Not saying, not doing: Convergences, contingencies and causal mechanisms of state reform and decentralisation in Hollande’s France

Are States in contemporary Europe subject to new forms of convergence under the impact of economic crisis, enhanced European steering and international monitoring? Or is the evolution of governance (national and sub-national) driven fundamentally by diverging, mainly domestic pressures? Drawing on extensive new data, the article combines analysis of the State Modernisation and Decentralisation reform programmes of the Hollande–Ayrault administration, drawing comparisons where appropriate with the previous Sarkozy regime. The limits of President Hollande’s anti-Sarkozy method were demonstrated in the first 2 years; framing state reform and decentralisation in negative terms prevented the emergence of a coherent legitimising discourse. The empirical data is interpreted with reference to a comparative ‘States of Convergence’ framework, which is conceptualised as a heuristic device for analysing variation between places, countries and policy fields. The article concludes that the forces of hard convergence are gaining ground, as economic, epistemic and European pressures continually challenge the forces of institutional inertia

Melting of isochronously decorated single crystals of linear polyethylene, as monitored by atomic force microscopy

The atomic force microscopy study of thermal behavior of truncated crystal of LPE alternately crystallized from n-octane at Tc1=98 and Tc2=95°C was performed. It was found that the morphological evolution during annealing of iso-height crystal regions is nonuniform.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

First stages of crystallization of the poly(ethylene oxide)-resorcinol molecular complex

Time-resolved SAXS has been used to follow isothermal crystallization in the PEO 6000/Resorcinol molecular complex. It has been shown that the complex exhibit crystals with PEO chains in the fully extended form. The initial stages of crystallization are strongly dependent on the temperature : at high supercooling transient once-folded chains crystals are evidenced. They thicken in a single step to give extended chain crystals
