... En cada uno de estos regímenes se establece un sistema de estratificación social ligado a diferentes estatus: material (clases sociales y ocupaciones) y titularidades (derechos deberes) (Campana, 2015). No obstante, la interacción de los agentes que los componen propician, en el tránsito hacia la conquista de su bienestar, la producción y reproducción de las estratificaciones sociales en la que se encuentran (Gough & Wood, 2004;Horton & Lynch-Wood, 2023), y con ella, sus desigualdades intrínsecas. La propia definición androcéntrica del concepto de ciudadanía social de T. H. Marshall sobre el que se sustentan los Estados de Bienestar es un ejemplo de ello 2 . ...

... In general, aiming to achieve a win-win solution for the EU and Brazil urges a smart harmonization and effective application of mixes of existing and emerging policy options outlined above. Smart mixes seek to integrate soft and hard measures to both steer and force change in a complementary manner (Williamson andLynch-Wood, 2021, cf. Lambin et al., 2014). ...

... In parallel, the agent model has established itself as a key aspect of the recruitment process, particularly in markets like India and China. Agents, acting as intermediaries, employ their local expertise and networks to guide students through their decision-making process (Falcone, 2017;Huang et al., 2022;James-MacEachern, 2018;Robinson-Pant and Magyar, 2018). ...

... This CSR can, like other CSR, have business advantages for the SOEs. Davis, Gary and Rilke (2010) argue that socially responsible behaviour can generate advantage especially when a firm complies with or exceeds, regulatory requirements (Williamson, Lynch-Wood et al. 2010). But also there are negative impacts of regulation. ...

... On the other hand, the loss of visibility of regulatory decision making may have added to the actors' confusion about the prevailing rules in the system. The observed decrease in transparency in the application of rules by Monitor/NHSI also had negative implications for accountability of the NHS governing structures to the public (Benbow, 2018;Horton and Lynch-Wood, 2018). Secondly, deploying an 'out of sight out of mind' strategy could not fully succeed due to the independent role of the courts and the legal levers available to providers. ...

Acknowledging these implications, successive administrations have introduced measures. ...

... Five academic articles report the results of quantitative surveys, but this does not provide as much understanding as one might first think be- cause three of those articles report on different findings from the same survey (Andersson-Hudson et al., 2016;Evensen et al., 2017;Stedman et al., 2016); another article analyses findings of a later iteration of this survey (Howell, 2018). The qualitative research draws findings from focus groups ( Williams et al., 2017), individual interviews and meeting attendance (Beebeejaun, 2017;Pearson and Lynch-Wood, 2017;Szolucha, 2018), and deliberative workshops ( Partridge et al., 2017Partridge et al., , 2018Thomas et al., 2017a). The final three articles all derive from the same study, thereby also limiting the scope of the qualitative data. ...

... This profile, in turn, predicts the compliance orientation of the firm, which ranges from " noncompliance " to " beyond compliance " . Primarily as a result of their size, the majority of SMEs fall into the category of " vulnerable satisfiers " — firms with limited resources but a willingness to comply (Wood and Williamson, 2010a; Lynch-Wood et al., 2009). Although most of these size arguments and the available empirical research contrast SMEs with larger firms, we propose that size effects exert an influence on the likelihood of engagement in environmental management practices even within the SME size range. ...

... SMEs often do not have the necessary knowledge and capacity for implementing socially and environmentally sound measures without support (e.g., Brammer et al., 2012, Hillary, 2004. Moreover, regulating their resource use and environmental footprint via commandand-control regulation is difficult, because of the heterogeneity of SMEs and because of political resistance and worries about the bureaucratic burden created by such measures (e.g., Lynch-Wood and Williamson, 2015). For these reasons, SMEs are important targets for public policy tools, which promote voluntary actions towards sustainable resource use and a more sustainable economy in general. ...

... Institutional theory, the main theoretical framework adopted to investigate the role of environmental regulations in EMS diffusion, does not fully uncover regulatory complexity. Only a minority of studies recognizes the complex nature of environmental regulation and its multidimensional -and sometimes contradictory -effects on the uptake of environmental self-regulation ( Lynch-Wood and Williamson, 2011). Furthermore, past research does not always pay attention to important differences between certified and in-house forms of environmental self-regulation; the two types are bundled under a single category to represent environmental self-regulation, over ...
