Book Synopsis The Province of Administrative Law by : Michael Taggart
Download or read book The Province of Administrative Law written by Michael Taggart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 1997-06-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past decade, administrative law has experienced remarkable development. It has consistently been one of the most dynamic and potent areas of legal innovation and of judicial activism. It has expanded its reach into an ever broadening sphere of public and private activities. Largely through the mechanism of judicial review, the judges in several jurisdictions have extended the ambit of the traditional remedies, partly in response to a perceived need to fill an accountability vacuum created by the privatisation of public enterprises, the contracting-out of public services, and the deregulation of industry and commerce. The essays in this volume focus upon these and other shifts in administrative law, and in doing so they draw upon the experiences of several jurisdictions: the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The result is a wide-ranging and forceful analysis of the scope, development and future direction of administrative law.

Download or read book Hearing the Victim written by Anthony Bottoms and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-03-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years far more attention has been paid to victims of crime both in terms of awareness of the effect of crime upon their lives, and in changes that have been made to the criminal justice system to improve their rights and treatment. This process seems set to continue, with legislative plans announced to rebalance the criminal justice system in favour of the victim. This latest book in the Cambridge Criminal Justice Series brings together leading authorities in the field to review the role of the victim in the criminal justice system in the context of these developments.
Book Synopsis Evaluation and Development by : Osvaldo N. Feinstein
Download or read book Evaluation and Development written by Osvaldo N. Feinstein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnership is of growing importance in development work. Partnerships among state, private business, and civil society organizations are increasingly used to deliver the goods and services required for balanced growth and poverty reduction. Aid activities have shifted from a project focus to a more strategic and holistic focus on programs, sectors, and policies. With this new orientation, partnerships are often essential to deal with the added complexity and the larger number of agencies, groups, and stakeholders involved.The Partnership Dimension takes on the issues in a series of chapters divided into two general parts: Part 1, "Foundations of Partnership and Their Evaluation," covers the types of development partnership and critical issues involved, and Part 2, "Partnerships in Practice," then illustrates the aspects and lessons of partnership experience through a series of case studies. Many of the studies focus on the benefits of partnerships between institutions of government and civil society. Benefits include effective knowledge transfer, greater cross-national cooperation, the creation of new networks and capacity, and penetration of new markets. Private firms use partnerships with competitors to learn or reduce risk.There is much to learn about when, where, and how best to use partnerships, and, in particular, partnerships that involve less traditional combinations of actors, such as global partnerships for public policy, country-focused aid partnerships, private sector partnerships for knowledge creation, and partnerships for community development involving business, nongovernmental organizations, and government.Relatively little is known about the costs and benefits, and the risks and rewards, of different types of partnerships, or about how best to conduct partnerships for different purposes. This is why the current volume in the World Bank series is relevant for both development practitioners and policy analysts.
Download or read book Made in Nunavut written by Jack Hicks and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 1, 1999, after decades of dreams and negotiations and years of planning, the Inuit-dominated territory of Nunavut came into being in Canada’s Eastern and Central Arctic. This was a momentous occasion, signifying not only the first change to the map of Canada in over half a century but also a remarkable achievement in terms of creating a new government from the ground up. Made in Nunavut provides the first behind-the-scenes account of how the Government of Nunavut was designed and implemented. Written by leading authorities on governance in the Canadian Arctic, this book pays particular attention to the most distinctive and innovative organizational design feature of the new government – the decentralization of offices and functions that would normally be located in the capital to small communities spread out across the vast territory. It also critically assesses whether decentralization has delivered “better” government for the people of Nunavut.
Book Synopsis The Governance of Privacy by : Colin J. Bennett
Download or read book The Governance of Privacy written by Colin J. Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2003.This book offers a broad and incisive analysis of the governance of privacy protection with regard to personal information in contemporary advanced industrial states. Based on research across many countries, it discusses the goals of privacy protection policy and the changing discourse surrounding the privacy issue, concerning risk, trust and social values. It analyzes at length the contemporary policy instruments that together comprise the inventory of possible solutions to the problem of privacy protection. It argues that privacy protection depends upon an integration of these instruments, but that any country's efforts are inescapably linked with the actions of others that operate outside its borders. The book concludes that, in a ’globalizing’ world, this regulatory interdependence could lead either to a search for the highest possible standard of privacy protection, or to competitive deregulation, or to a more complex outcome reflecting the nature of the issue and its policy responses.

Book Synopsis Democracy in Canada by : Donald J. Savoie
Download or read book Democracy in Canada written by Donald J. Savoie and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2019-09-02 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's representative democracy is confronting important challenges. At the top of the list is the growing inability of the national government to perform its most important roles: namely mapping out collective actions that resonate in all regions as well as enforcing these measures. Others include Parliament's failure to carry out important responsibilities, an activist judiciary, incessant calls for greater transparency, the media's rapidly changing role, and a federal government bureaucracy that has lost both its way and its standing. Arguing that Canadians must reconsider the origins of their country in order to understand why change is difficult and why they continue to embrace regional identities, Democracy in Canada explains how Canada's national institutions were shaped by British historical experiences, and why there was little effort to bring Canadian realities into the mix. As a result, the scope and size of government and Canadian federalism have taken on new forms largely outside the Constitution. Parliament and now even Cabinet have been pushed aside so that policy makers can design and manage the modern state. This also accounts for the average citizen's belief that national institutions cater to economic elites, to these institutions' own members, and to interest groups at citizens' own expense. A masterwork analysis, Democracy in Canada investigates the forces shaping the workings of Canadian federalism and the country's national political and bureaucratic institutions.

Book Synopsis Intelligence and Government in Britain and the United States by : Philip H.J. Davies
Download or read book Intelligence and Government in Britain and the United States written by Philip H.J. Davies and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing a dose of reality to the stuff of literary thrillers, this masterful study is the first closely detailed, comparative analysis of the evolution of the modern British and American intelligence communities. Intelligence and Government in Britain and the United States: A Comparative Perspective is an intensive, comparative exploration of the role of organizational and political culture in the development of the intelligence communities of America and her long-time ally. Each national system is examined as a detailed case study set in a common conceptual and theoretical framework. The first volume lays out that framework and examines the U.S. intelligence community. The second volume offers the U.K. case study as well as overall conclusions. Particular attention is paid here to the fundamentally different concepts of what "intelligence" entails in the United States and United Kingdom, as well as to the nations' different approaches to managing change- and information-intensive activities. The impact of these differences is demonstrated by examining the evolution of the two intelligence communities from their inceptions prior to World War II through their development during the Cold War and the transformations that have taken place since, especially in the wake of the September 2001 terrorist attacks and 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Book Synopsis HC 147 - Major Projects Authority by : Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts
Download or read book HC 147 - Major Projects Authority written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons: Committee of Public Accounts and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of the Major Projects Authority is supported but without stronger powers it is unlikely to achieve its aim of a systemic improvement in project delivery across government. The projects in the MPA's portfolio represent a huge and rising cost to the taxpayer. The MPA, however, only has informal influence over departments. It has no powers if a department decides to proceed with a project against MPA advice. It needs to have stronger, more formal mechanisms for driving change, and there should be transparency where ministers or officials have rejected its recommendations. The MPA also needs to focus its efforts more on the early stages of a project, working with departments to ensure that they have devoted sufficient attention to the concept, design and business case for projects before seeking approval. It could also improve its impact by prioritising its work more effectively. The creation of the Major Projects Leadership Academy is welcomed, but the MPA needs to target top decision-makers as well as managers. Nobody in central government is responsible for overseeing projects at a strategic whole-of-government level. The Treasury should take ownership and responsibility for overseeing the government portfolio. The MPA should also publish more information on each project, including the amount spent to date, even if this means reviewing the Government's transparency policy. There is also particular concern that the decision to award a 'reset' rating to the Universal Credit project may have been an attempt to keep information secret and prevent scrutiny
