ISBN: 9780804745901 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The administrative state is the nexus of American policy making in the postwar period. The vague and sometimes conflicting policy mandates of Congress, the president, and courts are translated into real public policy in the bureaucracy. As the role of the national government has expanded, the national legislature and executive have increasingly delegated authority to administrative agencies to make fundamental policy decisions. How this administrative state is designed, its coherence, its responsiveness, and its efficacy determine, in Robert Dahl's phrase, "who gets what, when, and how." This...

Public Policy and Community: Activism and Governance in Texas
ISBN: 9780292791053 / Angielski / Miękka / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The decentralization of public policy from the federal government to state and local governments offers increased opportunities for ordinary citizens to participate directly in public policymaking. Yet these opportunities may not be equally shared. Due to a variety of factors, low-income citizens have long been denied a meaningful role in the public life and governance of our country. By contrast, the essays in this volume explore how low-income citizens have successfully affected public policy. The book is built around six case studies, all from Texas, that cover education finance...

Battered by our economy and disappointed by our government's role in that battering, we might be tempted to point the finger of blame at whoever's currently on the hot seat in front of us. But, as Phillip Cooper shows, we must widen our vision to take in the long history behind this dismal state of affairs. By doing so, it becomes clear that our present circumstances are in many ways the predictable outcome of a several-decades-long war against government regulation and its potential to protect and improve our lives. Cooper explains how the war against regulation has been conducted both...

have been used increasingly over the past two decades to wrest control of policy from legislators and bureaucrats.

Jones, to explain how the growing use of ballot initiatives has had a dramatic effect on... In the wildlife policy arena, ballot initiatives

The Politics of Housing Delivery
ISBN: 9783639149371 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Grand theories such as neo-patrimonialism that
converge on the state penetration of society, have dominated debates on resource allocation models in Africa. Such grand theories have failed to account for the trajectories of the different countries and they risk losing validity as they cannot capture the variations and the determinant factors across countries. This book details how a different resource allocation model shaped by the "liberation culture", a culture that originated in the violent exile liberation struggles in southern Africa, influences housing land allocation. In the... Grand theories such as neo-patrimonialism that

ISBN: 9783639151985 / Angielski / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Historically public sector personnel policies and
practices have been targets of reform. These reforms consisted of transferring private sector techniques to a public sector perceived to be more bureaucratic and less efficient.

Public sector outcomes are more difficult to connect directly to management practices. As a result, the focus of public sector reform has become one of improving the processes of...

Norwegian context, a theme that the author has explored in depth through a doctoral thesis. In Norway, the use of regional partnerships in regional planning and development, whose main inspiration stems from the EUs concept of regional partnership, is a new phenomenon. The comparative analysis of the three case counties has shown that they have implemented regional partnerships as institutional constructions but they have understood it as three different concepts. The conclusion is that partnerships can appear in different forms as they develop... This book addresses regional partnerships in the
