ISBN: 9786131513022 / Francuski / Miękka / 548 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Le role des collectivites locales dans l'organisation du service public de l'electricite est un domaine peu connu de l'action publique en raison du poids symbolique de EDF en France.

Les syndicats departementaux d'electricite sont ainsi devenus des lieux et des outils d'un pouvoir discret pour les elus qui en ont la charge. L'analyse geopolitique...

Public-private Partnership Model: improving States' local economies
ISBN: 9783639233049 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

At one extreme, the CBO might collapse due to increased bureaucratization imposed by government agencies. At the other extreme,...

The means of producing information is at the heart of the paradox. The process systematically produces...
