“…Following Bartlett and Vavrus (2017), the comparative case study diverges from the traditional approaches. The traditional qualitative case study approach, considers 'context as container' or a place, therefore, the place-based elements are the only ones relevant (Bartlett and Vavrus, 2017). Comparative case studies adopt a process orientation perspective.…”

We compare two cases of innovation in public services in Brazil and Romania, aiming to illustrate the connection between innovation, modernization, and path-dependence. One case is the Brazilian Pathway School Program, and the second is the Romanian School Bus Program. Both countries experienced periods of transition, which we considered fruitful for historical analysis. We based our investigation on two comparative case studies, using secondary data and employing document analysis and previous researches' reports. While Brazilian Pathway School Program proved to be a successful story of designing a centralized policy, Romania walked in the opposite direction, from a centralized state, under the communist rule, to a polity where innovation occurs at the intersection between local community and central government. In Romania, it would be difficult to perceive the contingencies of local engagement in a country where civil liberty was suspended for 42 years. In Brazil, the inquiry was connected to the atypical federation, where the subnational states developed an extraordinary economic and budgetary dependence on the Union.

“…ANT opens new perspectives for understanding the process of shaping reality to explore the movements that the assembly of things constructs reality 2 . This perspective is consistent and 'can provide a set of concepts which add theoretical depth to path-dependency' (Greener, 2002, p. 616).…”

“…Ao invés da limitação a priori do caso, a abordagem do estudo de caso comparado apresenta acompanhamentos interativos entre um contingente de fatores, atores e características relevantes para a compreensão do fenômeno. Ao limitar as visões tendenciosas para influenciar o significado de descobertas ou conclusões alcançadas pelo estudo de caso, foram adotados previamente proposições teóricas para conduzir a coleta e a análise dos dados (Yin, 2015;Bartlett & Vavrus, 2017).…”

This is a comparative case study addressing a family perceived as being difficult to manage by the staff of a school health center. Household-based interviews were conducted with the instruments: Genograma, Ecomapa and Stages of the Family Life Cycle between March and April/2018, according to the Calgary Family Approach model. They were recorded in a field book, presented in a discursive way, including a survey of problems and the main interventions proposed to the family. Results: Recognition of the family context in its structure, development and functionality. It was evidenced weaknesses in family ties, conflicts between mother and daughter; relationships with socialcommunity resources, with an emphasis on abusive alcohol consumption, the health

“…This approach corresponds with the notion of Stake who promoted a flexible design of interpretive case studies (Johnson & Stake, 1996). More generally, an 'explorative' or 'emergent design' can be considered one of the hallmarks of qualitative research (Bartlett & Vavrus, 2017). As pointed out by Becker (2009): 'Not fully pre-specifying ideas and procedures at the start, as well as being ready to change them when their findings require it, are not flaws, but rather two of the great strengths of qualitative research'.…”

“…In this research I provided rich and detailed descriptions of the context, or 'thick descriptions' (Bartlett & Vavrus, 2017;Seawright & Gerring, 2008). This helps to interpret the implications of the results in relation to the context, but also improves the 'transferability' of the case study…”

Social media dynamics in agro-food governance : Hypes, emotions and master terms

The issue about the calf puller seems a bounded and straightforward policy problem, with a clear responsibility for the Secretary of State and only two possible solutions: enforcing the law, or changing the law. Still, we find that the public debate, both in the media and the political arena, extends far beyond this matter and is part of a wider controversy about the legitimacy and sustainability of agro-food systems in the Netherlands that involves conflicting values and identities. This controversy is driven by a combination of high and diverse stakes in the sector, complex interdependencies in the agro-food system, and a high involvement of farmers, citizens, and consumers on social media. back to Table of Contents Social Media Dynamics in the Network Society: the wider societal and scientific relevance The case of social media dynamics in agro-food governance reflects how important interactive, internet-based media are in today's network society. The network society describes the social, political, economic and cultural transformations driven by the rise of interactive, internet-based media (Castells, 2011). The relation between advancements of information and communication technologies and societal transformations is paradoxical, and reflects the dual role of social media in the governance of wicked problems. On the one hand, ICT's enable people to communicate across time and space and have led to greater interconnectedness among people (Dijk, 2006). On the other hand, there seems to be a growing physical and perceptual distance between consumers and producers and between citizens and governing bodies (Hajer, 2010; Klijn & Koppenjan, 2015). Hence, while the people on this planet are becoming increasingly interconnected, the increased interdependencies among distant actors or epistemic communities also generates societal struggles (as can be witnessed by the rise of nationalism, protectionism, and xenophobia in today's globalized world). This is problematic because the growing economic, cultural and environmental interdependencies generate new societal challenges, such as climate change, food security and other sustainability issues, that require some sort of collective action among distant actors. The success of such collective action, depends on the communication processes between these actors, which in turn increasingly depends on mediated and mediatized ICT environments, such as social media. Social media thus seem to form not only a driving factor that transforms socio-political relations and leads to new societal challenges, but also form an important new playing field where power in the network society is enacted and the governance of wicked problems takes place (Klijn & Koppenjan, 2015). Moreover, social media not just form an additional place for public debate next to news media and the political arena, but reate a new public space in which interpersonal communication, organizational communication, political communication and mass communication converge. In this new space, actors operate according a ...
