Book Synopsis Applying Public Opinion in Governance by : Scott Edward Bennett
Download or read book Applying Public Opinion in Governance written by Scott Edward Bennett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how public opinion is used to design, monitor and evaluate government programmes in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. Using information collected from the media and from international practitioners in the public opinion field, as well as interviews in each of the 4 countries, the author describes how views of public opinion and governance differ significantly between elites and the general public. Bennett argues that elites generally risk more by allowing the creation of new data, fearing that its analysis may become public and create communications and political problems of various kinds. The book finds evidence that recent conservative governments in several countries are changing their perspective on the use of public opinion, and that conventional public opinion studies are facing challenges from the availability of other kinds of information and new technologies. This book is a hugely valuable contribution to a hitherto little explored field and will appeal to academics and practitioners alike.

Download or read book Public Opinion written by Walter Lippmann and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-01-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Public Opinion," written by Walter Lippman in 1922, stands today as a classic in political and social thought. Lippmann's style may be difficult for some, but those who endeavor to read will the book fascinating. Written in lucid, clear prose, yet dealing with incredibly complex theoretical and philosophical issues, "Public Opinion" argues that not only is there not really an agreed-upon "Public Opinion," but that people rarely even understand what they think they know, let alone what they can agree upon with other people. Lippman persuasively demonstrates that opinions are formed in such a way that they have little or no bearing upon "really existing" facts and truth most of the time, and instead are ill-informed, vague, and haphazard in their application of rational thought. "Public Opinion" also discusses how most people have a very limited view of the government, and how the government synthesizes complex views into either-or issues such as "pro-life" or "pro-choice, arguing that that control of public opinion is a means to controlling public behavior. What made Walter Lippmann's thoughts, opinion and observations on current affairs so important to the movers and shakers of his day was his fundamental knowledge of history and how that knowledge related to the often bewildering array of modernist "spin" -- from the manipulation of popular opinion through propaganda, to the more often overlooked affect of human psychology on the course of politics and current events. Though often neglected, "Public Opinion" should be a wake-up call for what's wrong with government, and more widely attended to than Michael Moore or Ann Coulter. "Public Opinion" is a must-read for anyone fascinated by media, politics, or even more general philosophical or cultural questions.

Book Synopsis Administrative Reform by : Gerald E. Caiden
Download or read book Administrative Reform written by Gerald E. Caiden and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is administrative reform? How is it differentiated from other kinds of social reform? Who are administrative reformers and how do they approach their task? And who benefits and who suffers from it? Does a theory of administrative reform exist?A survey of published research on administrative reform reveals that satisfactory answers to these questions are handicapped by methodological and theoretical shortcomings. There are no common definitions, no agreement over content, no selected boundaries, no clear links with the wide phenomenon of social reform, no firm hypothesis tested by empirical findings, and no continuous dialogue between practitioners and theorists. This book is the first comprehensive and systematic treatment of the subject for professionals and students in the fields of public and private administration. It carefully examines the diverse interdisciplinary literature on the subject and identifies and develops the most promising approaches towards a unified theory.Caiden shows how the study of administrative reform can contribute substantially to the development of administrative theory, and constructs a working definition of the phenomenon of administrative reform, distinguishing it from social change and from administrative change. The practical use of this definition is tested by the analysis of various case histories of administrative cultures of different periods in history, from which a common cycle of reform processes is discerned. The author follows with a detailed examination of the processes themselves. The book concludes with a discussion of the obstacles to reform and a review of the author's findings and conclusions.

Book Synopsis Anonymous Power by : Okechukwu Ibeanu
Download or read book Anonymous Power written by Okechukwu Ibeanu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the structures and processes of political decision-making and governance in Nigeria. Since Nigeria returned to elected government in 1999, it has been observed that several factors account for the differences between the design of statutory structures and processes of political decision-making and how they operate in reality. In other words, there are wide gaps between statutes and practice of political decision-making. However, the nexus between the two remains largely understudied by political scientists. Instinctively, political scientists assume that informal influences in political decision-making are aberrations, episodic or temporary. This book is designed to interrogate the nexus between the formal and non-formal dimensions of the dynamics of political decision making in Nigeria and also provide evidence about the actual functioning of governmental structures in Nigeria. The thesis of the book is that the non-formal dimension of political decision making as evidenced in rising ethno-political patronages, religious sentiments, clientelism and factionalism, are interacting with formal decision-making structures in ways that largely undermine the latter and, by extension, the democratic system. The book pursues this thesis by examining the roles of actors and institutions including, electoral choices made by voters, legislations, which perhaps is the most fundamental form of political decision-making, policies made by the executive and administration, as well as decision making within political parties, since parties are sites for articulating and aggregating issues on which decisions are to be made.
