“…The specific variations indicate what is considered valid knowledge in the field and what roles and status are assigned to its members. All these may negatively constrain the facilitation of intellectual entrepreneurial collaboration with other academic and corporate researchers (Clemens & Cook 1999). The town and the gown should have a way of overlapping without mortgaging the academic conventions.…”

Entrepreneurship and intellectualism are usually seen in different forms, but one can reinforce the other. Intellectual competencies have become quite useful in an increasingly complex context of business activities and thus have the potential of reinforcing entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is one of the factors of production. The challenge for intellectual entrepreneurial organizations therefore lies less in the creation of esoteric ideas for the shelves, but collaboration with enabling agents for converting creativity in form of the knowledge assets to innovation and wisdom for it to become more relevant in promoting sustainable economic growth. However, the legal protection of intellectual property rights is sine qua non to successful implementation and long-term entrepreneurship sustainability on the platform of intellectualism.

Cultural tools are powerful, in part, because they are transposable-cultural tools can be conveyed from one context to another when the opportunity arises (Clemens andCook 1999, Sewell 1992). Three kinds of cultural tools are important to the analysis presented in this paper: injustice frames, alternative identities, and contentious tactics.…”

One of the great paradoxes of organizational culture is that even when less powerful members in organizations have access to cultural tools (such as frames, identities, and tactics) that support change, they often do not use these tools to challenge traditional practices that disadvantage them. In this study, I compare data about work practice change from my own field study of an elite teaching hospital (conducted in the early 2000s) to previously reported data from field studies of two similar hospitals (one conducted in the 1970s and one in the 1990s). I demonstrate that although cultural toolkits supporting change may allow less powerful organization members to see traditional practices as running counter to their interests, they may not be able to significantly change traditional practices unless they also have access to what I call political toolkits (including tools such as staffing systems, accountability systems, and evaluation systems) that support change. Although cultural tools allow them to reinterpret practices that disadvantage them as unfair, political tools allow them to feel optimistic that others will help them effect change. Whereas cultural tools enable them to develop a “we” feeling with other reformers, political tools allow them to coordinate their change efforts. And although cultural tools provide them with a repertoire of contentious tactics, political tools afford them a sense of security that they can battle defenders of the status quo without ruining their careers. These findings contribute to our understanding of both the cultural construction of organizational life and social movement processes.

“…There is much scope to extrapolate such concepts to the international level especially for multilateral negotiations and IPP-making (7) Institutions. Institutions talk about policy regimes (Weaver & Rockman, 1993), durability and change (Clemens & Cook, 1999), policy trajectories and path dependency (Kay, 2013). Incidentally, PP borrowed the concept of regimes from Krasner"s International Regimes (Krasner, 1983).…”

the theory and praxis for both disciplines. However, since then, the study of PAM and IR were separated in substance in what was called the "great divide" in IR, the presumption that domestic and international politics are distinct spheres that are defined by distinct organizing principles. Today, this "great divide" is being challenged with globalization. However, the attempt of looking at the domestic aspects of IR and international aspects of PAM stopped short of a deep inter-disciplinary discourse. Apart from labeling its international/global version of PAM and vice versa, the scope and objectives of this inter-discipline has been under-theorized. IR can be conceptually defined as how international affairs work while PAM as how [domestic] public affairs work. As such, both can be seen as applied social and policy sciences aimed at tackling public problems at different levels (international, regional and national/domestic). There are at least two complementary ways to build this inter-disciplinary discourse:(1) what can IR offer PAM; (2) what can PAM offer IR, before a research synthesis (Harris, 2010) effort to consolidate the similarities, differences and interesting aspects in order to lay a coherent foundation of PAM-IR inter-discipline. For reasons of scope and space, this essay attempts to explore the latter research question. PAM
