Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | The concept of "governance" is a key issue for public sector work at all levels. In today's environment of globalization and the growing significance of communication and participatory managing methods, public service provisions and dialogue with citizens have to be developed. Governance provides an answer to these challenges: it combines cooperative forms of governing, involving both the private sector and social partners, which can form networks to develop policies in different fields. "Good" governance is generally seen as an outcome of transparent and efficient governing methods, as well as multi-level governance utilizing both state instruments and other institutions, such as supranational organisations and local and regional governments. This book is devoted to these questions and research problems. The contributors are predominantly young scientists, and examine a wide range of different examples, issues and case studies, in order to analyse various elements and aspects of the concept of "governance". The book provides interdisciplinary and multidimensional research in order to analyse the numerous different facets of this broad term. As such, the contributors to this volume are drawn from the various fields of politics, the economy, society, and communication, in order to provide a well-rounded and in-depth analysis of "governance". --Provided by publisher Initial remarks: Good governance and civil society: Definitions and the political dimension / Ralph Schattkowsky -- Part 1: Internationalization of governance and society -- The significance of good governance for sustainable development: A theoretical approach / Roberta Kareivaite -- The governance of power in the last-Westphalian international environment / Adrian Szumowski -- Democracy and its deficit in the European Union / Magdalena Zawalska -- Effectiveness of the political system and government effectiveness (selected issues) / Marcin Lukaszewski - State as a party to international commercial arbitration / Nerika Lizinska -- Part 2: Communication and self-organisation as elements of regulation of power and society -- The conception of the free marketplace of ideas and freedom of political speech in German: An historical introduction / Wieslaw Waclawczyk -- Public speaking: The source in researching political though / Tomasz Wicha -- On some aspects of media communique / Hanna-Lore Bobakova and Janusz Karpeta -- The subjective model of the civil society in terms of Pope John Paul II / Ilona Balcerczyk -- Help is their business: International service clubs in Germany / Anna Rydel -- The Polish "subtitles scene" in the context of postmodern civil society / Kamil Luczaj and Magdalena Holy-Luczaj -- Part 3: Quality of regional and local identity as a democratic pattern of efficacy of civil society -- The governance model in the post-socialist city: necessity or natural development? / Adam Jarosz -- Public-private partnership and corporate public sector organisation: functional decentralization and alternative ways to increase social performance in Romania / Simona Mina and Felicia Surugiu -- Administrative supervision of local self-government in the context of good governance: The case of Lithuania / Violeta Kiuriene -- The role of non-governmental organisations within housing policy formation and implementation: Theoretical approaches and main concepts / Dilorom Akhmedzhanova -- The anti-civic ethos of the creative class / Alicja Palecka -- Implementation of the principles of civil society and public governance in the cases of Caucasian countries / Kacper Nowak -- Part 4: Economy as regulator of socio-political relations in modern societies -- Interest groups and their influence on the Czechoslovakian Author's Rights Act / Hana Berankova -- Good governance in the development of the absorptive capacity: Can it promote a national innovation system? / Vita Jukneviciene -- Civil society and economic outcomes in the transformation of Poland: Pushback-One company's struggle to survive Poland's mass privatization program; A case study / Chris O'Neill -- Changes in the corporate organisation as a response to globalization (with the application of transaction cost economics) / Oskar Braszczynski -- How Wall Street changed Main Street: Unnoticed agency problems that lead to financial crises / Mateusz Trawinski -- Social enterprises as civil society organisations: A Polish perspective / Marta Cisek |
