ISBN: 9789401072205 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In less developed countries (LDCs) there is considerable concern that the developments in the Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) may lead to a more inward looking European Union (EU).

This volume consists of 11 chapters by scholars from the EU, the CEECs and LDCs. Each paper is discussed in terms of its policy relevance by a policy maker as well as by an academic specializing in the field. In the opening chapter we...

Public Sector Reforms in Developing Countries : Paradoxes and Practices
ISBN: 9780415858564 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The underpinning assumption of public management in the developing world as a process of planned change is increasingly being recognized as unrealistic.

Paradoxes inevitably emerge in policy network practice and design. The ability to manage government departments and operations has become less important than the ability to navigate the complex world of...

In the age of globalization and with increased interdependence in the world today, there is a question we should raise: 'do we need, and could we attain, a world government capable of ensuring peace and facilitating worldwide well-being in a just and efficient way?'

Two such arguments seem to be especially strong: security, which is becoming more and more a matter of joint concern; and sustainability, which is increasingly visible in issues such as climate change,...

Relations among major political factions broke down in late 2011-a development that, when coupled with spillover from increasingly sectarian conflict in Syria, threatens Iraq's stability, its ability to balance its relations with both Tehran and Washington and the achievements of the long U.S. intervention in Iraq.
