Policy Reform and Equity: Extending the Benefits of Development : A Sequoia Seminar

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Policy reform was the central theme in the development economics of the 1980s. Making it so was the patent failure of internationally aided government-driven economies to foster development -- anywhere -- in the Third World. But as the desire to reformgovernment policies for enabling market-driven economic growth was being reborn, so was the fear that many of the poorest of the poor would be even worse off in consequence. Though free markets can guarantee increased opportunities for all, they cannot,inherently, guarantee any particular results for any particular person. The latter requires coercive authority, and impersonal markets are predicated on consent. So, the challenge was/is to design and accomplish policy reforms that would effect the transition from state-driven to market-driven economies while simultaneously improving the living standards of all citizens, including the poorest. The theme resounds in the 1990s even where it may not prevail throughout the former Soviet… [detailed...]

Policy and Politics in Sweden: Principled Pragmatism (Policy and Politics in Industrial States)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sweden is a country of paradoxes. Renowned for its liberal social welfare programs and pluralistic cooperation, its government is also characterized by rigid and highly structured behavior. In this volume of the Policy and Politics series, Hugh Heclo andHenrik Madsen explore the contradictions that Sweden represents, its unique blend of innovation and conservatism, and the qualities that define `The Swedish Way.` In describing the workings of the Swedish government, several factors must be considered: social democratic hegemony, structured consultation, and corporate representation. Respectively these terms refer to the predominant leadership and ideology of the Social Democratic party, the ritualistic forms of representing all factions, and the organized representation of any social group with an individual interest. Heclo and Madsen examine what they call `The Swedish Way` and analyze how these attributes fit into policymaking behavior. Characterizing the Swedes as… [detailed...]

Policy-Making and Diversity in Europe: Escaping Deadlock (Theories of Institutional Design)

Publisher: —
Description: Policy-Making and Diversity in Europe examines the European Union and its policy-making processes. In particular, it asks how an institution that is so riddled with veto points manages to be such an active policy maker. Heritier argues that the diversity of actors` interests and the need for consensus in European institutions would almost inevitably lead to deadlock, were it not for the existence of creative informal strategies and policy-making patterns. Termed by the author `subterfuge,` these strategies prevent political impasses and `make Europe work.` [detailed...]

Description: This book was written for students of policy science and analysts with policymaking responsibilities who want to understand how to solve social and ecological problems with an integrated systems approach.

The author has designed a unique methodology – the social fabric matrix (SFM) – that encourages relevant questions, defines and models a whole that transcends system components and describes their relationships, includes cultural values, social beliefs, and institutional rules, identifies system feedback loops, guides the development of social indicators and builds a database for statistical analysis, coordinates temporal sequences, compares the consequences of alternative policies, and includes the ability to relate research to the broader reality of political action… [detailed...]

Policymaking in Japan: Defining the Role of Politicians

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The struggle between politicians and bureaucrats for control over public policy decision making is an important feature of politics in all advanced democratic political systems. It has a particular intensity in Japan, especially now with the bureaucracy under attack for its policy failures and its resistance to reform and with the political party system going through a period of fundamental change. Japan is in the midst of the search for a new framework for policymaking, a search that involves not only the relationship between politicians and bureaucrats but that between the Prime Minister`s Office and the governing party organizations, the role of Diet committees, and the issue of staff support for politicians, parties, and the prime minister and cabinet. Following an overview written by volume editor Gerald L. Curtis, this book offers the perspective of six politicians from the Liberal Democratic, Democratic, and New Komeito parties who represent a new generation of politicians… [detailed...]

Political Change and Consolidation: Democracy`s Rocky Road in Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, and Malaysia

Description: In the immediate aftermath of the 1997-98 Asian financial crisis, several countries went through political transformations. Indonesia, South Korea, and Thailand all underwent political reform and democratization. Malaysia, although also hit by the financil crisis, remained authoritarian. Is there a connection between economic crises and political change? Once the crisis abates do changes stick? Why did political reform happen in some places and not in Malaysia? Several factors are useful in explaining thevariation in political transitions: IMF involvement, popular protests, the nature of political opposition, and elite alliances at the highest levels of government all help determine the success or failure of democratization efforts.

Political Communication and Deliberation

2008 y.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Description: The act of deliberation is the act of reflecting carefully on a matter and weighing the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions to a problem. It aims to arrive at a decision or judgment based not only on facts and data but also on values, emotions, and other less technical considerations. Though a solitary individual can deliberate, it more commonly means making decisions together, as a small group, an organization, or a nation. `Political Communication and Deliberation` takes a unique approach to the field of political communication by viewing key concepts and research through the lens of deliberative democratic theory. This is the first text to argue that communication is central to democratic self-governance primarily because of its potential to facilitate public deliberation. Thus, it offers political communication instructors a new perspective on familiar topics, and it provides those teaching courses on political deliberation with their first central textbook. This… [detailed...]

Political Competition, Innovation And Growth In The History Of Asian Civilizations

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDo political decentralization and inter state competition favor innovation and growth? There has long been a lively debate surrounding this question, going back to David Hume and Immanuel Kant. This book is a new attempt to test its veracity. The existing literature tends to assume that the beneficial effects of inter state competition have been confined to European history. By contrast, China, India and the Islamic Middle East are regarded as inherently imperial and overcentralized. However, these civilizations have not always been unified politically. In their history, there have been long spells of decentralized rule or inter state competition. The same is true for Japan. If the Hume-Kant hypothesis is correct, it should also apply tothose periods. This volume analyzes the qualitative and quantitative evidence. The authors comprise eminent historians, sociologists, economists and socio-psychologists and the resulting book is a truly interdisciplinary enterprise…. [detailed...]

Political Conflict &, Development: East Asian and Latin American Experiences (Routledge Studies in Development and Society)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Comparisons of East Asian and Latin American development frequently attribute the success of the former and the failure of the latter to differences in policies and institutions. Political Conflict and Development in East Asia and Latin America takes issue with such a view by subjecting the conventional policy and institutional attributes to vigorous case-to-case comparison across the two regions. The analysis in this book rests upon a chain of reasoning which starts with policy, argues back to the institutions that shape policy, and then to the forces that fashion the institutions. This last link in the chain is conspicuously absent in the literature but is critical to our understanding. The book shows how the range of institutions associated with development in East Asia and Latin America are deeply rooted in particular economic political and social settings that govern how they work. The book directly challenges the dominant view that development can be… [detailed...]
