Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During my 38 years of service in the IAS and 10 years of active post-retirement life, I, like many other colleagues, have remained concerned about how governance is getting delivered at the ground level. There are good intentions when any program is drawn up or any delivery of service is planned but for me the test point of its effectiveness and success is how exactly the common man is able to avail of that facility without any hassle. At the moment the central government is keen that government should be at the minimum level but maximum governance should be there and through a whole lot of facilitations including reliance on technology, every attempt is being made to make the life of particularly the common man convenient and comfortable as far as these issues are concerned.In this book I have put together my understanding of the issues involved in ensuring hassle-free governance and delivery at the ground level. I do hope this book will further contribute to the challenging task of making governance simple as well as meaningful to the common man in the fullest and most appropriate sense of the word.I find it difficult to find words to wholeheartedly thank Shri M Venkaiah Naidu, the Honorable Vice President of India who has been kind enough to encourage me by providing a message to introduce the book and also for highlighting the point that the book will provide useful guidance for all those who care about deepening India's democratic ethos and putting people at the centre of governance.I am particularly grateful to my esteemed friend Dr. P. K. Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, for writing the Foreword to this book and placing it in the appropriate context of our governance reforms.

Download or read book Our Civic Image and Our Governments Classic Reprint written by Henry Hardin Cherry and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Civic Image and Our Governments Our government grew out of character. It sprang from the lives of men. Its organization was the result of conscience implanted in man and of character developed by him. Patriotism and character are closely related terms. An earnest attempt has been made in this book to place upon the hearts of the people the responsibility of being citizens of the United States. The only thing new or original the author claims is in bringing man closer to government and government _closer to man; in showing the close analogy between individual character and national character; and in pointing out the likeness of the form of our government to the nature and being of man of self-government to civil government. The study of civil government is usually regarded as a dry and uninteresting subject. The author has endeavored in the preparation of this course of study to make it an interest ing and readable, as well as a logical, treatise upon the subject of govern ments. While it is impossible to give a publication of this kind the thrilling interest that characterizes some books, yet it is earnestly hoped that the attention of the reader will be held. Whoever opens this book with [a view of reading its pages and noting the parallel between soul government and civil government, will find it to his interest to study carefully the accompanying chart. It suggests more than it tells in words. It is an outline of the contents of the book. It is a part of this preface. As far as the author knows, this is the first book on Civics that has been highly illustrated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bureaucracy and Self Government written by Brian J. Cook and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A thorough update to this well-regarded political history of American public administration. In this new edition of his provocative book Bureaucracy and Self-Government, Brian J. Cook reconsiders his thesis regarding the inescapable tension between the ideal of self-government and the reality of administratively centered governance. Revisiting his historical exploration of competing conceptions of politics, government, and public administration, Cook offers a novel way of thinking constitutionally about public administration that transcends debates about “big government.” Cook enriches his historical analysis with new scholarship and extends that analysis to the present, taking account of significant developments since the mid-1990s. Each chapter has been updated, and two new chapters sharpen Cook’s argument for recognizing a constitutive dimension in normative theorizing about public administration. The second edition also includes reviews of Jeffersonian impacts on administrative theory and practice and Jacksonian developments in national administrative structures and functions, a look at the administrative theorizing that presaged progressive reforms in civil service, and insight into the confounding complexities that characterize public thinking about administration in a postmodern political order.

Download or read book Popular Participation in the Integration of the East African Community written by Korwa Gombe Adar and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The post-independence integration endeavor of the East African Community has been punctuated with challenges, culminating into the collapse of the 1967-1977 regional organization. The renaissance of the integration agenda since the re-establishment of the regional organization in 1999 has rekindled epistemological debate among scholars and practitioners on the East African Community raison d'etre and integration process. This volume is the first of its kind in this ongoing debate that puts into proper context the nexus between the East African citizens and the integration agenda. Focusing on the Partner States case studies, the authors of the chapters operationalize the concepts of popular participation, eastafricanness, eastafricanization, democratization, and integration. Using political, national constitutions and EAC treaty, communication and awareness dimensions the authors of the chapters have analyzed the nexus between the EACcitizens and the integration process. The study generally proceeds from the premise that the exclusion of the EAC citizens from exercising their sovereign rights through popular participation undermines the prospects for the institutionalization and consolidation of the EAC identity, eastafricanness, eastafricanization, democratization and integration.
Download or read book The Rule of Nobody Saving America from Dead Laws and Broken Government written by Philip K. Howard and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2014-04-14 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The secret to good government is a question no one in Washington is asking: “What’s the right thing to do?” What’s wrong in Washington is deeper than you think. Yes, there’s gridlock, polarization, and self-dealing. But hidden underneath is something bigger and more destructive. It’s a broken governing system. From that comes wasteful government, rising debt, failing schools, expensive health care, and economic hardship. Rules have replaced leadership in America. Bureaucracy, regulation, and outmoded law tie our hands and confine policy choices. Nobody asks, “What’s the right thing to do here?” Instead, they wonder, “What does the rule book say?” There’s a fatal flaw in America’s governing system—trying to decree correctness through rigid laws will never work. Public paralysis is the inevitable result of the steady accretion of detailed rules. America is now run by dead people—by political leaders from the past who enacted mandatory programs that churn ahead regardless of waste, irrelevance, or new priorities. America needs to radically simplify its operating system and give people—officials and citizens alike—the freedom to be practical. Rules can’t accomplish our goals. Only humans can get things done. In The Rule of Nobody Philip K. Howard argues for a return to the framers’ vision of public law—setting goals and boundaries, not dictating daily choices. This incendiary book explains how America went wrong and offers a guide for how to liberate human ingenuity to meet the challenges of this century.
