Book Description
This book examines how efforts to exert accountability in crises affect public trust in governing institutions. Using Sweden as the case study, this book provides a framework to analyse accountability in crises and looks at how this affects trust in government. Crises test the fabric of governing institutions. Threatening core societal values, they force elected officials and public servants to make consequential decisions under pressure and uncertainty. Public trust in governing institutions is intrinsically linked to the ability to hold decision-makers accountable for the crucial decisions they make. The book presents empirical evidence from examination of the general bases for accountability in public administration, and at the accountability mechanisms of specific administrative systems, before focusing on longer term policy changes. The author finds that within the complex web of bureaucratic and political moves democratic processes have been undermined across time contributing to misplaced and declining trust in governing institutions. Accountability in Crises and Public Trust in Governing Institutions will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of public policy, political leadership and governance.

Book Description
This epic fantasy novel is the story of a vicar who must give up all that is important to his faith to learn the fate of a woman he loves. In an earlier heroic quest, Jakem Pyce made his own journey as he shifted from an agnostic outlook on life to one of devotion, based on the sacrifice he observed of his priestess friend Ariane. He learns she did not perish in her sacrifice, and seeks answers in the mystery around her disappearance. Yet to find answers, he must decide whether to use a forbidden magic counter to his faith that may put the rest of the world in danger, and his wavering faith in a silent Deity is challenged. Helped by a female dwarf who has fled her oppressive society, the pair must face a gauntlet of obstacles including shadowy agents, relentless magic foes, and vengeance seekers, all against the backdrop of a bitter civil war and shifting alliances among friends and enemies to learn the real fate of Ariane.

In Pursuit of World-Class Universities
Author: Marcelo Rabossi
Publisher: Studera Press
ISBN: 938588364X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The pursuit to construct “world-class” universities is an ongoing global obsession across the world, which lays emphasis on the development of competitive higher education and research systems as core national economic approach. The portrayal “world-class” is more contextual rather than absolute, the expression “world-class university” has an irrefutable cachet. There is no solo, clear-cut definition of what organises a world-class university (WCU), but there are few common attributes that majority of the experts point towards. The three attributes stated by Philip Altbach and Jamil Salmi that focus on a high concentration of talent, abundant resources and favourable governance have been widely discussed in writings and practice. Both in developing and developed countries, policymakers and higher education leaders are attempting to identify and outline their desires and plans aimed at achieving global ranking for their university/universities. Despite condemnation of the methodology, the choice of indicators and weightings, and the reliability and quality of data used for comparing performance, the obsession for constructing world-class universities has increased over the period of time. But how much do we really discern or comprehend regarding the ranking systems? What do the rankings really measure? Do rankings measure the quality and help in attaining the broad assignment of higher education? Does the competition as outcome of ranking raise standards? Is the ranking system an apposite instrument to frame higher education policies? This edited volume tries to look at the concept of world-class universities in milieu of different countries of the world and explore their experiences either in existing WCUs or constructing WCU or attempting to create WCU. The country-based chapters show differentiated paths of achievements and their approach towards the concept of WCU.
