ve guides their argument that the state, far from
being a mere instrument or reflection of the public’s political will, is an independent actor
embedded in society’s own political dynamics. In other words, it is an “embedded state.” Various groups in the state, as stated above, align themselves with sympathetic interests
in civil society at large; one such interest group is the community of journalists and
commentators active in the media. As states in the Western world have grown, particularly
since World War II, various bureaucratic factions have taken on a welter of competing
affiliations with interests across the political spectrum. Some conservative critics have
decried this trend, notably as it takes the form of what Margaret Thatcher once called “the
nanny state” or what more recent commentators have identified as the “judicial activism” of
various senior judges. We could place Miljan and Cooper among the more cerebral of
these critics.
For example, the Minister of Finance and a senior cadre of civil servants in that ministry
might decide that a closer relationship with the business and industrial community is vital
to Canada’s economic growth. Policies are developed, networking done, and PR
messages disseminated communicating the new partnership between business and
government. Meanwhile, the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development, with
its welfare responsibilities, might seek the support of a major social policy think英语论文网 【http://www.51lunwen.org】 tank to
assist in its development of a national daycare strategy. The Finance ministry might see
this daycare program as too expensive, and have the backing of its private-sector
partners; the Human Resources ministry, meeting resistance from Finance, might then
solicit the participation of parents’ groups in a national summit on daycare. A neo-
institutionalist analysis would attempt to analyze the politics between these ministry
factions, their supporters in civil society, and their conflicted consequences for the daycare
issue.
The alignment of state bureaucratic factions and private interests is achieved in a number
of ways. The authors single out a principle established by earlier scholars of news
production: the “bureaucratic” affinity between government ministries and media
organization. Governments produce massive quantities of data, stage press conferences,
and issue news releases daily; news media need data, access to politicians, and
newsworthy events and announcements to cover. The symbiosis between the two makes
journalists consequently sympathetic to the value systems typical of those employed in
state bureaucracies: a value system that Miljan and Cooper term “post-materialist.”
Alliances between bureaucratic factions and private interests not related to media are also
facilitated through active consultation on various government-appointed boards between state bureaucrats and private citizens; collaboration between g
