my empirical data, and designed to address the research questions by iterative movement between the captured data and the theoretical framework. The research contributes to scholarship pertaining to emotion, politics and organizational learning with the key contribution being the insights gained from probing the role of individuals and their emotions in their efforts to learn in post-Soviet organizations. Elements of the old (Soviet) regime linger in the new organizations that form Kazakhstan's free market economy and the tension between these regimes provides an environment that is rich both in emotion and power/politics. This offers an opportunity to shed light on the interplay between emotion as well as power during individual and organizational attempts to learn. More specifically, emotions and organizational power relations are discussed through five aspects of the social unconscious identified from the empirical data. Subsequently, four sets of emotions pertaining to the five aspects are refined from these findings and discussed in terms of the impact that emotions have on learning processes.

▼ My Thesis, comprising my Context Statement and Published Works, presents my contribution to practice, scholarship and knowledge as an experienced Human Resource Management practitioner-academic. This study has integrated further my professional and academic selves (sic) and enhanced my academic identity, by conceptualising my learning and experiences into a critically reflective narrative for my professional doctorate. I have contributed to knowledge through this study and my contribution to six co-authored government publications by the Review Body on Doctors’ and Dentists’ Remuneration. I am at the centre of this Employee Relations case study which focuses on a contemporary phenomenon within the real-life context of the NHS. Its purpose is to understand why SAS doctors were dissatisfied with aspects of their new contract that had taken several years to negotiate. My aim was to explain why many doctors were dissatisfied, and what problem(s) the new contract had failed to resolve. Utilising a strategy of action research, this study undertakes an interpretivist exploration of the complex phenomena, through the collection and analysis of qualitative data and document analysis; its findings highlight the existence of competing perspectives and multiple realities amongst the parties. My critical and reflective analysis reveals the hidden effect of power relations on HRM practices and its indirect effect on the employment relationship. The study concludes that power inequalities in the form of indirect discrimination exist around the variables of gender and race for this population; they are probably institutionalised and, in this study, are reinforced by the HRM process of career progression. Organisational change in the NHS to modernise the contract has not led to all the predicted gains for SAS doctors, but has maintained managers’ control over a key discourse. My work contributes to practice through the identification of indirect discrimination in the career pathway for SAS doctors in the NHS. As a consequence, remedial actions were taken by the General Medical Council, Department of Health and others; but this emancipatory case study raises general awareness of the unforeseen impact caused by any HRM process that may have a disproportionate adverse effect on workers with a protected characteristic.

▼ The Cold War ended in 1991, yet the North Atlantic Treaty Organization still persists. This outcome defies paradoxically two exceedingly important facts: First, NATO’s central and greatest geostrategic rival—the Soviet Union—disappeared a quarter of a century ago. Second, China and Russia are insufficiently capable to individually challenge and counterbalance NATO’s military supremacy and conventional military might. From a theoretical perspective, in the absence of an immediate threat and/or the need to counterbalance relative
power, International
Relations alliance theory would posit the dissolution of military alliances. Nonetheless, NATO continues to endure. This study seeks to elucidate the strategic factors generating this puzzling historical and theoretical development.
This study demonstrated that the political economy of the defense industry has become an important variable that can affect the
power of states and the endurance of alliances. The study analyzed three equivalent cases of military alliance dynamics—the aftermath of the Great World War, the Second World War, and the post-Cold-War phase of NATO. The analysis of these three cases served to probe and demonstrate the necessary and sufficient conditions for the presence and endurance of military alliances. According to International
Relations alliance theory such conditions should be, first, the presence of external threats and, second, the compatibility of national interests.
This study employed the comparative case study method in order to shed light on the nature of threats faced by great powers during different time periods. Further, the study used the focused comparison method in conjunction with the intensive case study approach to explore in depth the states’ strategic military and economic interests and alliance decisions. Having analyzed the external threats and compatibility of great
power interests in different time periods, the study concluded that neither of the two abovementioned conditions is sufficient to explain the endurance and deepening of the level of cooperation among the great powers participating in NATO. This study demonstrated that technological features of military production—the size and extent of scale economies, economies of scope, and learning-by-doing—and escalating military costs have been crucial and complementary factors affecting the motivations and intra-alliance politics of NATO member-states after the Cold War.

▼ Over the past decade, popularised notions and approaches to the teaching and learning of Australia’s history have been overwhelmingly researched and written by non-Indigenous academics. This research challenges dominant non-Indigenous curriculum and research agendas by exploring how, why, and to what degree Koorie, and by extension Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, are taken up for the development and implementation of school-based curriculum aligned to the Year Nine Australian Curriculum: History. The research is guided by Michel Foucault’s poststructural theory to examine a range of discourses identified by year nine history teachers and three Koorie Elders in Ballarat and Greater Shepparton. It is supplemented through Martin Nakata’s ground breaking work on Indigenous Standpoint Theory to acknowledge and highlight the cross-cultural/racial power/knowledge relations of peoples who are involved in the research. It is a timely response to the 2013 mandatory implementation of the Australian Curriculum: History in Victorian state schools. The research builds upon academic research (see Clark, 2006; Harrison & Greenfield, 2011; Mackinlay & Barney, 2011; 2014b) about how teachers may engage critically with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander specific content. It contributes significantly to a field of research that has not received much attention over the past eleven years. The research is a striking contribution to understandings of Australian cross-cultural/racial research and education practices. It argues that teachers are not necessarily insensitive to cross-cultural/racial relations operating in Australia; rather, that more rigorous and comprehensive teacher education programs are required for the integration of Koorie perspectives on Australian history. The research clearly demonstrates that stories from local Koorie communities offers up a wealth of knowledge that may be drawn upon to reform curriculum agendas towards shared-history understandings of Australia’s history. Ultimately, it advocates for a more nuanced and mature conversation about contemporary cross-cultural/racial education practices in Australia.

▼ The research examines the amount of influence and the relationship between the legal and PR departments during the three stages of crises: pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis evaluation. The research shows that practitioners do not follow the
exact model of gaining influence outlined by the power relations theory. Practitioners use individual influence resources to gain influence instead of relational influence resources. The research finds that public relations practitioners do have a
significant amount of influence, yet their influence did depend largely on the specific crisis situation. More often than not, crisis management is not handled entirely by legal or PR, but rather it is a collaborative effort.

▼ This thesis examines employment relations in Indonesia’s retail sector. Drawing on the disciplines of Political Economy, Economic Geography and Industrial Relations, it investigates the relationship between global retail and home and host country institutions in order to identify the factors responsible for the converging and diverging patterns in employment outcomes. The thesis develops an actor-centred institutionalist approach, which extends the utility of embeddedness theory by taking into account the impact of contestation between trade unions and corporate actors in multiple institutional arenas on firm-level industrial relations and employment outcomes. Using in-depth comparative case study methods, this approach is applied to a European retailer, an Asian transnational retailer and a prominent domestic retailer in the food industry. The thesis demonstrates that country-of-origin effect has little influence on firm-level employment relations in the Indonesian retail sector. Rather, similarities in the organization of work, skill formation and baseline remuneration in the three retailers are a consequence of product market pressure and regulatory and institutional constraints, while differences in job security and the distribution of wages and benefits stem from organized labour’s differential capacity to challenge the prerogative of management in each firm. As these findings suggest, while embeddedness theory provides useful insights into the behaviour and strategy of transnational retailers, its utility is greatly enhanced when it is combined with an actor-centred institutionalist approach that acknowledges the power relations between industrial relations actors in different institutional domains and the potential impact of contestation across those domains on firm-level employment outcomes.

▼ The central theme of this thesis is about ‘power’. This thesis is an endeavor to explore how ‘power’ could affect the dynamic of communication and relationships between actors. Power has been chosen as the central theme as a way of building new theory about public relations as proposed by Curtin and Gaither (2005). The same thing can be seen from the sports studies literature, particularly in the relationship between the three main actors in sports; NGB, Media and Sponsors. The investigation of public relations activities in sports is due to the fact, as shown in the sports studies literature, that there was a lack of recognition of the role of public relations in sports.
To provide answers for the above aims, this thesis employed the critical, cultural research approach. Bourdieu (1991) conception of capital together with Berger’ (2005) dimension of power relations were used to frame the study. Using a semi-structured interviews, data of this research gathered from respondents based on a purposive sampling technique. The data was analysed using a thematic analysis approach where seven central themes emerged. The findings in this research suggest that power or capital does affect the dynamics of communication and relationship between actors.
The implications of this thesis is that it managed to map the dimension of power relations based on the capital possessed by the actors. In terms of theoretical implication the finding of this study has enhanced the conception of capital. However, the findings also shows the weaknesses or limitation of Bourdieu’ conception of capital. From a sports study perspective, taking the roles of power between actors, this thesis suggests that the Malaysian sports development currently is at the crossroads. It is either to continue with government direct involvement in sports or to let the private sectors to lead the development of sports in Malaysia.

▼ This study is about structural theorizing in
International
Relations. Based on a review of current theories of
International
Relations, it argues that current approaches are not
purely structural but hybrid theories composed of conflicting unit
and structural level assumptions, which produce internally
inconsistent theories and externally partial depictions of
international politics. The study attempts to develop a purely
structural theoretical framework that argues that international
structure, which is composed of anarchy and the distribution of
power, shapes state identities, motivations, behaviors and
international outcomes. In anarchic systems, units struggle neither
for
power nor for security. International politics is a struggle
for autonomy. Units populating anarchic systems are concerned with
sustaining their autonomy and a system is anarchic if the units can
rely on their own capabilities in a specific distribution of
power.
In concentrated
power structures, states are concerned with
sustaining the status quo but take offensive actions which tend to
produce minor conflicts rather than major systemic wars. In
distributed
power structures, states are concerned with change but
take defensive actions that tend to produce major systemic wars.
The study measures these theoretical predictions against the
history of the Cold War. The case study is divided into three time
periods according to the specific
power structures: concentrated
(1945-1957) and (1979-1991) eras and an intervening distributed
power structure (1957-1979). It is concluded that the history of
the Cold War provides strong support for the arguments developed on
state motivations, behaviors and their international outcomes.
While the first and third eras of the Cold War were characterized
by status quo-oriented motivations and centrifugal, aggressive
behaviors in the periphery, the second era was characterized by
change-oriented motivations and centripetal defensive behaviors on
the central issue areas. While the first and third eras can be
characterized as the times of minor conflicts, the second era was
the time of the real Cold War that consists of major superpower
confrontations.

▼ Numa análise sustentada e transversal da literatura, é manifesta e inalienável a
pertinência de se enveredar por um estudo que coloca em perspetiva e prospetiva a
temática do poder (sobretudo informal e em rede), harmonizada com a abordagem de uma
liderança positiva. Numa dimensão macro, são relativamente escassas, no nosso país, as
pesquisas que relacionem o poder com a liderança. O mesmo raciocínio, mas utilizado de
forma exponencial, podemos ter em relação ao supracitado cruzamento entre poder e
liderança aplicado à gestão de recursos humanos. São ainda mais raras as investigações
a esse nível, pelo que esta investigação poderá, parcialmente, tentar aportar novos
subsídios.
A natureza das relações de poder é de tal modo complexa e dinâmica que tem sido
investigada de forma pluri e multidisciplinar. Pretende-se ultrapassar o preconceito que
assume o poder como uma realidade obscura e ilícita. Para além do espectro da
(i)moralidade afigura-se atual ter em consideração que o poder se pode ampliar em rede.
A inspiração da “microfísica do poder” de Foucault (Moreira 2010) foi determinante para
uma assunção mais negocial do fenómeno. Para se ser líder tem que se ser capaz de gerir
este quadro de (inter)relações com poder. Gerir com poder, sobretudo informal, é um fator
facilitador de lideranças positivas. Devido ao cariz mais intangível e sensível do objeto
de estudo, a visão fenomenológica é a mais recomendável neste cenário, pela riqueza
analítica que permite. Utilizou-se como instrumento metodológico a entrevista tendo-se
mobilizado para o seu tratamento uma análise de conteúdo. Trata-se de um estudo de caso
de caráter exploratório, numa empresa multinacional do setor da tecnologia e a amostra é
constituída por 10 pessoas, não sendo probabilística. As questões de partida levantadas
gravitam à volta da influência do poder informal nas lideranças positivas. De forma geral,
os resultados predominantes consubstanciam que o negligenciar a perspetiva relacional,
em detrimento da visão redutora do poder como atributo (Moreira, 2010), impede uma
abordagem mais adaptada aos tempos hodiernos. Estratégica e dinamicamente alguns
atores com menos autoridade, ou poder formal, podem, no xadrez organizacional, inverter
essa tendência determinista e formal, tendo, efetivamente, mais poder do que alguém que
lhes é hierarquicamente superior (podendo assumir o papel de líderes).

▼ As China becomes more engaged with the outside world through the process of globalisation, the party-state actively attempts to use domestic and foreign policies to manage China’s global interactions in ways that work to its advantage. The party-state manages the transnational exchange of information and ideas using the practices associated with its propaganda system. This simultaneously occurs within China and internationally, as the party-state uses both domestic and foreign propaganda practices in order to maximise the benefits and minimise the risks of this aspect of globalisation. This thesis investigates the relationship between the party-state’s use of propaganda practices to manage the forces of globalisation within the country and its use of such practices at the international level. It does so in order to generate a better understanding of how China’s domestic political system, and especially the power practices embedded in that system, shapes the way that China engages with the rest of the world.
This thesis argues that the party-state’s desire for political and social unity and cohesion within China, combined with the specific way in which it exercises power through the use of propaganda practices at the domestic level, fundamentally shapes how it uses propaganda practices to try to increase China’s global influence. The party-state’s emphasis on the importance of national cohesion means that foreign propaganda practices involve the party-state exercising power not only to influence the views of international actors but also to discipline the discourse that Chinese actors articulate internationally. The party-state sees the generation of domestic cohesion using propaganda practices as a necessary prerequisite to China’s international rise. Its strategic approach to foreign propaganda involves increasing the variety of Chinese voices that are available to foreign audiences, as long as they maintain propaganda discipline and do not challenge the official discourse. When it comes to practical propaganda responses to domestic and international challenges the party-state is primarily concerned with establishing and defending an official “truth” around which it can unite Chinese public opinion, even when this stokes anti-foreign nationalism. The ability of Chinese actors to articulate a discourse to overseas audiences is thereby limited by the party-state’s focus on the use of propaganda practices to consolidate political consensus at home.

▼ This thesis demonstrates why and how France and Australia are currently engaged in a process of diplomatic and economic mutual empowerment as part of their smart power strategies. This rapprochement has been possible owing to thirty years of diplomatic efforts to overcome ongoing culturally and historically constructed misunderstandings and conflicts. The research investigates the historical dynamics behind this ambiguous relationship. It analyses the actors, mechanisms and outcomes relevant to the transformation of the French-Australian bilateral relationship between 1985, a moment of strong tensions between both countries because of France’s Pacific policies, and the present time when Paris and Canberra are closer than they have ever been since the creation of their Enhanced Strategic Partnership in 2017. This thesis follows an original approach. It encompasses constructivist theories and Joseph Nye’s concept of “smart power”, and it is based on the study of French and Australian archives and on expert interviews.
This thesis argues that mutual empowerment is the response of two different middle powers, one global and one regional, to global threats and is a modernising tool for France and Australia’s diplomacies. This progressive empowerment has been possible because of the settlement of three main conflicts between France and Australia pertaining to the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), French nuclear testing as well as Australia’s opposition to French policies in New Caledonia. However, the progressive rapprochement between France and Australia has primarily been possible because French and Australian policy-makers have instituted constructive opportunities for dialogue and cooperation in order to overcome their ongoing misperceptions. French-Australian cooperation, originally supported by the economic interests of its business communities, primarily aims to tackle common security issues. Canberra and Paris increasingly share the same traditional and non-traditional threats to their security due to the current context of power transition among states and power diffusion to non-state actors. The enhancement of the French-Australian Strategic Partnership is a response to this challenging global context and takes part into Australia and France’s reengagement in the Indo-Pacific region. This thesis provides insight into a significant trend in International Relations: middle powers’ adaptation to regional and global challenges through mutual empowerment and smart power strategies.

▼ This thesis explores Saudi Arabia’s
power behavior towards Lebanon in order to explore the pattern of Saudi Arabia’s waning influence. After all, it is among the most powerful regional actors and wields immense financial as well as religious resources compared to lightweight Lebanon. Nevertheless, Saudi action in Lebanon backfires seemingly frequently, either strengthening its opponents or weakening its allies. It is argued that Saudi Arabia is very capable of using their economic might in Lebanon; however, the more they strangle Lebanon the more likely Lebanon is to fall into Iran’s open arms. This, in turn, hurts Saudi Arabia’s overarching goal of regional influence and limiting Iran’s expansionism. On top of that, Saudi’s credibility, trust and legitimacy were thwarted after the 2009 elections and especially after the 2017 Hariri debacle in Lebanon. While prioritizing immediate national interest is natural for any country, Saudi Arabia’s policies disregarded the Lebanese target population’s perception and failed to achieve its regional interest with regards to pushing back Iranian influence. Hence, its prematurely hard
power-driven policy pushed its allies away into the open arms of Iran. Saudi Arabia indeed has immense soft
power resources, which, however, it has been largely ineffective in utilizing thus far. After all, it has become evident that despite its small size, Lebanon is the stage for regional
power play. If Saudi Arabia continues to employ such a miscalculated policy, it will threaten its regional standing despite its immense, yet waning, economic might. Consequently, an unbalanced use of soft and hard
power behavior of Saudi Arabia results in a cost inefficient foreign policy. Instead of self-defeating its efforts, it should be in Saudi’s self-serving interest to winning the hearts and minds of the people for effective
power conversion and a strong standing to challenge Iran.

▼ This thesis problematises the bases of soft
power, that is, causal mechanisms connecting the agent (A) and the
subject (B) of a
power relationship. As the literature review reveals, their underspecification by neoliberal IR scholars, the leading proponents of the soft
power concept, has caused a great deal of scholarly confusion over such questions as how to clearly differentiate between hard and soft
power, how attraction (soft power’s primary mechanism) works and what roles structural and relational forces play in hard/soft
power. In an effort to ascertain the bases, I address this issue not from the viewpoint of A’s policies or resources, like do IR neoliberal scholars, but in terms of B’s psychological perception of A. Employing social psychological accounts, I argue that attraction can be produced in three distinct ways, namely 1) through B’s identification with A (“emotional” attraction), 2) via B’s appreciation of A’s competence/knowledge in a particular field (“rational” attraction) and 3) by means of the activation of B’s
internalised values which contextually prescribe B to act in A’s favour (“social” attraction). Importantly, depending upon the way attraction is produced, it is peculiar in a number of characteristics, the main of which are
power scope, weight and durability. Insights from social psychology also show that unlike soft
power, hard
power requires not only B’s relevant perception of the A-B relationship (as coercive or rewarding), but also A’s capability to actualise a threat of punishment and/or a promise of reward. I argue this difference can be fairly treated as definitional rather than empirical, which implies that coercion and reward necessarily have both relational and structural dimensions, whereas for attraction, a structural one alone suffices, while a relational one may or may not be present. Having explicated the soft
power bases, I illustrate each of them using three “most likely” case studies, namely Serbia’s policies towards Russia (emotional attraction), Kazakhstan’s approach to
relations with the EU (rational attraction) and Germany’s policies vis-à-vis Israel (social attraction).

▼ Guided by Connell’s social constructionist theory of hegemonic masculinity, in a study conducted at a township primary school in Gauteng East, I explored the way boys in Grade 7 interact with each other and girls, as a well as the way in which they understand the world around them in the context of gender
relations.
A purposive sampling method was used to select boys and girls to participate in this qualitative study. A total of 30 research participants, 17 boys and 13 girls, took part in this study. The methodology included the use of individual diaries and focus groups to solicit
information and observe gender
relations in boys and girls in the construction of masculinity.
Masculinity in this study was constructed through
power relations. The themes identified when analysing the social relationships between boys and girls were sexuality, the sturdy boy, homosociality, sex roles, defying authority and the comedian.

▼ In this study, I explored the experiences of gender and
power relations among a group of black women holding leadership positions in six government departments in the Western Cape. South Africa is in a process of transition and, to create a departure from the past, key objectives focus around the transformation of gender disparities and the eradication of racism and other forms of inequality and discrimination in all spheres of this society. There are many methods utilized to increase the number of women in leadership positions in the private and public sectors. However, there is a lack of research regarding the social environment for women once they have entered into these structures (Angevine, 2006). This study made use of a feminist qualitative methodology which guided the research. Six semi-structured, open-ended interviews were conducted in order to carry out an in-depth exploration of participants’ experiences. After the participants had given consent, the interviews were audio-recorded, then transcribed verbatim. Data was analyzed in accordance with qualitative thematic analysis. All standard ethical considerations to protect the participants and the researcher were taken into account and practised throughout the research. The findings show evidence that black African women leaders in government departments have internalized learnt subservient characteristics; and that this serves to undermine their authority as leaders. Specifically, larger social
power relations and traditional forms of authority undermine their capacity to express authority in work environments. They also experience both subtle and blatant racist and sexist prejudice in the form of stereotypes and hostility in the workplace. A minority of women managers actively oppose the gendered notions that undermine their leadership. Ultimately, black African women managers are not accepted or supported as legitimate leaders in the workplace. Women leaders are perceived to be incapable of performing effectively as leaders because of gender and racial stereotypes that serve as hindrances to their expression of leadership. The study found that some participants conform to the socially constructed notion of maintaining a work-life balance and this poses a challenge for such leaders. Those who are married attempt to balance career and life by maximizing on their management of their time. A number of women had made the personal decision to remain single in order to focus explicitly on their careers.

▼ Social customs and the patriarchal structure of Indian society determine women’s intrahousehold
status. Vision loss due to cataracts and post-surgery recovery of vision may contribute
to changes in the manner in which women experience societal norms and practices, and may
have an impact on gender and power relations and socio-economic status within the household.
No studies which take into account socio-cultural factors and economic status have examined the
impact of cataract surgery (i) on activities and (ii) time use, and (iii) on gender and power
relations in rural households in Andhra Pradesh, India. This project determines what changes if
any occur in gender and power relations in families in rural households in Andra Pradesh after a
member has undergone cataract surgery. Qualitative analyses were performed to explore participants’ perspectives and understand the
extent to which gender and power relations may change after cataract surgery. The narrative
analysis showed that the profiles of the women and men in the younger and older age groups
were quite different, yet there were also similarities. Certain patterns emerged following cataract
surgery. While decision-making patterns did not change substantially, all participants stated that their mobility had improved after surgery and this led to a corresponding improvement in their
quality of life. In addition, the quality of relationships improved for two of the women and two
of the men. In addition to the narrative analysis, qualitative data from the participants assisted
with understanding the complex issues related to gender and power relationships through a
thematic analysis. For the most part, family composition and living arrangements did not change much as a result
of cataract surgery. These matters were largely determined by customs and norms. Indeed, many
of the participants described how they were able to perform various tasks, once again due to
improvement in their vision. Both men and women spoke about their ability to engage in
household work after the surgery. However, as women performed most of this work, cataract
surgery had a greater impact on this aspect of life for women. Cataract surgery and improved
vision did not have a substantial impact on gender and power relations within the context of
intra-household matters as broader gender roles were more influential in this domain. Cataract sufferers were more satisfied with their lives and the benefits from surgery.
Improvements in quality of life and in the activities of the participants are supported by my
research findings.

▼ The military
fait accompli is so understudied a phenomenon in the international
relations literature that even its definition is not widely known. A f
ait accompli is a unilateral revision to the status quo in an ongoing dispute over some distribution of benefits. Though recent work has demonstrated that
faits accomplis are relatively common events in international history and current international
relations, the
subject remains undertheorized and empirically underexplored. This dissertation seeks to open up the conversation about
faits accomplis in two complementary ways. First, it advances an original formal model of
faits accomplis in the shadow of
power shifts, interacting the effects of dynamic
power on a rising state’s decision to use
faits accomplis to revise the status quo in an ongoing territorial dispute. Second, it tests the predictions of the theoretical model against the evidence amassed in two cases of territorial disputes, China’s maritime territorial disputes with its Southeast Asian neighbors in the South China Sea, and those with Japan in the East China Sea.
The dissertation aims contribute to the international
relations literature at three levels of generality: China’s security strategies, the security dynamics of East and Southeast Asia, and the growing body of work on
faits accomplis in security studies. I offer and apply a coherent structural explanation of China’s behavior in the South China Sea while also providing insight into when and where we might expect
faits accomplis in other contexts, and under what conditions such
faits accomplis may give rise to war.

▼ This thesis explores the nature and exercise of power in an Information Technology (IT) project, which involved the implementation of an Information Systems (IS). The existing IS research on power in IS implementation is clustered either in a strong theoretic-low pragmatic grouping, or a strong pragmatic-low theoretic grouping; thus there is little evidence of research being grounded in strong theoretical traditions and strong pragmatic ones as well (Ye et al., 2014). This thesis has improved the situation by associating a new theoretical lens of power with the traditional social and political theories of power used in IS. This new theoretical lens is the Three-Process Theory of Power developed by social psychologist, John Turner (2005) based on Social Identity Theory (SIT) (Tajfel and Turner, 1979) and Self-Categorisation Theory (SCT) (Turner et al., 1987). The findings demonstrate the value of Turner’s theoretical lens as well as its insufficiency for explaining all power related activities. This research has led to the development of an extended Three-Process Theory of Power by adding the alternative components that emerged from the data in the case study in relation to the nature and exercises of power. Thus, this thesis contributes to providing a clear and useful picture regarding the sources of power and tactical applications of power in given situations, particularly in IS implementation projects.
Past research on power in IS implementation mainly focuses on the relations between project stakeholder groups such as between project practitioners and system users (Backhouse et al., 2006, Ball and Wilson, 2000, Berente et al., 2010, Doolin, 2004, Hussain and Cornelius, 2009, Markus, 1983, Markus and Bjorn-Andersen, 1987, Silva, 2007, Silva and Backhouse, 2003, Silva and Fulk, 2012, Smith et al., 2010). Evidence revealed that existing research lacked a real analysis of power relations between project team members (Hussain and Cornelius, 2009, Silva and Fulk, 2012), which is in fact an important facet of power relations. More recently, Chang and Yeh (2014) argued that the relationships between intra-project team disagreements and conflict communications are important factors for project performance and decision making. Therefore, it is argued that a deeper understanding of power relations within an IT project can be gained when including the analysis of intra-project team power relations (Ye et al., 2014). This research study has filled this gap in knowledge by investigating power relations both within and outside the project team in an IT project in the case study. Indeed, evidence from the current study suggests that strategies for effectively managing power relational issues within the project team differed from strategies between the project team and other stakeholder groups. For example, while accepting one’s legitimate authority was effective in short-circuiting the unnecessary debates, deliberations, and arguments inside the project team, the project team had to resort to persuasive strategies in dealing…

▼ This thesis was successfully defended on December 16th, 2013 at McMaster University.
In response to humanitarian crises within sovereign nation-states, many voices in global politics have begun to frame their arguments in terms of a responsibility to uphold basic human rights. The most prominent example of this theme is found in the idea of the responsibility to protect, an international framework for crisis response developed by an international commission and consolidated at the United Nations. A major challenge to this frame of thinking is the traditional disjuncture between the concept of ethico-political responsibility, on the one hand, and nation-state sovereignty on the other. A critical investigation of the ethical and political impulses articulated within the doctrine of the responsibility to protect demonstrates that much of the emergent consensus surrounding the responsibility to protect framework is premised on ideational and normative ambiguity. Part of the reason for this is the complexity of the idea of ‘responsibility’. This project seeks to explain some of the contestation of the responsibility to protect by first developing, and then applying, a conceptual framework that differentiates between monological impulses of ‘being responsible’ and more socially embedded practices situated within relational regimes of accountability and answerability.
