Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Bureaucratic Manoeuvres, John Grundy examines profound transformations in the governance of unemployment in Canada. While policy makers previously approached unemployment as a social and economic problem to be addressed through macroeconomic policies, recent labour market policy reforms have placed much more emphasis on the supposedly deficient employability of the unemployed themselves, a troubling shift that deserves close, critical attention. Tracing a behind-the-scenes history of public employment services in Canada, Bureaucratic Manoeuvres shows just how difficult it has been for administrators and frontline staff to govern unemployment as a problem of individual employability. Drawing on untapped government records, it sheds much-needed light on internal bureaucratic struggles over the direction of labour market policy in Canada and makes a key contribution to Canadian political science, economics, public administration, and sociology.

Book excerpt: The Tzoumerka is a mountainous area in Northwestern Greece that presents considerable development challenges with respect to economic growth, social cohesion and governance. The area is highly dependent on traditional agricultural activities that are only made viable by considerable Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) support. Unfortunately, this support will almost inevitably decline. As incentives to modernise agricultural activities and promote other business activity have been ineffective, local development policy will need to go farther. It must direct the local population away from old surv.

This book was released on 2005-11-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Finnish way" of economic growth has proven successful over the past decade, and has promoted relatively balanced development across the country. In order to maintain its capacity for economic competitiveness and development, Finland is dealing with challenges that may affect future outcomes and highlight regional development issues. Given intense competition in both ICT and more traditional product markets, as well as rapid ageing of the population, how can Finland maintain and enhance the competitiveness of those regions that are the nation's economic drivers? How can the country promote innovation and entrepreneurship in intermediate cities particularly vulnerable to low cost competition and thus permanently upgrade the quality of regional products and services? How can Finland facilitate growth in those regions that have potential for development, but so far have been less successful in exploiting their comparative advantages? Together with a renewed interest in the contribution of regional development to national growth, these questions imply increased attention to multi-level governance issues. The Territorial Review of Finland is integrated into a wider programme of national territorial reviews undertaken by the OECD Territorial Development Policy Committee. The overall aim of the territorial review series is to provide practical policy advice to national governments. Recent national territorial reviews have covered Canada, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico and Switzerland.
