Mark Bevir, R. A. W. Rhodes, Bevir MarkGovernance in Britain has changed enormously in the past twenty years from the market led Thatcher years to Blair's 'joined up government'. This book, written by two leading scholars, is a major contribution to our understanding of the theoretical approaches to governance and of how British politics actually works in practice. The authors provide a radical challenge to traditional accounts of British politics, such as the Westminster model, and instead offer a highly original interpretive approach.

This volume explores the repercussions of a changing world order on regional security in Latin America. It examines how global and regional power shifts impact on the evolution of regional institutions as well as on state policies adopted in response to regional security challenges such as border conflicts, political instability, migration, drug-trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism. Contributions to this volume analyze the topic from three angles: power dynamics and its effects on regional security governance; the contribution of regional institutions to the management of security challenges; and the impact of power dynamics on states' shifting security priorities. Written by specialists from Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, the United States and Europe, the chapters weave theory and case studies to provide a rich description of the impact of power and politics on regional security in Latin America. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars and practitioners interested in Latin American politics, regional cooperation, and war and conflict studies, as well as international security and international relations in general.

Understanding the interrelationship of business society and government is vital to working at any level in an organization of any size

En el mejor de los casos, el nacionalismo no es más que un sueño narcisista, soportable con humor y paciencia. Pero el separatismo suma al nacionalismo la subversión que destruye la democracia vigente. Se puede convivir con el nacionalismo, pero no hay mas remedio que defenderse del separatismo y plantarle cara. Lo hemos visto en Euskadi, ahora en Cataluña: unos cuantos quieren robar a la mayoria parte de la soberania nacional, que no pertenece a ningun territorio sino a todos los ciudadanos libres e iguales. Este panfleto sin complejos ni miramientos defiende la sede historica de nuestros derechos: lo que aun se llama España.

Measures of Active Labor Market Policy - such as training, wage subsidies, public employment measures, and job search assistance - are widely used in European countries to combat unemployment.Little, however, is known about what each country can learn from experiences in other countries.This study provides novel insight on this important policy issue by- discussing the role of the European Commission''s Employment Strategy- reviewing the experiences made in European states- and giving the first ever quantitativeassessment of the existing cross-country evidence, answering the question "what labor market program works for what target group under what (economic and institutional) circumstances?".Using an innovative meta-analytical approach, the authors find that rather than contextual factors such as labor market institutions or the business cycle, it is almost exclusively the program type that matters for program effectiveness: While direct employment programs in the public sector appear detrimental, wage subsidies and "Services and Sanctions" can be effective in increasing participants'' employment probability.
