ISBN: 9780415320528 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This is a comprehensive account of the history of the shinkansen, from its planning during the Pacific War, to its launch in 1964 and subsequent development.

The Blame Game: Spin, Bureaucracy, and Self-Preservation in Government
ISBN: 9780691162126 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The blame game, with its finger-pointing and mutual buck-passing, is a familiar feature of politics and organizational life, and blame avoidance pervades government and public organizations at every level. Political and bureaucratic blame games and blame avoidance are more often condemned than analyzed. In The Blame Game, Christopher Hood takes a different approach by showing how blame avoidance shapes the workings of government and public services. Arguing that the blaming phenomenon is not all bad, Hood demonstrates that it can actually help to pin down responsibility, and he...

ISBN: 9780415705998 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just as the sinking of the Titanic is embedded in the public consciousness in the English-speaking world, so the crash of JAL flight JL123 is part of the Japanese collective memory.

ISBN: 9780199270019 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why does regulation vary so dramatically from one area to another? Why are vast sums spent on controlling some risks but not on others? Is there any logic to the techniques we use in risk regulation? In this work, Hood explores these crucial questions explored.

This important new study, by a leading scholar in the field, offers a fresh perspective on public management. In contrast to the widespread claim of the modernization gurus' that a new era of global convergence is dawning in public management, it uses cultural theory to show why ideas about how to manage government are inherently plural and contradictory, and likely to remain so.

This volume identifies and compares 'fiscal squeezes' (major efforts to cut public spending and/or raise taxes) in the UK over a century from 1900 to 2015. The authors examine how different the politics of fiscal squeeze and austerity is today from what it was a century ago, how (if at all) fiscal squeezes reshaped the state and the provision of public services, and how political credit and blame played out after austerity episodes. The analysis is both quantitative and qualitative, starting with reported financial outcomes from historical statistics and then going behind those numbers to...
