This comprehensive new text breaks the mould of traditional Public Sector Economics texts. It provides the student with a solid grounding in theory and focuses on how this theory can be applied to a broad range of contemporary issues such as health and education, the monopoly regulation and privatisation, as well as taxes and incentives. This approach teaches the student to understand how the public sector interacts with the rest of the economy, why governments act in the way they do, enabling them to evaluate policies and their alternatives.
Fatherhood is in transition and being challenged by often contradictory forces: societal mandates to be both an active father and provider, men's own wish to be more involved with their children, and the institutional arrangements in which fathers work and live. This book explores these phenomena in the context of cross-national policies and their relation to the daily childcare practices of fathers. It presents the current state of knowledge on father involvement with young children in six countries from different welfare state regimes with unique policies related to parenting in general and fathers in particular: Finland, Germany, Italy, Slovenia, the UK and the USA.
The European Commission is arguably the world's most powerful
international administration. It plays a central role in the
political system of the European Union. The Commission is a
permanent presence in the life of the member states, but its
influence is felt far beyond their borders. Viewed historically as
the motor of European integration, the Commission is the subject of
intense controversy. It is portrayed frequently as technocratic,
monolithic, and unaccountable, but also as fragmented and weakly
led. According to accepted wisdom, it is populated by career
bureaucrats, who want only to expand the competencies of the Union
and therefore their own power.
