Review Governance and Economic Development: A Comparative Institutional Approach (New Thinking in Political Economy) / Edward Elgar Pub:The main theme of this study is the political economy of policy reform in less developed countries and post-socialist countries. Given the complexity of economic development and transition, Ahrens views failures in policy reform, poor public sector management, rent-seeking, corruption and over-centralization as systematic, though not exclusive, instances of institutional failure. This interdisciplinary study looks for ways of constructing effective market-enhancing governance structures that provide appropriate incentive systems to cope with such failures. No blueprint is offered, but the book provides a conceptual governance framework that can be applied in a comparative way to ananlyse economic, political and social obstacles to policy and institutional reform. The concept is not only used to analyse the politico-institutional foundation of policy reform in East Asia and Eastern Europe, but it also allows elaboration of country specific stategies to craft institutional safeguards that help overcome impediments to development and transition.

Review The Governance of Place / Ashgate Pub Ltd:A dramatic change of political and economic contexts has brought forward the need for spatial planning systems and practices to go through some substantial changes, so as to assert its position or to define a new role for itself. This work argues that the new ways of "doing governance" need to be linked to new ways of thinking about space, place and territory, if spatial planning systems are to be transformed into valuable governance activities in the 21st century. The aims of the book are, therefore, to discuss some of the new ways of understanding space; to explore, in an international context, some of the new ways of engaging in governance processes by spatial planning systems; and take some tentative steps towards bringing these two discursive realms together.

Review 12 Steps to Robust Decisions: Building Consensus in Product Development and Business / Trafford Publishing:This is a book of techniques to help you make robust decisions. It focuses on how to make the best possible choice with the knowledge, people, and time available. It provides methods that help answer four key questions, asked either consciously or unconsciously, every time a decision is made: * What is the best alternative? * Do we know enough to make a good decision yet? * What do we need to do next to feel confident about our decision within our limited resources? * Is there team consensus about the decision? It makes no difference what subject the problem addresses; the questions above still apply and generally are not easy to answer. Often, the quality of the decision is only revealed by the passage of time, and then it is too late to change the decision. This book is focused on helping us answer these questions as part of the decision-making process, not as a post-mortem to a poor decision. Readers of this book may be searching for one or more of the following: * They need rationality in the decision-making process to demonstrate that a decision was reached objectively. * They want a traceable and demonstrable logic trail. * They want to measure risk in selecting an option. * They want to measure benefit of performing additional work that may improve the choice. * They want to provide the team with a structure for building a shared vision. [+]* They have people from different backgrounds and viewpoints on the team and want to insure that all voices are heard. * They need to manage uncertain, inconsistent and conflicting information. Consensus is important in this book as evidenced by the name of the supporting computer program, Accord. Instructions for how to download a free demonstration version of Accord are given in the book. The methods presented in this book will help make your decisions more robust with or without the use of Accord. Robust Decision-Making is a method for developing a common vision and solution much like what is suggested in books on teamwork. However, there is a major difference between this book and those on teamwork. Teamwork books tend to tell what a team should do, whereas this book and Accord give steps for how to do it.

Review Kings, Country and Constitutions: Thailand's Political Development 1932-2000 / RoutledgeCurzon:Provides a detailed analysis of Thailand's political development since 1932, when Thailand became a constitutional monarchy, until the present. It examines the large number of different versions of the constitution, which Thailand has had since 1932, and explains why the constitution has been subject to such frequent change, and why there have been so many outbursts of violent, political unrest. It explores the role of the military, and, most importantly, discusses the role of the monarchy, which, as the author shows, has been crucial in holding Thailand together through the various changes of regime. The author brings to light original and largely unseen documents from the Public Records Office and US National Archives, as well as drawing upon her extensive knowledge of politics in Thailand.
