Book The Patronage System and Office Culture

Download or read book The Patronage System and Office Culture written by Malis Uon Men and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cambodia has been politically bedeviled by pervasive patronage, and the power-money-morality relations are at issue. Patronage politics has crippled the performance of government in terms of serving the public interest. Pervasive patronage must be put on the political agenda in order to find ways to limit or reduce its powers. Cambodia urgently needs to professionalize public bodies by creating special classes and drawing a baseline on the one hand for legitimate and legal public appointments, and on the other hand purifying the merit-based public employment. A strong political will and intention to deal with patronage, based on commitment to noble ends, remains the prerequisite for Cambodia's civil service. This also necessitates tightening an independent system of checks and balances in an effort to prevent the misuse of power of the executive branch, and to convince it to cooperate with the legislative and judicial branches in serving the public. Also, cooperative efforts of the media and academic institutions must be a necessity, not an option. The following work might offer a basis for argument for those interested in the patronage system in Cambodia.

  • ISBN : 9780874138962
  • Pages : 388 pages

Download or read book Cultures of Whiggism written by David Womersley and published by University of Delaware Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the preface to his edition of Shakespeare, Alexander Pope noted that his age was one of Parties, both in Wit and State. Much scholarship has been devoted to the complexities of the political parties of the eighteenth century, but there has been a surprising reluctance to explore what Pope implied were the corollaries of those parties, namely, parties in literature. The essays collected here explore the literary culture that arose from and supported what Pitt the Elder referred to as the great spirit of Whiggism that animated English politics during the eighteenth century. From the prehistory of Whiggism in the court of Charles II to the fractures opened up within it by the French Revolution in the 1790s, the interactions between Whiggish politics and literature are sampled and described in groundbreaking essays that range widely across the fields of eighteenth-century political prose, poetry, and the novel.

Book Patronage and Community in Medieval China

Download or read book Patronage and Community in Medieval China written by Andrew Chittick and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length treatment of a provincial military society in China's early medieval period offers a vivid portrait of this milieu and invites readers to reevaluate their understanding of a critical period in Chinese history. Drawing on poetry, local history, archaeology, and Buddhist materials, as well as more traditional historical sources, Andrew Chittick explores the culture and interrelationships of the leading figures of the Xiangyang region (in the north of modern Hubei province) in the centuries leading up to the Sui unification. Using the model of patron-client relations to characterize the interactions between local men and representatives of the southern court at Jiankang, the book emphasizes the way in which these interactions were shaped by personal ties and cultural and status differences. The result is a compelling explanation for the shifting, unstable, and violent nature of the political and military system of the southern dynasties. Offering a wider perspective which considers the social world beyond the capital elite, the book challenges earlier conceptions of medieval society as "aristocratic" and rooted in family lineage and officeholding. Andrew Chittick is E. Leslie Peter Associate Professor of East Asian Humanities at Eckerd College.

Book Shakespeare and Theatrical Patronage in Early Modern England

Download or read book Shakespeare and Theatrical Patronage in Early Modern England written by Paul Whitfield White and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-12-14 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past quarter of a century, the study of patronage-theatre relations in early modern England has developed considerably. This, however, is an extensive, wide-ranging and representative 2002 study of patronage as it relates to Shakespeare and the theatrical culture of his time. Twelve distinguished theatre historians address such questions as: What important functions did patronage have for the theatre during this period? How, in turn, did the theatre impact and represent patronage? Where do paying spectators and purchasers of printed drama fit into the discussion of patronage? The authors also show how patronage practices changed and developed from the early Tudor period to the years in which Shakespeare was the English theatre's leading artist. This important book will appeal to scholars of Renaissance social history as well as those who focus on Shakespeare and his playwriting contemporaries.
