Datenschutz im Electronic Government Risiken, Anforderungen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für ein datenschutzgerechtes und rech


Free Download Datenschutz im Electronic Government: Risiken, Anforderungen und Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für ein datenschutzgerechtes und rechtsverbindliches eGovernment By Nuriye Yildirim (auth.)
2004 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 3824421844 | PDF | 24 MB
Die Schlagworte eGovernment, digitalisiertes Rathaus und Online-Börde bilden spätestens seit dem Media@Komm-Wettbewerb von 1998 den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion um die Verwaltungsmodernisierung. Sie stehen für die multimedial interaktive Kommunikation zwischen der Verwaltung und den Bürgern bzw. der Wirtschaft ohne räumliche, zeitliche und hierarchische Einschränkungen. Das Internet als Kommunikationsplattform hat zwar zahlreiche Vorteile, birgt aber auch bisher unbekannte Risiken für den Datenschutz. Nuriye Yildirim untersucht die durch das eGovernment bedingten Gefährdungen für die informationelle Selbstbestimmung und bietet Lösungsmöglichkeiten auf der Grundlage einer verfassungsverträglichen Technikgestaltung im Allgemeinen und im Konkreten am Beispiel der Online-Melderegisterauskunft . Darüber hinaus nimmt die Autorin eine datenschutzrechtliche Bewertung ausgewählter Probleme wie beispielsweise die datenschutzrechtliche Einordnung von Intermediären im eGovernment vor.

Post-conflict Reconstruction and Local Government


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.

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.

Entomology in the Federal Government


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.
