Book excerpt: Not many books can be described as being the most comprehensive and thorough studies of their subjects available, and at the same time as being written in so lively a fashion that they easily hold the reader's attention from beginning to end. "The Public's Business" is one such exceptional work. And its subject fully warrants the scholarly research and writer's skill that was invested in it--the public authorities in the United States wield enormous political and financial power and are proliferating faster than any other type of governmental entity. The public authority is a peculiarly American institution--it is a hybrid corporation, depending on the private money markets of investment banking for capital, yet impacting directly on the public sector and indirectly subsidized by the public through the tax-exempt status of municipal bonds. Over 7000 such authorities currently spend more than 21 million dollars a year on operations and new capital facilities."The Public's Business" traces the growth of these governmental corporations and makes recommendations for their future development based on the author's balanced assessment of their present strengths and weaknesses.The author writes that "Since the births of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey in 1921 and the Tennessee Valley Authority in 1933, the most common form of government enterprise has been the public authority.... [They] build and run public works of monumental proportions: bridges, tunnels, parkways, great dams, ports, airports, public buildings, industrial and recreational parks. They provide essential services: water, gas, electric power, transportation, training, insurance, and mortgage finance. They have functioned with technical competence, with relative speed, and until recently with little obvious burden on taxpayers. They have rarely been sullied by open scandal or serious mismanagement...."However, the author also probes the flaws in the foundation on which these strengths and successes rest. She calls for reforms that will increase the public accountability of authorities, open up their operations to closer public scrutiny, make their governing structures more democratic, and realign their goals more closely in accordance with public policy.The book's approach is both wide-ranging and integrative. It is first of all a comparative study based on a large number and variety of actual cases (including among others several Pennsylvania municipal corporations, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, the Lower Colorado River Authority of Texas, the authorities supervised by the Metropolitan Council of Minneapolis-St. Paul, and the U.S. Postal Service). The author and her research collaborators conducted a series of interviews with authority management to supplement the data found in the documentary record.At the same time, the book offers a synthesizing treatment that allows insights from the fields of public administration, political science, economics and finance, and the sociology of organizations to be fitted into a systematic general framework. And the reader need not be a specialist in any of these discipline to profit from this work.The book is further enlivened with accounts of the activities of some of the colorful and powerful managers of public authorities, such as Robert Moses and Austin J. Tobin.

This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Book is overview of Outer executive Departments and 64 Independent Federal Agencies; the Outer Executive Departments are--United States Department of Interior, Labor, Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Transportation, Education, and Veterans Affairs. In the 64 Federal Independent Agencies, some are larger than many Departments; for instance, United States Postal Services employs 656, 000; ranks third next to Wal-Mart and Department of Defense that employs 700,000 civilians. Accordingly, it had been my journey to know the governmental agencies; for me, the local and states basic social service administration never been satisfactory if I don’t know inside the United States Department of Health and Human Services’ category of its agencies. Because of that, it influences my learning and leads me made further research on governmental agencies. In these ten Outer Executive Department and 64 Independent Agencies--which I put together as “ a Policy of Federal Independent Agencies and Federal Outer Executive Departments”, paved my way to supplementary learning on Public Services and would leads me makes further researches on States, local and Cities governments agencies. This Book can be used by Graduates and Post Graduates students as special topic on Federal Agencies/be second Book in different classes, or be main text in certain levels, and it also can be Handbook for Public Administrators, United States Congress who creates and defines the Agencies’ Policy and Mission, from 2nd to 111th Congresses, and to the Heads of these Agencies, and states Administrators, Directors, Public Managers and any interested individual who want to learn more on Governmental Agencies. The Heads and Staff of these Departments and Agencies may know more mainly on ones’ or more Agencies than the Policy on this Book, but they can easily Master other Departments and Agencies like their owns if they have this Book on hand. Bases on my believe, Graduate students from Public Administration, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, Social Work, Law, and International Relation etc never apprehend all agencies specifically as how I put and illustrate them; except their Agencies. I always cross these agencies in different books, but nothing enough enlighten me how the Agencies and Policies are; now I am clearly sure on agencies’ policy, roles and organizations, etc. This Pan’s 2nd Book as well as first Book is away beyond Administrative Laws and Administrative Ethic and Leadership.

Book excerpt: A U.S. senator, leading the fight against money in politics, chronicles the long shadow corporate power has cast over our democracy In Captured, U.S. Senator and former federal prosecutor Sheldon Whitehouse offers an eye-opening take on what corporate influence looks like today from the Senate Floor, adding a first-hand perspective to Jane Mayer’s Dark Money. Americans know something is wrong in their government. Senator Whitehouse combines history, legal scholarship, and personal experiences to provide the first hands-on, comprehensive explanation of what's gone wrong, exposing multiple avenues through which our government has been infiltrated and disabled by corporate powers. Captured reveals an original oversight by the Founders, and shows how and why corporate power has exploited that vulnerability: to strike fear in elected representatives who don’t “get right” by threatening million-dollar "dark money" election attacks (a threat more effective and less expensive than the actual attack); to stack the judiciary—even the Supreme Court—in "business-friendly" ways; to "capture” the administrative agencies meant to regulate corporate behavior; to undermine the civil jury, the Constitution's last bastion for ordinary citizens; and to create a corporate "alternate reality" on public health and safety issues like climate change. Captured shows that in this centuries-long struggle between corporate power and individual liberty, we can and must take our American government back into our own hands.

Download or read book Digital Era Governance written by Patrick Dunleavy and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-06-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government information systems are big business (costing over 1 per cent of GDP a year). They are critical to all aspects of public policy and governmental operations. Governments spend billions on them - for instance, the UK alone commits £14 billion a year to public sector IT operations. Yet governments do not generally develop or run their own systems, instead relying on private sector computer services providers to run large, long-run contracts to provide IT. Some of the biggest companies in the world (IBM, EDS, Lockheed Martin, etc) have made this a core market. The book shows how governments in some countries (the USA, Canada and Netherlands) have maintained much more effective policies than others (in the UK, Japan and Australia). It shows how public managers need to retain and develop their own IT expertise and to carefully maintain well-contested markets if they are to deliver value for money in their dealings with the very powerful global IT industry. This book describes how a critical aspect of the modern state is managed, or in some cases mismanaged. It will be vital reading for public managers, IT professionals, and business executives alike, as well as for students of modern government, business, and information studies.
