Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

E-Governance as a field of study is relatively new when considered within the broader historical context of US democracy. The advent of the modern Internet in the early 1990s yielded new technologies that began to shift citizen expectations of how government can - and in many cases should - govern. Though innovations continue to emerge at a rapid pace these technologies may be used to reinforce long-held deliberative democracy principles including transparency accountability and flexibility. Advances in E-Governance offers a comprehensive exploration of the role that technological innovation plays in facilitating government action and citizen participation. In this timely book author Anthony Trotta differentiates e-governance from e-government and examines the increasingly important role social media and crowdsourcing have come to play in our democracy and the interactions between technology polling voting and outcomes. Including practical cases ranging from DMV registration to online tax filing and markers of successful implementation Advances in E-Governance carefully addresses how the adoption and expansion of electronic platforms align with new government paradigms and looks to future trends in this rapidly expanding field. | Advances in E-Governance Theory and Application of Technological Initiatives

Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

The clash of cultures coupled with rapid technological advances seems to be pushing us in paradoxical directions. On the one hand the world seems to be falling apart; while on the other the world seems to be converging. Do we have thoughtful leaders to guide us through these uncertain times? As globalization breaks down barriers global leaders are becoming more visible players on the world stage. From executives of multinational corporations (e. g. high-tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley) to social activists (e. g. Malala Yousafzai) individuals from many different cultural backgrounds and ages are reshaping the way we see global leadership. These global leaders have to contend with a variety of transnational contexts that call for different leadership styles. This book assesses four of these styles – transactional participatory transformational and directive – with representative case studies for each. It provides practical skills that global leaders must master in order to be more effective at the transnational level – cultivating a global mindset; developing intercultural communication; leveraging diversity and inclusion; and managing intercultural conflict. Global Leadership is valuable reading for educators in undergraduate and graduate leadership programs; practitioners involved in global for-profit and nonprofit organizations; and leadership educators interested in exploring the impact of technology on global leadership. It provides an excellent balance between the study and practice of global leadership. | Global Leadership A Transnational Perspective

Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Designed to serve as a basic text for introductory courses in public administration this pioneering work provides students with a clear-eyed understanding of the vital management functions covered in most standard textbooks with two important differences. First it is written to address the needs of both the experienced practitioner and the entry-level public servant. Case examples bridge the content-rich environment of practitioners with the principles of public administration sought by pre-service students. Second the discussion of management practices is grounded in the political and ethical tensions inherent in the American constitutional form of governance. This innovative approach reflects the authors' belief that public administration operates as an integral part of the country's political traditions and thereby helps define the political culture. Key themes in this third edition include: • an emphasis on the ways in which public administration and their agents play a critical role in ensuring legal and political accountability of the political system; • an exploration of local public administration as the backstop of American democracy requiring a close working partnership between part-time elected officials and career administrators; • careful examination of the ways in which the American political economy requires administrators who are skilled at co-producing the common good with voluntary associations businesses nonprofit organizations and other governmental entities; • an understanding that public administration plays a critical role with its prudential judgments in balancing the competing values necessary to secure a regime of ordered liberty. Every chapter has been thoroughly updated with particular attention paid to chapters on budgeting and revenue e-government and the digital divide shared power and the rise of wicked problems and the future of public administration in the United States amidst deep polarization. Foundations of Public Service 3rd Edition provides a framework for understanding American political traditions and how they inform public administration as a political practice. It is required reading for all introductory Public Administration courses with an emphasis on practice and real-world applications. | Foundations of Public Service E Pluribus Unum

Language and Learning in a Post-Colonial Context A Critical Ethnographic Study in Schools in Haiti

The research is based on ethnographic data collected in classrooms in both private and public school settings in addition to different sectors of the society (e. g. state and private institutions). | Language and Learning in a Post-Colonial Context A Critical Ethnographic Study in Schools in Haiti

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species

A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species

Invasive non-native species are a major threat to global biodiversity. Often introduced accidentally through international travel or trade they invade and colonize new habitats often with devastating consequences for the local flora and fauna. Their environmental impacts can range from damage to resource production (e. g. agriculture and forestry) and infrastructure (e. g. buildings road and water supply) to human health. They consequently can have major economic impacts. It is a priority to prevent their introduction and spread as well as to control them. Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from invasions and are landscape corridors that facilitate the spread of invasives. This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the most notable global invasive freshwater species or groups based on their severity of economic impact geographic distribution outside of their native range extent of research and recognition of the ecological severity of the impact of the species by the IUCN. As well as some of the very well-known species the book also covers some invasives that are emerging as serious threats. Examples covered include a range of aquatic and riparian plants insects molluscs crustacea fish amphibians reptiles and mammals as well as some major pathogens of aquatic organisms. The book also includes overview chapters synthesizing the ecological impact of invasive species in fresh water and summarizing practical implications for the management of rivers and other freshwater habitats. | A Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician

Published in 1992. This is a revised enlarged edition of a book which on its original appearance in 1984 was hailed as a landmark in the study of Victorian musical life. It presents the figure of Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1990) not only as the celebrated co-creator of light operas with W. S Gilbert but as a composer of all kinds of music from symphony and concerto to ballads such as ‘The Lost Chord’ and hymns such as ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’. A prominent public life with a knighthood in 1883 is contrasted with an unconventional private life involving a liaison of almost thirty years with an American living in London Mary Frances Ronalds. The author’s access to Sullivan’s diary held by Yale University and to letters and other documents at the Pierpont Morgan library in New York gives this book both a unique authority and a deep human understanding. A new chapter updates research to the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth 1992 and incorporates music examples. | Arthur Sullivan: A Victorian Musician A Victorian Musician
