. Looming new developments of unprecedented scale now present for Northerners both significant opportunities and challenges, especially if long-term cultural vitality and a sustainable environment are to be maintained. Northern Canada is also a key archive and bellwether for global climate change, and understandably it has become increasingly the focus of foreign researchers, whose resources vastly exceed those of Canadians. In light of this northern transformation, this article revisits Canada's ongoing unpreparedness in northern science and technology ., contrasts Canada's inactivity with proactive steps being taken by other countries with well-structured polar agendas, and recommends recently proposed solutions as a long-awaited remedy. .

In the current evolution of state-society relations, government & nongovernmental actors (NGOs) need to communicate & negotiate with increased frequency, in more contexts & on more issues, all the while preserving their autonomy. These diplomatic changes in state-NGO relations have been enhanced by the expanded development of civil society & by the emergence of a closer state/societal complex; they are illustrated by a series of narratives on diplomacy in the late 1990s. The structural (resource assets & deficiencies, knowledge, & legitimacy) & operational (triggering, agency, & joint management) dimensions of state-NGO relations are analyzed, showing that the complex webs of trade-offs between the state & NGOs are necessary & natural. It is concluded that in such a rich policy milieu, simplistic zero-sum arguments about the significance of particular categories of actors no longer provide explanations for state-NGO activity. M.

This paper examines the dislocated tripartite relationship in Nigeria's Industrial Relations. It traces the trend and pattern of relationship among the three parties in the industrial relations setup viz Government, Employer and Labour from the early 1970s. Historically, this period provided an important watershed in the growth of the Nigerian economy and the increasing intervention of the state in the capital formation process. In seeking to maintain political control while promoting socio-economic development, the government established a central role in the industrial relations system. In the search for new institutions and techniques to facilitate the management of economic development based on state intervention, tripartitism emerged as a vital instrument for consensus building and for ensuring harmonious relations among labour market partners and the government. Enduring tripartism requires the adoption of an ideology of social partnership and manifests readiness by the government to share its authority and responsibility for the management of the economy.

Analyzes the role of the expertise of human conduct within the technologies of government, noting how expertise has transformed the relations between political & nonpolitical forms of authority. The relation between expertise & its subjects is one of subjectification domination. Expertise has been used in the service of many strategies from above & also shapes the values & demands of contestations from below. The struggle to live up to the ideal of autonomy ties us in new ways to the teachings of expertise embodied in various technologies. It is concluded that the openness of advanced liberal modes of government contains the possibility of inventing different futures in which various versions of freedom may still be placed in opposition to the expertise that claims to instruct them. 99 References.

THE FORMER COMMUNIST GOVERNMENTS OF EASTERN EUROPE PERPETRATED THE MYTH THAT WORKING CLASS SOLIDARITY HAD OVERCOME ETHNIC AND REGIONAL CONFLICT. THESE GOVERNMENTS HAD A STRONG COMMITMENT TO ECONOMIC EQUALITY AMONG ALL SOCIAL GROUPS AND ALL REGIONS, LEADING TO SUBSTANTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS FOR THEIR ECONOMICALLY LESS-DEVELOPED REGIONS. DUE TO EASTERN EUROPE'S DEMOCRATIZATION PROCESS, DEEP-SEATED REGIONAL AND ETHNIC DIFFERENCES HAVE RECENTLY COME INTO THE OPEN AND ARE NOW INFLUENCING THE PROCESS OF ECONOMIC REFORM. THIS PAPER IS A CASE STUDY OF HOW ETHNIC AND REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IMPACT ECONOMIC REFORMS IN PREVIOUSLY COMMUNIST COUNTRIES. SPECIFICALLY, THE AUTHORS EXAMINE THE ECONOMICS OF THE POLITICAL SEPARATION BETWEEN THE CZECH AND SLOVAK FEDERATED REPUBLICS.

This entry has been realised in the framework of the H2020-MSCA-RISE-2018 project "LoGov - Local Government and the Changing Urban-Rural Interplay". LoGov aims to provide solutions for local governments that address the fundamental challenges resulting from urbanisation. To address this complex issue, 18 partners from 17 countries and six continents share their expertise and knowledge in the realms of public law, political science, and public administration. LoGov identifies, evaluates, compares, and shares innovative practices that cope with the impact of changing urban-rural relations in five major local government areas: (1) local responsibilities and public services, (2) local financial arrangements, (3) structure of local government, (4) intergovernmental relations of local governments, and (5) people's participation in local decision-making. The present entry represents the general introduction of the LoGov Report on Austria providing an overview to the system of local government in the country. To access the full version of the report on Austria, the various practices in the five above-mentioned areas of interest, and to receive more information about the project, please visit: https://www.logov-rise.eu/.
