Institutional Hegemony of a Logic Within a Cross-Sector Partnership
通过对德国技术移民劳动力市场整合的纵向案例研究，揭示了政府主导的跨部门伙伴关系中，政府行为者如何通过制度工作抑制矛盾逻辑、维持政府逻辑的霸权地位，并探讨了其中的紧张关系和阴暗面。
Although some scholars propagate cross-sector partnerships (CSPs) as a panacea for addressing the grand challenges of the 21st century, scholars also acknowledge that this type of collaboration faces significant barriers since the institutional logics of partners such as business, civil society, and government potentially have contradicting interests and future visions. This inductive longitudinal case study on integrating skilled migrants into the German labor market examines the institutional work by which CSP members, particularly government actors, deliberately rein in contradictory logics to reproduce the dominant government logic, and in doing so, establish a high level of institutional coherence. In disclosing the processes by which the dominant logic maintains its hegemony, I contribute new insight into the institutional dynamics within government-sponsored CSPs. I identify various actions and I illuminate CSP tensions and dark sides.
