Book Synopsis Intent and Reality of the European Employment Strategy by : Gaby Umbach
Download or read book Intent and Reality of the European Employment Strategy written by Gaby Umbach and published by Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft. This book was released on 2009 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With new governance characteristics - such as mutual policy learning, exchange of best practices, or peer review - the European Employment Strategy (EES) and the Open Method of Coordination confront political actors within the EU with the new rules of policy coordination that also affect on governance structures within the European Multilevel System. This dissertation intensively deals with the different facets of the EES, analyzing its original intent and its political reality. It looks at the genesis, development, and characteristics of the EES, and in a highly elaborated and profound theory-based analysis, it examines the impact of the EES on political structures, employment policies, and underlying ideas, as well as the interplay of the EES with other supranational economic policies. In addition to the EU level analysis, the United Kingdom and Germany serve as case studies for the examination of adaptation at Member State level. In order to critically assess their applicability and validity in the given case, the book embeds this impact analysis into the academic debate on Europeanization and policy convergence. By doing so, it complements Europeanization studies on regulatory policies by analyzing the Europeanization potential and the impact of soft policy coordination within the European Multilevel Governance System.

Book Synopsis Global Governance from Regional Perspectives by : Anna Triandafyllidou
Download or read book Global Governance from Regional Perspectives written by Anna Triandafyllidou and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Governance from Regional Perspectives argues that the academic debate on global governance has neglected the combination of power with value constellations/culture. Both input and output legitimacy, for instance, or the exercise of control and influence are inextricably related to culture, worldviews, and values. The book questions theoretically the Western hegemonic and hence 'invisible' definition of governance and related concepts, as well as the Western hegemony over global governance institutions. It looks from the ground up whether, and how, alternative practices, institutions/networks, and concepts/norms of global governance are emerging in relation to emerging powers and regional integration systems. Global Governance from Regional Perspectives starts with a critical reading of global governance from multi-disciplinary views and engages with two important and under-studied aspects, notably how global governance can be measured and what lies behind such measurements , and questions the democratic deficit of global governance. The book provides a series of regional and country perspectives on global governance which engage with a specific example of an institution, process, or issue that is used to highlight why and how the western hegemonic views and practices of global governance are (or not) contested. The book offers a mapping of global governance phenomena in different regions of the world and a critical readings of those. As such this volume is different from all international relations or political science collections on global governance and also opens up a new field of study that has been hitherto neglected in sociological or cultural studies.

Book Synopsis Wage bargaining under the new European Economic Governance by : Guy Van Gyes
Download or read book Wage bargaining under the new European Economic Governance written by Guy Van Gyes and published by ETUI. This book was released on 2015-09-28 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the framework of the new European economic governance, neoliberal views on wages have further increased in prominence and have steered various reforms of collective bargaining rules and practices. As the crisis in Europe came to be largely interpreted as a crisis of competitiveness, wages were seen as the core adjustment variable for ‘internal devaluation’, the claim being that competitiveness could be restored through a reduction of labour costs. This book proposes an alternative view according to which wage developments need to be strengthened through a Europe-wide coordinated reconstruction of collective bargaining as a precondition for more sustainable and more inclusive growth in Europe. It contains major research findings from the CAWIE2 – Collectively Agreed Wages in Europe – project, conducted in 2014–2015 for the purpose of discussing and debating the currently dominant policy perspectives on collectively-bargained wage systems under the new European economic governance.

Book Synopsis Designing Prostitution Policy by : Wagenaar, Hendrik
Download or read book Designing Prostitution Policy written by Wagenaar, Hendrik and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2017-04-26 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. While the debate on regulating prostitution usually focuses on national policy, it is local policy measures that have the most impact on the ground. This book is the first to offer a detailed analysis of the design and implementation of prostitution policy at the local level and carefully situates local policy practices in national policy making and transnational trends in labour migration and exploitation. Based on detailed comparative research in Austria and the Netherlands, and bringing in experiences in countries such as New Zealand and Sweden, it analyses the policy instruments employed by local administrators to control prostitution and sex workers. Bridging the gap between theory and policy, emphasizing the multilevel nature of prostitution policy, while also highlighting more effective policies on prostitution, migration and labour exploitation, this unique book fills a gap in the literature on this contentious and important social issue.

Download or read book Strategic Management in Public Organizations written by Paul Joyce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Management in Public Organizations: European Practices and Perspectives offers the first wide-ranging survey and assessment of strategic management practices at various levels of government and public service in European countries. It shows that strategic management is much more than a management tool imported from the private sector - it has become a key element of public management reforms, and European governments at all levels are developing ‘strategic state’ characteristics. Written by leading European experts on strategic management in the public sector and in government, this book presents evaluations and analysis based on empirical investigations. The book covers strategic management at different levels of government, explore the roles of different players, and incorporate theory and practice, with opening and concluding chapters by the editors that provide an overview of strategic management in the public services and a cross-societal discussion of practices, reforms, and lessons. It reflects not only developments in strategic management practices in the European public sector, but also the increasing importance of strategic capabilities for the modernization of public governance. This book is ideal for students in postgraduate management courses (MPA, MSc, or MBA) in Europe and elsewhere.

Book Synopsis Transforming European Employment Policy by : Ralf Rogowski
Download or read book Transforming European Employment Policy written by Ralf Rogowski and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid 1990s, the focus of European employment and social policy has shifted from protection to promotion. This book provides a timely analysis of this new form of governance, and the new forms of policy delivery and audit which accompany it. The limitations of the current approach became particularly apparent during the financial crisis of 2008, and it has now reached a turning point. The book offers a new coherent European reform agenda that views easing transitions in employment and promoting the development of individual and collective capabilities as cornerstones. The contributing authors focus on vocational training, life course policies, reflexive labour law and social insurance, from theoretical, empirical and practical perspectives. Transforming European Employment Policy will be of great benefit to policymakers as well as those researching or studying European law, labour law, industrial relations, political science, social policy or international business.
