Im Frühjahr 2023 gingen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland die letzten Kernkraftwerke vom Netz. Es war das politisch beschlossene Ende einer Technologie, die vor rund 50 Jahren noch als unumstrittene Zukunftshoffnung zur Sicherung von Wachstum und Wohlstand gegolten hatte und dann als Gegenstand der Kernenergiekontroverse eine ganze Generation begleitet und teilweise sogar nachhaltig geprägt hatte. Christian von Falkenhausen unternimmt in diesem Buch den Versuch, anhand einer Multiple Streams Analyse der politischen Prozesse der Jahre 1975 bis 1997 zu zeigen, dass die Grundlagen für die späteren politischen Atomausstiege in dieser Frühphase gelegt wurden.

Diese Arbeit beleuchtet die verfahrensrechtliche Förderung von klimaschutzfreundlichen Projekten, die dem besonders dringenden Infrastrukturausbaubedarf abhelfen können. Dazu untersucht die Autorin die im deutschen und französischen Recht bestehenden Verfahrensprivilegierungen aus Gründen des um daraus Schlüsse für eine Verbesserung der Gesetzgebung zu ziehen. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtung steht das im Rahmen einer Novelle zum Energiewirtschaftsgesetz im Jahr 2019 geregelte Verfahren zur Genehmigung sogenannter Netzbooster. Dies sind große Batteriespeicher, die Schwankungen im Stromnetz kurzfristig ausgleichen sollen. Von Bedeutung sind Netzbooster nicht zuletzt im Zusammenhang mit dem Ausbau der Windenergie. Der Band analysiert und systematisiert mittelbare und unmittelbare Verfahrensprivilegierungen im Umwelt- und Planungsrecht und weist auf Handlungsspielräume und Nachbesserungsmöglichkeiten für den Gesetzgeber hin. Den Schwerpunkt im französischen Recht legt die Autorin auf dieCommission nationale du débat public (CNDP) und die von ihr organisierte Öffentliche Debatte ( débat public) sowie auf das beschleunigte Enteignungsverfahren aus Gründen des Gemeinwohls ( L'expropriation pour cause d'utilité publique en extrême urgence). Der Rechtsvergleich liefert Grundlagen für eine Reformdiskussion.

Public sector organizations play a crucial role in addressing the challenge of sustainability and sustainable development. They adopt policies and strategies, provide public services, mobilize and distribute financial resources, and are responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and reporting strategy implementation and goal achievement. The non-profit sector also supports sustainable development alone or through partnerships with the public sector. Including sustainability goals and practices in the strategy and management of public and non-profit organizations considering their characteristics is a nodal point. To this aim designing effective performance management systems integrating sustainability aspects is crucial. Reshaping Performance Management for Sustainable Development explores how sustainability can be integrated into the management of public and non-profit organizations through performance management systems.The Studies in Public and Non-Profit Governance (SPNPG) series focuses on the "micro" level of governance in public and non-profit sector, investigating governance systems, mechanisms and roles at an organizational level.

Securing Integrated Transportation Networks provides a comprehensive look at multimodal transportation security-its dynamics, evolving threats, and technology advances that enhance operational security and related infrastructure protection and hardening, as well as the regulatory environment. As threats are evolving, so is the technology used in enhancing transportation security, operational procedures, and regulations. This book addresses this dynamic evolution of transportation security, serving as a primary reference for information on the range of activities and components involved in transportation security. It covers the myriad parts involved in the relationship between, and among, logistics, the supply chains and transportation entities, and more. In addition, it looks at operations, infrastructure, equipment, laws and regulations, policies and procedures, and risk focused on transportation safety and security by mode and transportation in general. Cooperation and partnering with and among the industry, to include transportation providers and government agencies, is the way forward to ensure that security is maintained and keeps pace with the evolving threat and regulatory landscape.

Dieses Open Access Buch erarbeitet konkrete Ansatzpunkte, wie die kommunale Praxis in Politik und Verwaltung Beiträge zur Ernährungswende Richtung Nachhaltigkeit leisten kann. Dabei wird u.a. aufgezeigt, dass die Aufgaben von Städten und Gemeinden, beispielsweise bei der öffentlichen Beschaffung, in Planungsfragen oder bei der Wirtschaftsförderung, bereits weit in ernährungsrelevante Bereiche hineinreichen und somit wichtige Hebelpunkte für nachhaltige Praktiken bestehen.

Second in a two-volume set, this book discusses the role of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in global transportation infrastructure, specifically focusing on roads, bridges, and parking. To provide vital services in an era of shrinking government budgets, public-private partnerships have become an increasingly important part of travel infrastructure worldwide. This book describes and analyses the structure of various models of PPPs in several countries, evaluating their effectiveness, and drawing policy implications for future use. The chapters were written by leading international researchers and practitioners in the transportation field where each chapter is a case study on the adoption, implementation, and outcome of transportation services. Taken together, these diverse case studies provide an integrated framework for evaluating, using PPPs, and suggesting policy implications to both the public and the private sectors in transportation. Providing rigorous empirical analysis of PPPs in transportation, this volume will be of interest to researchers in public administration, political science, public choice, and economics as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in establishing and monitoring PPPs in transportation.

This book examines the characteristics and evolution of interest groups in Portugal. Drawing from a wide array of sources - including surveys, parliamentary activities, media coverage and interviews with MPs and lobbyists ¿ it systematically assesses interest group politics. The book analyses the main features of group population, the strategies utilised by organised interests, their interactions with key decision-makers, and citizens¿ opinions regarding their role in the political system. The original data provided in this book frames the Portuguese case in a broader European context, and will be extremely useful for international comparisons. It will appeal to scholars and students of European politics, interest groups, democratic theories, and public policy.

Diese Studie interessiert sich für einzelne Personen oder kleine Gruppen und deren Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Steuerung der lokalen Energiewende. Wie funktioniert dieser grundlegende Prozess der Steuerung, bei dem einzelne Personen bestimmte Kompetenzen, Leistungen und Ressourcen für ihre Intervention in das Energiesystem bündeln? Auf diese Frage bieten die Governance-Perspektive und auch die Transformationsforschung unterschiedliche Erklärungsansätze. Zentrales Anliegen dieser Studie ist es, zu zeigen, unter welchen Bedingungen es zu gelingender Steuerung der Energiewende und zu intendierten Veränderungen im Energiesystem kommen kann. Hierfür greift die Studie das Konzept der Agenten des Wandels auf und bringt es mit der soziologischen Systemtheorie in Verbindung. Aus systemischer Perspektive ergibt sich die größte Problematik daraus, dass sich komplexe Systeme wie die Energiewirtschaft nicht einfach steuern, sondern nur unter ganz bestimmten Bedingungen beeinflussen lassen. Mit der Analyseperspektive eines systemischen Agenten des Wandels-Konzepts und dessen Operationalisierung anhand zweier empirischer Fallstudien in Baden-Württemberg werden theoretische Grundlagen erarbeitet, mit denen erklärt werden kann, wie gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse gestaltet und beschleunigt werden können.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, wie die Einzelnen den Übergang in die Elternschaft durchlaufen. Insbesondere beim ersten Kind birgt der Übergang diverse krisenhaft besetzte Veränderungen, zu denen sich die Eltern irgendwie verhalten müssen. Auf diese unterschiedlichen Lernherausforderungen wird mit Lern- und Bildungsprozessen reagiert, mit deren Themenkomplex sich dieses Buch beschäftigt. Interessant ist dabei, wie die Personen sich in die neue Rolle als Eltern hineinfinden und wie die gesamte (Lern-)Entwicklung beziehungswiese Lerngeschichte der Person in ihrer Spezifik, aber auch in ihrer Gesamtheit abläuft. Dafür werden narrativ-biographische Interviews mit Eltern, deren erstes Kind zum Zeitpunkt des Interviews zwei Jahre alt ist, analysiert. Dabei wird mit einem biographieanalytischen Verfahren gearbeitet und ein Vorschlag zur theoretischen Weiterentwicklung und zur Veralltäglichung von Lern- und Bildungsprozessen entwickelt.

"In 2017, many Americans watched in horror as children were torn from their parents at the US-Mexico border under Trump's 'family separation' policy. But as historian Ana Raquel Minian [explains], this was only the latest chapter in a saga tracing back to the 1800s--one in which immigrants to the United States have been held without recourse to their constitutional rights. Braiding together the ... stories of four migrants seeking to escape the turmoil of their homelands for the promise of America, In the Shadow of Liberty gives this history a human face, telling the dramatic story of a Central American asylum seeker, a Cuban exile, a European war bride, and a Chinese refugee"--Provided by publisher.

John Rogers (Specialist in Public Health Dentistry with more than 45 years' experience in management and policy development) and Jamie Robertson AM (over 40 years in private dental practice, extensive public governance and practice experience, and noted historian of the dental profession) look back on 50 years of public dental health in Victoria and Australia. They make a forensic examination of changes in oral health, shifts in government policy, professional practice, technological advancements and public expectations. With a lens focussed firmly on health equity, they ask how good oral health for all Australians can be achieved.While often taken for granted, good oral health is fundamental to good mental and physical health. Poor oral health precipitates and perpetuates low self-esteem and adversely affects a person's ability to eat a nutritious diet, find employment, and engage socially without embarrassment.Oral diseases cause pain and suffering. And yet, despite the well-meaning policy initiatives of some governments over the last half century, dental care remains out of the reach of many Australians and dental health inequality is increasing. While there are many reasons for poor oral health, it is often a clear sign of social disadvantage.Australia's public dental system is a tattered safety net failing Australians on lower incomes, forcing them to face long years waiting for general care. Dental care remains mostly excluded from Medicare. The mouth has been left out of the body. We urgently need a national conversation about how this situation can be remedied.In this unique history, the authors show how we have arrived at the current state of affairs. They trace oral health and disease alongside the complex interaction of social, political and economic factors over the past five decades. Drawing on the latest WHO Global Strategy for oral health, they delve into the past to chart a future in which better oral health is achievable for all.While there is a particular focus on Victoria, the issues are common across Australia and indeed the world.

Over the last two decades, the field of public administration has witnessed theoretical and practical changes that have innovated the relationships between public administration and performance management.Dealing with the rising complexity of performance regimes in contemporary public administration requires that policy-makers and their organizations are able to face unpredictable problems impacting on a community's quality of life. Complex policy issues - such as immigration, pandemics, societal aging, crime, unemployment, and financial crises  - cannot be easily solved by quick fixes that are focused only on a short-term and bounded vision of their causes. They rather require "e;robust"e; methods to support policy analysis and to affect sustainable community outcomes in cross-boundary settings.As illustrated in this book, Dynamic Performance Management provides a methodological framework enabling policy-makers to outline the causal relationships among policy outcomes, performance drivers, and related strategic resources. Such a modeling approach helps stakeholders to broaden the investigated system boundaries so to balance short- and long-term performance under different result domains.This approach blends performance management and System Dynamics modeling. Several examples and case studies are discussed to enable scholars and practitioners to appreciate the practical implications related to the use of such an approach.

This book is a timely examination of congressional oversight in the United States, serving as a definitive guide for scholars and political, legal, and media observers seeking to navigate contemporary conflicts between Congress and the White House. Author Daniel Epstein has spent his professional career as a lawyer serving all sides of the regulatory process: he ran investigations for Congress, defended the White House from congressional oversight, and represented individuals, nonprofit news organizations, and entrepreneurs in federal court to fight for regulatory transparency and fairness. Epstein uses historical and observational data to argue that the modern federal bureaucracy did not begin as a regulatory state but as an investigative state. The contemporary picture of Congress having empowered the bureaucracy to set policy through rules is a relatively recent development in the political development of administrative law. The book¿s novel econometric models and historical analyses force a shift in how legal scholars and judges understand delegation, congressional oversight, and agency investigations.

In diesem Band werden die facettenreichen Beziehungsweisen von Mensch, Tier und Umwelt in der politischen Bildung analysiert. Auffällig ist, dass diese Beziehungsweisen bislang kaum in der schulischen politischen Bildung thematisiert wurden. Vielmehr enthalten die verschiedenen Lehrpläne der Bundesländer hier einen blinden Fleck, der allerdings mit der vorherrschenden öffentlichen Meinung konform geht: Das Leid der Tiere aufgrund menschlicher Handlungen wird konsequent ausgeblendet, genauso wie die Konsequenzen des konsumistischen Lebensstils für Mensch, Tier und Umwelt.Das Kapitel "Rekonfiguration des Rechtssubjekts im Anthropozän - Die "kosmische Person" als Ausdruck relationaler Subjektivität in der politischen Bildung" ist unter einer CC BY 4.0 Lizenz auf link.springer.com frei zugänglich.

This book aims to develop a conceptual framework upon which to draw for analysis of new and existing national reforms in Australia. Due to growth in the volume and complexity of national uniform legislation, law reform agencies, the Commonwealth, state and territory governments and policy institutions have more, rather than less, to do. This book explores how they are required to respond to debates among actors from divergent geographical, commercial and ideological backgrounds, who sometimes demonstrate irreconcilable differences in values and perspectives.From a policy implication perspective, this book summarises a vast quantity of original and complex data so that it can be applied in the field-among policymakers, reformers, legislative drafters, students and the wider audience of legal practitioners working with harmonised legislation in federations. This book acknowledges that uniform legislation is not a panacea for all legal challenges currently faced by federations. However, this book takes a step towards demystifying the many confusing factors that have obscured the underlying general principles. A working theory of 'federal harmonisation' enables 'the art of the impossible' to become a practical reality. This book condenses data on legislation in models. The models enable transparent, evidence-based decisions in the process of a federation's harmonisation to progress regulatory best practices and achieve more reliable, sustainable results.

In 1979, Margaret Thatcher's new government was faced with rampant double-digit inflation, rising unemployment and flatlining economic growth. In response, Thatcher pursued an economic policy which rejected the old orthodoxies and was promoted by only a minority of economists: a policy based on the doctrine of monetarism. Tim Lankester was the private secretary for economic affairs to Thatcher during the early years of her government. His insider's account explains her attitudes and decisions and those of the other main players in this deeply damaging experiment in economic policy making, which promised much but completely failed to deliver. Offering fascinating insights into one of the most unsuccessful episodes of British economic history, he also examines the legacy of monetarism for the economy today.

In this book, street-level bureaucracy scholars from South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America analyse the conditions that shape frontline work and citizens¿ everyday experience of the state. Institutional factors such as political clientelism, resource scarcity, social inequality, job insecurity, and systemic corruption affect the way street-level bureaucrats enforce rules and implement policies. Inadvertently, they end up implementing inequities in citizens' access to rights and services -- despite efforts to repair organisational deficiencies and broker relations between vulnerable citizens and a distant state. This book illuminates these realities and challenges and provides unique insights into critical themes such as resource scarcities, bureaucratic corruption, control practices, and the complexities of dealing with vulnerable population groups.

This book provides an account of the evolution of social security and employment policy and governance in Britain between 1973 and 2023. It explains how this remaking of policy and governance shaped, and was shaped by, the transformation of the labour market and power of claimants and workers. Advancing a class-centred explanation, the text situates contemporary working age active labour market policy as the contingent outcome of a long struggle over curtailment of labour autonomy and the challenges arising from policy 'success' for securing social cohesion, state legitimacy and better economic conditions for growth.

What were supposed to be Jamie's most beautiful years, spent with her husband and children turned ugly when she found herself in a complicated maze of fraud perpetrated against her. With spiraling questions and a family to take care of, Jamie decided to raise her voice against some of the most renowned organizations and people and demanded justice. She stepped into a deep pool that was taking her down slowly but her determination was still high. Amidst that warm yet deadly pool, Jamie found herself linked to conspiracies bigger than she could imagine. Join Jamie as she retells her experience of sending former President Trump some significant information and when she hacked into CIA to expose the truth about the Elites, the Illuminati, the Deep State Kabal, and the corrupt state of Idaho. Jamie, gave her days and nights to expose the Elites and their possible plans to undermine and destroy not only the American citizens but people all around the world. Will she succeed? Or would the powerful people, the ones who exploit their authority over the common man take over the entire world? As you leaf through the book, you will be able to step into the author's shoes and what she went through while putting up a brave face in front of the enemy. In a world where the strong always holds their claws over the layman, Jamie is trying to teach people on how to stand up for themselves, especially when the most influential personalities are out to get you. The Real Truth is nothing but a commendable story of reality that only tells people the truth about the world they live in and of the people they look up to.

Joseph R. Biden Jr. was inaugurated as President of the United States (POTUS) on January 20, 2021. In his inauguration speech, Biden gave glowing remarks about his goal being to unite America and to "Build Back Better." But in fact, his main goal seems to have been to reverse everything his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, accomplished during his four years as President.Never mind if a policy was benefiting America, if Trump did it, it had to be reversed. This reversal of Trump's policies did little to unite and benefit America. Instead, Biden's policies began alienating the half of Americans who supported Trump for those very policies.By reversing Trump's beneficial policies, Biden began destroying America, as his presidency began to be failing. Biden's early actions also set the stage for more failures later in his presidency, so it is important to remember them.On the day Biden was inaugurated, he took over the @POTUS account on Twitter and began tweeting profusely. His tweets promoted his "Build Back Better" policies. But with them being a reversal of Trump's policies, they were often subtle attacks on Trump and his supporters.This two-volume set reproduces Biden's tweets for the first year of his presidency. It also includes my comments I posted on Twitter in response to his tweets. Some of my comments were added later and reflect later developments. I have also added an occasional "Extended Comment" to provide further context and commentary to some tweets.Volume One of this two-volume set recorded all of Biden's tweets from January 20, 2021 to the end of July 2021. This Volume Two covers his tweets from the beginning of August 2021 to January 20, 2022. These two volumes are followed up by a three-volume set on Biden's second year.
