Understanding Processes of Ethnic Concentration and Dispersal : South Asian Residential Preferences in Glasgow
ISBN: 9789053566718 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The arts and sciences have evolved primarily through specialization and broadening of scope. Stepping outside of one's established discipline, however, involves a danger of "shallowness," even if the primary challenge was a "deep" integration problem. All too often, current ways of defining academic disciplines and fields of research fail to do justice to new approaches--a problem this volume tackles as it debates the possible futures of scholarship and academia.

From the Ground Up: Improving Government Performance with Independent Monitoring Organizations
ISBN: 9780815704126 / Angielski / Miękka / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on a simple concept: no one is in a better position to hold a government accountable than those it governs. When governments fail to meet the needs of their citizens, the international community often turns to large external organizations such as the International Monetary Fund or the World Bank. These analysts and monitors may have the resources and expertise to analyze and advise on public spending and governance, but where do they go when the time comes to implement new policies? And can they really have a more nuanced understanding of the country's problems...

The State as Cultural Practice
ISBN: 9780199580750 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The State as Cultural Practice offers a fully worked out account of the authors' distinctive interpretive approach to political science. It challenges the new institutionalism, probably the most significant present-day strand in both American and British political science. It moves away from such notions as 'bringing the state back in', 'path dependency' and modernist empiricism. Instead, Bevir and Rhodes argue for an anti-foundational analysis, ethnographic and historical methods, and a decentred approach that rejects any essentialist definition of the state and espouses the idea of politics...

Organized to Fail
ISBN: 9783639151640 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1966 the federal government identified the horrendous quality of emergency care rendered to Americans. Seven years later, New York State responded with a law that set out lofty, but vague, goals for improving emergency care. Implementing statewide policies requires many choices: goals, technical theories, using an existing agency or building a new one, as well as evaluation criteria. Unfortunately, New York chose organization design and implementation methods that were inadequate to the task, not evaluated and pre-destined to fail. This work examines the Rochester Region within New...

Lives in the Balance: Improving Accountability for Public Spending in Developing Countries
ISBN: 9780815732891 / Angielski / Miękka / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Because of its potential impact, and, in some cases, the harm it has brought, foreign aid is under the microscope. Donor countries, who don't want simply to give money away; recipient nations, who need to make the most of what they have and get; and analysts, policymakers, and writers are all scrutinizing how much is spent and where it goes. Perhaps more important, aid is only a small part of what developing country governments spend. Their own resources finance 80 percent or more of health and education spending except in the most aid-dependent countries. "Lives in the Balance"...

Cutback Management in Public Bureaucracies: Popular Theories and Observed Outcomes in Whitehall
ISBN: 9780521130752 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bureaucratic cutbacks are in the air all over the world. Many people appear sure that taxes are too high and that there are too many bureaucrats. The British government under Margaret Thatcher is generally seen as having been most successful in this regard, particularly on staff reduction. Between 1976 and 1985 there was a drop of nearly 20 per cent, from three-quarters of a million to fewer than 600,000 civil servants in the United Kingdom central government. How were these cutbacks implemented? Did certain civil servants and policy programmes take the brunt, or was the misery shared...

Public Employment in Western Nations
ISBN: 9780521128513 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1985, this book provided comprehensive information on the nature and status of public employment in six western nations - Britain, America, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden. Beginning with a generalised account of public employment and its significance, the text moves through each of the six nations, devoting chapters to all of them. Through an abundant use of comparable statistics and the examination of substantial differences between states, a detailed analysis of public employment is developed. This analysis is enriched by its collaborative basis, with Rose, as the...

Successful Public Meetings: A Practical Guide
ISBN: 9781884829383 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Love 'em or hate 'em, public meetings are an essential part of most planners' jobs. How can you get them right from the start? The first step is to accept the maxim of well-known meeting planner Elaine Cogan: "A successful public meeting is the reward for studious attention to many factors; it is not the result of luck or happenstance." The second step is to follow the excellent advice she offers in Successful Public Meetings. Cogan identifies the three essential components of any successful meeting: effective leadership, advance planning, and good organization. She explains why it's...

Charitable Choice and Faith-Based Organizations
ISBN: 9783639204520 / Angielski / Miękka / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book assesses the impact of government funding, resulting from the passage of the charitable choice provision, on donations to faith-based organizations (FBOs). It tests the tenets of the crowding-out hypothesis, which posits that government funding to nonprofit organizations decreases or "crowds-out" private donations. The author uses mixed research methods to evaluate the relationship between public subsidies and private donations. The results of the quantitative research reject the crowding-out hypothesis and indicate that the relationship between government funding and private...

Oil Beneath Our Feet: America's Energy Non-Crisis
ISBN: 9781449986186 / Angielski / Miękka / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. ANWR lies in an area known as "The North Slope." Sara Palin (former V.P. hopeful) recently said "We need oil and natural gas, and speaking as someone who is very familiar with The North Slope, there's a lot of it " Oil is nothing more than liquid money. Anyone who makes a living in the Oil Retrieval, shipping, processing and selling trade would be silly not to try to take advantage of it. The federal government of course has a financial interest also. Taxes are one. Oil company lobbyists and special interest groups are another." The State of Alaska gets most of it's money from oil, and it's...

Neighborhood Government: The Local Foundations of Political Life
ISBN: 9780739109915 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At a time of intense urban civil unrest in the United States, this classic text by Milton Kotler was the first to forcefully demonstrate how governance on the neighborhood level could allow Americans to regain liberty and the right to govern their own lives. Kotler's original project showed how towns--once independent but then later annexed by adjacent cities--became exploited by centralized downtown power. As relevant today as it was when originally published in 1969, Neighborhood Government continues to speak to American cities whose faces have been radically changed by immigration, urban...

Factors Influencing Effectiveness of Crisis Management Networks
ISBN: 9783639229349 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crisis management has become one of the most important public policy areas in recent decades with greater numbers of manmade and natural disasters. History showed that well-implemented crisis management policies can save lives and reduce costs in a disaster. Informal relationships among crisis management employees were suggested to have a positive impact on crisis management effectiveness, yet without a quantitative assessment. This study considers crisis management effort as a network effort and employs complex adaptive systems theory in order to understand factors influencing ...

Comparing Public Bureaucracies: Problems of Theory and Method
ISBN: 9780817303686 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The comparative study of public policy once promised to make major contributions to our understanding of government. Much of that promise now appears unfulfilled. What accounts for this decline in intellectual fortunes and change in intellectual fashion? "Comparing Public Bureaucracies" seeks to understand why. One of the principal answers is that there is no readily accepted and dependent variable that would allow comparative public administration to conform to the usual canons of social research. In contrast, comparative public policy has a ready-made dependent variable in public...
