Free Download Paul Jackson, Gareth Wall, "Post-conflict Reconstruction and Local Government"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1032089172, 0367273292 | EPUB | pages: 188 | 1.0 mb
The subject of local government and post-conflict reconstruction sits at the intersection of several interrelated research areas, notably conflict/peacebuilding, governance, and political economy. This volume addresses a gap in the academic literature: whilst decentralisation is frequently included in peace agreements, the actual scope and role of local government is far less frequently discussed. This gap remains despite a considerable literature on local government in developing countries more generally, particularly with regard to decentralisation; but also, despite a considerable and growing literature on post-conflict reconstruction.

The conference addressed a large spectrum of issues that are relevant and have to be investigated for a successful transition from the traditional form of government to a new form known as e-government. The main focus was on the following topics: – improving citizen participation and policy making (e-democracy) – government application integration – semantic Web technologies for e-government – security aspects for e-government services Two sessions were dedicated to e-democracy, an emerging area within- government that seeks to enhance democratic processes and provide increased opportunities for individuals and communities to be involved in governmental decisions.Thecontributionsofthesetwosessionscovermorefundamentalresults and insights as well as experiences from di?erent countries. Another focus was on government application integration and the use of – mantic Web technologies, which are important technical aspects on the agenda of e-government research. Di?erent architectures for the integration and orch- tration of distributed services and processes were presented along with two case studies.

EGOV 2007 was the sixth edition of this highly successful series of annual int- national conferences dedicated to electronic government research and practice. Like all its predecessors, EGOV 2007 achieved a remarkable number of paper submissions. Moreover, the quality of this year’s submissions again superseded previous years’ submissions. For the third year in a row, the conference was anteceded by a doctoral colloquium, with approximately 20 PhD projects d- cussed. The conference also provided a forum for academic work in progress, for practitioner reports, and for workshops on specialty topics. Along with the International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o)intheUSA andthe e-GovernmentTrackatthe HawaiiInternationalC- ference on System Sciences (HICSS), the EGOV series of conferences has est- lished itself as the leading annual conference on e-Government, e-Participation and e-Governance in Europe, with a global reach. Last year, the ?rst two professional societies were formed in North America 1 and Europe, the Digital Government Society of North America (DGSNA) and 2 the European EGOV Society (EGOV-S) . Both sister societies work closely – gether.Itisnoteworthythatbothsocietieshaveadoptedalmostidenticalmission statements.

Free Download Jadon F. Paredes, "Entomology in the Federal Government "
English | ISBN: 1607417537 | 2010 | 159 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This book presents some of the history of the growth, impact, broadening of responsibility, and implementation of entomology in U.S. organisations and its expansion into research, education, extension and regulatory functions. The more than 150-year existence of Federal entomology is paved with accomplishment and outstanding scientific leadership. Entomology in the Federal establishment began before the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) was formed. Major emphasis in this publication is placed on the transition of entomological research and other entomology programs in Federal government organisations beginning with the first Patent Office entomologist to the present multidisciplinary structure of ARS. Regulatory, quarantine, co-operative Federal/State/extramural, and other programs that have branched off from the original entomological organisation or developed independently are also discussed within the limits of access to available information.

Free Download Ramsay Muir, "The Record of the National Government"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138643491 | EPUB | pages: 204 | 0.8 mb
The introduction of the National Government in 1931 came about due to the Wall Street Crash leading to a British Government run by members of all parties, more commonly known as a coalition government today. With public opinion split on how to deal with the financial crisis, this was initially seen as a positive step by many, but for many, the national government was not the ideal solution. Ramsay Muir was one such ex-supporter and originally published in 1936, his study aims to provide a timeline of the events happening before, during and after the original national government and how this impacted on British politics. This title will be of interest to students of Politics and Political History.
