Parliamentary Oversight of the Executives
Author: Elena GriglioPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1509925708
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Oversight of executives has always been a key function of parliaments and one that is central to developing the relationship between the executive and legislative branches of government. However, in reality governments are taking a more pronounced role in controlling legislation, diluting the influence of parliament. This book plots this trend in parliaments across Europe, to illustrate points of convergence and divergence. In so doing, it suggest tools and methods that parliaments can develop to bolster their crucial oversight role.
Homo Juridicus
Author: Alain SupiotPublisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1786630621
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
A provocative investigation of how law shapes everyday life In this groundbreaking work, French legal scholar Alain Supiot examines the relationship of society to legal discourse. He argues that the law is how justice is implmented in secular society, but it is not simply a technique to be manipulated at will: it is also an expression of the core beliefs of the West. We must recognize its universalizing, dogmatic nature and become receptive to other interpretations from non-Western cultures to help us avoid the clash of civilizations. In Homo Juridicus, Supiot deconstructs the illusion of a world that has become “flat” and undifferentiated, regulated only by supposed “laws” of science and the economy, and peopled by contract-makers driven only by the calculation of their individual interests. Such a liberal perspective is nothing but the flipside of the notion of the withering away of law and the state, promoted this time not under the banner of the struggle between classes, but rather in the name of the free competition between sovereign individuals. Supiot’s exploration of the development of the legal subject—the individual as formed through a dense web of contracts and laws—is set to become a classic work of social theory.

La loi organique du 1er août 2001 relative aux lois de finances (Introduction aux finances publiques) - 2e édition
Author: Damarey StéphaniePublisher: Editions Ellipses
ISBN: 2340050502
Category : Law
Languages : fr
Pages : 176
Book Description
La loi organique relative aux lois de finances du 1er août 2001 (LOLF) fixe les règles applicables à l’élaboration du budget de l’État. Elle poursuit trois objectifs : ? rénover le pouvoir budgétaire des parlementaires – grandement circonscrit par les dispositions de la Constitution du 4 octobre 1958 ; ? améliorer la gestion publique en introduisant une logique de performance dans le fonctionnement de l’administration ; ? et, en parallèle, réécrire l’ordonnance du 2 janvier 1959 – le précédent texte applicable - afin de mettre un terme aux vides juridiques, inconstitutionnalités et problèmes d’interprétation qu’a suscités l’application de ce texte. Cet ouvrage identifie les problématiques liées à sa mise en oeuvre et présente les principales innovations de la LOLF : ? nouvelle architecture budgétaire ; ? modalités rénovées d’adoption des lois de finances ; ? renouveau du pouvoir d’amendement des parlementaires ; ? renforcement du rôle de la loi de règlement ; ? missions dévolues à la Cour des comptes ; ? projets et rapports annuels de performances ; ? globalisation et fongibilité des crédits ; ? contrôles hiérarchisé et partenarial de la dépense. L’ouvrage se penche également sur la genèse de ce texte et les conditions inhabituelles qui ont entouré l’adoption de la LOLF, présentées en termes de « conjonction astrale ».

Exploring managerial techniques, the social and material tools used by actors to guide or facilitate collective activities, topics include their socio-materiality, performative dimension, role in managerial control, relationship to organisational space and relationship to organisational legitimacy. This volume particularly explores the valuation and legitimation practices or processes involving managerial techniques, their modalities, specificities and involvement in collective activity within organisations. The overall aim of the chapters is to explore in different ways and instances the way in which material artefacts are able to inscribe and enforce managerial action which affects daily work practices.
