There are three levels of government in Australia: commonwealth, state, and local councils. The commonwealth parliament consists of the monarch, governor general, and two houses - the senate and house of representatives. Bills must pass through both houses before becoming law. The federal government is responsible for taxation, economic matters, national security, foreign affairs, and welfare. State governments are responsible for health, education, and policing. Local councils provide services like waste collection and public facilities.
This document discusses shadow IT and provides recommendations for how enterprise IT can embrace it. It defines shadow IT as solutions developed without enterprise IT oversight and explains why teams turn to it for freedom, ownership, and ego. Trends like externalization, consumerization, and democratization of technology are driving its growth. The document recommends that enterprise IT address barriers preventing shadow IT from adopting standards, extend solutions to shadow IT teams, and merge policies with their environments to bridge the divide between the two.

This document discusses using a combination of methodologies like auto-ethnography and arts-based research to support a student's interests. It presents data from a patient's treatment file including descriptions of symptoms and mental status exams. It also includes transcripts from interviews with staff and doctors discussing the patient's artwork and cutting. Issues around reorganizing old data and how the student's work should be positioned are raised. The document considers methodologies like arts-based research, body-mapping, and a/r/tography and questions how the multidimensional project could be presented.
1) The document simulates investor behavior in response to major US stock market downturns between 1926-2008 by modeling an exit from stocks after a 40% decline and reentry after a 40% recovery.
2) Applying this "40%-40%" rule to actual market data, investors would have exited and reentered stocks 5 times over the period, selling low and buying back higher 4 out of 5 times.
3) Overall, simply staying invested outperformed this flight-to-quality behavior in 4 out of the 5 periods, demonstrating that fleeing declining markets often leads to lower long-term returns.

Role of the Court in the third pillar: Does not it grow too fast?Ivan Grigoriev
This document discusses the role of the European Court of Justice in the third pillar of EU law regarding police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters. It outlines what the EU treaties say about the Court's competences in this area and how the Court has interpreted its own role. The document also examines the Court's contributions, such as restoring the consistency of the legal system and mutual recognition between member states. However, it notes some drawbacks of the Court's interventions, such as suboptimal legal solutions and reversals of communitarization. Overall, the document evaluates that the Court's involvement came politically too early but was necessary given the specificity of decisions taken in justice and home affairs.
The document discusses two crises that challenged the legitimacy of the European Central Bank as a non-majoritarian institution: the global financial crisis and the sovereign debt crisis. During the financial crisis, the ECB's legitimacy declined despite successfully controlling inflation. The sovereign debt crisis further threatened the ECB's legitimacy by raising questions about its autonomy. The ECB responded by advocating for an economic government and new policy tools at the European level to maintain the integrity of the eurozone.

This document discusses whether and how European integration could become more politicized. It notes that public opinion is no longer accepting of integration without question due to shifts in the EU's policy agenda and the end of a "permissive consensus" among citizens. It argues that constitutionalization alone does not encourage citizen participation and that "majoritarianism light," including more qualified majority voting and less consensus-seeking, could help politicize the process and make leaders more accountable. However, there are trade-offs between constitutionalization and politicization. The document reviews arguments from various scholars on these issues.
The document discusses whether the European Union already has a constitution and what kind of constitution it is. It argues that while the EU has some elements of a "constitutional charter", its existing framework is discrete, incomplete, and made for lawyers rather than citizens. It also examines what would constitute a "proper" constitution for the EU, concluding that it would need to be easier to understand, without institutional pillars, use more qualified majority voting, engage citizens more closely and be simpler overall to facilitate continuous integration.
Rationalism is no more useful than constructivism in explaining EU policy processes. Rationalism views preferences as fixed but constructivism argues they are socially constructed through institutions. Constructivism posits that social learning shapes identities and interests as actors interact in new institutional environments. This helps address rationalism's failure to explain changing outcomes when institutions change. Examples of high and low politics show how constructivism frames institutional change as discursive and ideational rather than just aggregating fixed preferences. While promising, constructivism has implementation problems and its usage as a label is unclear. Future theories may integrate rationalism and constructivism.
The document discusses anti-monopoly policy in the European Union. It begins by defining anti-monopoly policy and its goals of preventing behaviors that limit free competition. It then provides a brief historical overview of the development of anti-monopoly laws and regulations in the EU. Specific provisions and regulations are cited that prohibit cartels and restrictions on free competition.
