This book is unique in analysing the new Scottish Parliament from a
systematically comparative perspective. Its basic premise is that
since devolution in 1999 Scotland can be considered a
Scandinavian-style democracy with several features of a
Scandinavian-style parliament. The basic research question,
therefore, is: 'Has the Scottish Parliament in its first four-year
term manifested a Scandinavian-style politics in the sense that
there has been a high incidence of inter-party negotiation within
Parliament?' The architects of the Scottish Parliament saw the
committees as the motor of a 'new politics' and gave them extensive
powers. Outside Austria, only the Swedish and Icelandic committees
have comparable powers. Accordingly, the study sets out to describe
and analyse the workings of the committees in the Scottish, Swedish
and Icelandic Parliaments. The concluding chapter also discusses
the operation of the Danish, Finnish and Norwegian committees.

The Motor of a New Politics?' Chapters
The business case for operating along sustainable principles is
becoming very clear. Sustainable organizations outperform their
peers on many criteria, including corporate social responsibility,
employee satisfaction and -- surprising for some -- even
financially. Sustainable Leadership: Honeybee and Locust Approaches
presents an evidence-based view of how 23 leadership practices
facilitate outcomes that go beyond what is commonly referred to as
the triple bottom line -- environmental sustainability, corporate
social responsibility and financial success. The book centers on a
powerful metaphor of honeybee and locust behaviors, which
illustrate two leadership philosophies with very different outcomes
for a business and its viability. Gathering evidence from scholars
combined with observations from successful firms around the world,
the book presents a bundle of principles, behaviors and beliefs
that forms a sustainable leadership system. This engaging,
insightful book offers a set of principles that can be adapted in
many ways to underpin sustainable leadership in different
situations. It provides evidence and a rationale for building a
business case to change towards more sustainable practices.
