Food and the systems that produce, disrupt, prepare it are central
to all human life. Yet, scholarly analysis of the food systems that
support human life are highly fragmented across a variety of
disciplines. Public administration, with its focus on the doing of
public policy, would seem to be a logical home for analysis of food
systems in action. However, food is largely ignored by public
administration scholars, and scholars from other disciplines can
unintentionally draw up established public administration
literature. The chapters in this edited volume highlight where the
lenses and languages of public administration can and should be
used to analyze food systems. Viewed collectively, the editors
argue that the lenses and languages of public administration can
and should become a common ground for scholars and practitioners to
discuss food systems.
Infrastructure is the foundation of modern economies. A robust,
efficient, and well-maintained infrastructure system is critical to
support the nation's economy, improve quality of life, and
strengthen global competitiveness. The serious infrastructure
deficit in the U.S. is well-known. State and local governments are
struggling to finance the needed expansion, upgrades, and repairs.
Meeting the infrastructure financing challenge has emerged as one
of the most urgent issues facing the country. Despite the growing
number of innovations in state and local infrastructure financing,
current information on innovative infrastructure financing is
scattered and time-consuming to find. Until now, there was no
detailed, comprehensive assessment of current knowledge and
practice in innovative infrastructure financing. This book fills
that gap and offers policy suggestions for state and local
government managers who are considering the adoption and
implementation of innovative infrastructure financing. It provides
detailed case studies and rich examples that describe innovative
approaches to fund state and local infrastructure development.
These experiences and lessons in applying these innovations will be
particularly useful for state and local government practitioners,
professors, applied policy analysts, and students in public
administration, policy, and public finance.
This book presents challenges in transportation engineering, recent
developments and advancements in technologies, and design and
construction using sustainable materials. The articles presented in
this volume focus on fundamental investigations on various aspects
of civil engineering materials and structures. The scope of this
volume is the application of findings for solving problems in
geotechnical, pavement, and transportation engineering using
emerging techniques. Papers were selected from the 5th GeoChina
International Conference 2018 on Civil Infrastructures Confronting
Severe Weathers and Climate Changes Conference, held on July 23 to
25, 2018 in HangZhou, China.
