Abstract:

<p> Throughout history there have been taxes. As Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes famously said in 1904, “Taxes are what we pay for civilized society.” From the recorded writings of the earliest civilizations to the front page of today’s newspapers, taxes have been core to human existence. Governments require revenue. In the earliest civilizations governments raised revenue to fight wars and defend their citizens. Taxes were used to build roads, ports, and fortresses. As the world economy expanded, taxes were used to promote economic development, build factories, a

Abstract:

Household food insecurity is a complex problem. It is the product of a wide range of individual, environmental, social, and economic determinants, which themselves interact with and affect one another. This dissertation is about how we can and should relate to this complexity, and the ways in which it is accepted, produced or performed. Connecting a synthesis of capability and complexity theories to an empirical study of food insecurity in three urban Afghan communities, it outlines a new political theory of food insecurity. The resulting theory is both explanatory and normative, emphasising t

Abstract:

Strategic decision-making is a fundamental process in business management as strategic decisions affect the long-term health of the organisation. However, a constantly and unpredictably changing business environment, becoming progressively more complex as time passes makes strategy formulation increasingly difficult. Shock events such as terrorist attacks, rapidly spreading communicable diseases, and unexpected business failures of large and well-established companies greatly affect organisations by making it difficult to effectively plan for the future.

Thesis (PhD (School of Public Management and Planning ))—University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>Among the multitude of problems that contemporary South Africa is faced with, is corruption. Corruption in contemporary South Africa has spread to a systemic level, as evidenced through national and international research, official government statements, and the media. The leakage of billions of Rand from government coffers to greedy individuals is alarming. Allegations of corruption are increasingly implicating top government and party officials.

Abstract:

Military conflicts have become nonlinear and the interrelated political and socio-economic changes within these conflicts have created new challenges for American policymakers. A tool called Wallis' Propositional Analysis (PA) suggests a new paradigm that includes thinking about complexity and robustness/systemicity in a policy. The purpose of this single case study was to determine how the PA paradigm adds heuristic value to complex policy decision-making. A backdrop of Wallerstein's complexity theory and complex adaptive systems (CAS) guided this study. This study examined policy statements

Abstract:

In recent years, both policy-makers and politicians have been confronted with increasing obstacles towards the interpretation, usage, prediction and application of data, information and of knowledge. This has often resulted in surprises, for instance, as predicted outcomes of introduced policy changes, either did not take effect or simply took on other forms that were not desired. Added to that, new developments and advances in a number of key technological areas have led to the emergence of new knowledge-intensive and technologically-complex disciplines, such as Nanotechnology, Genetic Engine

Science, and especially the social sciences, has developed as distinct territories, each with its own vocabulary and language-game (Wittgenstein, 1945/1958).

Understanding and explaining public policy in particular as complex can inform and transform the way problems are approached. This is particularly important for an action subject like public policy

The strategic measures and alternatives are per socio-technical process.
