Sinopse

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.

Children's Rights - A Global...

Marcus Klein

Children represent the future of our societies, yet they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized populations worldwide. The protection of children's rights has become one of the most critical global issues in the 21st century, demanding urgent attention and action. While significant progress has been made in raising awareness of children's rights, millions of children still suffer from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and deprivation. This complex and multifaceted issue requires an in-depth understanding of the challenges children face, as well as the actions needed to safeguard their well-being.
At the core of children's rights is the belief that every child, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, or economic background, deserves to grow up in an environment where they can thrive. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, set the stage for international human rights legislation, but it was the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), adopted in 1989, that provided a comprehensive framework for child protection. This treaty, ratified by nearly every nation, outlines civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights for children, recognizing their right to life, education, protection from violence, and participation in the decisions that affect their lives.
However, despite these legal frameworks, violations of children's rights continue at an alarming rate. Poverty, armed conflict, lack of access to education, child labor, and human trafficking are among the many issues that continue to affect children around the world. These issues often intersect and exacerbate one another, creating a cycle of vulnerability that is difficult to break. It is essential that global efforts to protect children are strengthened, and that all sectors of society—from governments to NGOs to the private sector—work together to ensure the full realization of children's rights.

How I Found the Lost Atlantis!...

Dr. Paul Schliemann

The article on which this audio book is based was published in the 'New York American' on October 20th, 1912.  
The author, Dr. Paul Schliemann, was the grandson of Heinrich Schliemann (1822 - 1890), a founder of modern archaeology. In this famous archaeological hoax he makes outrageous and sensational claims about the lost continent Atlantis, and his grandfather’s research.  
The text was written in an age when many of the Victorian adventure writers, like H. Rider Haggard in Britain, Emilio Salgari in Italy and Karl May in Germany topped reading lists. In 1912, the jungle calls of Tarzan echoed through American pulp magazines for the very first time.  
Paul Schliemann capitalizes on the contemporary craze for his grandfather’s archaeological discoveries, for lost worlds and legendary characters like the queen of Sheba and Prester John. Since 1907, Howard Carter had been excavating in Egypt, and in 1922 Carter made his historical discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun. 
Paul Schliemann’s article is highly entertaining, and features passages reminiscent of Indiana Jones. Michael Henrik Wynn, the editor of the educational net radio stream Historyradio.org, gives a spirited performance of what has become a classic and much loved hoax in archaeological circles.
