Princeton University Press Government Matters
Book SynopsisShows what the Badger State did and how it was done. Wisconsin's welfare reform was the most radical in the country, and it began far earlier than that in most other states. It was the achievement of legislators and administrators who were unusually high-minded and effective by national standards.Trade ReviewWinner of the 2005 Louis Brownlow Book Award, National Academy of Public Administration "The rich detail provided by the author and his investigation into the provision of administrative services make this a useful addition to the literature on welfare reform, state politics, and public policy."--Choice "Government Matters offers an important, in-depth analysis of the government institutions that developed and implemented Wisconsin's welfare reform program. The book will be most attractive to academic audiences, as well as practitioners and researchers who have an interest in administrative structures in general and in Wisconsin's welfare reform efforts in particular."--Susan T. Gooden and Kasey J. Martin, Public Administration Review "Lawrence Mead's new book is ... an especially welcome addition to the literature on contemporary welfare policy... Government Matters provides a valuable portrait of the political and administrative dimensions of putting policy into practice over time. It is an important book that raises vitally important questions about the contemporary American welfare state, governance, and the meaning of citizenship."--Laura S. Jenson, Perspectives on Politics "Lawrence Mead's book is an extraordinary chronicle of perhaps the most well known and successful instance of American welfare reform in the 1990s, in Wisconsin... [A] judicious combination of interviews, participant-observation, documentary research, and statistical analysis."--Robert C.

New York University Press The Poverty Industry
Book SynopsisThe shocking truth about how state governments and their private industry partners are profiting from the social programs meant to support disadvantaged Americans Government aid doesn't always go where it's supposed to. Foster care agencies team up with companies to take disability and survivor benefits from abused and neglected children. States and their revenue consultants use illusory schemes to siphon Medicaid funds intended for children and the poor into general state coffers. Child support payments for foster children and families on public assistance are converted into government revenue. And the poverty industry keeps expanding, leaving us with nursing homes and juvenile detention centers that sedate residents to reduce costs and maximize profit, local governments buying nursing homes to take the facilities' federal aid while the elderly languish with poor care, and counties hiring companies to mine the poor for additional funds in modern day debtor's prisTrade ReviewHatcher exposes an urgent paradox at the heart of American governance: why, and how, are states and localities teaming up with corporations to squeeze profits from societys poorest? The Poverty Industry breaks fresh ground. Every American who cares about the intersection of private profits and public justice should read this book, and wrestle with its arguments. Hatcher marshals years of legal experience and research towards fulfilling the muckrakers calling: 'to comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable.' But he also goes a step further. In The Poverty Industry, he combines a practitioners depth with a journalists flair for storytelling, to generate the first complete account of a little-known phenomenon that should be of interest to every reader with a conscience. -- Sarah Stillman, staff writer for The New YorkerEveryone today is skeptical of charitable organizations that spend too little of their money on charity. After reading this book, Americans are sure to become just as skeptical when state and local governments spend federal tax dollars. Hatchers tour-de-force spells out how federal government spending on services for the poor are being wasted. . . . No one who reads this book will ever feel the same about fiscal federalism. . . . Hatcher shows that a shocking amount of money is going to profit private businesses. Even worse, these businesses are teaching state and local governments how to scam the feds by taking money for one purpose and misusing it to help fill a hole in the state budget outside of the purposes for which the money is being given. An extremely important book. -- Martin Guggenheim, Fiorello LaGuardia Professor of Clinical Law, New York UniversityIn the tradition of great muckraking, Hatcher has exposed how states and localities have misdirected and misused public funds envisioned to benefit the most vulnerable among us. . . . Should be required reading for lawmakers and public officials, to remind them of their legal and moral responsibilities and to inspire them to stop these disturbing practices and direct these crucial resources to their rightful recipients. -- Jane M. Spinak, Edward Ross Aranow Clinical Professor of Law, Columbia University[An] important book...Hatcher has done a great public service by shining a light on these massive distortions. * Stanford Social Innovation Review *In this meticulously researched book Hatcher, who has represented vulnerable people in court for years, including children in foster care, lifts the lid on a system that rather than helping the needy, systematically turns them into 'a source of revenue'. * The Guardian,Mary O'Hara *Daniel Hatcher meticulously explains the impact of deregulated privatisation on America's already residual care services. * Times Higher Education *Hatcher provides beautiful examples of unintended consequences of government policies: states rip off the federal government because the federal government has unwittingly incentivized the states to do exactly that. * Choice *A law professor at the University of Baltimore who has represented Maryland victims of such schemes, Hatcher presents a distressing picture of how states routinely defraud taxpayers of millions of federal dollars. * Boston Review *Hatcher throws light on what can be hidden processes in human services budgeting, contracting, and implementation. The Poverty Industry walks through the evolution of legal doctrine regarding rights of vulnerable persons...The narrative provides compelling evidence that scholars, policymakers, and advocates should take a closer look at the political and business relationships shaping contracting decisions involving for-profit firms. * Political Science Quarterly *"Poverty is here painted as an industry that, like the defense industry, has an iron triangle. As explored by Hatcher, it depicts revenue maximization services and contingency fees that decrease the funds from the federal government that go to helping children and the poor. * Library Journal *The Poverty Industry exposes the venality of a startling number of public servants and private contractors who misdirect and misuse public funds intended to benefit those most in need. * Jewish Currents *

University of Toronto Press Policing Canadas Century
Book SynopsisAlthough the RCMP is often identified as a national symbol, Canadian police history is largely the story of municipal and provincial police forces who have had little influence on popular culture but considerable impact on the lives of Canadians. Municipal police forces predate the Mounties by a generation and first began to articulate their concerns through the Chief Constables’ Association of Canada (CCAC) in 1905. The development of this little-studied, non-governmental organization, known since the 1950s as the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), has been a crucial part of our criminal-justice history.The CACP/CCAC story mirrors the social and intellectual history of policing in twentieth-century Canada. Beginning with and overview of nineteenth-century policing and the conditions that led to the establishment of this first policy lobby. Policing Canada’s Century is a chronicle of police reaction to social change and the rise of new institutions, r

Lexington Books Local Governments in Multilevel Governance
Book SynopsisLocal governments serve their communities in many diversified ways as they increasingly engage in multiple connections: international, regional, regional-local, with nongovernmental organizations and through external nongovernmental services county actors. The book discusses how the shift in emphasis from government to governance has raised many management challenges, along with shifting expectations and demands.Trade ReviewRobert Agranoff is the doyen of collaborative public management. Local Governments in Multilevel Governance explores the way multi-level government impacts public management. He explores how the shift from government to governance has changed the relationships between networks and bureaucracy, especially in local government. It will be a career defining book and a ‘must read’ for anyone interested in managing the complex webs of organizations that typify modern governance. -- R A W Rhodes, University of SouthamptonRobert Agranoff’s broad sweep of the administrative challenges of local government in the current era of global and multi-level governance is both exhaustive and compelling. Synthesizing the rapidly growing literature on multi-level governance and drawing on his vast research experience in cross-national public management, Agranoff’s monograph provides the most comprehensive and contemporary understanding of the managerial challenges facing governments whether a federal or quasi-federal or emerging federal system. Indeed, as Agranoff claims, multi-level governance issues transcend federal systems as various networks define the complexity of MLG governance in the contemporary era. The work is grounded in extensive analyses of NGOs and governmental agencies, their interactions, and the promise for greater intergovernmental collaboration. The frame for understanding MLG complexity is from that of local governments, which given the enormous variation in structure, form and style across the local government terrain creates the dynamic texture of Agranoff’s analysis. Local Governments in Multi-Level Governance will be required reading for all scholars of government, governance, and political systems in general. -- Michael A. Pagano, The University of Illinois at ChicagoThis book is a great contribution to our understanding of a crucial yet undervalued governance actor: local government. By one of the most renowned scholars in the field of intergovernmental relations and network management, the volume achieves both to conceptually analyze the complex changes transforming public administration and to pragmatically provide tools and managerial insights for practitioners. Agranoff exquisitely describes how local governments are today a) vertically linked all the way up to international institutions, b) horizontally embedded in multiple inter-local bodies, c) organizationally related to external for profit and nonprofit providers, and d) politically permeated by citizen groups and initiatives. The author also reviews in depth the managerial consequences of these phenomenal transformations. The book is a necessary counterpoint to both the simplistic legal characterization of local governments as isolated bureaucracies and to the unsophisticated rhetoric of government hollowing-out. The book’s international comparative approach makes it even more valuable to both researchers and practitioners. -- Angel Saz-Carranza, Director, ESADEgeo Center for Global Economy and GeopoliticsTable of ContentsChapter 1: Governing in Multi-Level Systems: Administrative Linkages from Local to National Chapter 2: Intergovernmental Relations Platforms: Managing in MLG Chapter 3: Bringing Local Governments into MLG Systems Chapter 4: Local System Development Chapter 5: Politics: Big “P” and Small “p” Chapter 6: The Knowledge Management Challenge in MLG Chapter 7: Networks and Networking Chapter 8: Interoperability: Sequential Inter-organizational Planning and Programming Chapter 9: The New Bureaucracy: Conductive Administrative Organizations Chapter 10: An Emerging Paradigm: Global Influences on Local Governments Chapter 11: Local Government, MLG: Its Administration in the Present and Future

Lexington Books The Question of Law
Book SynopsisIn pursuit of the question of law, Young Kim explores foundational political and moral concerns and develops a new normative theory of law. This theory of law may be stated as two principles, in lexical priority, as follows: First Principle: One should obey those laws of legal-rational political authority that do not otherwise violate societal norms and customs.Second Principle: Government should only enforce rules of human behavior of legitimate legal-rational political authority.This view understands the foundation of law to be political, including the power to enforce rules. Thus, as this book argues, the question of law is seen primarily as a question of obedience – whether and in what circumstances it is appropriate to obey the law. Kim further subscribes to the view that law should serve the demands of justice; in particular, the theory of justice as right actions, which is led by moral concerns.

ACA Publishing Limited Shanghai - the 'Pacesetter' of China's Reform and
Book SynopsisShanghai was the economic center of the far east in the early 20th century, when it was known as the ‘Paris of the orient’. Decades of relative decline followed until the start of China’s reform and opening-up policy and the decision to develop Pudong. Since then, Shanghai has regained its status as the country’s leading industrial and commercial center, and emerged as a key city in the Asia-Pacific region.Today, it is focusing on a four-pronged development approach with the target of becoming not only one of the world’s top financial centers by 2020 but also a global economic, trade and shipping hub. In 2015, Shanghai’s financial sector grew by 23%, contributing 16.2% to the city’s GDP. In shipping, it has supplanted Hong Kong and Singapore to become the busiest container port in the world with a total throughput of more than 37m TEUs in 2016. Shanghai, the Pacesetter of China’s Reform and Opening Up provides a comprehensive overview of the historical, cultural and social characteristics of Shanghai, its national and global status, and its development before and after reform and opening up. It charts the transformation of Shanghai’s economy, and goes on to assess its pioneering national role in terms of social administration and cultural development. Lesser-known aspects of the city, including the ecological environment and administrative operations, are also analysed in depth. The book concludes with a look at the future development of Shanghai, the integration of the Yangtze River Delta and the vision to create a cosmopolitan city with the capability to allocate global resources.

Peter Lang AG Geschaeftsfuehrung Ohne Auftrag Bei Beteiligung
Book SynopsisIn Zeiten sich verknappender öffentlicher und auch privater Mittel stellt sich zunehmend die Frage, ob neben den öffentlich-rechtlichen Gebühren- und Kostenerstattungsvorschriften das Rechtsinstitut der auftraglosen Geschäftsführung zum Ausgleich von Aufwendungen herangezogen werden kann. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die bei der Anwendung dieses Rechtsinstituts vernachlässigten rechtsdogmatischen Grundfragen aufzugreifen. Unter der Prämisse, daß die Begründung von Erstattungsansprüchen eine öffentlich-rechtliche Anspruchsgrundlage voraussetzt, kann die auftraglose Geschäftsführung nur unter den Voraussetzungen der Analogie Anwendung finden. Eine Analyse der im öffentlichen Recht bestehenden Ausgleichsregelungen belegt, daß mit Ausnahme der Ansprüche der Privatrechtssubjekte gegen Hoheitssubjekte kein sachlich begründeter Anwendungsbedarf besteht.

Book SynopsisDie Privatisierung von Staatsaufgaben ist grundsätzlich möglich. Bei der Entledigung von Sicherheitsaufgaben ergeben sich allerdings spezifische Fragestellungen. Diese resultieren vor allem aus dem Spannungsfeld zwischen der Sicherung von Grundbedürfnissen, staatlicher Legitimation, grundrechtlicher Freiheit sowie finanzieller Zwänge und wirtschaftlicher Interessen. Der Autor untersucht, welche rechtlichen Grenzen und Möglichkeiten der Einbeziehung Privater bestehen. Neben der Klärung terminologischer Unschärfen werden insbesondere die sich aus der Verfassung ergebenden Grenzen behandelt. Die Festlegung exklusiv staatlicherseits wahrzunehmender Aufgaben bilden ebenso wie die Klärung von Reichweite und Ausgestaltung der verbleibenden Möglichkeiten der Einbeziehung Privater weitere zentrale Fragen.

Besondere Berücksichtigung findet dabei ihr hierarchisches Verhältnis: Nur soweit der Streitgegenstand reicht, kann die Sache spruchreif werden. Ausgehend von dieser Überlegung liefert die Untersuchung Lösungsvorschläge für Einzelprobleme bei Verpflichtungsklagen gem. 113 Abs. 5 VwGO, bei Anfechtungsklagen gem. 113 Abs. 1 und Abs. 3 VwGO und bei Klagen auf Vollzugsfolgenbeseitigung gem. 113 Abs. 1 Satz 2 und 3 VwGO.

Book SynopsisDie Arbeit setzt sich kritisch mit Rechtsprechung und Literatur zum intendierten Ermessen auseinander. Im Anschluß an eine dogmatische Einordnung wird der Frage nachgegangen, unter welchen Voraussetzungen die Annahme eines intendierten Ermessens zulässig sein kann. Die zu diesem Zweck vorgenommene Kategorisierung der Rechtsprechung führt zu der Erkenntnis, daß die Kritik der Literatur nur für Teilbereiche zutrifft. Bei differenzierter Betrachtung der einschlägigen Entscheidungen erfährt das intendierte Ermessen in bestimmten Bereichen durchaus seine Berechtigung. Hier bringt es eine begrüßenswerte Vereinfachung des Verwaltungsverfahrens mit sich. Im Anhang finden sich die Fundstellen der zum Thema ergangenen Entscheidungen unter Verweis auf die entsprechenden Ausführungen in der Arbeit.

Peter Lang AG Akteneinsicht im oeffentlichen Recht: Eine
Book SynopsisDie Untersuchung stellt umfassend die bei der Gewährung von Akteneinsicht in der täglichen verwaltungsbehördlichen und verwaltungsgerichtlichen Praxis relevanten Problemstellungen und Vorgehensweisen dar. Insbesondere werden die Begriffe der Akte und der Einsichtnahme erläutert sowie die Bedeutung einer ordnungsgemäßen Aktenführung aufgezeigt. Als Ausfluss des Grundrechts auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung und des Verfassungsgrundsatzes des rechtlichen Gehörs gelangt der Verfasser zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Akteneinsicht im finanzbehördlichen Verfahren gesetzlich zu normieren ist, dass die Einsichtnahme durch Dritte in den jeweiligen Verfahrensordnungen geregelt und eine ausreichende Rechtsgrundlage für die Übersendung von Akten durch die Gerichte geschaffen werden muss. Die Untersuchung ist daher sowohl für Verfahrensbeteiligte und ihre Vertreter als auch für Behörden und Gerichte ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk.

Peter Lang AG Die Mitwirkungspflichten Der Am
Book SynopsisVerantwortliche Verwaltungsarbeit ist ohne eine zutreffende Ermittlung des entscheidungserheblichen Sachverhaltes undenkbar. Die Verwaltungsverfahrensgesetze legen mit der Anordnung eines (nicht des) Untersuchungsgrundsatzes die Tatsachensammlung in die Hände der Verwaltung, beziehen in der Statuierung von Mitwirkungspflichten aber auch die am Verfahren Beteiligten in diesen Prozeß ein. Die Untersuchung zeichnet die Rollen beider Verfahrenssubjekte bei der Tatsachensammlung und grenzt sie gegeneinander ab. Zur Gewinnung konkreter und für die Praxis verwendbarer Ergebnisse geschieht dieses für die Verwaltungsbereiche, in denen die Abgabenordnung einerseits und das zehnte Buch des Sozialgesetzbuches andererseits Anwendung finden. Auf diesen Feldern von Massenverwaltung werden Antworten auf die Fragen gegeben, ob, wann, wo und insbesondere warum die behördliche Inquisition an der (Nicht-) Mitwirkung der Beteiligten ihre Grenze findet.
