The idea that the state has a duty to protect minority cultures has become so influential that cultural rights might seem a logical extension of T. H. Marshall's idea of citizenship rights; that is, the most recent set of rights to enable the citizen to be a fully participating member of the political community. This article takes the view, however, that citizens do not have cultural rights in the sense of rights to the protection of their minority cultures per se. Instead, we should consider how citizens have an entitlement to culture in the broadest sense, as a constituent of equal well-being. On this view, the state has a duty to enable its citizens to live well. Cultural enrichment may require the protection of endangered ways of life -- such as those of minority cultures -- but only if these cultures do not run afoul of citizens' equal well-being as autonomous individuals.

Purpose
This paper develops a conceptual model in order to increase our understanding of the influence of national culture on the relationship between organizational diversity and inclusion management and inclusion climate.


Design/methodology/approach
Based upon a comprehensive review of diversity and inclusion management literature, we develop a conceptual model.


Findings
The model delineates how national culture influences the effectiveness of diversity and inclusion management practices in establishing an inclusion climate. In particular, we propose that low power distance, high collectivism, low uncertainty avoidance, low masculinity, high long-term orientation, and high indulgence cultures serve as a fertile context for creating an inclusion climate. Furthermore, we discuss how cultural tightness-looseness amplifies or attenuates the effects of national culture.


Research limitations/implications
The paper extends our understanding of the antecedents and boundary conditions of creating an inclusion climate. Future research could provide empirical evidence for the proposed relationships.


Practical implications
The model creates an awareness of the ease or difficulty of establishing an inclusion climate through diversity and inclusion management practices across cultures. Recommendations for developing inclusion climates in various cultural settings are provided.


Originality/value
Our multi-level model enhances our understanding of how the cultural context, i.e. national cultural values and cultural tightness-looseness, influences the emergence of an organizational inclusion climate which is further suggested to positively influence organizational innovation.

Healthcare policy frequently invokes notions of cultural change as a means of achieving improvement and good-quality care. This Element unpacks what is meant by organisational culture and explores the evidence for linking culture to healthcare quality and performance. It considers the origins of interest in managing culture within healthcare, conceptual frameworks for understanding culture change, and approaches and tools for measuring the impact of culture on quality and performance. It considers potential facilitators of successful culture change and looks forward towards an emerging research agenda. As the evidence base to support culture change is rather thin, a more realistic assessment of the task of cultural transformation in healthcare is warranted. Simplistic attempts to manage or engineer culture change from above are unlikely to bear fruit; rather, efforts should be sensitive to the complexity and highly stratified nature of culture in an organisation as vast and diffuse as the NHS. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

The present volume deals with popular culture from an interdisciplinary perspective. Popular culture, as an important part of the public sphere, has attracted the interest of social scientists for many decades; however, most studies tend to rely on the anthropological perspective or, less commonly, on the sociological perspective. This edited volume breaks down disciplinary barriers to bring together a plethora of methodological and theoretical approaches to the study of popular culture. More

In Distanz zu gängigen Kultur-Diskursen und als Vorarbeit zu einer Hermeneutik der Sport-Symbolik rekurriert der Beitrag auf einem Begriff von Kultur im allgemeinsten Sinne dessen, was man gemeinhin darunter versteht: daß man weiß, was man wann und wo und wem gegenüber unter welchen Umständen wie zu tun und zu lassen habe - und warum. Im Rekurs auf Kultur in diesem Sinne erst läßt sich ein bestimmtes Geschehen als das begreifen, was man wiederum gemeinhin unter Sport versteht: Sport wird hier dementsprechend beschrieben als 'freiwillige zeitweilige, sichtbare Kraft, Schnelligkeit, Geschick und/oder Ausdauer erfordernde, bewertbare, körperliche Aktivität, die im Rahmen expliziter, die prinzipiellen Handlungsmöglichkeiten beschränkender Regeln stattfindet'. Daß Sport Kultur ist, bedeutet mithin zum einen, Sport insgesamt ist eine Kultur für sich neben anderen; und es bedeutet zum anderen und zugleich, Kultur, als 'ontische Notwendigkeit des Menschseins', macht Sport zum Sport.

We construct a model of revolution and transition to democracy under individualistic and collectivist cultures. The main result is that, despite facing potentially more challenging collective action problems, countries with individualistic cultures are more likely to end up adopting democracy earlier than countries with collectivist cultures. Our empirical analysis suggests a strong and robust association between individualistic cultures and average polity scores and durations of democracy, even after controlling for other determinants of democracy emphasized in the literature. We provide evidence that countries with collectivist cultures also are more likely to experience autocratic breakdowns and transitions from autocracy to autocracy.

How do we understand the sciences and discourses about them? Aspects of philosophical dialogue are highlighted and considered in ways that reveal distinct domains of enquiry relating to culture, science and mathematics. This analysis serves to contextualize the nature and content of the papers selected for the collection.

Every major political and social dispute of the twentieth century has been fought on the backs of our children, from the economic reforms of the progressive era through the social readjustments of civil rights era and on to the current explosion of anxieties about everything from the national debt to the digital revolution. Far from noncombatants whom we seek to protect from the contamination posed by adult knowledge, children form the very basis on which we fight over the nature and values of our society, and over our hopes and fears for the future. Unfortunately, our understanding of childhood and children has not kept pace with their crucial and rapidly changing roles in our culture. Pulling together a range of different thinkers who have rethought the myths of childhood innocence, The Children's Culture Reader develops a profile of children as creative and critical thinkers who shape society even as it shapes them. Representing a range of thinking from history, psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, women's studies, literature, and media studies, The Children's Culture Reader focuses on issues of parent-child relations, child labor, education, play, and especially the relationship of children to mass media and consumer culture. The contributors include Martha Wolfenstein, Philippe Aries, Jacqueline Rose, James Kincaid, Lynn Spigel, Valerie Walkerdine, Ellen Seiter, Annette Kuhn, Eve Sedgwick, Henry Giroux, and Nancy Scheper-Hughes. Including a groundbreaking introduction by the editor and a sourcebook section which excerpts a range of material from popular magazines to child rearing guides from the past 75 years, The Children's Culture Reader will propel our understanding of children and childhood into the next century

Der Sammelband beschäftigt sich mit der Thematik der kulturellen Dimensionen sozialwissenschaftlicher und (anwendungsorientiert-)ethischer Forschung. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Frage wie Kultur als allgegenwärtiger Aspekt menschlichen Handelns sowohl in als auch durch Ökonomie und Ethik in kritisch-reflexiver Weise berücksichtigt werden kann. Die unterschiedlichen Aspekte des Verhältnisses von Kultur, Ökonomie und Ethik werden in vier Themenkreisen behandelt: 1. Ökonomische Theorie als kultureller Ausdruck: Wie kann Ökonomie als eine (Denk-)Kultur aufgefasst werden? 2. Ökonomie als kulturbewusste Sozialwissenschaft: Wie kann Kultur in der ökonomischen Theorie berücksichtigt werden? 3. Wirtschaftliche Globalisierung und kulturelle Vielfalt: Wie kann die Ökonomie die interkulturelle Dimension des Wirtschaftens theoretisch erfassen und praktisch orientieren? 4. Kultur (in) der Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensethik (WUE): Auf welchen Ebenen kann bzw. sollte WUE eine kulturell diversifizierte 'globale' Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft berücksichtigen?
