Abstract:

Generally, tax reforms have been triggered off by the desire to make the tax systems and regimes simple, transparent, broad-based, neutral, and stable. However, in most of the developing countries, the immediate motivation for reform has been the need to eliminate large and growing fiscal deficits. In many cases, deficits are so large and persistent that realistic levels of public expenditure compression alone cannot phase out fiscal imbalances. Also, it is true that expenditure compression strategies have not been uniformly successful. Therefore, often, tax reforms have had to substitute expe

Abstract:

Personnel rules are not neutral and for over a century have given preference to either political needs or the reform desire for apolitical expertise. In either case, particular interests have been served. Today's municipal personnel practices reflect both the traditional reform spirit and the changes necessitated by equal opportunity and affirmative action and the desire for greater managerial control. It is a time of transition, with as yet no dominant motif.

Abstract:

While rape is a predominantly female social experience, the offence of rape continues to be viewed and defined in law from the male social perspective. Since penetration is central to the male idea of sex, it is also the focus of the offence of rape, regardless of its disconnect with female sexuality, desire, or violation. The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013, though progressive in many ways, is also steadfast in its adherence to the penetration paradigm. In this paper, I argue that rape should be viewed as a violation of sexual autonomy and bodily integrity, rather than an act of penetratio

Abstract:

The reform of the tax system in the Russian Federation is driven by the government’s desire to create a more equitable and efficient economic model. Over the past decades, the tax system has repeatedly undergone changes aimed at improving tax collection and stimulating economic growth. In modern conditions, when the country’s economy is experiencing both internal and external challenges, effective taxation is becoming a key tool for strengthening public finances and supporting social policy. Thus, the study and analysis of tax reforms are of particular importance for understanding their impact

Teachers faced with reforms that stress such practices may become controlling, unresponsive to individual students, and alienated. Test- and sanction-focused students may lose intrinsic int

Abstract:

We analyze a model of delegation and policymaking in polities where bureaucratic capacity is low. Our analysis suggests that low bureaucratic capacity diminishes incentives for bureaucrats to comply with legislation, making it more difficult for politicians to induce bureaucrats to take actions that politicians desire. Consequently, when bureaucratic capacity is low, standard principles in the theoretical literature on delegation no longer hold. We also use the model to examine the issue of political reform in polities with low bureaucratic capacity. The model indicates that politicians in suc

Abstract Andrea del Sarto’s Disputation on the Trinity (1517) engages with powerful traditions of spiritual learning that can be traced back to St. Augustine’s theological writings. This paper asks how and in what ways Andrea’s altarpiece might belong to such a rich intellectual history. The analysis connects Augustinian notions of desire and reform to the painting’s iconography and to the artist’s composition and treatment of color. This line of inquiry not only has exciting implications for the study of Renaissance altarpieces; it also lays the groundwork for a larger study of Andrea del Sar

The application of Taylor-inspired techniques to the reform of the military in the mid-twentieth century and their curiously parallel application in educational reforms receive Miller's closest attention.

Structural change could weaken the thrall of Mammon, but arguments from game theory suggest that individual market actions can also be powerful, and would return moral agency to the individual against a force that can otherwise feel overwhelming. Consumerism rests on three very basic but powerful logics: insatiability, novelty and subjectivity. These are driven by human desire. While this desire can play into the power of Mammon, desire itself is God-given, when rightly directed.

The opera Telemaco, with a libretto by Marco Coltellini and music by Christoph Gluck, occupies a unique position as an opera seria that negotiates both tradition and reform. Scholars have long criticized the opera because of its ill-shaped libretto and uneven musical setting. This article contributes to the ongoing debate about operatic reform by reevaluating Telemaco based on its literary sources—Homer’s Odyssey and Fénelon’s novel Télémaque (1699). The absorption of Homer and Fénelon into the fabric of Telemaco goes well beyond adaptation, touching both its general dramaturgy and the specifi

While the construction of a rational case for pension reform is often straightforward, the political implementation of such reform can be somewhat more difficult.

The purpose of this paper is to distil the ways in which public attitudes influence pension reform.

In the wake of the dissolution of several convents that had resisted reform, conveying a desire to yield to the Order must have seemed crucial for the community's survival.

Praised by all the observers, original forms of communication, using the most modem techniques, thus made it possible to involve all participants in a dynamic which resulted in this reform, despite rather unfavorable social conditions.

Abstract:

The oil and gas industry is among the most regulated and highly taxed sectors of the Australian economy. In recent times, the industry has been confronted with ongoing tax reforms that significantly impact the after-tax economics of projects. Examples include the introduction of the carbon pricing mechanism, the extension of the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) to the onshore oil and gas sector, the decision in the Esso case impacting on PRRT taxpayers, amendments to R&D tax incentives and modifications to the taxation system affecting mobile employees.

This article provides a case study of the process of criminalising a form of dangerous driving in Victoria. It examines the process whereby an ostensibly draconian Bill was transformed into one far less damaging to fundamental criminal law principles and illustrates how populism may be tempered by proper parliamentary procedures, cooperation between parties and a desire to balance political and legal imperatives. It also examines the place of constructive offences in the criminal law and the role that the consequences of an offence plays in the structure of the substantive criminal law and in

Abstract:

Karen J. Renner, "Seduction, Prostitution, and the Control of Female Desire in Popular Antebellum Literature" (pp. 166––191) During the antebellum era, increased attention to the prostitute coincided with a prevalent conception of women as, in Nancy Cott's words, essentially "passionless" unless aroused by sincere romantic love. Yet it seems paradoxical that this ideology existed alongside an increasing awareness of women whose livelihood depended upon manufacturing and marketing sexual desire. In this essay I argue that the prostitute became an object of antebellum fascination and concern les

South Africa suffered a long history of colonization, racial domination and land dispossession that resulted in the bulk of the agricultural land being owned by a white minority. Black people resisted being dispossessed but were defeated by the superior arms of the newcomers. As Lewin has written, “whatever minor causes there may have been for the many Bantu-European wars, the desire for land was the fundamental cause.” Despite the claims that South Africa was largely uninhabited at the time of the arrival of Europeans, documentary evidence shows that in fact the land was inhabited.

Abstract:

This article explores the seemingly paradoxical attitudes of the Chinese middle class towards democracy, social stability, and reform. Using fieldwork data from Ningbo, this article shows that a group of objective, middle-class individuals can concurrently display high levels of support for democratic principles and low levels of participation in real-life socio-political events. Being generally confident in China's social stability, these individuals have little to no desire for significant democratic reform, or indeed any reform that occurs outside the purview of the state, as it is consider

This paper aims to see the influence of political aspects in legal reform. By using a conceptual approach, it was found that:In the context of legal reform, political aspects have a significant influence, this can be seen in the formation of the Constitutional Court. The formation of the Constitutional Court was realized because of the political desire to form a state institution that could control the legislative products of the DPR, synchronize it with the 1945 Constitution so that there would be no violations of the constitutional rights of citizens and to maintain the principle of checks a

The importance of principals to school improvement has been widely recognized, but few studies have focused on principals’ own perceptions of school change and their special roles in reform. This article reports findings from a comparative survey study of American and Chinese school principals’ basic beliefs regarding education and schooling, their views on school reform and the role of the principal in reform, and their visions of ideal schools in the 21st century. Although similarities exist in their perceptions, there are striking contrasts between the American and Chinese views and visions

The conventional wisdom regarding land reform in South Korea implemented by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) is that it was a partial and short-term palliative driven by the exigent Communist threat and the free-land program adopted in North Korea.

In contrast, the United States has resisted legislative solutions, but that may be changing. New strategies to democratize the workplace are a result of global economic competition, desire to reduce job stress and compensation costs, and more successful application of new technologies at work.

While the topic of local government in Russia before the reforms of the 1860s was popular in prerevolutionary historiography, it did not attract much attention from Soviet historians; historians in the west have shown greater interest in the problem. The necessity of using a narrow, class approach forced Soviet historians to interpret the problems of local government in a simplistic and one-sided fashion. The a priori assumption that an independent local government was impossible, especially under absolutism, and the importunate desire to interpret each reform, each action of the crown as a re

There are two series of reasons, political and administrative, which explain the crisis in governability.

Introduction. In the 1960s and 1970s, a secondary school in the USSR became involved in the international mainstream for the reform of mathematics education. Both the content of mathematics education and its ideology and structure were subject to change. Today, the historical events of the last 50 years require a retrospective view. The relevance of the study is determined by the need to rethink the reform of mathematics education of the 1960s and 1970s in the new conditions of radical changes and modernization of the modern education system.
