How do Australian governments budget? How well do they spend and
manage our money? Governments seem to be locked in a constant
struggle with the problems of budgeting. Cabinet never has enough
resources to go around, and while some agencies 'guard' public
expenditure, others find endless ways to make new claims on
budgets. Managing Public Expenditure in Australia provides the
first systematic analysis of government budgeting and the politics
of the budgetary process. Drawing on extensive original sources,
the authors examine debates and reforms in public finance from
Whitlam and Fraser to Hawke, Keating and Howard, and assess their
impacts on policy development. In tracking the way governments
actually spend money, Managing Public Expenditure in Australia
provides an alternate and complementary political history of
federal government over the past forty years. This book also
includes accessible discussions on topics such as budget theory,
financial management in government, and debt and deficit reduction.
An explanation of new resource management techniques and
initiatives help to illuminate the ongoing changes to budget and
expenditure management practices. This is an essential purchase for
students, teachers and practitioners of public finance, and for
anyone involved in the continuing debate over the nature and role
of the public sector.
At the global level, sport is ruled by a set of organizations
including giants such as the IOC (Olympics), FIFA (soccer), and the
IAAF (athletics) as well as sporting minnows such as the World
Armsport Federation (armwrestling). Many of these bodies have been
surrounded by controversy during their histories, after having to
adjust to the realities of commercial sport.
This important book analyzes the evolution of modern sport,
examining the ways in which sporting organisations have adapted
over the years to accommodate changing environments. Themes covered
in this impressive volume include:
* sources of sports revenue
* organising global sporting events such as the Rugby World
Cup
* differences and similarities between global sporting
organisations
Forster and Pope have created an important book, which seriously
analyzes sports organizations from a political economy vantage
point for the first time. Of interest to students and academics
studying the economics of sport, the book is also written in a
style that makes it accessible for those with a general interest as
well as for global sporting bodies themselves.
