— y.

Eighteen leading international scholars evaluate public administration`s historical development and explore the significance and value trends in public administration from a variety of cutting-edge theoretical and practical perspectives.

Rethinking Bank Regulation: Till Angels Govern (+ CD-ROM)

2006 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: Banking systems are important not only for countries` finances but also to help spur economic growth. This volume presents and discusses a new database on bank regulation in more than 150 countries. It offers the first comprehensive cross-country assessment of the impact of bank regulation on the operation of banks and assesses the validity of the Basel Committee`s influential approach to bank regulation. Also provided is an empirical evaluation of the historic debate about the proper role of government in the economy by studying bank regulation and analyzing the role of politics in determining regulatory approaches to banking. A key finding is that societies that emphasize market-based monitoring of banks enjoy superior outcomes along a range of criteria. Viewing the reform of bank regulation and supervision as a narrow technical issue is risky because the impact of bank regulation reflects host countries` complex economic and political institutions. In contrast to this, the approach… [detailed...]

Rethinking Corporate Crime (Law in Context)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis unique work provides a detailed critique of the current criminal law system as it applies to corporate wrongdoing. It assesses the potential for the legal control of corporate criminality as informed by insights gleaned from an understanding of why such crimes occur. The authors also advance the theory that such crimes should be viewed as a failure by the company to manage its business operations and a failure to have an effective risk management system in place. Corporate crime features on various undergraduate and postgraduate criminology and criminal justice courses across the country, which makes this specialist text highly appropriate for law and criminology students. It is also an insightful text appropriate for a wider academic audience and discusses the legal, sociological and criminological dimensions of corporate crime in detail. Corporate criminal responsibility is a very contemporary topic, covered in fine detail within this work. [detailed...]

Rethinking Corporate Security in the Post 9-11 Era

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 changed the way the world thinks about security. Everyday citizens learned how national security, international politics, and the economy are inextricably linked to business continuity and corporate security. Corporate leaders were reminded that the security of business, intellectual, and human assets has a tremendous impact on an organization`s long-term viability. In Rethinking Corporate Security , Fortune 500 consultant Dennis Dalton helps security directors, CEOs, and business managers understand the fundamental role of security in today`s business environment and outlines the steps to protect against corporate loss. He draws on the insights of such leaders as Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Charles Schwab, and Tom Peters in this unique review of security`s evolving role and the development of a new management paradigm. * If you truly wish to improve your own skills, and the effectiveness of… [detailed...]

Rethinking Development Economics (Anthem Studies in Political Economy and Globalization)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This important new collection tackles the failure of neoliberal reform to generate long-term growth and reduce poverty in many developing and transition economies. As dramatically demonstrated in the collapse of the WTO?s Seattle talks, there isincreasing dissatisfaction, in both developing and developed countries, with the emerging neoliberal global economic order. The resignations of Joseph Stiglitz and Ravi Kanbur from the World Bank emphasize that this disillusionment with the orthodoxy nowexists at the very heart of the establishment. Yet the increasing demand for an alternative to this orthodoxy is not being met. Over the last few decades, the older generation of development economists have been edged out of most major universities,particularly in the USA. The situation in most developing countries is even worse: although there is more demand for alternatives to orthodox development economics, these countries have even less capability to generate such alternatives….

Rethinking Development Theory and Policy

Description: For many decades post-colonial leaders in developing countries have tried various development plans based on orthodox development thinking and theorizing. Yet the developing world has failed to achieve sustained human-centered development. Many of the development plans have failed or been abandoned. Why does the developing world run the risk of falling behind their previously attained standards of living? This book takes a detailed look at the key paradigms of orthodox development thinking, discusses thevarious theories about economic growth, and concludes that the myths of orthodox development thinking regarding the origins of and obstacles to economic growth and human factor decay are the cause of economic underdevelopment in developing countries.

Rethinking Development in Latin America

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Understanding development in Latin America today requires both an awareness of the major political and economic changes that have produced a new agenda for social policy in the region and an appreciation of the need to devise better conceptual and methodological tools for analyzing the social impacts of these changes. Using as a reference point the issues and theories that dominated social science research on Latin America in the period 1960-80, this volume contributes to `rethinking development` by examining the historical events that accounted for the erosion or demise of once-dominant paradigms and by assessing the new directions of research that have emerged in their place. Following the editors` overview of the new conceptual and social agendas in their Introduction, the book proceeds with a review of previous broad conceptual approaches by Alejandro Portes, who emphasizes by contrast the advantages of newer `middle-range` theories. Subsequent chapters focus on changes in… [detailed...]

Rethinking Development: Putting an End to Poverty

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: If major prospects of progress are to be opened up for human beings, and if the struggle against multidimensional poverty is to be successfully waged throughout the world, the `current programs of action` are not sufficient, nor is a reliance on `globalization.` As the United Nations Development Programme points out, globalization, which is subject to the `pitiless markets,` threatens solidarity, which is the `invisible heart of human development.` Rather, according to Henri Bartoli in his hard-hitting new book, a new paradigm must be defined and new strategies must be proposed. Rules, institutions and procedures must be invented which will strengthen the governance and governability of the economy at global, regional and local levels-a radical renewal of economic thinking on which all efforts to rationalize are based.

Rethinking Domestic Violence

2007 y.
Publisher: UBC Press
Description: Rethinking Domestic Violence reviews research in the area of intimate partner violence. The research crosses disciplinary lines, including social and clinical psychology, sociology, psychiatry, criminology, and criminal justice research. Since the area of intimate partner violence is so heavily politicized, Dutton tries to steer through conflicting claims by assessing the best research methodology. As a result, he comes to some new conclusions about intimate partner violence. After 20 years of viewing intimate partner violence as generated by gender and focusing on a punitive `law and order` approach, Dutton now argues that this approach must be more varied and flexible. Treatment providers, criminal justice systems personnel, lawyers, and researchers have indicated the need for a new view of the problem—one less invested in gender politics and more open to collaborative views and interdisciplinary insights.

Description: Treating the market economy as a complex adaptive system offers a better explanation of how it works than does the mechanical analogy of neoclassical equilibrium theory. The nonlinear interactions of millions of individual human beings, coupled withthe influence of chance, result in the emergence of markets. Other regularities emerge in the patterns of economic growth, business cycles and in spatial location of economic activity. The approach is shown to be congruent with Classical and Austrian theories and provides an opportunity for a unified social science. [detailed...]

Rethinking Europe`s Future.

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Rethinking Europe`s Future is a major reevaluation of Europe`s prospects as it enters the twenty-first century. David Calleo has written a book worthy of the complexity and grandeur of the challenges Europe now faces. Summoning the insights of history, political economy, and philosophy, he explains why Europe was for a long time the world`s greatest problem and how the Cold War`s bipolar partition brought stability of a sort. Without the Cold War, Europe risks revisiting its more traditional history. With so many contingent factors--in particular Russia and Europe`s Muslim neighbors--no one, Calleo believes, can pretend to predict the future with assurance. Calleo`s book ponders how to think about this future. The book begins by considering the rival ``lessons`` and trends that emerge from Europe`s deeper past. It goes on to discuss the theories for managing the traditional state system, the transition from autocratic states to communitarian nation states, the enduring… [detailed...]

Rethinking Growth Strategies: How State and Local Taxes and Services Affect Economic Development

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOver the past few decades, nearly every state and local government has expanded efforts to promote economic development. One increasingly popular, but often misguided, technique for encouraging firm investment is the use of state and local tax cuts and tax incentives to lure businesses. However, the evidence presented in Rethinking Growth shows that state and local tax incentives typically fail to draw firms to a particular location, substantially improve local economic development, or stimulate job creation in a cost-effective manner. In fact, a more successful path for local economic development and swaying firms? location decisions may involve raising taxes in order to better provide essential public services such as quality schools, transportation, and health care. This analysis of the existing research regarding state and local tax cuts and tax incentives provides conclusive evidence that taxes are not just burdens, but rather provide the necessary… [detailed...]
