This book explores how professional and organisational cultures influence global public-private partnerships, which form a key element of global governance. Using case studies, the partnerships of three international government organisations – the International Telecommunication Union, Interpol and the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property – illustrate how partnerships are formed and operate in accordance with the accepted cultural beliefs, values and values associated with both profession and organisation. In brief, engineers create partnerships they are comfortable with, which are different in form and operation to those of police, which also differ from those of the conservator. This book will appeal to scholars of International Relations, global governance, organisational studies and public administration. It also conveys lessons for professionals at the international level in international government organisations, business and civil society who engage in, or want to engage in global public-private partnerships.

He is Deputy Director Governance of the Transnational Research Institute on Corruption, based at the ANU in Canberra, Australia. Dr Masters' research focuses on organised crime and corruption.

In Italy, public policies have difficult processing, and even more difficult implementation. It is normal for a number of unexpected side effects to occur as a result of a public policy. Likewise, it is normal that a public policy determines an impact which is appreciated ex post, but cannot be identified with the original, designed one. So much so that many policies resemble a bet, rather than a project. In other words, they are always exposed to a universe of factors and circumstances which may destroy or change their theoretical assumptions, independently from any effective and measurable government capacity. This is the sign of a democratic regime's structural fragility and of the government capacity expressed by it: its difficulty in feeding its policies with sufficient legitimizing doses and tools in order for the policies to achieve the desired effectiveness. It is a classic theme for political science; in this volume, it is revisited in the light of the different types of empirically conceivable legitimization and of the contemporary state's ability to produce social regulation.

En mêlant réflexion théorique et perspectives opérationnelles, ce livre souhaite questionner les transformations urbaines occasionnées sur le temps long par l'émergence des mobilités partagées mises en œuvre par de grandes firmes privées mondialisées. Dans quelle mesure la participation de ces nouveaux acteurs aux politiques de mobilité des villes transforme-t-elle le rôle des institutions publiques dans la gestion urbaine ? Ces systèmes de mobilité peuvent-ils répondre aux enjeux écologiques du xxie siècle ? Quels sont les gagnants et les perdants de ces recompositions dans l'économie des transports, les institutions et les structures sociales urbaines ? Ces questions sont abordées à partir de l'analyse du développement récent des systèmes de vélos en libre-service et d'autopartage, en proposant une réflexion plus générale sur la place du capitalisme dans l'innovation en matière de mobilité et dans la fabrique de la ville. L'ouvrage permet de saisir les contours des nouvelles économies collaboratives en interrogeant la gouvernance « public-privé » des mobilités partagées. Cette seconde édition souhaite actualiser le développement de l'auteur à travers l'introduction d'une étude de cas de l'évolution historique des mobilités partagées à Paris, la prise en compte de l'arrivée des dispositifs de mobilité en free floating dans les grandes villes et l'intégration de nombreux éléments d'actualité (changement d'opérateur, nouveaux acteurs, etc.). Le livre souhaite offrir des outils de réflexion aux différents acteurs de la ville avant les élections municipales de 2020, période au cours de laquelle les mobilités partagées seront au cœur des débats politiques et citoyens.

Focusing on the local realities in a growing coal and energy town of South Africa, Emalahleni, it explores whether a just transition from coal-generated energy is possible and what the local implications will be of this global restructuring of the energy sector.

Given the global crises confronting the world today, it is important to interrogate the notion of “the modern state” and to evaluate its effectiveness in providing security and services for its populations, including the most disadvantaged and vulnerable. This book investigates the modern state’s capacity to serve its constituents by examining the organisations that facilitate two key elements of contemporary living: social capital and social enterprise. These elements are explored in a series of rich case studies located in Australia, Ireland and Bangladesh, with broader implications for policy and practice in the rest of the world. The case studies highlight the growing importance of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship in fostering social capital and in contributing to the idea of “the enabling state”. This book will appeal to researchers, policy-makers and community leaders working in business, education, employment pathways, homelessness, housing, local government, mental health, public administration and refugee resettlement.
