Governing Interests: Business Associations Facing Internationalization (Routledge Studies in International Business and the World Economy)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The conceptual and empirical papers included in this significant volume come together to address the question of how interaction between business associations and government is affected by Europeanization and globalization. Whilst some papers adopt a bird`s eye view, others concentrate on individual industries or countries, and several, through examination and analysis, consider the effects on interest representation and the repercussions on effective governance. Contributed to and edited by leading academics, the diversity of research questions and methods used provide the reader with an excellent understanding of the subject, and importantly, caution against rash simplifications. This text will be of particular relevance to political scientists and sociologists. [detailed...]

Governing Mandatory Health Insurance: Learning from Experience

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mandatory health insurance schemes are being proposed or expanded in many developing countries, but with relatively little attention to how they should be governed. This book considers how five dimensions of governance-coherent decision-making structures, stakeholder participation, transparency and information, supervision and regulation, and consistency and stability-influence the coverage, financial protection, and efficiency of mandatory health insurance entities. It also looks at the institutional and political forces that affect the behavior of such entities within their social and historical context. It addresses these issues by analyzing experiences from four countries--Chile, Costa Rica, Estonia, and the Netherlands-and develops lessons for developing countries related to these important dimensions of governance, paying special attention to questions of assuring solvency, financial protection, and quality health care services.

Governing Nonprofit Organizations: Federal and State Law and Regulation

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The nonprofit sector is a vital component of our society and is allowed the greatest freedom to operate. The public understandably assumes that since nonprofit organizations are established to do good, the people who run nonprofits are altruistic, and the laws governing nonprofits have reflected this assumption. But as Marion Fremont-Smith argues, the rules that govern how nonprofits operate are inadequate, and the regulatory mechanisms designed to enforce the rules need improvement. Despite repeated instances of negligent management, self-interest at the expense of the charity, and outright fraud, nonprofits continue to receive minimal government regulation. In this time of increased demand for corporate accountability, the need to strengthen regulation of nonprofits is obvious. Fremont-Smith addresses this need from a historical, legal, and organizational perspective. She combines summaries and analysis of the substantive legal rules governing the behavior of charitable… [detailed...]

Governing Pleasures

2002 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This work is a historicaccount of the production, distribution, and consumption of pornography in Great Britain from the early 19th century to the turn of the 20th century. It examines how pornography changed over time as a cultural and symbolic object i British society, and asks: What was considered pornographic? Who looked at pornography and read it? What sorts of messages did this medium transmit to both men and women? What was its thematic content, who controlled it, and how did these messages affectsexual and social dynamics? In contrast to recent ahistorical feminist assertions that pornography necessarily teaches men how to oppress women, this work views the use of pornography through the lens of historical and social change. In a careful analysis it shows the cultural complexities of the medium and links Victorian pornography to other areas such as language, science, consumerism, and politics. [detailed...]

Governing Telecommunications and the New Information Society in Europe

2002 y.
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
Description: European countries have recently been involved in an extremely broad set of regulatory changes to introduce competitive markets into the area of telecommunications. New policies to develop the information society in Europe are also emerging, taking into account the changes in regulations. The contributions included in this book examine several dimensions of these major European issues, including multi-level governance, the instruments used to produce these policy changes, and the European idiosyncrasies of globalization trends. The authors debate the successes and failures of European strategies and policies engaged to foster the new IT-based economic revolution, and European multilevel policy-making is discussed from the perspective of linking telecommunications policy to the promotion of an information society in Europe. The main policy instruments used by the European Union to advocate this new information society are reviewed, and a retrospective analysis of the 1990s… [detailed...]

Governing With the News, Second Edition : The News Media as a Political Institution (Studies in Communication, Media, and Public Opinion)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The ideal of a neutral, objective press has proven in recent years to be just that--an ideal. In Governing with the News, Timothy E. Cook goes far beyond the single claim that the press is not impartial to argue that the news media are in fact a political institution integral to the day-to-day operations of our government. This updated edition includes a new afterword by the author, which pays close attention to two key developments in the twenty-first century: the accelerating fragmentation of the mass media and the continuing decline of Americans` confidence in the press. `Provocative and often wise. . . . Cook, who has a complex understanding of the relationship between governing and the news, provides a fascinating accountof the origins of this complicity.`--James Bennet, Washington Monthly `[Governing with the News] addresses central issues of media impact and power in fresh, illuminating ways. . . .

Description: Cities play a growing role in governing. This new role fits within a context that nation-states, global market forces and cities themselves continue to define. The analysis of this book focuses on how local efforts in the distinct European systems of France and Germany as well as American counterparts have provided for environmental quality and social inclusion alongside local economic development. Only in certain European settings has policy making at multiple levels accomplished all three objectivesat once. In those settings, effective governance from below has relied on adequate support from higher levels of governments and a favorable position in the global economy. [detailed...]

It suggests that prevailing theories of regional co-operation in the Asia Pacific fail to pay due heed to the manner in which regional integration is rooted in domestic coalitions, and economic strategies and state forms that prevailed in the boom years of the `Asian Miracle`. It goes on to argue that the collapse of the developmentalist project has given way to the new regulatory state which in turn spawns new forms of regulatory regionalism that place a heavy accent on policy co-ordination and harmonization.

Governing the Economy: The Politics of State Intervention in Britain and France (Europe &, the International Order)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: For over one hundred years, the British economy has been in decline relative to other industrialized countries. This book explores the origins of Britain`s economic problems and develops a striking new argument about the sources of decline. It goes on to analyze the evolution of economic policy in postwar Britain from the development of Keynesianism to the rise of monetarism under Margaret Thatcher. France, by contrast, experienced an economic miracle in the postwar period. Hall argues that the French state transformed itself and then its society through an extensive system of state intervention. In the recent period, however, the French system has encountered many difficulties, and the book locates their sources in the complex interaction between state and society in France culminating in the socialist experiment of Francois Mitterrand. Through his insightful, comparative examination of policy-making in Britain and France, Hall develops a new approach to state-society relations… [detailed...]

Governing the Market: Economic Theory and the Role of Government in East Asian Industrialization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Published originally in 1990 to critical acclaim, Robert Wade`s Governing the Market quickly established itself as a standard in contemporary political economy. In it, Wade challenged claims both of those who saw the East Asian story as a vindication of free market principles and of those who attributed the success of Taiwan and other countries to government intervention. Instead, Wade turned attention to the way allocation decisions were divided between markets and public administration and the synergy between them. Now, in a new introduction to this paperback edition, Wade reviews the debate about industrial policy in East and Southeast Asia and chronicles the changing fortunes of these economies over the 1990s. He extends the original argument to explain the boom of the first half of the decade and the crash of the second, stressing the links between corporations, banks, governments, international capital markets, and the International Monetary Fund. From this, Wade goes… [detailed...]

Governing the Modern Corporation: Capital Markets, Corporate Control, and Economic Performance

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Nearly seventy years after the last great stock market bubble and crash, another bubble emerged and burst, despite a thick layer of regulation designed since the 1930s to prevent such things. This time the bubble was enormous, reflecting nearly twenty yers of double-digit stock market growth, and its bursting had painful consequence. The search for culprits soon began, and many were discovered, including not only a number of overreaching corporations, but also their auditors, investment bankers, lawyes and indeed, their investors. In Governing the Modern Corporation, Smith and Walter analyze the structure of market capitalism to see what went wrong. They begin by examining the developments that have made modern financial markets--now capitalize globally at about $70 trillion--so enormous, so volatile and such a source of wealth (and temptation) for all players. Then they report on the evolving role and function of the business corporation, the duties of its officers and… [detailed...]
