Benefits and Challenges of Digitalization: An Expert Study on Norwegian Public Organizations
2021
The implementation of and research on digital transformation in the context of public organizations have increased substantially in the past few years. A wide range of drivers, benefits, and challenges associated with digitalization have been suggested in the literature. However, these suggestions appear fragmented and disconnected, and do not offer a clear overview of the main drivers, challenges, and benefits. Moreover, research in this regard in the Norwegian and Scandinavian contexts is lacking. Therefore, there is a need to clarify the drivers, benefits, and challenges of digital transformation. To address this need, seven Norwegian public organizations were investigated by gathering d…

The local cultural sector : Reinvigorating its public functions and foundations
2016
In the Nordic tradition, public cultural policy has been endowed with an enlightening and welfarepolitical aim. Nordic cultural policies are based on an overall socio-political objective of furthering the empowerment of the individual, universal enlightenment ("Bildung") and the continued democratisation of society (Nielsen 2003). Locally, an important actor is a municipal cultural sector that is one specialized sector in a municipality's administration. Cultural and art institutions (such as libraries, museums, theatres) are working under the cultural sector administration, although they might sometimes have their own separate administration. According to Gray (2002, pp. 82-83) the arts as…
Wykorzystanie II transzy Rządowego Funduszu Inwestycji Lokalnych jako instrument polityki klientelistycznej rządu wobec samorządu w perspektywie dośw…
2022
Celem artykułu jest analiza rozdziału środków z II transzy Rządowego Funduszu Inwestycji Lokalnej (RFIL) w województwie opolskim oraz debaty w tym regionie wokół zarzutów o klientelistycznym rozdziale funduszu. Według pierwszej z hipotez samorządy rządzone przez mniejszość niemiecką nie są traktowane jako politycznie neutralne i wobec tego mogą być narażone na dyskryminację w alokacji funduszu. Według drugiej specyfika lokalnego układu sił politycznych w województwie, charakteryzująca się niskim poziomem upartyjnienia, daje politykom regionu związanym z rządem możliwość podważania tezy o klientelistycznym rozdziale RFIL. Badania pokazały, że samorządy mniejszości niemieckiej mają mniejsze s…
The Central Government Fund for Local Investments as an Instrument of Clientelist Politics Towards the Local Government in Poland – The Position of t…
2022
The objective of the paper is to analyse the distribution of funds from the Central Government Fund for Local Investments (CGFLI) granted in the years 2020-2021 to the communes and districts of the Opolskie province in which the German minority (GM) rules in local governments. A hypothesis has been formulated that communes and districts governed by the GM are not treated as neutral communes in the same sense as non-partisan communes governed by local government officials who do not represent national political parties, and such communes and districts may thus face discrimination in the distribution of funds, similar to what has been established in the case of the opposition "Senate Bloc". T…
Les études hédoniques soutiennent-elles une valeur verte élevée dans le bâtiment ? Une réponse par la méta-analyse
2018
International audience; La place majeure occupée par le secteur du bâtiment dans la consommation d'énergie (40%) et les émissions de gaz à effet de serre (1/3 des émissions) explique le développement du débat scientifique axé sur la réduction de l'impact environnemental du bâtit et sur ses leviers. Ces dernières années ont notamment vu croitre une littérature considérable relative à la disposition à payer du public pour les bâtiments « verts » labélisés par des écolabels, cette « valeur verte » étant estimée dans la grande majorité des études via des modèles hédoniques. Dans cet article, nous proposons d'offrir une synthèse de ces résultats dans le cadre d'une méta-analyse portant sur plus …
Enterprise Architecture Descriptions for Enhancing Local Government Transformation and Coherency Management
2011
Local governments cover multiple service sectors and are typically organized into diversified, deeply hierarchical organizations. Public services offered are tangible, mostly non-IT-critical, and heavily dependent on human resources. Information management is mainly manual in strategy and management processes. In this case study of a large Finnish local government organization, enterprise architecture (EA) is proposed as a tool for improving the coherency of the local government and its alignment to IT and other resources. We ask, what kind of EA descriptions local government agencies need for coherency management, and how to organize them. We apply action design research principles at the …
¿Quién decide qué y cómo? el conflicto en torno a la participación ciudadana en el contexto del desarrollo de la iniciativa urbana: Cuenca-San Antón …
2018
This article describes the main results of an ethnographic study on citizen participation carried out in the context of the development of the Urban Initiative (2007-2015): Cuenca-Barrio de San Antón. Managed by the City Council of Cuenca and financed by the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) under the Ministry of Economy and Finance at the Government of Spain The results of the research show how in the context of the application of neoliberal policies, citizen participation becomes the trigger for new conflicts between institutions and citizens. In this sense, it is worth noting how, in practice, institutions in their capacity as experts and not willing to dis-empower themselves, …
L’espropriazione nella Repubblica Popolare di Polonia negli anni 1944–1956. Analisi storica e dottrinale
2018
The Manifesto of the Polish Committee of National Liberation (an organization created by the Soviet Union) of 22 July 1944 initiated on the territory of Poland radical changes in the political and social-economic organization of the country. The self-appointed communist authorities, at the beginning of the new system’s development, as one of the key challenges recognized the necessity for transformation of the ownership structure of Poland in accordance with the doctrine they propagate. The first decrees already expressed a disregard for the achievements of Western civilization in the area of protection of acquired rights, including in the context of individual property rights. In the force…
As inovações em contabilidade governamental na américa latina: o caso da Colômbia
2012
En este trabajo se aborda la reforma de la contabilidad gubernamental en Colombia -iniciada en 1991 y que se extiende hasta la actualidad- buscando contribuir a la comprensión de la génesis y del desarrollo del Sistema Contable Público Colombiano. Un elemento novedoso reside en documentar parte del proceso de adaptación de las International Public Sector Accounting Standards, IPSAS, a un contexto específico. Así, la pregunta central del documento es: ¿Puede considerarse el proceso desarrollado en la contabilidad gubernamental en Colombia como una innovación? Desde un enfoque descriptivo y analítico, soportado en documentos públicos y en fuentes secundarias, los autores caracterizan lo acont…
