This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accountability is essential for good governance, and in many Asian countries the ombudsman is the key accountability institution. Originating in the West, the concept of the ombudsman arrived relatively late in Asia. Yet more and more ombudsman offices are being established in Asia, and they play a critical role in the fight against incompetence and injustice on the part of government officials. This report presents in-depth research on Asian ombudsmen, with a focus on best practices and emerging issues, especially in the context of the new public management, and includes recommendations to policy makers. It will be a valuable resource for scholars, ombudsmen, and anyone else interested in this vital institution.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, many countries in Asia and around the world have embraced “new public management” (NPM), an innovative approach to improving public service delivery. NPM redefines the role of government, especially when it comes to service provision, by emphasizing such policies as decentralization and the involvement of the private sector, both key strategies for Asian countries in their pursuit of economic development, good governance, and democratization. As more public services are decentralized or turned over to the private sector, there have been concerns about the implications of NPM for accountability and the right of the public to obtain redress. This paper explores the role of the ombudsman when service delivery has been decentralized and/or privatized. It compares country practices, describes the challenges faced by ombudsman institutions in selected Asian countries, offers lessons and insights, suggests possible areas for wider replication, and advances strategies for strengthening the role of the ombudsman within the context of NPM. Asian ombudsman offices in the course of their development, acquired features specific to their countries while retaining the essence of ombudsmanship. They include roles and functions that are not typically part of the classical ombudsman's portfolio, and it is this adaptability that will prove useful in responding to the challenges posed by NPM.

This book was released on 2013-01-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commissioned by the International Ombudsman Institute (IOI), the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights (BIM) in Vienna conducted a comparative analytical study on Ombudsman Institutions in the Australasia and Pacific region between January 2011 and April 2012. In Part 1, this book provides an analytical comparison of the public sector Ombudsman Institutions in Australia (the Commonwealth Ombudsman and the state/territory Ombudsmen of all Australian states as well as of the Northern Territory and the ACT), the Cook Islands, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Taiwan, Tonga and Vanuatu. In addition to a comparative analysis showing the partial heterogeneity of the Institutions, a comprehensive overview of common features, and explorations of the specifics and peculiarities of the Institutions, Part 2 presents separate reports on the 16 different jurisdictions featuring their main functions as follows: - Legal basis, legal status and organisation, - Mandate, object of control and standard of control, - Powers, including legal quality and impact of the outcomes of investigative procedures, - Relationship to the administration, the judiciary and the legislator, and - Special characteristics. Part 2 is based on information provided by the Institutions themselves in questionnaires sent out at the outset of the study, an analysis of the respective establishing acts and other relevant laws, and on relevant scientific publications and the Institutions’ Annual Reports. The reports also refer to relevant legal provisions and include websites addresses for ease of reference.
Download or read book Ombudsman as a Global Institution written by Tero Erkkilä and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-27 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the ombudsman as a global institution. It has spread all over the world and its institutional development is increasingly being governed transnationally. Initially an institution of administrative law, the ombudsman has become a human rights institution and institution of good governance. These ideational shifts have influenced the global diffusion of the ombudsman but also the way in which this institution of accountability functions. The ombudsman is a peculiar institution of public accountability - both an institution and individual - that observes changes in the general political climate and engages in renegotiations of its intra-institutional position. The global models associated with the ombudsman are a source of organizational ideas, legitimacy, and sense of orientation, but they treat institutional actors differently, working also as mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion. The book tracks the global diffusion and institutional evolution of the ombudsman. Its chapters on institutional cases further explore the joint institutional history of the Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Chancellor of Justice in Finland, and the European Ombudsman.
