Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Subnational Constitutions and Constitutionalism written by Patricia Popelier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 501 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook provides a toolbox of definitions and typologies to develop a theory of multilevel constitutionalism and subnational constitutions. The volume examines systems with subnational entities that have full subnational constituent autonomy and systems where subnational constituent powers, while claimed by subnational governments, are incomplete or non-existent. Understanding why complete subnational constituent power exists or is denied sheds significant light on the status and functioning of subnational constitutions. The book deals with questions of how constitutions at multiple levels of a political system can co-exist and interact. The term ‘multilevel constitutionalism’, recognized as explaining how a supranational European constitution can exist alongside those of the Member States, is now used to capture dynamics between constitutions at the national, subnational and, where applicable, supranational levels. Broad in scope, the book encompasses many different types of multi-tiered systems world-wide to map the possible meanings, uses and challenges of subnational or state constitutions in a variety of political and societal contexts. The book develops the building blocks of an explanatory theory of subnational constitutionalism and as such will be an essential reference for all those interested in comparative constitutional law, federalism and governance.

Download or read book Who Decides written by Jeffrey S. Sutton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 497 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "51 Imperfect Solutions told stories about specific state and federal individual constitutional rights, and explained two benefits of American federalism: how two sources of constitutional protection for liberty and property rights could be valuable to individual freedom and how the state courts could be useful laboratories of innovation when it comes to the development of national constitutional rights. This book tells the other half of the story. Instead of focusing on state constitutional individual rights, this book takes on state constitutional structure. Everything in law and politics, including individual rights, comes back to divisions of power and the evergreen question: Who decides? The goal of this book is to tell the structure side of the story and to identify the shifting balances of power revealed when one accounts for American constitutional law as opposed to just federal constitutional law. The book contains three main parts-on the judicial, executive, and legislative branches-as well as stand-alone chapters on home-rule issues raised by local governments and the benefits and burdens raised by the ease of amending state constitutions. A theme in the book is the increasingly stark divide between the ever-more democratic nature of state governments and the ever-less democratic nature of the federal government over time"--

Download or read book Federal Character and Affirmative Action written by Michael Odibeoha and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nigerian federal character principle was first introduced in the 1979 Constitution (and retained in the 1999 Constitution) as practical solution of Nigeria's perennial ethnic conflict. Unfortunately, the good intentions of the makers of the 1979 Constitution regarding the provision of federal character were misunderstood, abused and thwarted over the years by military regimes and largely also by their democratic successors since 1999. The principle has been left to take different interpretations and to be applied arbitrarily by any government in power. In fact, both to the policy-makers and many Nigerian scholars, the principle should be applied as "affirmative action" and "quota system". Some scholars even confuse it with the principle of federalism. Nigeria's federal character in none of these. The distinction of federal character from the other principles, but especially from affirmative action (in the case, the American version, from where the concept of affirmative action originated), constitutes the central thrust of this work. A critical re-examination of its original constitutional intentions and meaning as a principle of "ethnic engineering" on the one hand, and as a version of "consociational democracy", on the other hand, has been carried out so as to redirect and otherwise laudable principle from being a divisive factor to a unifying one from which it was intended.

This book was released on 2010-06-22 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of the litany of Nigeria’s public sector problems is a fundamental crisis of governance. The current crisis of development in Nigeria can be attributed in part to a history of poor governance characterized by corruption, social injustice and political instability. Effective leadership and governance are critical to a country’s economic and sociopolitical development. During the 1950s and 1960s Nigerian public sector was regarded as one of the best in Africa, today it is ranked among the worst in the world. The factors isolated include ineffective control of corruption, lack of rule of law, poorly articulated government policies, and poor policy implementations. The implications for Nigeria have been a regressive leadership, poor governance and the lack of social and societal development.
Download or read book LEADERSHIP AND ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE written by Dr. Godwin C. Arikibe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leadership is inherent in every being despite one’s job profile. But qualitative training and other traits are very important for the right behaviours. Every follower possesses attribute of a leader but because these are somewhat concealed, to lead effectively becomes a huge challenge to many. This book is as a result of many years of research. It focused on discovering those behavioural attributes that could combine effectively with the leader’s competing roles to enhance his performance. A Competing Value Framework (CVF) was applied to understand the leadership behaviours, characteristics, attributes, and roles that could influence a leader even in the face of contingency factors. The result was quite revealing. Leaders that combine their roles with other attributes/skills achieve behavioural complexity, which are performance enhancing behaviours. Furthermore, leaders are distinguished by their unique mental attitude, particularly in four roles they play: motivation, vision, analytic, and task master roles. Combination of these with other attributes and characteristics enhances the leadership complexity. This book is a useful material for those in the ministries, academia, and organisations of different sizes. It’s a book every leader must possess to comprehend the behavioural complexities relevant for organisational performance.
