2021
Lo scopo principale di questa ricerca è quello di inquadrare le possibili relazioni causali fra corruzione negli approvvigionamenti pubblici e performance delle amministrazioni locali.

Parliamentarisation as Politicisation
2021
Understanding politics as a contingent and controversial activity, politicisation refers to those activities that create or make visible the political quality in the phenomena in question. Parliamentarisation is a distinct strategy of politicisation. In this chapter, parliament refers to a certain procedural and institutional ideal type of acting politically. The parliamentary way of politicising acting and thinking forms a Gedankenbild, a mental image. It is an ideal type that one-sidedly accentuates and intensifies the political way of thinking. The parliamentary way of proceeding politically transcends the given polity: ‘parliament’ is not primarily a parliament ‘of’ a unit, such as the …

La sociedad multicultural. Democracia y derechos
1997
En este artículo, el autor parte de un hecho sustancial: las sociedades multiculturales constituyen un fenómeno característico de nuestro tiempo. Es decir, en las sociedades actuales conviven códigos e identidades culturales diversos como consecuencia de diferencias étnicas, lingüísticas, religiosas o nacionales.

Ciertamente, la complejidad de las sociedades multiculturales plantea desafíos a la democracia: ¿cómo conciliar la unidad política con la diversidad social? El autor analiza el debate generado …

Zarządzanie procesowe jako warunek wzrostu efektywności działania administracji publicznej
2016
Zarządzanie procesowe jest koncepcją znaną w praktyce gospodarczej już od wielu lat. Sektor publiczny dopiero niedawno zainteresował się możliwościami implementacji orientacji procesowej do zarządzania jednostkami administracji publicznej. Zainteresowanie to wynika ze stale rosnącej presji wzrostu efektywności realizacji zadań publicznych, a podejście procesowe stanowi kluczowy element usprawnienia wykonywania zadań publicznych i pozwala na lepsze dostosowanie ich do potrzeb odbiorców. Dlatego też celem niniejszego opracowania jest wskazanie potencjału zarządzania procesowego jako instrumentu modernizacji i organizacji pracy organów samorządowych. Wskazano jednocześnie wyzwania stojące prze…

Explaining local governments' cost efficiency: Controllable and uncontrollable factors
2020
Abstract Efficient and effective management of public resources is essential at all levels of government. This issue has gained momentum due to the strains that affected public sector finances after the onset of the 2007/08 crisis in many countries, particularly in Europe. In this article, we evaluate the influence of environmental variables that affect local government efficiency in one European country, Spain, during the crisis years (2009–2015). To this end, and considering the possible influence of both controllable and uncontrollable factors, we use an approach that is able to analyse their impact across the conditional distribution of performance, and which controls for the (likely) e…
