Problematyka przejmowania infrastruktury kolejowej przez samorząd terytorialny – przykład województwa dolnośląskiego
2021
Regionalny kolejowy transport pasażerski w ostatnich latach dotknięty był zmianami w kontekście organizacji przewozów. Dotyczy to kwestii zarządzania oraz zasięgu obsługiwanej sieci kolejowej. Zauważalne są tendencje do reaktywacji połączeń oraz tworzenia nowych powiązań komunikacyjnych. Jest to związane zarówno z obsługą aglomeracji miejskich, jak i transportu regionalnego. Proces kreowania nowego układu komunikacji kolejowej oparty może być na reaktywacji nieczynnych tras albo budowie nowych połączeń. Procedura przejmowania niewykorzystywanych linii przez samorząd województwa jest elementem odtwarzania pierwotnego systemu kolejowego. Z jednej strony pozwala to na zachowanie infrastruktury…
Rieleggere il Presidente. Il parlamentarismo italiano alla prova della vicenda Matttarella.
2022
The re-election of Mattarella takes on the clear meaning of recognition of the legitimacy of the model of presidency that has established itself during the seven-year period, justifying the opportunity to reuse the already tried and tested skills of a President who has worked well. Re-election is in fact an act which, especially in a democratic-representative regime, offers the opportunity to Parliament and parties to formulate, albeit indirectly and ex post, a political judgment on the work of the outgoing President. The re-election also made it possible to maintain a close relationship between the head of state and the political forces, giving an element of elasticity to the institutional…
L'attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2009-2012
2020
L’articolo descrive l’attività normativa del governo nel periodo 2009-2012. Sono stati numerosi gli sforzi nell’azione di contenimento della spesa, finalizzata a conseguire la correzione sostanziale e duratura dell’andamento dei conti pubblici. Altrettanto strategica è stata la politica di liberalizzazione, apparsa prioritaria per la crescita economica del Paese e perseguita attraverso importanti provvedimenti. The article describes the legislative and regulatory activity of Government in the period 2009-2012. There have been numerous efforts to contain the public expenditure, aimed at achieving the substantial correction of the trend in public finances. The liberalization policy was strate…
How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
The 18th-century traditions of representation in a new age of revolution : History politics in the Swedish and Finnish parliaments, 1917−1919
2014
What happened to shared historical experiences in the discursive processes of constitutional reform in Sweden and Finland? This article examines the use of 18th-century history in early 20th-century politics. Building on a long-term survey of Swedish and Finnish estate and parliamentary debates, it analyses the political implications of differing national historiographies in the two successor states of the 18th-century Swedish realm, focusing on how the ancient past and collective (and often selective) memories of the Age of Absolutism, the Age of Liberty and the Gustavian Age were used by parliamentarians in constitutional debates. The analysis demonstrates how the Finnish polity continued…
Social Determinants of Success: Social Media, Corporate Governance and Revenue
2019
This study examined how social media (Twitter and LinkedIn) relates to the operating revenue by investigating the effect of the use of social media by the board of directors. To tackle this question, we analyzed the mediating and moderating relationship of social media on the effect of board size in operating revenue (turnover). We studied the implications of the use of social media by the board members by using structural equation modeling (SEM). The data consisted of a random sample of 100 companies listed on the NASDAQ. The study makes two main contributions. First, it shows interesting differences in the use of social media for the operating revenue. Our results suggest that while Twitt…
The Relationship between Public Value and Change : Case Study on Public Value Creation in Relation to the Regional Government, Health and Social Serv…
2019
Master's thesis Innovative governance and public management ME523 - University of Agder 2019 A break first from Traditional Public Administration (TPA) and later New Public Management (NPM) has gradually offered new angles to the governance. For instance, Moorecreated an analogue to the private value creation,and as a result, the ideology of public value creation has emerged worldwide.Since then, scholars have developed a conceptual understanding of public value. Compared to the NPM public value management embraces post-competitive achievements and broader governmental goals. Yet, the empirical research on public value management, especially in the Finnish context, is rather unknown.This st…

Performance Management in Local Government: The Application of System Dynamics to Promote Data Use
2014
The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how system dynamics can be used to enrich performance management in local government, focusing specifically on how the development of conceptual and simulation system dynamic models can foster a shared view of the relevant system among stakeholders to overcome factors that limit data use. Responding to this purpose, we present a normative case study on how key drivers can be used to foster a shared view of the residential refuse collection system for supporting policy and process changes. A major finding from our research, however, is that performance management cannot overlook the broader forces of citizenship outcomes that impact the community.
L'espace de liberté comme mesure synthétique du développement territorial durable
2011
By discussing the concept of development itself, authors propose two synthetic indexes relying on estimation of potential: Development Space Value and Development Space Creation Under the weak hypothesis that any successful development improves future possibilities, changes in potential are a good development measure. In their path, authors show how development space is tied with freedom: a shrink in it results mechanically in indexes fall. So, "sustainable" and "economic" become two sides of same piece rather than enemies. Reliable in simulations, the approach is to be tested in real conditions, to verify full data availability and to secure calculating methods.
