The Transformational Bureaucracy

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In a world facing unprecedented challenges, from climate change to economic inequality, the need for effective and efficient government has never been greater. Yet, many bureaucracies are struggling to keep up with the demands of the 21st century. They are often seen as slow, unresponsive, and inefficient. They are also often unable to adapt to changing circumstances or to implement new ideas.

But there is a better way. Transformational bureaucracies are a new type of bureaucracy that is designed to be flexible, adaptive, and innovative. They are able to respond quickly to changing needs, and they are constantly looking for new and better ways to serve the public.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of transformational bureaucracies. It explores the key elements of these bureaucracies and shows how they are able to overcome the challenges that traditional bureaucracies face. It also provides real-world examples of transformational bureaucracies that are making a difference in the lives of their citizens.

Readers will learn about the role of leadership in transformational bureaucracies, the importance of engaging stakeholders, and the need for process improvement and innovation. They will also learn about the importance of performance measurement and accountability.

By the end of this book, readers will have a clear understanding of what transformational bureaucracies are and how they can be used to improve the performance of government. They will also be inspired by the stories of real-world bureaucracies that are making a difference in the lives of their citizens.

This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the future of government. It is also a valuable resource for practitioners who are working to improve the performance of bureaucracies.

Blowback - The Untold Story of...

Margaret Roberts

What if everything we know about one of America's darkest days is wrong? 
 
 
 
Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America's Heartland, killing 168 people, including fifteen children. History says the Oklahoma City bombing was lone wolf terrorism. But haunting fresh evidence points instead to a neo-Nazi plot in which the FBI played a hidden role. 
 
 
 
The FBI launched the biggest manhunt in its history for two suspected bombers. Yet they never captured the other suspect, known only as John Doe 2, who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon, the FBI canceled the search, saying eyewitnesses who saw John Doe 2 were mistaken. 
 
 
 
None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. How could twenty witnesses be wrong? 
 
 
 
More troubling clues lead Roberts to reopen the mystery of John Doe 2 before the thirtieth anniversary of America's deadliest domestic terror attack. Blowback chronicles her shocking discoveries, including journalism's only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh coconspirator Terry Nichols. Roberts puts the puzzle together after a whistleblower steps forward, though one burning mystery remains. Is John Doe 2 the FBI's guilty secret?

Hope & Despair

Neil Findlay

Is Scottish politics mired in a constitutional dogfight with no end in sight?
Why has Scottish Labour failed to develop a radical and credible alternative to independence?
Is it possible for a campaigning politician to make a difference?
Can people power lead to positive change?
Over the last few years, political campaigner and former Labour msp Neil Findlay kept a log of his time in the Scottish Parliament, a time which he describes as one of perpetual crisis and scandal.

This book is my account of being an elected politician. My comments convey my feelings and emotions as events unfolded. If they cause upset to some, then so be it. I can only report the truth.
There is little doubt the tectonic plates of Scottish politics are shifting. Is this a time of hope or of despair? Time will tell. As a socialist, I am an optimist and live in hope and have a belief that tomorrow will always be better than today.

Codebreakers - How Allied...

Sage Winters

The art of codebreaking has long been an essential aspect of warfare, serving as a hidden weapon that can change the course of history. During World War II, intelligence efforts were not only about gathering information; they were about deciphering the secrets encoded by the enemy to gain a strategic advantage. As technology evolved, so did the complexity of military ciphers, making the task of breaking enemy codes more challenging and more critical than ever. "Codebreakers: How Allied Intelligence Cracked Enemy Codes and the Tide" delves into the extraordinary efforts of Allied cryptographers, whose tireless work behind the scenes helped secure victories that shifted the balance of the war.
The importance of cryptography in World War II cannot be overstated. The ability to read an enemy’s messages before they had time to act was a decisive factor in numerous key battles and campaigns. The German Enigma machine, a sophisticated encryption device, represented the pinnacle of Nazi Germany’s efforts to protect its communications. Breaking this code was essential to the Allied success, and it was a challenge that seemed insurmountable at the time. However, a group of brilliant minds, including Alan Turing, led the charge in deciphering the Enigma cipher, providing the Allies with invaluable intelligence that allowed them to anticipate German movements, thwart attacks, and save countless lives.
At the heart of this monumental achievement was Bletchley Park, a secret British facility that became the epicenter of codebreaking during the war. Here, the brightest mathematicians, linguists, and engineers worked tirelessly, often under immense pressure, to crack the German and later the Japanese codes.

Civil Wars - A Very Short...

Monica Duffy Toft

Civil wars are the most common form of large-scale political violence. In the past thirty years, the study of civil wars has been one of the largest growing segments of the international relations field. Their causes are complex, ranging from fights over access to housing, jobs, and land or other resources, to political contests over offices, rights, and representation. Groups form, collapse, coalesce, align and realign, and then fight amongst themselves. Governments themselves change through elections, coups, military defeats, or revolutions. Understanding the origins of civil wars and their trajectories therefore demands some appreciation of the economic, political, social, cultural, and geographic order of societies. If there is one factor that best predicts why a civil war erupts, it is a prior civil war. That is why knowledge of a country's history of political violence, and associated narratives about who is to blame and why, are critical to understanding where a civil war might next occur. We now have a better understanding of the conditions under which civil wars generally emerge, how the fighting evolves, and how civil wars end. However, historical understanding—the human dimensions—remain every bit as critical. This book explores current debates on civil wars and how the reasons for fighting (and the nature of belligerents themselves) are changing.
