Why and how do politics, society and economics shape the growth and
failure of labour markets? Does government intervention help or
harm labour market reforms/adjustments in times of economic
downturn? What forces drive such government intervention and do
they differ from society to society?In addressing these big-picture
questions, this book's analytical scope is heavily centred around
the topic of labour markets' performance. The book argues that
performance in labour markets across countries are influenced by
their labour market policies. In turn, these policies are shaped,
in varying degrees, by the country's politics. Each chapter in this
book dives into the labour market experiences in various countries
to demonstrate why in some countries, labour markets perform better
than in other countries. Major findings from this book suggest that
countries can produce better economic and social outcomes (e.g.
lower socio-economic inequality) if their labour market policies
are aimed at fostering a socially and politically stable society
via greater equity in wealth distribution across various
socio-cultural and income groups.This book is an essential read for
any public policy researchers, policy practitioners and
undergraduate/graduate students who are interested or vested in the
topic of labour markets' performance in the political, social and
economic dimensions. Particularly, this book provides a critical
synthesis of the labour market experiences in many countries.
Hence, the book serves as an ideational tool to advance future
labour market research and policy.
This book looks at what drives effective management of
public-private partnerships (PPPs). It examines widely cited
Singaporean cases pertaining to successful PPPs as well as those in
failure (and subsequently contracted back in the public-sector
provision) in diverse areas of public service, such as water
services, educational services, trade and logistical data services,
residential services, acquisition and maintenance of military
systems, research and development services, infrastructure, and
sport services. The book begins each case with an overview (e.g.,
project goals (motivators), types of PPPs, stakeholders, time
period, assigned budget, and capital planning) and then
specifically discusses critical success factors and/or risk factors
pertaining to the decisions to proceed with ongoing PPPs or to
return to self-operation (in-house public production) of services
later, respectively. The book concludes with a discussion of
lessons learned from Singaporean cases and contexts of PPPs and
suggests more feasible strategies and conditions toward successful
collaborative governance between public agencies and private
counterparts for the new century. This book will appeal especially
to public policymakers.
