Mungiu pippidi (164 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Why do some societies manage to control corruption so that it manifests itself only occasionally, while other societies remain systemically corrupt? This book is about how societies reach that point when integrity becomes the norm and corruption the exception in regard to how public affairs are run and public resources are allocated. It primarily asks what lessons we have learned from historical and contemporary experiences in developing corruption control, which can aid policy-makers and civil societies in steering and expediting this process. Few states now remain without either an anticorruption agency or an Ombudsman, yet no statistical evidence can be found that they actually induce progress. Using both historical and contemporary studies and easy to understand statistics, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi looks at how to diagnose, measure and change governance so that those entrusted with power and authority manage to defend public resources.…

Hardcover in black cloth with gilt spine lettering, issued in the original pictorial dust jacket. xiv + 346 pages, with notes, tables, bibliography/index material. The copyright page carries the complete number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1, confirming the first printing of the 2010 Columbia University Press edition. Printed in India on permanent, durable acid-free paper with recycled content. Jacket design by Fatima Jamadar. The Columbia edition is the North American counterpart to the 2010 Hurst publication; contemporary bibliographic records document both editions. An ambitious comparative history of political institution-building in the post-Ottoman Balkans, the collection examines constitutional monarchy, the Orthodox Church and state formation, administrative elites, local government, rule of law, citizenship, organized violence, media, and other mechanisms through which former Ottoman territories attempted to construct modern European states. Contributors include Paschalis M. Kitromilides, Alina Mungiu-Pippidi, Wim van Meurs, Dimitar Bechev, Constantin Iordachi, Mogens Pelt, John Gledhill, Charles King, and others. The book attracted reviews in both Slavic Review and Nationalities Papers, evidence of its reception within the scholarly literature on Southeastern Europe and nationalism. Condition: Near Fine / Near Fine. Black cloth remains clean and sharp with bright gilt spine lettering; binding is square, firm, and tight. Interior is clean and unmarked with the exception of an erased name on the front endpaper, with no other writing, highlighting, or ownership markings found. Original dust jacket is bright and complete, showing only very light shelf/edge wear and a little minor handling at the extremities. A particularly attractive copy of an academic hardcover that is often encountered as a working/reference copy. First Edition / First Printing of the Columbia University Press edition. The copyright page dates the book 2010 and the complete number line ends in 1. WorldCat separately identifies this Columbia issue as New York, 2010, ISBN 9780231701686. What makes this title more interesting bibliographically is that it appeared at a very specific moment in the historiography of Southeastern Europe. Rather than another narrative history of the Ottoman decline or Balkan nationalism, the editors organized the book around institutions - courts, bureaucracy, citizenship, elections, media, local government, and administrative structures. Hurst itself characterized the project as filling the absence of a history devoted to Balkan institutions. The book's central historical comparison - how societies moved from Ottoman imperial structures toward European-style institutions - also deliberately echoed the contemporary post-Communist movement toward European integration. That gives the 2010 publication a dual historical perspective that remains useful to scholars of the Balkans, European integration, state formation, and nationalism.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Corruption has an impact. It is about time that anticorruption starts having an impact, too. This is the first annual policy report of the European Seventh Framework Research Project ANTICORRP, which has started in 2012 and will continue until 2018. Based on the work of 21 different research centers and universities gathering original data, ANTICORRP offers yearly updates on the latest from corruption research, analyzing both the consequences of corruption and the impact of policies attempting to curb it. This first report offers a methodology to evaluate corruption risk and quality of government at country, region and sector level by means of corruption indicators that are sensitive to change and policy intervention. The aim of the project is to offer testable, easy to handle policies which reduce corruption risk. Corruption distorts market competition, bolsters deficits on behalf of discretionary spending, hurts real investment in public health and education, reduces tax collection, detriments the absorption rate of EU funds, and generates vulnerable employment and brain drain. This study estimates that if EU member states would all manage to control corruption at the Danish level, tax collection in Europe would increase by 323 billion Euro per year - double of the EU budget for 2013.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - From Turkey to Egypt, Bulgaria to Ukraine, and Brazil to India, we witness the rise of an angry urban middle class protesting against what they see as fundamental corruption of their political regimes, perceived as predatory and inefficient. Corruption is near the top of all global protesters' list of grievances - from the Occupy movement to the Arab Spring. Their countries have benefited to varying degrees from globalization, but their regimes have all failed to evolve politically to meet their expectations. Corruption has become the main explanation for failures in government performance, for networks of patrons and clients subverting fair competition, and for billions of Euro in disappearing public funds, national or foreign assistance income. The economic crisis exposed the hypocrisy of rich countrieswhich control corruption at home but use it to advance their economic interests abroad. The rise in the last two decades of an international anti-corruption regime only raised awareness but failed so far to diminish corruption. There is increasing demand for good governance resulting in quality education and health systems, and denunciation of sheer bread and circus populism. Briefly put, governments unable to control corruption cannot get away with organizing football World Cups anymore. Volume 2 of the Anticorruption Report tackles these issues across key cases and developments.…
