Download or read book Governance Indicators written by Helmut K. Anheier and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2018 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As difficult as it might seem to define governance, it appears to be that much more difficult to measure it. Since the World Bank Institute launched the Worldwide Governance Indicators in the late 1990s, the governance indicators field has flourished and experienced significant advances in terms of methodology, data coverage and quality, and policy relevance. Other major initiatives have added to a momentum that propelled research on governance indicators seen in few other academic fields in the economic and social sciences. Given these developments and the prominence and policy relevance the field of governance indicator research has achieved, the time is ripe to take stock and ask what has been accomplished, what the shortcomings and potentials might be, and what steps present themselves as a way forward. This volume-- the fifth edition in an annual series tackling different aspects of governance around the world-- assesses what has been achieved, identifies strengths and weaknesses of current work, and points to issues that need to be tackled in order to advance the field, both in its academic importance as well as in its policy relevance. In short, the contributions to this volume explore the scope of existing governance indices and indicator frameworks, elaborate on current challenges in measuring and analysing governance, and consider how to overcome them.

Download or read book Smart Urban Mobility written by Michèle Finck and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book adds a critical perspective to the legal dialogue on the regulation of ‘smart urban mobility’. Mobility is one of the most visible sub-domains of the ‘smart city’, which has become shorthand for technological advances that influence how cities are structured, public services are fashioned, and citizens coexist. In the urban context, mobility has come under pressure due to a variety of different forces, such as the implementation of new business models (e.g. car and bicycle sharing), the proliferation of alternative methods of transportation (e.g. electric scooters), the emergence of new market players and stakeholders (e.g. internet and information technology companies), and advancements in computer science (in particular due to artificial intelligence). At the same time, demographic changes and the climate crisis increase innovation pressure. In this context law is a seminal factor that both shapes and is shaped by socio-economic and technological change. This book puts a spotlight on recent developments in smart urban mobility from a legal, regulatory, and policy perspective. It considers the implications for the public sector, businesses, and citizens in relation to various areas of public and private law in the European Union, including competition law, intellectual property law, contract law, data protection law, environmental law, public procurement law, and legal philosophy. Chapter 'Location Data as Contractual Counter-Performance: A Consumer Perspective on Recent EU Legislation' of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at link.springer.com.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book examines the ever-increasing prevalence of Central Purchasing Bodies (CPBs), analysing their use and structure across different EU Member States. It argues that since CPBs are only partially regulated at EU level, their operations will depend on the legislation of the individual Member States and more importantly on the States’ distinct practices and traditions. Comparative contributions consider the legal nature and structures of CPBs across 12 Member States and the UK.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Failure to comply with public procurement rules has been a perennial and significant source of error in EU cohesion expenditure. Serious errors resulted in a lack, or complete absence, of fair competition and/or in the award of contracts to those who were not the best bidders.

Download or read book Public Procurement written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this guidance is to help public procurement practitioners in contracting authorities in Member States avoid the most commonly seen errors when procuring works, services or supplies involving co-financing from the European Structural and Investment (ESI) Funds. Errors in applying public procurement rules are the single largest source of irregularities detected by national and EU auditors when checking how EU grant funds have been spent. Depending on the seriousness of the error, this can lead to financial corrections of up to 100 % of the grant amount, potentially causing severe problems for public budgets. The European Commission is committed to assisting Member States to achieve the sound management of the ESI Funds through feedback and the dissemination of guidance documents, leading to reduced error rates. The present guidance captures lessons from audits over many years examining how public procurement rules have been applied in practice. The guidance is designed to assist procurement practitioners at different levels of local and national public administrations running public tenders involving EU funds. It highlights where mistakes commonly occur and what can be done to avoid them, particularly the critical role of pre-procurement planning. The guidance should also be of assistance to managing authorities of programmes supported by the ESI Funds' with front line responsibility for verifying that public procurement rules are complied with in all EU co-financed projects.
