After reviewing the provisions of the Alberta Gas Utilities Act, particularly the recent amendments thereto, the author submits inter alia, that the Alberta Public Utilities Board, despite s. 28(2) of the Public Utilities Board Act and s. 27 of the Gas Utilities Act, may not have the power to set producer or wholesale prices of natural gas, propane and butane where these products are not intended for use and consumption within the province, because such regulation is matter for the Federal Government pursuant to its jurisdiction over extra-provincial trade. As well, the author examines generally the practice, procedure and jurisdiction of the Alberta Public Utilities Board.

This paper is part of the third and final study conducted on the state of internal audit in the public sector of Malaysia. The first study was concerned with the internal audit operations in the state and local governments found in  Peninsular Malaysia (Azham et al 2007a), while the second study was concerned with internal audit in the nation’s federal government ministries, departments and agencies (Azham et al 2007b). This third study covers 47 organizations at the federal government level, comprising 27 statutory bodies and 20 government-linked companies. From the face-to-face interviews conducted with internal auditors over the three year period 2005 to 2007, several notable audit features emerged as common to all 47 organizations. Some are depressing, while a few others are encouraging. All in all, however, the internal audit function in a majority of the organizations still leaves much to be desired. Also, it is notable that these findings are very much like those of the previous two internal audit studies (Azham et al 2007a; 2007b), and to make sense of the dismal state of the internal audit function in the public organizations, there is perhaps a need to look at the bigger context within which the internal audit function is found.

The Impact

For much of last century it was taken for granted in many countries that it was the duty of the State to care for its citizens ‘from cradle to grave’: to provide education, pensions, medical services, and public utilities, and to hold out a safety net for the less fortunate so that they had food, shelter, and the other necessaries of life. Since the late 1970s, however, these functions of the State have been put in question by the worldwide march towards privatization. The privatization movement was said to be a response to budget deficits and mounting public debt, perceived inefficiencies in government operations, and a loss of faith in the ability of governments in the developed world to meet the expectations of their citizenry of an ever-increasing standard of living. This article discusses the influence of economic theory on the privatization movement; the impact of changes in the economy (namely, the privatization movement) on law, particularly legal scholarship; the meaning of privatization; the public/private law divide; and privatization in the UK; corporatization and public sector reforms; deregulation; and contracting out.

Privately Owned

This chapter addresses Article XXV of the Colorado Constitution, which governs public utilities. Added in 1954, the article grants the general assembly authority, which it had lacked, to regulate privately owned public utilities operating in home rule cities. It also affirms the general assembly’s power over privately owned utilities located elsewhere in the state and its authority over the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). A bit unusual is the article’s delegation to the PUC of full legislative discretion until the general assembly provides otherwise. This gave the PUC rather open-ended powers for a short time. The general assembly has now preempted the field with specific legislation. Meanwhile, Article XXV’s last phrase states that it does not “apply to municipally owned utilities.” This preserves immunity from legislative, and thus PUC, control.

Basic Level

La Reforma Educativa de 2013 originó una creciente resistencia de los maestros del nivel básico a su aplicación y un fuerte cuestionamiento a su fundamentación educativa, proveniente de diferentes grupos de académicos. A tres años de su decreto, las acciones de rechazo se sostienen y el conflicto entre maestros y el gobierno federal no muestra señales de resolución. El propósito del presente artículo es realizar una comparación de la gestión en las reformas educativas consumadas en 1993 y 2013. Para ello, se fundamenta teóricamente la relación del Estado y el sector educativo, se reconstruyen las acciones de gobierno al implementar las reformas, el manejo de los brotes de rechazo y su perfil de atención. La comparación, revela diferencias en la articulación de las reformas, en los instrumentos de política educativa, en las estrategias de consulta a la sociedad y, fundamentalmente, en las formas de negociar los contenidos y su ejecución con el gremio magisterial, situación que desencadenó la escalada de oposición a la reforma de Peña Nieto.AbstractThe Educational Reform of 2013 originated an increasing resistance of the teachers of the basic level to his application and a strong question to his educational foundation from different groups of academicians.

The Way

This article is concerned with a closer investigation of the growing tendency for the state to intervene in contemporary party politics. It examines two trends. First, it looks more closely at the increased levels of regulation of party activity and behaviour in European democracies, discussing the empirical practice as well as the underlying normative paradigms of party regulation. Second, it examines the increased availability of public funding to political parties from a comparative perspective, while also exploring the motivations for its introduction in light of particular understandings of party democracy. It is argued that both dimensions constitute part of the way in which parties have strengthened their linkages with the state in recent years, and that parties, as a result of the increased involvement of the state in their internal affairs and external behaviour, have become increasingly defined as public utilities or semi-state agencies.
