Download or read book Moving Beyond the Crisis Reclaiming and Reaffirming our Common Administrative Space written by Demetrios Argyriades and published by Primento. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the financial meltdown and the economic crisis in their fifth year already no one can any longer be in doubt about their exceptional gravity, their truly global impact and their profound effects hurting vulnerable groups and the very poor especially. As the world looks for an exit from this economic crisis – the worst in eight decades – the focus of attention is naturally on the causes, the factors that account for its wide reach and severity, as well as on strategies that might bring it to a closure. The quest for exit strategies is at the very centre of the issues and concerns explored in the present volume, produced by the IIAS. Like the preceding volumes, but even more emphatically, this volume, representing a collective endeavour of scholars and practitioners from many parts of the globe, finds cause to lay the blame, for our difficult predicament, on the institutional deficit, the policies, the practices and values that have followed in the trail of a highly misleading and erroneous model of governance. The «Market Model of Governance» as it is known, sought to reform, the structures and culture of administration and government in private sector ways. While instrumental values like efficiency and effectiveness were raised and praised profusely, those of democratic governance were discounted by comparison. In particular, integrity, the rule of law and due process, equity, legality and public service professionalism suffered a steep decline, in several parts of the world. Likewise, the invasion and the capture of public space, inevitably led to an unprecedented surge of greed, abuse and corruption that contributed directly to the crisis which is upon us. Looking for exit strategies, as its title aptly suggests, the present volume offers a rich menu of ideas drawn from the current experience of all the world ́s main regions. Not surprisingly, two concepts stand out throughout the book as necessary correctives, as well as pressing remedies to the world ́s ongoing malaise. They call for the recapture of our common administrative space and the reaffirmation of the values and virtues appropriate for democratic governance. To the IIAS, none perhaps are more important than public service professionalism and none other can contribute more effectively to the reform and consolidation of sound institutions for national, sub national, global and regional governance. For these reasons, at this juncture, the new volume like the others should be featured in every public library and become a vademecum of all scholars and practitioners of public administration and politics around the world.

Download or read book Gestion des ressources humaines dans la Fonction publique written by Frédéric Colin and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A propos de l'ouvrage La gestion des ressources humaines (GRH), au-delà du respect nécessaire et préalable des règles de droit par tous les agents publics, implique la référence à la qualité et à la performance dans la fonction publique. Pour la " fonction publique à la française ", il s'agit de passer d'une conception homogène de personnes chargées d'appliquer des textes normatifs, à une vision plus hétérogène d'agents dotés de spécificités propres, avec des fonctions très individualisées et garants de l'efficacité de l'action publique. Ce mouvement, en cours, interroge à la fois la structure de la fonction publique et ses finalités. La GRH permet donc d'interroger les contraintes spécifiques à la fonction publique. Parmi elles, figurent notamment : l'accomplissement d'une mission de service public, l'accès à l'emploi public, la stabilité du lien professionnel via la titularisation. La GRH offre enfin des perspectives d'amélioration dans l'accomplissement des missions des agents publics (efficience par exemple), et dans la mise en oeuvre de leurs droits et obligations : parcours professionnel, participation.

Download or read book Minority Nations in Multinational Federations written by Min Reuchamps and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multinational federations rest on the coexistence of two or more nations within a single polity. Within these federations, minority nations play a significant role as their character differs from the other building blocks of the federation. This edited volume offers a comprehensive comparison of two such minority nations - Quebec in Canada and Wallonia in Belgium - which exemplifies many dimensions, themes and issues highly resonant to the study of federalism and regionalism across the globe. Quebec and Wallonia have experienced several decades of federal dynamics where both regions have had to find their way as a minority nation in a multinational federation. For those studying federalism and regionalism their importance lies in a number of characteristics, but principally in the fact of these minority nations have transformed into mini-states with fully fledged legislative powers within their federation. This book seeks to study the specific dynamics within these small worlds and between them and the rest of the federation. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of federalism, nationalism and regionalism, comparative politics and policies, political ideas and social movements.
