It represents research efforts conducted from December 2007 to November 2012, and it covers a wide range of experiences in planning and implementing public-private partnerships in countries that belong to two very different socio-economic regions: Europe and Australia. The study on Australia deals with key concepts and types of public-partnerships, as well as p...

Organizational Learning in Schools
This volume presents the view that what matters most are learning processes in organizations and ways of enhancing the sophistication and power of these processes. Each contributor, therefore, explicitly addresses the meaning(s) of organizational learning which they have adopted themselves.
The contributors to this book mount a robust defence of the concept and practice of public service at a crucial time for its future. They question the ill-conceived assumptions behind the endless programmes of reform imposed by successive governments, often on the basis of advice from people with no direct experience of working in the public sector. With cuts in public spending by the coalition government and "austerity" programmes being imposed in Britain and abroad, the book could not be more...

Politisches System Und Politische Innovation (Beitraege Zur Gesellschaftsforschung. Contributions To Socia, #9)
by Rudiger Mottl and Reudiger Mottl
Ziel der vorliegenden Abhandlung ist es, einen Erklarungsansatz dafur zu finden, dass von Regierungen initiierte Neuerungen im System moderner Demokratien haufig scheitern. In der politikwissenschaftlichen Literatur findet man dazu vor allem normative oder doktrinare Erklarungen. Die analytische Vorgehensweise fusst auf einem interdisziplinaren Ansatz, der politikwissenschaftliche, soziologische und politik-okonomische Kategorien vereinigt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird zunachst das politische Sys...
Under New Ownership
by Shahid Yusuf, Dwight H. Perkins, and Kaoru Nabeshima
Although the relative size of the public sector has been much reduced worldwide since the early 1980s, it remains the dominant borrower from the banking system and responsible for the majority of the non-performing assets of banks. Drawing upon new firm-level survey data, this volume assesses how changes in the ownership structure of SOEs affect management, governance, innovation, and performance, comparing these SOEs to other types of firms in China. It also considers China's reform efforts a...

Case Studies of U.S. Economic Sanctions
by Hossein G Askari, John Forrer, Hildy Teegen, and Jiawen Yang
This is the second of three related, empirically based studies examining the broad range of issues raised by the use of economic sanctions. This volume provides a detailed examination of the impact of U.S. economic sanctions on China, Cuba, and Iran as well as the impact on the United States itself. Ashari, Forrer, Teegen, and Yang analyze whether or not these case studies in economic sanctions had been successful by measuring their historical impact and modeling their effectiveness. This boo...
Globalization transcends borders and cultures as it develops both from the natural flow of information and communication technologies and as a directed and driven quest for global hegemony by self-serving corporations and world political heavyweights. It bears a multifaceted web of influence that manifests in inequalities in growth, prosperity, and
Zwang als Grundubel in der Gesellschaft? (Untersuchungen zur Ordnungstheorie und Ordnungspolitik, #52)
by Philipp Batthyany
Grundbegriff des klassischen Liberalismus ist der Begriff der negativen Freiheit: Freiheit als Abwesenheit von Zwang. Doch was ist Zwang? Warum ist Zwang in der freiheitlichen Sicht ein UEbel? Der liberale Nationaloekonom und Sozialphilosoph Friedrich August von Hayek entwickelt in seiner Verfassung der Freiheit eine Bestimmung des Begriffspaars Freiheit und Zwang, die jedoch unvollstandig bleibt und einige grundsatzliche Fragen an seine Moralphilosophie und Theorie der kulturellen Evolution auf...
Diagnosing Corruption in Ethiopia (Directions in Development. Public Sector Governance)
For decades, corruption in Ethiopia has only been discussed at the margins. Perhaps because many have not experienced corruption as a significant constraint to their lives and businesses, or perhaps because a culture of circumspection has dampened open dialogue, Ethiopia has neither seen the information flows nor the debate on corruption that most other countries have seen in recent years. This study attempts to fill this information gap. Conducted by the World Bank (with financial support from...
