Developing Culturally Specific Tools for the Evaluation of Good Governance in Diverse National Contexts: A Case Study of the National Olympic Committee of the Islamic Republic of Iran     

Mehdi Ghadami 《国际体育史杂志》2015,32(8):986-1000

One of the key features of the Olympic movement is its universalistic appeal, particularly in the sense that it has sought to establish itself as a platform for universal interaction and promotion of universal values. In this paper, we consider the nature, feasibility, and implications of the IOC's promotion of its universalist position in terms of the ethical standards it promotes in relation to universal principles of good governance. A major problem in this respect is the culturally diverse set of constituencies that are incorporated within the Olympic movement, such that the imposition of ‘one size fits all’ policies may be impractical and in many instances undesirable. The authors of this paper therefore argue that although universal agreement is often impractical, general agreement may often be established. The paper therefore presents an approach to balancing centrally promoted principles of good governance with local preferences in terms of the weighting to be given to particular values within the operationalization of good governance. This approach, based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process technique, developed by Thomas Saaty and widely employed in decision-making with regard to evaluating and weighting alternatives, is introduced here in the context of the evaluation of National Sport Federations in Iran. The paper highlights ways in which this technique allows for the expression of local priorities within the general framework of good governance principles in ways which satisfied both global and local priorities. In effect, it is a practical example of what Robertson has termed glocalization. The paper concludes by applying this framework to an evaluation of the National Federation (NF) of Football in Iran as an example of how this technique will be used for the purposes of ranking NFs in terms of performance with respect to elements of good governance which will inform both self-assessment by the NF and the decision-making process for allocation of funds by government to NFs in Iran in the future.  相似文献   

Globalization and the Governance of Chinese Sports: The Case of Professional Basketball     

Fuhua Huang  Fan Hong 《国际体育史杂志》2015,32(8):1030-1043

This paper aims to explore the manifestations of globalization and sport governance in China through a lens of basketball. Specific focus is centred on the extent of the universalization of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) governance model in China and the adaptation from Chinese basketball. It argues that the vertical-centralized power allocation of Chinese basketball has prevented the NBA's governance model being fully assimilated and universalized in the Chinese context. When the localization of the NBA's capitalist setting encounters the state power of China's socialist regime, Chinese political nationalism has tended to provoke a firm entrenchment to protect the government's sovereignty.  相似文献   

Reality and Dilemma: The Development of China's Sports Industry since the Implementation of the Reform and Opening-Up Policy     

Jie Zhang 《国际体育史杂志》2015,32(8):1085-1097

This paper explores the history and development of China's sports industry, along with its achievements, prospects, problems, and dilemmas, beginning with the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy. The paper concludes that China's sports have been gradually transformed from a type of public welfare under the planned economy to a business under the market-oriented economy since the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy in 1978. China's sports industry has gone through three stages, i.e. the exploratory stage (1978–1992), the formative stage (1993–1996), and the development stage (1997–present), and has achieved remarkable progress since the reform and opening-up. This has made the sports industry a new and significant economic growth point in China, constituting a sunrise industry of the twenty-first century. Despite the huge potential, the further development of China's sports industry is still faced with a series of problems and dilemmas, such as its unbalanced development, the lack of independent innovation, shortcomings in the policies and regulations of the industry, and the poor management system(s).  相似文献

利益整合与权力重构:后税费时代的乡村治理     

邹荣 《石家庄学院学报》2015,(1):40-47

当代中国乡村社会利益关系的嬗变和权力结构的变迁无疑成为乡村社会治理最为关键和核心的要素。进入后税费时代后,乡村社会利益关系的嬗变使国家在乡村社会的治理正经历从"控制逻辑"到"服务逻辑"的转变。然而,这样的转变一定程度上导致了"治理真空"、政策认同弱化以及利益表达和利益传输不畅等问题。从权力结构来看,无论是国家权力在乡村社会的进退,还是"积极"和"消极"的控制,客观上都难以有效克服内在的缺陷和不足。进入后税费时代的乡村治理,应通过有效提升国家权力的整合效度,推进国家与社会合作,进而确保乡村社会善治的最终实现。  相似文献   

The History of Paper and Public Space     

John Nerone 《Media History》2015,21(1):1-7

This article introduces a group of articles on the history of paper and issues of scarcity in the history of newspapers and news media generally. The articles discussed share a concern with the parallels between paper scarcities in newspaper history and spectrum scarcities in broadcast history. This introductory essay comments on the similarities and differences between the two kinds of scarcity and comments more broadly on the rise and fall of bottlenecks in media systems, paying attention both to how scholars have discussed materialities of media communication and how legacy news media in the digital era have encountered a new competitive landscape.  相似文献

Agile Project Management in Libraries: Creating Collaborative,Resilient, Responsive Organizations     

Morgan M. Stoddard  Bill Gillis  Peter Cohn 《图书馆管理杂志》2019,59(5):492-511

Libraries must continually adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of users. Doing so requires the ability to be flexible and respond quickly. This is a case study of how The George Washington University Libraries rethought its approach to collection development using a cross-functional, team-based strategy that leveraged the benefits of Agile project management. Adopting an Agile approach to collection development maximized the impact of the library’s financial resources and enabled staff to develop new skills. This project underscores the value of collaboration, agility, and experimentation in libraries.  相似文献
