Springer International Publishing AG How Border Peripheries are Changing the Nature of
Book SynopsisThis book addresses the multiple dimensions of the limited reach, or breakdown, of central authority in border regions of Arab states, and their implications for state sovereignty and modes of governance. These include the emergence of illicit networks of exchange, the rise of new nonstate actors in border regions, including paramilitary or jihadi groups, and the transformation of border areas into areas of regional conflict. Collectively, the essays in this volume address such processes, which have been observable in conflict-stricken countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and in fragile political or economic contexts, like the ones in Lebanon, Tunisia, and Algeria, as well as in relatively stable Emirates such as Kuwait. The contributions also shed light on how border peripheries in the Arab world have impacted the center of political and economic power in their states. Table of Contents1. Introduction, Maha Yahya2.

It offers a wide scope, covering different sectors (e.g., forestry, mining) and geographical landscapes (e.g., inland and coastal areas). This book engages with existing theories and frameworks, including Earth System Governance, Adaptive and Interactive Governance, among others to trigger a debate regarding the operationalization of such concepts, which are mostly developed for the Global North context. It is also our ambition to incorporate more empirical knowledge from local contexts to indicate research gaps and future directions for environmental governance research agenda to be more diverse, inclusive, and facilitate the incorporation of inter-and transdisciplinary knowledge. This book will be useful for researchers, students, practitioners, and policymakers who are interested in the field of environmental governance, especially in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the countries with the fastest-growing economies in Asia. Indonesia is rich in natural resources but also suffers from overexploitation and environmental threats exacerbated by climate and human pressures. Along with the growing global ambitions for achieving sustainable development and capacity to adapt to current and future threats, including climate change impacts and disaster risk, Indonesia's commitments to balance development while safeguarding a good environmental status are also increasing. The challenge is on how to govern complex and systemic natural, social and governance systems while adhering to the principle of equity and justice? As it will require more than traditional hierarchical modes of governance and current regulatory instruments (i.e., law and regulations).This is an open access book.Table of ContentsTable of content Foreword Dodik Ridho Nurrochmat, Arun Agrawal Chapter 1 Introduction Annisa Triyanti, Mochamad Indrawan, Laely Nurhidayah, Muh Aris Marfai PART I: emerging concepts and perspectives Chapter 2 Introducing the Pluriverse of the Anthropocene: Toward an Ontological Politics of Environmental Governance in Indonesia Rangga Kala Mahaswa and Min Seong Kim Chapter 3 Earth System Governance in Indonesia: An Initial Investigation Erwin Nugraha, Mahesti Okitasari, Annisa Triyanti, Yanuardi Yanuardi Chapter 4 Post-politicizing the Environment: Local Government Performance Assessments in Indonesia Yogi Setya Permana, Septi Satriani, Imam Syafi’i, Pandu Yuhsina Adaba, Sari Seftiani, and Dini Suryani PART II: Wetlands Chapter 5 Gender and Climate Change Vulnerability: A Case Study of a Coastal Community in Pramuka Island, The Seribu Islands Tri Saputro and Priya Kurian Chapter 6 Coastal Forest Re-Grabbing: A Case from Langkat, North Sumatera, Indonesia Dedi S.

Springer International Publishing AG Public-Private Stewardship: Achieving
Book SynopsisThis book offers a defense acquisition perspective that provides action orientations and decision making to increase the value-for-money (VFM) of public-private partnerships (PPPs) through public-private stewardship (PPS). The differing motives of the public and the private sector are not conducive to partnership that leads to optimal outcomes. PPS is offered to practitioners and academics as a solution to failures of PPPs by following the public stewardship tenets of fiduciary responsibility and advancing the public interest while factoring in the additional elements of the private sector. The public values of transparency, accountability, responsibility, responsiveness, efficiency, effectiveness, equity, diversity, inclusion, fairness, and security, among others, can be shared in success between the public and private partners. By establishing shared values aligning with each stakeholder’s measures for success, it is possible to devise value propositions for stakeholder decision making that supports inter-organizational strategy, operations, tactics, goals, and objectives. PPS practices can further ensue as the public-private steward utilizes tools of expertise and organizational capacity. The book provides seven portraits of practitioners in the practice of PPS to assist PPP stakeholders achieve VFM. PPS is illustrated using examples in the Department of Navy (DON) and Department of Defense (DOD).Table of ContentsChapter 1. IntroductionChapter 2. Leadership as StewardshipChapter 3.

Springer International Publishing AG Realising Linguistic, Cultural and Educational
Book SynopsisThis volume assesses Non-Territorial Autonomy (NTA) in terms of its practical capacity to support the linguistic, cultural, and educational rights of national minority groups across Europe. The fact that 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the coming into force of the Council of Europe Framework Convention on National Minorities (FCNM) and European Charter for Regional and Minority languages (ECRML) makes this book especially timely and relevant. Its numerous detailed empirical studies, one of which uses FCNM reporting as a benchmark, give a picture of the extent (or otherwise) to which international minority rights standards are actually being realized through various NTA arrangements. In keeping with the principles laid out in these foundational documents, the contributions to this volume acknowledge that when it comes to the effective delivery of linguistic, cultural and educational rights, NTA is best regarded not as an alternative but as a complement to territorially based arrangements.This is an open access book.Table of ContentsIntroduction David J.

Book SynopsisThis book provides a conceptual and methodological approach for researchers evaluating governance and policy in the face of complexity, and demonstrates the application of this approach across different governance and policy contexts.

Springer International Publishing AG The Strange Demise of the Local in Local
Book SynopsisThis book challenges the notion that bigger local government is always better. Whilst the central government in Britain has often supported increases in local government size, the book argues that this has been detrimental, and has caused the erosion of distinctive community identities that were previously represented by local authorities empowered to make significant local choices about services and future strategy. Drawing from national and international evidence, it offers an alternative narrative about the size, role, function and purpose of local government to that currently dominating policy discussion. It aims to provide readers who oppose size increases in local government with the evidence and arguments to influence change in their areas. The book will appeal to policymakers working in central and local government, as well as academics interested in public policy, public administration and local government.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Setting the Scene.Chapter 2: The Way Things Used to Be.Chapter 3: Reorganisation, Reorganisation, Reorganisation: The Changing Map of Local Government.Chapter 4: Explaining the Persistence of the Unitary Principle in the Department’s Mindset.Chapter 5: A Strange Affair: Local Government Reorganisation in Northamptonshire 2018-21—A Case Study.Chapter 6: Doomsday Approaches and then Recedes.Chapter 7: What is the Problem About Two-Tier Local Government?Chapter 8: Why Bigger is Not BetterChapter 9: Where Do We Go from Here?

In a geopolitical context in which Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine has renewed the impetus for EU enlargement, national views vary considerably on the timing, conditions, and reforms necessary to welcome Eastern neighbours and the Western Balkans countries into the European family.

Springer International Publishing AG Public Net Worth: Accounting – Government -
Book SynopsisAs individuals, we depend on the services that governments provide. Collectively, we look to them to tackle the big problems - from long-term climate and demographic change to short-term crises like pandemics or war. Funding this activity, and managing the required finances sustainably, is difficult – and getting more so. But governments don't provide – or use – basic financial information that every business is required to maintain. They ignore the value of public assets and most liabilities. This leads to inefficiency and bad decision-making and piles up problems for the future. Governments need to create balance sheets that properly reflect assets and liabilities, and to understand their future obligations and revenue prospects. Net Worth – both today and for the future – should be the measure of financial strength and success.Only if this information is put at the centre of government financial decision-making can the present challenges to public finances around the world be addressed effectively, and in a way that is fair to future generations.The good news is that there are ways to deal with these problems and make government finances more resilient and fairer to future generations. The facts, and the solutions, are non-partisan, and so is this book. Responsible leaders of any political persuasion need to understand the issues and the tools that can enable them to deliver policy within these constraints. Table of ContentsPART 1.

De Gruyter De-Trumping U.S. Foreign Policy: Can Biden Bring America Back?
Book SynopsisAmerica’s reputation and power fell to new lows during Trump’s presidency. Militarily, the United States held its own, but its soft power suffered mightily. President Biden pledges to work with the international community, rely on cooperation with like-minded allies, challenge adversaries, and restore American democracy, society and economy to levels that will once again command international respect. De-Trumping U.S. Foreign Policy will address the objectives, obstacles, and potential outcomes of this attempt over the next few years. Sloan evaluates both elite and public opinion from democratic allies around the world, plus elite opinions from states less friendly to the United States. He documents and analyses Biden’s approach to foreign policy and his goals for the U.S. role in the world. The volume will also examine how Biden’s domestic policy objectives, in the areas of the pandemic, systemic racism, political equity, the economy and climate change, relate to his foreign policy goals. The early steps made by Biden will be laid out and evaluated and hidden chances of success or failure will be measured, with a striking analysis of what failure might mean for the USA and the world.

De Gruyter Crisis in Sri Lanka and the World: Colonial and Neoliberal Origins: Ecological and Collective Alternatives
Book SynopsisThis book provides a broad picture of Sri Lanka’s on-going political and economic crisis as the culmination of several centuries of colonial and neo-colonial developments. The book presents the Sri Lankan crisis as an exemplification of a broader global existential crisis facing more and more debt trapped countries, especially in the post-colonial Global South. The book's in-depth case study raises important questions pertaining to sovereignty and political and economic democracy in Sri Lanka and the world at large. The book also explores the emergence of the crisis in the context of the accelerating geopolitical conflict between China and the USA in the Indian Ocean. It ponders if the debt crisis, economic collapse and political destabilization in Sri Lanka were intentionally precipitated to the advantage of the Quadrilateral Alliance (USA, India, Australia and Japan). Moving beyond geopolitical rivalry, the book juxtaposes Sri Lanka’s political-economic crisis with the broader ecological crisis of climate change and sea-level rise. The book concludes with a consideration of the ethical dilemmas behind the debt and survival crisis in Sri Lanka and across the world. It points out a range of social movements and initiatives in Sri Lanka and the Global South which subscribe to collective and ecological alternatives and a Middle Path of sustainability and social justice.

Springer International Publishing AG The Future of Europe: Views from the Capitals
Book SynopsisWith a Foreword by the President of the European Parliament, Antonio Tajani.This book sheds light on the political dynamics within the EU member states and contributes to the discussions about Europe. Authors from all member states as well as Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey assess how their country could get more involved in the European debate, taking the reader on a journey through various political landscapes and different views. The chapters cover issues ranging from a perceived lack of ambition at the periphery to a careful balancing act between diverse standpoints at the geographical centre. Yet, discussions share common features such as the anxiety regarding national sovereignty, the migration and border discourse, security concerns as well as the obvious need to regain trust and create policies that work. The book contributes vigorously to the debate about Europe in all capitals and every corner of the continent, because this is where its future will be decided.Table of ContentsWhy this book?Johannes Pollak, Paul Schmidt, Michael KaedingForewordAntonio Tajani, President of the European ParliamentAustria in Europe: Size matters – But so do ideasJohannes Pollak, Paul SchmidtBelgium in search of a stance on today's EU integration dilemmasNathalie Brack, Amandine CrespyBulgaria: More Europe in Domestic PoliticsDaniel SmilovCroatia: Finally in the EU but still in search for a place under the (EU) sunJakša PuljizA future Europe for Cyprus: a struggle to overcome the utopianism of the 1990s and come to terms with the tough pragmatism of the 2020sGiorgos KentasCzech Republic – a paradise for Eurosceptics?Petr Kratochvíl, Zdeněk SychraThe Schizophrenic DanesMarlene WindHas the Estonian e-Tiger been caught napping?Viljar VeebelBridging the EU’s political dividing lines is in Finland’s security interestJuha JokelaFrance: Supporting the jobless – a job for EuropeXavier Ragot, Olivier RozenbergGermany and the EU: Managing differentiation to avoid structural segregationAndreas MaurerGreece: Of “Future of Europe” plans and political honestyXenophon Yataganas, A.D.

Springer Die Corona-Zumutung: Politik und Gesellschaft in
Book SynopsisDas Corona-Virus bestimmt seit mehr als zwei Jahren das Leben in Deutschland. Solange Politik und Gesellschaft auf Bundes-, Landes- und Kommunalebene kooperativ, subsidiär und selbstverantwortlich gehandelt haben, war die Coronapolitik am effektivsten und die Eingriffstiefe staatlicher Maßnahmen am geringsten. Doch Politik und Gesellschaft haben sich zu oft in sich selbst verheddert, zu oft gegenseitig blockiert und die Verantwortung gegenseitig zugeschoben. Am Ende des Tages ist die Bilanz vor allem deswegen ernüchternd, weil wir die Vorteile unserer Gesellschaftsordnung - Demokratie, Föderalismus und Selbstbestimmung - für das Krisenmanagement zu wenig in Wert gesetzt haben. Die Politik war nicht in der Lage, Orientierung zu geben, die Gesellschaft driftete auseinander und die Coronabekämpfung entsolidarisierte sich zunehmend.Table of ContentsCorona: Eine epochale Herausforderung.- Der Mensch in der Corona-Manege.- Fallstricke politischer Pandemiesteuerung.- Mit weniger Demokratie gegen das Virus?.- Coronabekämpfung im real existierenden Föderalismus.- Staats- und Politikversagen in der Coronakrise?.- Unsere Lernkurve: Ein Nachwort.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd America's Future: Biden And The Progressives
This book is about a choice President Biden must make that will determine the future of America. His choice is between being a partisan politician or a non-partisan statesman. However, to be a statesman, he must contend with the progressive wing of his party. Today's progressives have become revolutionaries whose purpose is to remake America by canceling their opponents. Biden has a tiger by the tail. As in all such situations, the problem is how to let go. In this book, we suggest how Biden can free himself from the danger posed by the progressives and simultaneously benefit America dramatically.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Friedrich Engels and the Foundations of Socialist Governance
Book SynopsisThis book states that the political systems of China, Vietnam, Cuba and other socialist countries are showing distinct maturity and ability to deal effectively with challenges – the most recent being the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to understand how they have developed their structures, it is time to return to the roots of the Marxist tradition and re-examine the question of socialist governance. It was Friedrich Engels (and less so Marx) who laid out some of the theoretical foundations for socialist governance. On the basis of extensive research in 1870s and 1880s, Engels developed his analysis of the nature of hitherto existing states as a ‘separated public power’; the role of the dictatorship of the proletariat and its exercise of power; the actual meaning of the ‘withering away of the state’, which would be one of the very last outcomes of socialist construction; and the nature of socialist governance itself. On this matter, he proposed a de-politicised public power that would stand in the midst of society and focus on managing the processes of production for the sake of the true interests of society.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Chapter 1. Separated Public Power: On Hitherto Existing States.- Chapter 2. Socialist Gewalt and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.- Chapter 3. Abolition or Dying Away of the State?.- Chapter 4.
