Laburpena: Globalizazioak eta teknologia bat-batean sartzeak aldaketa azkarrak eragin dituzte, eta horiek jarduera ekonomikoaren sektore guztiei eragiten diete. Horiek horrela, sistema publikoek erronka garrantzitsuei egin beharko diete aurre. Aldaketa horietako batzuek berekin dakartzaten kanpo-efektu negatiboen ondorioz sortzen dira erronketako batzuk, edo, bestela, pertsonen eta gizarteen egonkortasuna, ziurtasuna eta babesa ahal den heinean sustatzeko beharraren ondorioz. Beste erronka batzuek, berriz, egoera berriek berekin dakartzaten aurrera egiteko aukera handiekin dute zerikusia, bai eta horiek baliatze aldera sektore publikoak hartu behar duen lidergo rol ordezkaezinarekin ere. Bi erronka-mota horiek administrazioa behartzen dute muturreko eta anbizio handiko berrikuntza-agenda bere gain hartzera. Agenda horren norainokoaren eraginez, sektore publikoak statu quoaren bereizgarri diren oinarrizko erakunde arteko akordioetako batzuk aztertu eta berriz diseinatu behar ditu. Lan honek aztertzen du zein diren egin beharreko oinarrizko eraldaketak, zer tresna behar diren esku hartzeko, eta zer dilema kudeatu behar diren. Horrez gain, gobernantza-ikuspegi berriaren funtsezko ezaugarriak aurkezten ditu. Eredu horrek aukera emango die gobernuei eta beren erakundeei esplorazioaren eta esperimentazioaren bidean murgiltzeko, eta sistema publikotik at kokatutako eragileekin lankidetzan aritzera irekitzeko, aldi berean gizarteari erantzuteko eta haren aurrean kontu emateko eskakizunen maila handiari eutsiz. Resumen: En el entorno de cambios acelerados que la globalización y la disrupción tecnológica han creado, y que afecta a todos los sectores de actividad económica, los sistemas públicos afrontan desafíos importantes. Una parte de esos desafíos dimanan de las externalidades negativas que algunos de esos cambios llevan consigo, y de la necesidad de proveer en lo posible de estabilidad, certidumbre y protección a las personas y a las sociedades. Otra parte tiene que ver con las enormes oportunidades de progreso que los nuevos escenarios traen consigo, y con el insustituible rol de liderazgo que el sector público está llamado a asumir para aprovecharlas. Ambos tipos de reto obligan a la Administración a asumir una agenda de innovación ambiciosa y radical. El alcance de esa agenda obliga al sector público a reconsiderar y rediseñar algunos de los arreglos institucionales básicos que caracterizan al statu quo actual. Este trabajo analiza las transformaciones básicas que resultan necesarias, el instrumental de intervención que exigen, y los dilemas que necesitarán ser gestionados. También presenta los rasgos básicos de un nuevo enfoque de gobernanza capaz de permitir a los gobiernos y sus organizaciones adentrarse en la vía de la exploración, la experimentación y la apertura a la colaboración con actores situados fuera del sistema público, manteniendo al mismo tiempo alta las exigencias de responder y rendir cuentas ante la sociedad. Abstract: Public administrations are facing major challenges within the milieu of accelerated changes generated by globalisation and technological disruption and that affected all economic sectors. A certain percentage of these challenges arise from the negative externalities of some of these changes, and the need to provide stability, certainty and protection to individuals and societies as much as possible. Another part of these challenges are linked to the huge opportunities for progress that go hand-in-hand with the new scenarios and the irreplaceable role of leadership taken by the public sector to take full advantage of them. Both types of .challenge have forced the Administration to undertake an ambitiously innovative and radical agenda The scope of this agenda has forced the public sector to rethink and redesign some of the basic institutional arrangements that characterise the status quo. This paper analyses the basic transformations necessary, the required instruments of intervention and the dilemmas that need to be managed. It also presents the basic features of a new governance approach capable of enabling governments and their organisations to pursue the path of exploration, experimentation and openness to collaboration with stakeholders outside of the public system, while also upholding the requirements to respond and be accountable to society.

Schumpeterian Approach

Abstract:Public entrepreneurship is commonly understood as the outcome of the activities of a Schumpeterian political innovator. However, empirical research suggests that changes to a more efficient economic policy, even if it is known and technically easy to implement, are usually delayed. This is difficult to reconcile with Schumpeterian notions of public entrepreneurship. In this paper, it is argued that the attempt to transfer a Schumpeterian approach to the public sector is fundamentally flawed. Institutional checks and balances that characterize most modern liberal democracies make the strategy of bold leadership an unlikely choice for an incumbent. If change occurs, it occurs normally as a response to the fact that the status quo has become untenable. From a normative point of view, it is argued that if public entrepreneurship nevertheless occurs, it will often be associated with unwanted consequences. A dismantling of formal institutional checks and balances is therefore not reasonable.

Abstract This article will examine the validity of existing assessment procedures in the UK and compare and contrast these models with other possible assessment and accreditation models. It will also examine the possibilities for quality assessment (QA) procedures offered by the use of digital technologies. Implicit in this descriptive and analytical process will be an examination of the linkages between these models of assessment and the opportunity for professional registration. Issues addressed in this article will be: the status quo in the assessment and registration of interpreters and translators for the public sector in the UK; the impact of new social, political and economic realities on the existing assessment and registration regime; the opportunities and/or threats to quality norms represented by online digital technologies. The material will be of particular interest to: end users of interpreter and translator services in the public sector; interpreting and translation test developers and QA procedure designers; interpreting and translating practitioners, in-service and aspiring

scholarly journals The “Public” of Richard Hooker’s Book 7 of the Laws: Stitching Together the Unjoined

Intellectual Skills

This article begins with the notion that a text can create and influence a “public,” that is, a group of individuals with common values and aspirations. Richard Hooker’s Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity (1594–1662) is the focus here; specifically, this article shows how book 7, which defends the prelacy, stitches together civil and ecclesiastical governors throughout the commonwealth in order to persuade this public not to embrace a Presbyterian ecclesiology and rid England of its bishops. Accordingly, Hooker’s text, composed with this public in mind, links together the nature and role of the civil and ecclesiastical by arguing that both are “of God,” by giving his public the intellectual skills to understand his defense of bishops, and by concentrating on public authority, public wisdom, and the public good which the magistrates must protect. Hooker’s goal is to encourage various estates to understand the threat to their power by the Presbyterian call for change. The hope is that the magisterial community, which runs the country and includes bishops, will consider the whole of the commonwealth and the value of the status quo before joining with the Presbyterians for change. Cet article se penche sur l’idée qu’un texte peut créer et influencer un « public », c’est-àdire, un groupe d’individus ayant en commun des valeurs et des aspirations. On explore cette hypothèse plus particulièrement à travers l’oeuvre de Richard Hooker intitulée Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity (1594–1662), et plus spécifiquement, en montrant comment le livre 7, qui défend la prélature, rassemble dirigeants civils et ecclésiastiques de la communauté afin de les dissuader d’adopter l’ecclésiologie presbytérienne ou de débarrasser l’Angleterre de ses évêques. Pour ce faire, le texte de Hooker, écrit avec ce public en tête, rapproche par la nature et par leur rôle le civil et l’ecclésiastique en avançant que les deux relèvent de Dieu, en fournissant à son public les connaissances intellectuelles nécessaires à la compréhension de sa défense des évêques, et en se concentrant sur l’autorité, la sagesse, et le bien commun publics que les magistrats doivent protéger. Le but visé par Hooker est d’encourager les diverses instances à comprendre la menace que constitue pour leur pouvoir l’appel presbytérien au changement. Il espère ainsi que toute la magistrature, qui dirige le pays et inclut les évêques, prendra en considération l’ensemble de la communauté et les mérites du statu quo avant de rejoindre les Presbytériens dans le mouvement pour le changement.

LABURPENA: Sektore publikoaren araubide juridikoari buruzko urriaren 1eko 40/2015 Legea administrazio-partzuergoen lege-araubidearen hirugarren erreforma da urte pare bateko epearen barruan, eta berriro aldatu du erakunde horien status quo delakoa. Azken erreforma hau, neurri handi batean, aurreko bi erreformen bategitea den arren, berritasun nabarmen batzuk ere ekarri ditu eta, horiekin batera, zenbait zuzenketa tekniko ere bai, guztiak ere lan honetan aztertu nahi izan direnak. Estatuko oinarrizko legerian sartu diren berritasunen artean bi behintzat azpimarratzekoak dira: bata da salbuespen bat sartu zaiola partzuergoko langileak berorretan parte hartzen duten Administrazioetatik datozenak soilik izan daitezkeela zioen arauari, eta bestea, partzuergoan sartzea ahalbidetzen zaien erakunde pribatuei jada ez zaiela eskatzen irabazi asmorik gabekoak izatea. RESUMEN: La Ley 40/2015, de 1 de octubre, de régimen jurídico del sector público es la tercera reforma del régimen legal de los consorcios administrativos en un plazo de apenas dos años, volviendo a alterar nuevamente el status quo de estas entidades. Aunque esta última reforma es en gran medida una refundición de las dos reformas anteriores, también introduce algunas novedades significativas, así como algunas correcciones técnicas, que constituyen el objeto de este trabajo. Entre las novedades introducidas por la legislación estatal básica deben destacarse dos: la introducción de una excepción a la regla de que el personal del consorcio proceda exclusivamente de las Administraciones participantes, y la supresión de la exigencia de que las entidades privadas a las que se permite integrarse en el consorcio lo sean sin ánimo de lucro. ABSTRACT : Act 40/2015 of October 1st on the legal regime of the public sector is the third reform to the legal regime of administrative consortiums in no longer than two years, where the status quo of those entities has been changed again. Although this last reform is to a great extent a recast of the two previous reforms, it also introduces substantial novelties, together with some technical amendments and that is this works’ purpose. Outstanding among the novelties introduced by the basic State legislation are two: the introduction of an excepction to the rule that the consortium’s staff belongs only to the participating administrations and the abolition of the requirement that private entities part of a consortium shall be non-profit bodies.

And Task

This study proposes a framework for the interim evaluation of, and subsequent planning for, information systems (IS) in the public sector. We incorporate the considerations of cost efficiency and task effectiveness, which are critical for reaping a sustained benefit from IS. We recommend this double-sided analysis as the basis for interim evaluation. We also advise that this framework of evaluation can effectively indicate which subsequent course of action should be taken: maintain the status quo, upgrade functionality, redevelop, or discontinue the IS. We applied this framework to 118 ISs within the South Korean public sector with the k-means clustering method and provided both academic and practical implications.

The Relationship

Utilizing firsthand interviews with activists and Lebanese diaspora leaders, the chapter centers on the active role of a coalition of Lebanese-American organizations who advanced their positions and those of the Bush administration in promoting, before UN diplomats, members of Congress, the public, and the media, the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1559 (2004). UNSCR 1559 mandated Syrian withdrawal from Lebanese territory and militia disarmament. The chapter also analyzes the involvement of Lebanese-American organizations in lobbying for the Syria Accountability and Lebanese Sovereignty Restoration Act (2003). The novel relationship between US policymakers and their junior Lebanese-American allies was in contrast to the 1990s, when Washington was interested in preserving the status quo with Syria and doors had been closed for the Lebanese diaspora activists. The relationship upholds the theoretical model central to this work, and it traces the interaction between the Bush administration and Lebanese-American organizations from 2001 until 2005, when Syria withdrew its troops from Lebanon.

In order to avoid social inequality of opportunity and improvement of local economies have become government policies in Turkey, as it is in other countries around the world. Incentives, regional development agencies, techno parks and also local entrepreneurs play crucial role in the improvement process of local economies. The increasing rivalry and globalization concept necessitate entrepreneurs to take more risks, to reach innovations to seize opportunities in optimum level. Entrepreneurship is a motor vessel in financial growth and in development, and entrepreneurship is also the source of innovation and creativity. In this regard, the more entrepreneurship develops in a country, the higher level of welfare possesses the chance to advance. The purpose of this report, in which it has been aimed to reveal vital role of entrepreneurship in the progress of local economies, is emphasizing the status of entrepreneurship that transformed Gaziantep’s socio-economic level of development into its present position. Thus with this aim a SWOT analysis, in terms of Gaziantep’s economic entrepreneurship has been carried out. Positive contributions of Gaziantep’s immensely developed industry, facilitation of local innovative entrepreneurs’ involvement in various local economic sectors and in accordance channeling immigration into deployment in local economy have been observed in this study. Significantly it has been observed that plenitude of “opportunist entrepreneurship” or in other words “the entrepreneurs with strategic growth plans” in this region contributed local economy positively.

This article argues for the importance of preserving the visual memory of female communist agency in today’s Poland, at the time when the nation’s relationship to its communist past is being forcefully rearticulated with the help of the controversial Decommunization Act, which affects the public space of the commons. The wholesale criminalization of communism by the ruling conservative forces spurred a wave of historical and symbolic revisions that undermine the legacy of the communist women’s movement, contributing to the continued erosion of women’s rights in Poland. By looking at recent cinema and its treatment of female communists as well as the newly published accounts of the communist women’s movement provided by feminist historians and sociologists, the project sheds light on current cultural debates that address the status of women in postcommunist Poland and the role of leftist legacy in such debates.
