1 Introduction Non-Governmental Organizations or NGOs have become influential actors of societal development and change on a national as well as international scale. Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s. Although most people understand what an NGO is - the name itself makes it very clear that these are organizations that are not government run – there is little consensus on what may be described as key characteristics of an ...

In the history of political thought and democracy building, there is an inconsistency between citizen’s voting for a candidate or party and his/hers final satisfaction with a progress of the chosen candidate or party. In practice, this inconsistency corresponds to a continuous criticism of ruling government and desire to change it for the former one or an entirely different. In political theory, this phenomenon gained its implementation in a concept of political efficacy. The essence of the term “political efficacy” refers to citizens’ perception of their influence on government and how much trust in authorities and policies they have. In the context ...

Abstract

The accountability of officials in public sector is a vital problem, as the availability of funds allocated among various public agencies and power abuse possibilities may create a dangerous environment breeding corruption. To avoid the erosion of the state apparatus, societies and citizens participate in governmental control through various forms of accountability and its initiatives. Democracy, the elimination of corruption and money mismanagement, the enhancement of state public sector efficiency, and the establishment of transparency are the undeniable benefits of public officials’ accountability. However, even the most well developed forms of accountability are far from flawless. Depending on a country, these approaches ...

The Economist (2010) in one of their issues pointed out ‘there is a need for a reinforced central government model, different from any authoritarian or imperative model of the past.’ The global economic crisis revealed to the world that not only markets are subject to downturns, but also public sector. In times of instability government represents the last resort of confidence for its nation. People want to believe that no matter what happens outside of the administrative walls, the political system is solid. Still, the financial crisis did significantly affect public sector as budgets were cut out. It caused negative response ...

Fiscal policy is the governmental instrument or program, which aims to stabilize economic situation and to improve economic health of the country. It usually deals with the purchase of goods and services as well as with the transfer payments in the country. Therefore, it influences the type and the level of taxes, optimal for the economy. Governmental intervention through fiscal policy usually aims to affect unemployment level, economic output and the level of prices in the economy. If there is a fiscal surplus (the revenues exceed expenditures) or the level of deficit is decreasing, compared to the previous periods, fiscal ...

A Military Coup for the Wrong Reason

Looking at the history of human civilisation, one can understand that there were more wars then times of peace and diplomacy. Nations and people can be in various forms of confrontation with one another, but one of the most curious and specific is the civil war. When someone is asked about perception of civil war the answer would often be that it has something to do with national uprising against undemocratic government or military coup against the existing legitimate government, when civilian population is involved one of the sides or simply in-between. In most of the cases, this way ...

Introduction

Along with health- and welfare-related rights, the right to housing is one of crucial human rights. Thus homelessness represents an important human rights and social concern. According to the definition by the UN Economic Commission for Europe Conference of European Statisticians, homelessness can be viewed either as primary state (rooflessness or the case of persons, living in the streets) or a secondary one (the case of persons with no place of usual residence, who often move between different types of temporary accommodation) (UN Economic and Social Council 3). In the US homelessness is viewed in broader terms. According to the ...

Street-level bureaucrats

When Michael Lipsky refers to street-level bureaucracy or a street-level bureaucrat, he is referring to an individual who is, essentially, the enforcer for a bureaucratic agency-- those individuals who are hired to enforce actions and laws put into place to govern people. Lipsky uses individuals like police and social workers as examples of street-level bureaucrats (Shafritz, Russell and Borick). These individuals, according to Lipsky, vary the levels to which they implement the laws and regulations assigned to them. For instance, a police officer may let one individual off with a warning for speeding, although technically that officer should have given a ticket to the ...

Analysis of “On Terror,” by Philip E. Devine and Robert J. Rafalko

Introduction

There have been several views on terrorism. However, research on terrorism differs from the standard social science research. As one is dealing with underground organizations, often there is little or incomplete data. Terrorism is like a war in the shadows that creates massive publicity. For the majority of researchers, it can be dangerous to do investigative research in danger zones, and therefore, majority of the research is carried out on the basis of reports released by the government and media news stories. Research on terrorism has more often ...

INTRODUCTION

Since the early 2000s, there has been a global revolution in the environmental realm. n various countries, the green movement has manifested itself in a visibly increased awareness by the public, as well as in governmental policies that seek to lessen the environmental impact of both public and private institutions. United States citizens, for example, have begun choosing whether to make their homes and transportation more energy efficient. Humanitarian and environmental non-governmental organizations are deciding how to guide their members and respond to climate change (Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, 2010). Closer to home, Australian governmental policies have also begun ...

1. Adam Smith and Karl Marx were perhaps the most well-known economists of their time, however, their viewpoints on economics and economic development differed to a great extent. Adam Smith is most famous as a founder of the Classical Economics and a strong supporter of economic freedom and trade. Unlike mercantilists, Adam Smith tried to establish principles, which could benefit the whole nation, rather than some individuals. In his book “Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations” he introduces the term “system of natural liberty”, which is equivalent to the current definition of capitalism. According to Smith economic freedom ...

Introduction

Business is an activity that cannot be operated in isolation. With the passage of time, the usual notion of business has changed a lot. The modern day notion of business is that they exist to create certain stuff in the wake of earning a profit and hence, for the creation of this stuff, organizations are needed. The existence of organizations have given birth to a very important concept in business studies named, organizational management, defined as an art of making a group of people work towards the achievement of predefined common goals (Alvesson & Willmott, 2003). Businesses cannot operate without management, as management ...

In the midst of a globalized world, it becomes vital to appreciate the varying types of economies carried by different nations and cultures. When examining the effects and attributes of capitalism as a whole, it is necessary to understand that not all capitalisms are created equal. Two basic types of capitalism exist: liberal market economies (LME) and coordinated market economies (CME) (Hall and Soskice 2001, p. 8). However, within these two major groupings there are many different types of capitalism, which all have their differences that make their particular brand of society unique. There are several major forms of capitalism: mercantilism, ...

Introduction

The banking sector is the defining industry of the modern era of the 21st century. The financial markets operate in order to attract and drag Foreign Direct Investment into the local market, and the national systems of the latest version of globalized world are operating as a set of corporations (Arnolda & Sikkab, 2001). They need to provide the companies with efficient market systems so that the businesses can create profit and healthy amount of return on investment as well. However, the Chinese have grown a fiscal order that is literally housing a well-organized productive capacity. The local productivity is engaged in terms ...

Theodore Gericault’s The Raft of Medusa is a canonical piece of art created in the early 19th century – in the wake of Romanticism in France. Romanticism was not a style, nor was it a manifestation of a singular idea. Instead, Romanticism was a movement, characterized by artists’ transfer of personality and mind onto their painting, including social criticism in the best way it could be presented in an art work. French Romanticism closely followed the Neoclassical movement, which explains Gericault’s being strongly influenced by Michelangelo’s work (Durbin). Many critics also stated that the painting was influenced by the work of ...

After every four years, any liberal American citizen always has to make a choice between supporting either a republican candidate or a democratic candidate for president. These two parties have varying core beliefs. This paper seeks to compare and contrast these two essential players in the American democracy.

They go around the country selling their philosophies and that of their candidate. While there are few areas that these parties share in ideals, there ...

In 2010, Michael Powell, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Communication Commission (FCC) wrote an op-ed in which he endorsed a universal “national broadband plan,” to provide high speed internet to all Americans. He argued that it was a question of equality, because high speed internet access was “the great equalizer, leveling the playing field so that every willing and able person, no matter their station in life, has access to the information and tools necessary to achieve the American Dream“ (Powell). Such government funded universal internet already exists in Switzerland, Finland, and Taiwan, and proponents of such programs argue ...

Introduction

NGO or non-governmental organizations are legally formed organizations managed independently by legal people without any interference of government.

Interagency Collaboration

Interagency Collaboration As the adage goes ‘Unity is Strength,’ so is the situation on the ground as far as crime detection and prevention are concerned. The notion of collaboration and cooperation by all the stakeholders in maintaining sanity, law and order in the affected areas has been very effective and efficient. These two concepts of collaboration and cooperation are well informed by the need to involve the very persons affected by the problem of insecurity and the menace of drug peddling and trafficking. These concepts, therefore, involve a scenario whereby several agencies come and work together towards accomplishing the ...

Using Contemporary Policy Examples, Explain What the 'Three Faces of Power' Teach Us about Agenda Setting

Introduction Public policies reflect, on the surface, governmental decision making processes. At a closer look, however, contemporary policies are the result of direct and indirect pressures upon the public or upon political decision-making factors. Steven Luke’s “three faces of power” model includes the decision-making power, the agenda setting and the preference shaping power, explaining three strategies of modeling public opinion by exerting specific aspects of power (Sundstram, 2011). Agenda setting, also named the non-decision-making power of the three faces of power model is a sinuous strategy that various groups can use for placing their problems or their issue as ...

There is a common reaction for many people when they see modern art: “this isn’t art,” they’ll say, shaking their heads in disbelief. “I could have done this-- what is it doing in a museum?” Many people are not well-versed in the art world, and do not have a good philosophical understanding of the question of art and non-art. When deciding whether or not the government should fund a certain exhibition of art, whether through grants or public funds, there are a variety of different factors that must be considered by the government and the artist. The federal and state governments ...

The government of the United States of America (US) gives paramount treatment to the safety of Americans. A noteworthy area in which that importance thrives in is the realm of disaster evacuation.

Nevertheless, federal-level policies on disaster evacuation provide substantial guidance to state and local governments. Policies on evacuation are important to ...

Abstract

In the framework of the modern merge between philosophy and economic theory, two opposite theories of socio-economic development of human civilization are of specific interest. The first concept theory is Mill’s perception of the liberalism and its further contribution to formation of free market system. The second one is classical Marx’s theory of socialism, which should save humanity from social stratification and anarchy of the free market. In order to understand the correlation between those two concepts and realize what might be wrong about liberty, Mill’s work “On Liberty” will be analyzed from the perspective of ...

In the history of human development struggle and resistance to the system was one of the ways of population to improve their quality of life, establish human rights and finally develop democratic regimes in their countries. While resistance of the former days was rather violent than civil, and the target was tyranny rather than existing liberal regime; nowadays, the “legitimate” public method of resistance and its targets had changed. Today, civil disobedience is taking place as a form of public dissatisfaction with a certain legal or political aspect in liberal democracies or desire to change regime into a democratic one in the ...

Chinese Economic Expansion and Increased Air Pollution

In recent years, China has been experiencing unprecedented economic growth. Chinese prosperity has had negative side-effects, including extreme environmental pollution (Wong, 2014). What researchers call “ambient particulate matter pollution” was the fourth-leading risk factor for deaths in China, contributing to 1.2 million deaths in 2010. Construction, industrial waste and greenhouse gasses are the major contributors to an epidemic that is creating a public outcry for government intervention. The Chinese government and other stakeholders have asserted that air pollution is decreasing and that the main culprits are not large industrial corporations. They point to strict regulations that they claim have been ...
