Public Administration in Conflict Affected Countries (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021): Juraj Nemec, Purshottama S. Reddy Public Administration in Conflict Affected Countries (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2021)
Juraj Nemec, Purshottama S. Reddy
R4,599 Discovery Miles 45 990 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book highlights the main factors determining the quality of public administration in conflict affected countries; and assesses to what extent the conflict determines and impacts on the performance of public administration in affected countries. The main value added by this book is confirming the general expectation that there is no direct and universal link between the conflict and public administration performance (and vice-versa). One may need to argue that each country situation differs and specific factors of internal and external environments determine the trends of public administration performance in conflict affected countries. To achieve the overarching goal of the book, sixteen country studies were developed from all relevant continents - America, Africa, Asia and Europe: Bangladesh, Colombia, Croatia, Egypt, Georgia, Iraq, Kosovo, Nigeria, Palestine, Paraguay, Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Uganda, Ukraine, and Venezuela.

Fiscal Decentralization Reforms - The Impact on the Efficiency of Local Governments in Central and Eastern Europe (Hardcover,... Fiscal Decentralization Reforms - The Impact on the Efficiency of Local Governments in Central and Eastern Europe (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Michal Placek, Frantisek Ochrana, Milan Jan Pucek, Juraj Nemec
R4,237 Discovery Miles 42 370 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book examines the impacts of fiscal decentralization reforms on the efficiency of local governments in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. By offering a comparative perspective and by applying econometric methods and regression models, it analyses various reform trajectories and their effects on individual CEE countries. Furthermore, the book discusses input and output indicators for evaluating the efficiency of municipalities. Readers will learn about the common features of these countries, the impact of path dependence, and future prospects for decentralization reforms. In closing, the book discusses modern management and administration methods, opportunities for cooperation between municipalities, co-creative service delivery, and other measures that could improve the efficiency of public service provision.

Performance-Based Budgeting in the Public Sector (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019): Michiel S.De Vries, Juraj Nemec, David Spacek Performance-Based Budgeting in the Public Sector (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2019)
Michiel S.De Vries, Juraj Nemec, David Spacek
R4,114 Discovery Miles 41 140 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides a comparative analysis of performance budgeting and financing implementation, and examines failures and successes across both developed and developing countries. Beginning with a review of theoretical research on performance budgeting and financing, the book synthesises the numerous studies on the subject. The book describes the situation in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Netherlands and Italy, as well as in seven developing countries - Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Russia and South Africa, at the national, and at the local level. Each chapter provides historical and descriptive details of successful or failed experiments in performance budgeting and performance financing.

International Trends in Participatory Budgeting - Between Trivial Pursuits and Best Practices (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022):... International Trends in Participatory Budgeting - Between Trivial Pursuits and Best Practices (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2022)
Michiel S.De Vries, Juraj Nemec, David Spacek
R3,392 Discovery Miles 33 920 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book analyses the participatory budgeting practice as it has evolved in evaluated countries, focusing on what is substantially at stake concerning the budget and issues involved, the actual participation, the way such processes are organised and administered, and the outcomes of such processes. It concludes that participatory budgeting in selected European countries is far away from the level of 'best practice', but that all experiences are not just trivial pursuits. The information collected serves to check, to what extent participatory budgeting as practiced in the countries involved presents a real attempt to change municipal budgets towards addressing the needs of marginalized groups and to improve decision-making based on local democracy and participation, or whether these processes as such are to be judged to be more important than any output and outcomes. The practices can neither be seen as a process of policy diffusion nor as a process of policy mimesis. The terminology of participatory budgeting remains, but the tools to achieve the goals resulted only in marginal changes in the status quo in municipalities in European countries practicing participatory budgeting, instead of resulting in radical changes to increase spending in favor of marginalized groups. Chapter 15 'Unraveled Practices of Participatory Budgeting in European Democracies' is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
