Transforming Foreign Aid: United States Assistance in the 21st Century

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The phenomenon of foreign aid began at the end of World War II and has survived the Cold War. How should the United States now spend its foreign aid to support its interests and values in the new century? In this study, Carol Lancaster takes a fresh lookat all US foreign aid programs and asks whether their purposes, organization and management are appropriate to US interests and values in the world of the 21st century. Lancaster finds that US aid in the new century, if it is to be an effective tool of US foreign policy, needs to be transformed. Its purposes need to be refocused and its organization and management brought into line with those purposes. Those purposes include support for peace-making, addressing transnational issues, providing for humane concerns and responding to humanitarian emergencies. Traditional programs aimed at promoting development, democracy and economic and political transitions in former socialist countries will not disappear but they will have less… [detailed...]

Transforming IT: A Five-Step Plan for Adopting a Service-Centric IT Model

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The nature of IT (information technology) is changing, and changing fast. IT is an increasingly powerful means by which organizations can grow and gain competitive advantage in the marketplace. Yet most organizations struggle to meet the challenges associated with this opportunity. IT leaders typically describe their current situation as being over subscribed, under budgeted, and under constant pressure just to keep the lights on. But these are just symptoms of an underlying condition: IT is simply not structured to deliver its services in a way that s aligned with how the business itself delivers services. In Transforming IT: A Five-Step Plan for Adopting a Service-Centric IT Model, the authors lay out a common sense approach for transforming IT so that it can position itself as a strategic contributor to business innovation. They focus on pragmatic ways to drive lasting change in IT to move the business strategy forward. [detailed...]

Transforming International Criminal Justice: Retributive and Restorative Justice in the Trial Process

2005 y.
Publisher: Willan Publishing
Description: This book sets out an agenda to transform international criminal trials and the delivery of international criminal justice to victim communities. It reflects a transformation of thinking about the comparative analysis of the trial process, and seeks to advance the boundaries of international criminal justice through wider access and inclusivity in an environment of rights protection. Its radical dimension is its argument for the harmonization of restorative and retributive justice within the international criminal trial. The book focuses initially on the trial process, a key symbol of developing international models of justice. It examines theoretical models and political applications of criminal justice through detailed empirical analysis, in order to explore the underlying relationship of theory and empirical study, applying the outcome in theory testing and policy evaluation in several different jurisdictions. The book injects a significant comparative dimension into the study of… [detailed...]

Description: Although the new millennium requires leaders to engage followers actively in the change process, many leaders seem reluctant to embrace modern methods of transforming leadership despite evidence of their effectiveness. To facilitate the transition to more collaborative forms of leadership, this study used meta-analysis, a research method useful for combining the quantitative findings of a number of primary research studies to produce a more powerful statistical measure, to examine the impact of leaders who use modern styles of leadership, characterized as visionary, charismatic, or transformational, to motivate their followers to achieve higher levels of performance and job satisfaction. The findings support the effectiveness of transforming leadership in comparison to more traditional leadership styles. [detailed...]

Transforming the Character of Public Organizations: Techniques for Chnage Agents

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom her own experience in various agencies and organizations, Dr. Rusaw knows that to inspire change in any organization and particularly in the public sector, change agents must understand that change is primarily collective, nonrational, and nonlinear. People who seek to create change cannot stand apart from the problems, issues, and concerns raised by their constituents, but must merge themselves into the data-making, analysis, and diagnosis phases of consulting. The agent must, in other words, participate actively in creating change--and how the agent must do this, why, and the effects the agent can expect are the subjects of Dr. Rusaw`s book. Few books discuss public sector change in the way Dr. Rusaw does here, and none incorporatethe phenomenological perspective that she uses. Her book will appeal to practicing public administrators who seek real-life examples presented in conversational language. It will also be important for teachers and students in public… [detailed...]
