Most stakeholders from Asia have not actively participated in the global Internet governance debate. This debate has been shaped by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers(ICANN) since 198 and the UN Internet Governance Forum (IGF) since 2006. Neither ICANN nor IGF are well received as global public policy negotiation platforms by stakeholders in Asia, but more and more stakeholders in Europe and the United States take both platforms seriously. Stakeholders in Internet governance come from the private sector and civil society as well as the public sector.

Abstract Corruption is a recurring phenomenon throughout history, so different conceptions seek to formulate a concept that defines it. This theoretical essay aims to introduce a perspective that broadens the understanding of corruption beyond the currents of thought that prevail in studies about Brazilian public administration. This study indicates that the epistemic reconstruction of the meaning of corruption should derive from the conception of public interest as a result of deliberative processes between citizens and the State. Such perspective contributes to the debate about the importance of participation of the civil society in controlling corruption and creating public interest itself. This study also highlights that more efficient control is not only restricted to legislation reforms but it also relies on the enhancement civic virtues.

This article contributes to the emerging body of knowledge on the role of the private sector in knowledge brokering in international development because very little is known about the role of the private sector. It attempts to validate the findings of the only literature review to date (Kiwanuka et al, In Press) on the subject and other literature on knowledge brokering by consulting international experts in the field of knowledge brokering, identifying policy and research implications. The conceptual lens employed is the ‘extended’ Glegg and Hoens’ (2016) meta-framework of knowledge brokering, in combination with the cognitive, relational and structural aspects of social capital (Nahapiet and Ghoshal 1998). An online questionnaire survey was distributed to international experts in both the private, public and civil society sectors with some 203 respondents. The questions were developed on the basis of the literature. Respondents from the private sector and their colleagues from the public sector and civil society placed considerable emphasis on opportunities to meet, the existence of personal relationships and brokering by third parties as catalysts to working with the private sector. In addition to developing recommendations for policymakers, the paper has added to the emerging body of academic knowledge on the private sector as an unusual suspect in knowledge brokering and provides a conceptual framework linking social capital to knowledge brokering roles. Policymakers and funders can facilitate cooperation between the private sector and other development actors by creating physical spaces and funding instruments to encourage collaboration with the private sector. One of the novel findings is that the public sector needs to be better prepared to collaborate with the private sector.

The issues presented at the beginning related to the separation of entrepreneurship in the public sector; emphasis was put on the need for co-operation between the public sector and non-profit organisations as a condition of the development of public entrepreneurship. Then the models of co-operation of the public sector and non-profit organisations in the UK, Canada, Estonia and Poland were characterised. In consequence of the conducted discourse, postulates and recommendations were presented with regard to building efficient and effective co-operation between the public administration and the sector of non-profit organisations and its role in the development of public entrepreneurship.

<p>This study aimed at investigating the concept of national identity and its constituents as perceived by Jordanian youth. Its main question is about the identity we have nowadays. The study sought to understand and analyze the concept of identity and its subjective and objective constituents through the identification of the perceptions of Jordanian youth of the identity by realizing its constituents, following the approach of social field studies and through some simple statistical analyses based on a sample which consisted of (250) young university people. They were asked about national identity and its most prominent constituents through the method of international sample. After analyzing the results, the study concluded the following:</p> <p><strong>First</strong>:   Jordanian youth consider identity as the perception of membership to both Jordan and the tribe and devotion to the political regime as being the protector of this identity and its connection with their living place and way of upbringing.</p> <p><strong>Second</strong>: The most prominent constituent of identity is the regional dimension with (62%), followed by the national dimension (21%), and finally the religions dimension (17%).</p> <p><strong>Third</strong>: The study concluded the result that there is confusion among Jordanian youth in regard to the constituents of identity, its local and national concept and the degree of perception.</p> <p>The study recommended the necessity for the preparation of joint programs between the public sector and the institutions of civil society in order to create common distributors within the Jordanian collective sensation for one identity that reinforces membership to both society and identity simultaneously.</p>

Organizational culture is interpreted as a component of social management; the basic integralcharacteristic of which is an ordered system of values, representations, beliefs and normative patterns ofbehavior that provides optimal internal integration and external adaptation of an organization or socialinstitution. It is proved that public and non-governmental organizations act as voluntary associations ofcitizens aimed at achieving socially significant goals, realizing their own and collective needs withoutprofit, indicating the existence of a certain or ganizational structure.Transparent society is associated with the notion of democratic transit, which can be defined as apolitical process taking place in the existing legal state of the state and accompanied by a break in theinstitutes of the emerging political regime, the establishment and strengthening of a broad network ofdemocratic institutions of civil society and the strengthening of democratic functions of state powerstructures. Institutions of civil society in a transitive society are more adaptable to social transformations,creating the foundation for the formation of a democratic syste m of social governance.The structural components of organizational culture of the public sector of society are singled out:1) societal components (identity, archetypes of the leader); 2) value-normative components (values,organizational values and norms); 3) organizational and managerial components of organizational culture(style of management in the organization, structure of communication, socio-psychological climate). On the basis of the results of the sociological survey structural and informative features of organizationalculture in the public sector of Ukrainian society in the condit ions of democratic transit were revealed:1) in the measurement of societal components - the domination of social identity against the backdropof the strengthening of societal identity, the dominance of the creative functional in the archetype ofthe leader; 2) in the value-normative dimension - a relatively integrated value system, an orientationto the human resource and quality, the moral-psychological and communicative basis of social norms;3) in the measurement of organizational and managerial relations - the democratic and situational style ofmanagement, the average level of openness of information flows, positive socio-psychological climate.It has been determined that the development of civil society is an indicator of the democratic natureof social governance in the state, although it has certain differences in the possibilities of identifying,participating in the adoption of management decisions and their control in various sectors of society: thestate (especially in the field of management), commercial and private. Thus, democratic organizationalculture reflects the value-normative system of organizational-managerial relations of a democratic type ofsocial governance.

This chapter explores how courts in the United Kingdom have used and interpreted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by analysing the seventy-five cases mentioning the CRPD prior to June 2016. These cases are unevenly spread—in geography and in subject matter. In a significant number of these cases, civil society organisations and equality bodies supported disabled litigants (eg through third party interventions). The Public Sector Equality Duty has been construed as giving judges very little power to use the CRPD to hold public sector bodies to account. The CRPD was used as an interpretive aid only in connection with understanding how ECHR and EU law should be understood in the domestic context—suggesting that, were ECHR and EU law no longer to be part of United Kingdom law, the CRPD would play a greatly diminished role in guiding case law in the United Kingdom.

The present paper introduces and compares two alternative perspectives on hybridity. One is the perspective of hybrids being located at the interface of dominant ‘sectors’ such as the private for-profit sector, the public sector and the civil society or nonprofit sector. The alternative perspective focuses on a combination of sector-specific governance mechanisms. The paper discusses the characteristics as well as the advantages and disadvantages of those two perspectives and what a combination of both implies for further research with an emphasis on the analysis of organizational pathologies and managerial coping.
