Download or read book Gerontology written by Kevin Morgan and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: `…excellent reading for both undergraduate and post-graduate students studying gerontology… a collection of articles which adds considerable depth to our current knowledge in what is loosely known as `gerontology'.' - Australian Journal on Ageing `The book manages, as the editor claims, to examine a range of approaches, methodologies, and controversies within gerontology… I find the book a good exponent of the breadth and strength of British gerontology.' * Ageing and Society `Most of the chapters of this thought-provoking book deal with different aspects of ageing in the normal population, but several have implications for care of people with dementia.' - Journal of Dementia Care In recent years gerontology has both diversified and specialised to meet the complex challenge of an ageing society. This book aims specifically to reflect these developments, and includes expert contributions from the disciplines of geography, economics, sociology and social policy, psychology, and medicine. Contributions have been selected not only to highlight topics of particular concern, but also to illustrate the development and deployment of pragmatic responses. The chapters address important issues in lifestyle, health, adult education, ethnicity, pensions, policy development, residential care, and professional training. Attention also focuses on debate within gerontology, particularly in the areas of community care, dementing illness and health economics.
Book Synopsis From Policy to Administration by : J.A. G. Griffith
Download or read book From Policy to Administration written by J.A. G. Griffith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, From Policy to Administration is not the conventional Festschrift written by many hands on many unrelated subjects- rather it is a tight collection of essays conceived and written around a unified theme. From one point of view, policy and administration are at two opposite ends of the governmental spectrum; but at the same time both are aspects of almost every single government activity and the essays in this book set out to reflect this apparent paradox. Dr Jones finds symptoms of it at the administrative heart of the policy making machine while Professor Friedrich looks at the nature of that machine and its relation to democratic forms. Four central essays by Professors Bernard Crick, Peter Self, John Mackintosh and Mr Sharpe, link policy making and administration to the controversies about participation, decentralisation, and devolution. Mr Foster considers the public corporation as a dynamic instrument concerned with the problem of efficiency. The book concludes with essays by Professors Mitchell and Griffith on the involvement of legal processes in the structure and functioning of policy and administration. The book does not attempt to cover all of William Robson’s interests. It is a mark of the versatility of his genius that no book could do that and remain unified. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of public administration and political studies.

Book Synopsis Law, Localism, and the Constitution by : John Stanton
Download or read book Law, Localism, and the Constitution written by John Stanton and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-24 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local government affects us all. Wherever we live, in towns, cities, villages, or the smallest of communities, there are locally elected councils tasked with representing people’s interests in the running of the local area. This involves, inter alia, providing public services, maintaining local spaces, and acting as a level of democratic governance within the broader constitutional and executive structure of the state. To fulfil these responsibilities, though, local government must be democratically legitimate; it must have at its disposal reasonable means and resources to function; and it must enjoy a healthy and balanced relationship with centralised government. This book explores and analyses the extent to which local government in the different parts of the United Kingdom is able to function effectively and democratically. It draws from local councillors’ views in analysing the state of local government under the current constitutional and governmental arrangements, discussing issues such as councils’ relationships with central government; citizen engagement; finance and public services; and the impact of recent reforms. It contrasts and compares the different approaches adopted in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, also setting out and discussing possible reforms of local government across the United Kingdom. While the focus is on the United Kingdom, the work includes a comparison with other relevant jurisdictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: England is one of the most centralised countries in the developed world - and its cities lack financial power. Big economic development decisions are taken by Whitehall and by unelected regional quangos. Policymakers agree that cities need more powers, but there's no consensus on how to devolve.City Leadership examines the economic case for financial devolution, using original research in Birmingham, Liverpool and Barnsley. It argues that Government must devolve substantial spending and revenue-raising powers to our biggest city-regions, starting with Greater Machester and Birmingham. The report feeds into the Lyons Inquiry, Local Government White Paper and Comprehensive Spending Review.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial Dimensions of Public Policy deals with the spatial dimensions of public policy with particular reference to resource management, urban development, regional development, and poverty alleviation. Emphasis is on the geographer's actual and potential contributions to public policy. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the nature of geographers' contributions to public policy and the reasons why they have not been as effective as the relationships between their interests and important issues of public policy might suggest. The next chapter describes how policy decisions are made in Canada and reviews the nature of disciplinary contributions to governmental decision-making at the highest level. Subsequent chapters focus on regional policy and broad issues of world strategy; specific contributions to public policy, particularly in the United Kingdom; spatial aspects of pollution policy; and policies outside the United Kingdom. Energy policy in Western Europe is discussed, together with a geographer's contribution to addressing environmental problems in New Zealand; the difficulties of achieving an accurate population census of Nigeria; and the reshaping of the legislative and congressional districts of the State of Washington. This monograph will be of interest to geographers and public policymakers.
Book Synopsis Divided we Fall: An Insider’s Perspective on Local Government Amalgamations by : Dr Ian Tiley
Download or read book Divided we Fall: An Insider’s Perspective on Local Government Amalgamations written by Dr Ian Tiley and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-11 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent Australian local government structural reform has manifested as council amalgamations and predominantly as imposed merger processes. This book examines council amalgamations across Australia over the past two decades and uncovers the case of council amalgamation in the NSW Clarence Valley Council (CVC) since 2004. The case of forced amalgamation of four general-purpose and two county councils could have been a recipe for chaos; instead this book describes the gains and the challenges. Writing from deep seated knowledge of local government this book details the net positive economic outcomes and financial benefits against measurable indicators and describes the impacts on local democracy. Based on detailed research, this long term local government ‘insider’ perspective will be of value to all those interested in driving change through local government reform.
