Summary

Policy Implementation explores why well-intentioned government policies often fail by examining the journey from policy creation to enforceable law. It scrutinizes government agencies and the challenges they face, offering insights into how policies are translated into action. The book highlights the bureaucratic processes involved, such as potential bottlenecks and conflicting mandates within agencies, and external factors like public opinion and interest groups that can either help or hinder policy objectives. Understanding these elements is crucial, as neglecting any can lead to policy failures; for example, a policy might be well-designed but fail due to lack of public support.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with foundational concepts and theoretical frameworks. It then delves into case studies from areas like environmental regulation and healthcare reform, analyzing successes and failures. By integrating empirical research, government documents, and expert opinions, the book provides a nuanced understanding of implementation challenges. One key insight is how economic incentives and social norms can influence policy compliance, showcasing the interdisciplinary nature of policy implementation. This approach helps policymakers and students understand the intricacies of governance.

 
Ultimately, Policy Implementation offers practical recommendations for improving policy implementation strategies, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and mitigating unintended consequences. It stands out by not only describing problems but also providing concrete solutions, making it valuable for students, practitioners, and informed citizens interested in the inner workings of government.

    The silence on the genocidal situation in Gaza is questionable. How can we explain the double standard when we compare the - legitimate - indignation provoked by the Russian bombing of the Ukraine with the omerta surrounding the bombing of a civilian population under blockade? Beyond the problem of certain community institutions, there is a cocktail of feelings of guilt, cultural solidarity, fear of or hostility to Islam, a threat of terrorism linked to Islam, colonial memories that have not been properly digested, and adherence to the concept of the clash of civilizations, which explains the widespread support in the media and among politicians for the actions of the Israeli government. The aim of this book is to analyze this genocidal situation and to show that this guilty silence is a strategic error for France and, more generally, for Western countries.

    Party People - Candidates and...

    Candidates are the literal "face" of political parties, yet they are not wedded to them permanently: candidates can enter or leave politics, switch parties, move along or stay behind when parties split or merge. Even in parties that look stable, candidate change happens below the surface, ultimately altering what the parties stand for. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as "party genes" and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens up new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on a new database of 200,000 electoral candidates from over sixty elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. Allan Sikk and Philipp Köker offer a series of methodological and conceptual advances for the measurement of candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leadership change; the resulting analyses make a significant contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change.

    Has Vladimir Putin become the master of the game? Why and how did the Russian President decide to attack Ukraine? Did he seek to prevent Ukraine from associating with Europe? Does he seek to reconstitute the USSR? Did NATO promise not to expand east after 1990? Is the Nord Stream 2 project the sinews of war? Is Ukraine's neutrality the only solution? Has Russia ever lost or won the war?... Based on the files of the intelligence services and official reports, Jacques Baud thus reviews the events of the recent history of Russia, which led to the war with Ukraine; it analyzes the various disputes between the West and Russia, and sheds light on the role that Putin plays today on the international scene. Colonial Jacques Baud is a former member of the Swiss Strategic Intelligence, a specialist in Eastern Europe and former head of Doctrine of the United Nations Peace Operations. Within NATO, he was involved in programs in Ukraine, including after the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and 2017. He is the author of several books on intelligence, war and terrorism, including Putin, Game master?, Governing by Fake News and The Navalny Affair, all published by Max Milo.

    Claremont Institute scholar Edward J. Erler argues that, to preserve our dwindling individual freedoms, Americans must mount a defense of the nation state against the encroaching progressive forces of global governance. 
The United States in Crisis: Citizenship, Immigration, and the Nation State argues that to preserve our freedom Americans must mount a defense of the nation state against the progressive forces who advocate for global government. The Founders of America were convinced that freedom would flourish only in a nation state. A nation state is a collection of citizens who share a commitment to the same principles. Today, the nation state is under attack by the progressive Left, who allege that it is the source of almost every evil in the world.

    Through centuries of oppression, we were tenants in our own land.
Today, despite our independence and new-found affluence, we are in the midst of a crisis.
The question of who owns Ireland is once again taking on a sense of urgency. Is the land of Ireland still for the people of Ireland?
In a deep and far-reaching investigation, journalist, broadcaster and No. 1 bestselling author Matt Cooper examines the power wielded by those who control the land where we live, work and play. Who are they, how did they acquire so much and what does it mean for ordinary citizens when the ownership of key resources like shopping centres, wind farms, forestry and data centres comes from outside?
This is a story about how power and money influence and control the present and the future of Ireland … sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. Filled with riveting detail, this compelling story of who really owns Ireland is an essential account of the issues that affect every single one of us living on this island.
