Il voto digitale: tra assenteismo parlamentare e astensionismo popolare. Problemi e prospettive

Involvement of cities with county rights in financing tasks pertaining to physical culture

2018

Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce są odpowiedzialne za działania z zakresu kultury fizycznej. Rosnąca liczba osób uprawiających sport, oddziaływanie społeczne i wychowawcze sportu wpływają na aktywność klubów sportowych i organizacji społecznych promujących kulturę fizyczną. Podczas gdy tylko niektóre organizacje sportowe są samowystarczalne pod względem ekonomicznym, dla większości z nich wsparcie publiczne pozostaje niezbędne. W Polsce, podobnie jak w większości krajów europejskich, jednym z głównych źródeł ich finansowania są dotacje ze środków publicznych. Miasta na prawach powiatu (MNPP), jako szczególny rodzaj gminy, podejmują zadania zarówno gmin, jak i powiatów. W sferze z…

Benefits and Challenges of Digitalization: An Expert Study on Norwegian Public Organizations

The implementation of and research on digital transformation in the context of public organizations have increased substantially in the past few years.

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…

A Framework for Comparing Financial Sustainability in EU Countries: National Accounts, Governmental Accounting and the Challenge of Harmonization

2019

The information prepared in accordance with the national accounts and public finance statistics criteria plays a decisive role in evaluating and comparing the financial sustainability of governments in the European Union (EU). As national accounts are prepared on the basis of information generated by governmental reporting systems, the elaboration of the information requires adjustments due to the lack of comparability of accounting systems. The chapter contains an analysis of the main differences between the two systems and the adjustments required, as well as their importance for EU countries. It includes a study of the level of correlation between the size of the adjustments and the acco…

Tensions in Online Communities: The Case of a Mass Size eParticipation Initiative

2017

Part 4: Critical Reflections; International audience; While Online Communities (OCs) are increasingly used to involve people in organizations and societies, few studies focus on how OC influence political decision making within eParticipation initiatives.

The use of OCs is a common strategy to involve groups of people to easily connect on-line, cooperating on common and shared interests. We here focus on understanding the internal and external forces influencing on the OCs, to better understand how to manage …

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…
