Government funding of e-collaboration research in both the US and EU seems to be growing. In the EU, a key initiative to promote governmental investment in e-collabo-ration research is the Collaboration@Work initiative. This initiative is one of the EU’s Information Society Technologies Directorate General’s main priorities. In the US, government investment in e-collaboration research is channeled through several gov-ernment branches and organizations, notably the National Science Foundation. There are key differences in the approaches used for government funding of e-collaboration research in the EU and US. Some of these differences are discussed here, as well as related implications.

Funding Cuts

Canada’s settlement sector underwent substantial changes in December 2010. Settlement agencies experienced significant cutbacks from the federal government, which has created a climate of uncertainty as to how these agencies will sustain themselves if cuts continue to occur. This paper aims to analyze a model of funding that has gained popularity in recent years. I analyze the concept of social entrepreneurship, which brings together the private, voluntary, and public spheres and allows agencies to become less reliant on government funding. After a deep investigation I explore whether this concept is a possible solution to deal with the consequences of funding cuts.

Funding Cuts

This study focuses on the importance of ethno-specific immigrant settlement service agencies (ISSAs) for Afghan newcomers, in particular, refugees, and investigates the impact of Canadian government funding cuts on their services in Ontario. Based on secondary data, organizations’ archival documents and multi-lingual literature, this research presents the impact of funding cuts on services and service users through a case study of the Afghan Women’s Organization (AWO) and the Afghan Association of Ontario (AAO). This research demonstrates that the 2010 sweeping funding cuts terminated AAO’s programs, and consistent funding cuts have limited the AWO’s programs. Service users, too, confirm the lack of linguistic and culturally competent services, impacting their settlement and integration. This research is guided by the politics of recognition theoretical framework and strives to inform governmental policy, leading to access and provision of essential settlement services for newcomers.

Government Shutdown

Subject The likely course of political fights in September. Significance Amid a climate of partisan tensions and conflicting presidential ambitions, the United States could experience a government shutdown when the fiscal year ends on September 30. Eighteen Republican congressmen have said that they will not vote for any budget that does not cut off funds to Planned Parenthood, a health-services provider. Such a budget would not pass the Senate or be signed by the president, allowing, as in 2013, partisan disagreement on a single issue to shut down much of the federal government. Impacts The impact on US credibility would be significant and contribute to an image to its allies of a dysfunctional government. Nonetheless, it would not break alliances, as many governments, such as those in the Gulf and South-east Asia, have few other options. However, it would encourage allies to hedge, taking more accommodative positions in Asia and belligerent ones in the Middle East.

Funding Cuts

In recent years there has been a rally to ‘save’ the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). This paper explores the assumptions about the national broadcaster which often inform such rescue attempts. The ABC seems to have entered a state of ‘perpetual crisis ‘following government funding cuts, political accusations of bias, issues of structural change and the Mansfield inquiry. Even more than usual, the identity, functions and future of the national broadcaster have become a public issue. While fully supporting a strong national public broadcaster as a space for public contestation, I argue that saving the ABC should not render it ‘safe’, returning it to some prior privileged state and established identity. Rather, drawing on an ‘agonistic model of democratic politics’. I argue that the ABC needs to be conceptualised as a site which produces ‘dilemmatic space’ and that the crises of the ABC are those which necessarily constitute the institution as a public broadcaster.
