Corporate law theory and practice considers shareholder relations with companies and the implications of ownership separated from control. Yet through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) bailout and the government's resultant shareholding, ownership and control at many companies have merged, leaving corporate theory and practice for the financial and automotive sectors in chaos. The government's $700 billion bailout is a unique historical event; not merely because of its size, but also because of a resulting ripple through corporate scholarship and practice. This article builds on the author's five testimonies before Congress during the financial crisis and implementation of the TARP bailout and his consultation for the Special Inspector General for TARP.

This paper chronicles in rich detail the difficult path of institutionalizing participatory practice in local governance policies through community planning efforts in Tempe, Arizona spanning over fifteen years (1989 to 2007) of citizen/practitioner involvement.

Although the concept of 'practice' is critical in the new field of strategy-as-practice, there are substantially different interpretations in the literature, with implications as to what constitutes the proper object of inquiry and the associated unit of analysis. The best known 'theory of practice' has been articulated by P. Bourdieu in his prolific opus, including 'the logic of practice'. This paper probes into the degree of incorporation of Bourdieu's conceptual framework, in a small 'theoretical sample' of authors in the strategy-as-practice field. A summary of Bourdieu's meta-theory is presented which is then used as background to assess the degree of assimilation of his concepts in the literature.
