Book excerpt: "Apart from elected local authorities, there are almost 250 public service bodies operating at sub-national level in Ireland, Using data from a survey of these bodies conducted during 2006, this study provides an original analysis of the governance arrangements for these non-commercial local and regional organisations across a range of themes - including finance, policy, HR and accountability." "As well as presenting an account of the various types of local and regional organisation, the report also identifies the multiple relationships between them and central government. Comparisons are made with previous research conducted for the Committee for Public Management Research which considered the role of non-commercial bodies operating at national level (Research Report No. 6)." "Having examined in detail the current landscape of sub-national governance in Ireland, this report also presents recommendations for its future development across a number of corporate governance issues."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Europeanization and Territorial Politics in Small European Unitary States written by Sandrina Antunes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book addresses the impact of the European Union (EU) on subnational mobilization in small unitary states. Located at the intersection of contributions from the literatures on multilevel governance and Europeanization, this book offers a new theoretical framework to account for state rescaling processes in small unitary states. By means of a comparative analysis of eight small unitary states in Europe, this book shows that the impact of the EU on subnational mobilization is filtered through domestic mediating factors which can lead to three possible outcomes: decentralization, recentralization or no change. The book offers a balanced combination of analytical clarity and the richness of empirical accounts in a wide diversity of case studies. It sheds a new light on the ‘hybrid nature’ of the European polity and demonstrates that member state governments have remained the most important pieces of the European puzzle. Overall, it arrives at two conclusions: first, that we are witnessing a ‘transformation of the state’ rather than its demise; second, the notion of a ‘Europe of the Regions’ in small unitary states was no more than a ‘damp squib’. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal, Regional & Federal Studies.

Download or read book Europeanisation and new patterns of governance in Ireland written by Nicholas Rees and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To what extent did Europeanisation contribute to Ireland’s transformation from ‘poor relation’ to ‘peer idol’? This book examines how Europeanisation affected Irish policy-making and implementation and how Ireland maximised the policy opportunities arising from membership of the EU while preserving embedded patterns of political behaviour. It focuses on the complex interplay of European, domestic and global factors as the explanation for the changing character of the ‘Celtic Tiger’. The authors demonstrate that, although Europeanisation spurred significant institutional and policy change, domestic forces filtered those consequences while global factors induced further adaptation. By identifying and assessing the adaptational pressures in a range of policy areas the book establishes that, in tandem with the European dimension, domestic features and global developments were key determinants of change and harbingers of new patterns of governance.

Download or read book Managing Conflict of Interest in the Public Sector written by Howard Whitton and published by Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development. This book was released on 2005 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts of interest in both the public and private sectors have become a major matter of public concern world-wide. The OECD Guidelines define a conflict of interest as occurring when a public official has private-capacity interests which could improperly influence the performance of their official duties and responsibilities. However, identifying a specific conflict of interest in practice can be difficult. And resolving the conflicting interests appropriately in a particular case is something that most people find even more challenging. The Toolkit focuses on specific techniques, resources and strategies for: Identifying, managing and preventing conflict-of-interest situations more effectively; and Increasing integrity in official decision-making, which might be compromised by a conflict of interest. This Toolkit provides non-technical, practical help to enable officials to recognise problematic situations and help them to ensure that integrity and reputation are not compromised. The tools themselves are provided in generic form. They are based on examples of sound conflict-of-interest policy and practice drawn from various OECD member and non-member countries. They have been designed for adaptation to suit countries with different legal and administrative systems.
