Abstract:

With Singapore serving as the subject of exploration, The Hard State, Soft City of Singapore explores the purview of imaginative representations of the city. Alongside the physical structures and associated practices that make up our lived environment, and conceptualized space engineered into material form by bureaucrats, experts and commercial interests, a perceptual layer of space is conjured out of people’s everyday life experiences. While such imaginative projections may not be as tangible as its functional designations, they are nonetheless equally vital and palpable. The richness of its

Abstract:

A Fervent Crusade for the National Soul examines the implementation of cultural policies in relation to the contested configuration of citizenship in Colombia between 1930 and 1946. At a time when national identities were re-imagined all over the Americas, progressive artists and intellectuals affiliated with the liberal governments that ruled Colombia established an unprecedented bureaucratic apparatus for cultural intervention that celebrated so-called “popular culture” and rendered culture a social right. This book challenges pervasive narratives of state failure in Colombia, attending to t

Abstract:

This chapter explains the various ways by which the cardinals and others tried to circumvent the papal election or, at least, to blunt its effects. It traces the development of several characteristic features of papal government—the sale of venal office, the proliferation of bureaucratic organs, and the rise of a market in papal debt—and shows how they benefited not just the popes themselves but also the much wider slice of the political elite who invested in such instruments. These developments may have led directly to the decline of papal nepotism, from the late seventeenth century onwards,

Abstract:

Time and space are two dimensions that are likely to provide the paths—either singly or in tandem—by which international policy decisions are interdependent. There are several reasons to expect international relations processes to be interdependent across space, time, or both dimensions. Theoretical approaches such as rational expectations models, bureaucratic models of decision-making, and psychological explanations of international phenomena at least implicitly assume—and in many cases explicitly predict—dependence structures within data. One approach that researchers can use to test whether

This book explores what it means to be a gendarme investigating cases, writing reports, and settling disputes in rural Niger. At the same time, the book looks at the larger bureaucracy and the irresolvable tension between bureaucratic structures and procedures and peoples' lives. The world of facts and files exists on one side, and the chaotic and messy human world exists on the other. The book contends that bureaucracy and police work emerge in a sphere of constant and ambivalent connection and separation. The book's frontier in Niger (and beyond) is seen through ideas of space, condition, an

Abstract:

The core decision-making literature argues that leaders and their advisors operate within a political and social context that determines when and how they matter to foreign policy decision making. Small groups and powerful leaders become important when they have an active interest in and involvement with the issue under discussion; when the problem is perceived to be a crisis and important to the future of the regime; in novel situations requiring more than simple application of existing standard operating procedures; and when high-level diplomacy is involved.

Removing the friction of competing perspectives and bureaucratic interests by the various agencies of government (along with their supporters in the Congress and beneficiaries among businesses, interest groups, and the public) that would foster “unity of effort” and the ability to prioritize activity, budget accordingly, carry out policies crisply, and convey a consistent message by our government is chimerical. The interagency system cannot be structured to maximum efficiency in the United States. Efficiency is radically beside the point, because the purpose of the structure is to maximize co

In particular, it considers the Indian Constitution’s regulation of civil servants and the constitutional controversies surrounding the often-competing ideals of bureaucratic independence and bureaucratic responsiveness. After providing a historical overview of the Indian bureaucratic structure, the chapter turns to the debates in the Indian Constituent Assembly over the place for an independent civil service in a modern, democratic nation such as India.

Abstract:

Abstract Byzantium is commonly taken to be a somewhat exotic entity on the margin of medieval Europe—bureaucratic, Greek- rather than Latin-speaking, Orthodox rather than Catholic, wealthy and effete, relying on cunning rather than martial exploits to foil its enemies. It is viewed from the inside out and from the top down, since the great majority of primary sources emanate from the capital. Hence court intrigues, trouble from unruly churchmen, putsches, and civil wars loom large. A very different line is taken in this book. Byzantium and its east Roman predecessor are viewed from the outside

In the 1960s, the radical youth of Western Europe's New Left rebelled against the democratic welfare state and their parents' antiquated politics of reform.

This book traces the history of neoleftism from its antifascist roots in the first half of the twentieth century, to its postwar reconstruction in the 1950s, to its explosive reinvention by the 1960s counterculture.

The past should not be judged by today’s standards; the actions and motivations described here occurred in a period rife with fear and propaganda.

Abstract:

This chapter highlights the features and development of administrative law in Switzerland. Historically speaking, a peculiarity of the Swiss state and its administration is a lack of a monarchic past and a weakness of bureaucratic tradition. Another characteristic element of Swiss public authorities is the slow growth of their structure from bottom (municipalities, cantons) to top (federal level). Thus, Switzerland is one of the most decentralized countries of Europe. The lack of a central and bureaucratic administration means that the administrative law's emancipation in Switzerland started n

Abstract:

Explores the social and cultural history of bureaucratization in 19th-century Britain and France via the evolving literary portrayal of office life. Literary critics have long cited the clerk in 19th-century literature as an emblem of a nascent lower middle class, or of shifting gender roles in the world of work. Moreover, there is growing critical interest in the influence of rapidly evolving organizational systems and data networks on this period’s culture. By refocusing on the point at which these interests meet – the office – The Rise of Office Literature plays a synthesizing role, identif

The dilemma of holding prosecutors accountable while ensuring their independence was at the centre of the debates surrounding the establishment of the ICC and has been a recurring question ever since. Drastic judicial remedies against prosecutorial misconduct have the potential of harming other interests of international criminal justice, including deterrence, retribution, and the establishment of an accurate historical record. On the other hand, non-judicial mechanisms may compromise the principle of prosecutorial independence and create the risk that politics would influence disciplinary dec

Spiritual sickness troubles American medicine. Through a death-denying culture, medicine has gained enormous power—an influence it maintains by distancing itself from religion and spirituality, which too often remind us of our mortality. As a result of this separation of medicine from spiritual traditions, patients facing serious illness infrequently receive adequate spiritual care despite the large body of empirical data demonstrating its import to patient meaning-making, quality of life, and medical utilization.

Although the Government has created several institutional and regulatory frameworks to manage oil-related revenues and ensure that oil contributes to structural transformation, Uganda is already experiencing many of the stylized facts associated wi
