The value of environmental services provided by the forest is enormous, and is likely to increase in the future. Very high figures are quoted by researchers. The sums involved have led forest owners and forest practitioners alike to hope that in the end non-wood products and services provided by the forest could begin to bring some returns into the forestry accounts. Many arguments can, however, be brought to speak against this idea. Taking into account the socio-economic characteristics of the country, its traditions and the legal bases for these, any benefits from the public services provided by the forest are likely to continue to evade Swiss forest owners in the near future. In spite of this fact, in the more distant future, a payment for these public services could presumably be shown to be profitable to all concerned.

Financial Contributions

In Switzerland, payments to forest owners and enterprises compensating the costs of forestry measures for protecting houses and infrastructure from natural hazards – and thus providing benefits to the public – are now better than for other non-wood products and services. With the new system of Redistribution of Income and Responsibilities between the Confederation and the cantons (NFA), not only the financial contributions and the procedures between Confederation and cantons have been adapted. In Canton Berne, the entity responsible for the safety of the object to be protected (“Safety Agency”) is now included in the decision making process and the financing. Where housing is concerned, the communal authorities usually act as Safety Agency, where infrastructure is concerned the owner or operating authority. The Forestry Service of Canton Berne defines the procedures, advises the forest owners and Safety Agency, and provides public funding when the requirements are met. Forest owners and Safety Agency agree on the services to be provided and the remaining funding. The financial contributions of Confederation, cantons and Safety Agency do not compensate the forest owner for the protective effect of his forest, but for the actual dispositive and operative services provided. These need to be furnished in an efficient and transparent way. Forest enterprises must also be able to make profits with the management of protection forests. Covering costs alone is not a sufficient incentive to ensure that the necessary measures are carried out in the long term.

This chapter aims to reflect on the past and present move of OM from manufacturing to service through analysis of key OM journals and recognition of practice before considering in more depth the future of OM in terms of the ‘fit’ for public services. It offers an analysis of ‘lean’ in public services. A philosophy and methodology much hailed as way to manage operations effectively. The review will present the prespective that uncritically applying manufacturing ideas to public service is flawed. It argues that adapting OM to the public service environment whilst, learning from existing thinking, should also recognise themselves as services, with the distinctive service operations management logic and managerial challenges that this implies. In conclusion, the chapter will state that managing operations across all sectors in the future should draw on a range of disciplines, theory and concepts.

At a time when public education and reform agendas are changing the way we approach education, this book critically examines the key issues facing the public with implications for education policy makers, professionals and researchers. Drawing on empirical evidence gathered over 20 years, the book confronts current issues about social justice and segregation. The book uses Arendtian ideas to help the reader to ‘think politically’ about education and how and why public services education can be reimagined for the future.

AbstractAccording to the Democratic Stability Argument, since currently existing democratic states are overwhelmingly likely to play a leading role in the establishment of a just cosmopolitan order, should one ever be established, there are moral reasons to take measures that are necessary to preserve the adequate functioning of these states. If large-scale immigration can undermine their adequate functioning, then immigration restrictions are justified even from a cosmopolitan perspective, under non-ideal conditions. This paper argues that this argument may not succeed in justifying immigration restrictions under current conditions. Properly understood, the problem involves the competing claims of current poor admission-seekers and of the global poorest at some point in the future, i. e. the earliest feasible date of the establishment of the cosmopolitan order. The paper invokes normative arguments suggesting that the claims of the poorest in the distant future do not have lexical priority as a matter of principle. It also argues that available empirical estimates imply that the claims of admission-seekers in the present and near future potentially outcompete the claims of the poorest in the distant future. These considerations point towards a specification of the Democratic Stability Argument rather than to its complete rejection.

Purpose – Highlights the importance of looking at both the near and distant future. Design/methodology/approach – Observes that different kinds of people treat and use the future differently and considers how to use the more useful elements of the future. Findings – Charts the approaches taken towards the future by the dreamer, the realist, the business planner and the host and outlines the advantages of leading like a host. Practical implications – Considers how host views the horizon, the area just before the horizon, the future and the very near future. Social implications – Accepts that we do not fully know what is going to happen in the future, but that does not mean people should focus only on the near (and therefore most “knowable”) future. Originality/value – Advances the view that having a good idea of the first signs of progress can be particularly useful in cases where the next steps are not obvious or seem tough or uncertain – rapid feedback will be useful in letting us know that what we are doing.

AbstractThe setting and possible future of the petroleum industry in the Netherlands is briefly discussed. The result of a risk assessment shows, that the Dutch hydrocarbon province can be divided in low, medium, high and very high-risk areas for new capital investments. The assets of operators in the Netherlands have been evaluated on exploration, production, storage and pipeline potential, now and in the future. Despite the presence of potential new plays, exploration activities are expected to decrease in the near future. Despite the possible development of marginal fields, which will be not adding major reserves, the production reserves will decrease in the next 10–15 years and many fields will be abandoned. However storage, pipeline infrastructure and gas marketing are expected to increase in the future, mainly because of the liberalisation of the Dutch gas market.

It is an essential feature of merit bureaucracy that there must exist within the institutional framework of government some method of guaranteeing that fixed standards of recruitment, promotion, and discipline are applied without discrimination to all members, or potential members, of the public services. In the Federation of Malaya, as in most Commonwealth countries, institutional machinery intended to satisfy this requirement of merit bureaucracy takes the form of public service commissions. It is the purpose of this study to trace the development of these institutions in Malaya, to outline briefly the organization, composition, and procedures of the commissions, to point out social and political factors in Malaya which affect the application of the principles underlying the institutional machinery, and to comment on the future of the service commissions in the Federation.

Direct Investigation

Public services are the key to running a perfect government in the framework of the obligation to serve its citizens. In practice, we often encounter complicated problems from the start to the end. So that this bureaucratic process becomes long, inefficient, and expensive. A fast and precise process is needed so that the public service process will be better in the future. One of the causes of not optimal public services in Indonesia is due to inadequate supervision of internal government. Finally, supervisory agencies have become important in their existence in Indonesia, both for direct investigation and following up on reports from the public. After conducting an investigation, the Ombudsman of the Republic of Indonesia will issue a recommendation if it is proven that the public service institution has committed maladministration. However, many question whether these recommendations are being followed. Then whether the recommendation is sufficient as a sanction for maladministration is still in question. This certainty is important to ensure that the government's performance remains prime and fully pro-people.  Keywords : Public Services, Bureaucracy, Public Service Supervisory Agency, Maladministration
