This document summarizes a webinar on public policy and governance challenges in the Middle East and North Africa region presented by Professor Florian Hoffmann. The webinar covered definitions of key concepts like public policy, governance, and public value. It discussed issues in public policy analysis like differences in ideology, time, scale and location. It also presented a four stage model of the genesis of public policy: development, implementation, feedback, and revision. The webinar aimed to give students a multidisciplinary analytical toolkit for understanding and addressing public policy problems beyond a purely technocratic approach.
This document provides an overview of several current issues in public administration, as discussed in a graduate course. It outlines topics like interdisciplinary interfaces, public policy, public choice, administrative law, and more. For each topic, it lists key concepts and theoretical frameworks discussed in the public administration literature.
The document summarizes several traditional and new subfields of public administration. The traditional subfields discussed are political theory, international relations, comparative politics, organization and management, public personnel administration, public fiscal administration, and local government administration. Newer subfields that have emerged include policy analysis and program administration, public enterprise management, voluntary sector management, and spatial information management. Each subfield is briefly described in terms of its key areas of focus and topics studied.
This document outlines the key topics to be covered in a Foundations of Public Administration course for BPA students. The course will use lectures, student presentations, open discussions, quizzes and a final exam to address four main questions over four meetings: what is public administration, who are public administrators, why public administration matters, and what are the issues and challenges. Key topics to be covered include the nature, scope and theories of public administration, administrative processes and techniques, human resources management, fiscal administration, regulatory functions, and issues related to accountability, ethics and economic development. Assessment will be based on attendance, quizzes, reports, projects and the final exam.
This document discusses strategies for effectively executing public policy through strategic management and benchmarking. It defines key concepts in public policy including agenda setting, formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Strategic management in the public sector faces challenges in maintaining long-term consistency and accountability. Benchmarking systematically compares processes to best practices. The National Economic and Development Authority plays a role in Philippine development planning, coordination, and project evaluation to strategically achieve national goals.
This document outlines a lecture on governance and global public policy. It discusses conceptual frameworks for understanding global public policy, including how governance processes consider decision making and resource management. Globalization has reconfigured the role of states through partnerships and networks. Global public policy has emerged to address transboundary, common, and simultaneous problems. A successful case of global public policy is the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which has been widely adopted with progress in related policies. However, the document argues that while global organizations define problems and advocate for policies, implementation and compliance remain more under the purview of nation states due to their focus on outcomes over processes in governance. A balance of shared beliefs and power distribution is needed in global governance theory and practice.
This document discusses public administration and its role in modern society. It begins with definitions of key concepts like communication, public, administration, and public administration. It describes public administration as implementing government policies and programs, analyzing policies to benefit people, and improving public services based on citizen feedback. The document also discusses developments in public administration in the Philippines, including a shift from old to new public management with an emphasis on transparency, accountability, and citizen-centered services. It outlines innovations in local governance and integrating leadership and management practices in public administration.
Public policy is the cornerstone of American democracy and servers a very important purpose in American society. We vote for, see, and hear pubic policy quite often, but do we ever stop to think what is good public policy and what is not?
Climate change, energy, and healthcare are some major public policy issues in our world today and are the focus of most national lawmakers. There are many laws that positively benefit our society, and there are many that don't. What we can be sure about is that successful public policy is usually made up of two things: Good policy (measurable and positive outcome) and good politics (bi-partisanship). Good public policy solves public problems effectively and efficiently, serves justice, supports democratic institutions and processes, and encourages an active and empathic citizenship.

It advocates applying TQM concepts like beneficiary participation, continuous quality evaluation, and action research to improve social projects and children's rights.
This document summarizes a webinar on public policy and good governance challenges in the Middle East and North Africa region. It discusses how governance is typically weaker in MENA compared to other parts of the world due to highly centralized governments and a lack of transparency. It also examines measures of good governance like rule of law, corruption, and citizen voice. A key challenge is closing the "governance gap" in areas like bureaucratic efficiency and political participation. Realizing good governance requires addressing long-standing issues around laws, leadership, and balancing social cohesion with development.

Social Entrepreneurship & Measuring Social Impact: 101Dr. Catherine Lada
Social entrepreneurship aims to solve complex social problems through sustainable business models. It differs from traditional non-profits and businesses in pursuing a double bottom line of social impact and financial sustainability. Social entrepreneurs must understand the embedded context and ecosystem in which problems exist to develop effective solutions. "Wicked problems" are especially difficult to solve because they are situated within complex social systems. Truly addressing wicked problems requires considering all relevant actors and implementing coordinated multi-level solutions. Scaling solutions also requires understanding how approaches must be adapted to different environments and contexts. While measuring social impact is challenging, frameworks provide guidance on assessing evidence of impact at preliminary, moderate, and strong levels.
History & Theory of Planning: Introduction to PlanningAnuradha Mukherji
Planning involves shaping the future through processes like determining future actions, improving settlements, promoting equity and citizen participation. Planners come from various backgrounds and work in government, non-profits and private sectors. They represent the public, assist decision-makers and deal with complex problems. However, planners accomplish little alone and must work with various stakeholders. Planning is inherently political due to its impact and need for support. Key debates in planning theory include defining planning's history and roles, justifying intervention, determining appropriate approaches, and balancing expertise with public values.
This document discusses the need for an integrated science-policy interface framework to address water scarcity in the Western Asia-Northern Africa (WANA) region. It defines key terms like framework, theory, model, and interface. It also describes the multi-dimensional nature of water scarcity in WANA, which exists at the governance, organizational, and physical resource levels. The document then outlines the policymaking process and some potential pitfalls. It argues that finding an effective science-policy interface is vital for improving policy decisions given the complex challenges around water management in WANA.
Hashemi - Science and Policy InterfaceLaura Haddad
This document proposes an integrated socio-technical and institutional framework to address water scarcity in the Western Asia-North Africa region. It discusses the need for a science-policy interface to inform policy decisions with empirical evidence while addressing uncertainties. The framework includes conceptual frameworks dealing with decision-making perspectives and integrated resource management. It also includes analytical frameworks like the Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response model and institutional analysis to link socio-technical and policy assessments. The framework is intended to provide an interface between science and policy to support more evidence-based and sustainable decisions regarding water scarcity challenges in the region.
The document discusses the nature of public policy and the policy process in the Philippines. It defines public policy as the government's attempt to address public issues through laws, regulations, and actions. The public policy process in the Philippines involves several stages: agenda setting, formulation, adoption, formalization, implementation, and evaluation. Key institutions involved include Congress, the executive branch, and local governments. The Philippine Development Plan for 2017-2022 aims for inclusive growth through three pillars: regaining public trust, increasing opportunities, and sustainable economic growth. Recommendations include making the policy process more innovative and inclusive.
1) Governance theories tend to be process-oriented and context sensitive, linked with practical efforts to solve complex problems creatively.
2) Common themes in governance include leadership, network management, decentralization, social inclusion, regulation, governing the commons, and sustainable development.
3) Governance in practice involves self-organizing networks of interdependent actors from state and society engaging in problem-solving.
This article spotlights a collaborative partnership approach to develop and garner support for Healthy and Smart, a HIV/AIDS prevention curriculum strategy. Focus is purposely placed on an action research methodology based in theory and evidence. The programmatic method is incremental and encompasses a transdisciplinary and culturally appropriate approach. In particular, our method instigates effective social change and public policy by forming collaborative partnerships. The essence of collaborative partnerships with key public policy and administrative actors is its alignment with a nation’s social development policy position. Critical to the development of a comprehensive action research approach is investing time to explore each social factor fully. Healthy and Smart HIV/AIDS Prevention Program for Youth exemplifies a participatory program development model for public managers.
Knowledge and brokerage in REDD+ policymaking: evidence from TanzaniaCIFOR-ICRAF
Using national REDD+ strategy development in Tanzania as a case study, this presentation asks how national policymakers make sense of the complex information available about REDD+, who are the central knowledge and information actors and brokers, and what influence these dynamics and discourses have on the creation of REDD+ policy. There are implications in this research for breaking the stalemate on polarising issues and improving the chances of an effective policy being produced.
Salla Rantala from the Harvard Kennedy School’s Sustainability Science Program gave this presentation on 18 June 2012 at a panel discussion organised by CIFOR and partners at the ISEE 2012 Conference at Rio, which convened under the topic "Ecological Economics and Rio+20: Challenges and Contributions for a Green Economy". The panel was titled ‘National strategies for reducing emissions from avoided deforestation and degradation – how much transformational change is possible in current political and economic realities? Part I – An overview’. For more information, visit http://www.cifor.org/events/rio20/
The document summarizes the work of the Access to Medicine Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that works to improve access to medicine globally. It discusses the Foundation's Antimicrobial Resistance Benchmark, which evaluates pharmaceutical companies' efforts to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in their R&D pipelines, manufacturing processes, and access and stewardship programs. The Benchmark covers 20 large research-based pharmaceutical companies and generic drug manufacturers. It finds that while some leading companies have strong environmental management and stewardship programs, overall pipeline development for novel antibiotics remains limited, and strategies to prevent AMR in manufacturing vary widely among companies.
This document summarizes a webinar presentation on calculating a living income benchmark for smallholder farmers. It discusses the concept of living income versus poverty lines. The methodology involves determining the cost of a basic but decent standard of living for an average household, the number of members in the workforce, and calculating the net and gross income required. It then presents a case study of the tea sector in Malawi, calculating actual versus living incomes for tea smallholders. The study found productivity increases of 40% plus or wage employment could help close the gap between actual and living incomes.

The document discusses the concepts of living wage and living income. A living wage aims to provide a decent standard of living for a household based on the costs of basic needs for an average family. It is calculated for hired workers. Living income also aims to provide a decent standard for a household, but considers multiple income sources and is applied to smallholder farmers.
The document then presents a case study analyzing the gap between actual and living incomes for smallholder tea farmers in Malawi. It finds that farmers with less than 1 hectare would need to increase yields by 40% or have tea estates increase prices by 40% to achieve a living income. Farmers with over 1 hectare could achieve it by specializing completely in tea

Reintegration into domestic job markets is challenging according to a live stream from Ruhr University Bochum on July 6th, 2015 at 3:00pm UTC+2. The stream discussed how to successfully manage reintegration for those returning from abroad. It provided advice on navigating domestic job markets for people seeking work after living overseas.
1) The document summarizes theories and typologies of migration, including definitions of migration types like internal, international, and labor migration. It discusses theories that have emerged over time to explain migration patterns.
2) The document then presents a model of preparedness for return migration, including levels of skills, social capital, and financial capital that influence job prospects for returnees. It also describes different reintegration assistance schemes for refugees and highly skilled migrants.
3) The remainder of the document analyzes case studies of return migration of graduates from Ghana and Cameroon, finding that returnees faced varying levels of success in obtaining employment depending on factors like skills, social networks, and access to financial support through reintegration programs
Trade unions and NGOs can influence global economic governance through mobilization like protests or lobbying within existing structures. They have limited participation currently. To have more voice, they must develop expertise on issues, raise awareness, identify ways to engage in international organizations or with governments, and balance mobilization with lobbying and dialogue. Success requires political opportunities, resources, and building cross-border coalitions to strengthen their role in the rule making process.
This document summarizes a webinar on how trade unions and NGOs can influence global economic governance. It discusses that while rules for the international division of labor impact workers, their participation is currently limited. It outlines where rule making takes place from the national to international level and who the participants are. It then examines the different places trade unions can engage in rule making from the national to international level. Finally, it analyzes different strategies and conditions for trade unions to effectively participate in influencing global trade regimes.

This document discusses international labor rights and their relationship to development. It begins by outlining several core labor rights established in international conventions. It then discusses the debate around whether honoring these rights could cause developing countries to lose competitive advantages by increasing costs. While textbooks argue this could harm sales, the document notes efficiency wages and market power are not accounted for. It also discusses how destructive competition occurs between countries with large labor supplies and pressures to adopt export-led growth. Empirical evidence from carpets and theory suggest rights that raise wages above market levels threaten competitiveness, especially between similar economies. Therefore, developing countries may only be able to raise standards through multilateral agreements rather than isolation. The document concludes by mentioning the Asia Floor Wage
This document summarizes the past 15 years of the M.Sc. Photogrammetry and Geoinformatics program at HFT Stuttgart. It provides an overview of the program since its start in 1999, including key dates and milestones. It discusses the lecturers and students involved, the international nature of the student body, and changes to the program over time, including new technologies and applications covered. It also looks ahead to the next 15 years and how the program may evolve further to address changing needs and integrate more online and collaborative elements while continuing to train students on solving global problems.
The document summarizes an international alumni and students symposium on entrepreneurs, firms, and business membership organizations and their role in politics and development. The 3-day event in Leipzig, Germany included presentations on the role of entrepreneurs in economic and political leadership, cases of entrepreneurs in politics from different countries, the role of firms in economic policy and development, and initiatives for greater involvement of alumni and students. It provides an agenda with topics of discussion each day, including presentations, group work, and activities.
Dr. Hans Dembowski will give a webinar presentation on July 9th from 14:00-16:00 CEST titled "Cooperation with the press - how can scientists reach the media?" The presentation will convey the fundamentals of cooperating with the media and answer questions about how scientists can get their voice heard, place their messages, and get published using journalistic techniques. Participants are invited to ask questions and provide input during the live webinar, and a recording will be made available for those unable to attend.

The document analyzes the rise of far-right extremism and populism in Hungary, as represented by the political party Jobbik. It identifies several key reasons for Jobbik's growth, including tensions between Roma and non-Roma populations, widespread disappointment in the political establishment, and an economic crisis since 2008 that increased poverty. The document also examines Jobbik's organizational strength, ideological stances, voter base, and influence on mainstream right-wing parties like Fidesz adopting some of its positions. It concludes by considering different strategies for countering the rise of extremism.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.
