Power Through Institutional Work: Acquiring Academic Authority in the 1968 Third World Strike
提出一个权力与制度变迁的过程模型,通过1968年旧金山州立学院第三世界罢工的案例,说明行动者如何通过创建、支持或修改制度来获取权力,并应对多方利益相关者的期望。
Introducing a process model of power and institutional change, I argue that actors may seek power by creating, supporting, or modifying institutions. Lacking unilateral authority to enact new institutions, actors can leverage symbolic resources into coercive resources, which may require making concessions to multiple logics and stakeholders. The emergent organizations and institutions are then subject to adjustment to stakeholder and regulator expectations. The argument is illustrated in a case study of the 1968 Third World Strike at San Francisco State College, where the college president strove to increase his authority so he could prevail in a dispute with student activists.
