"In this book about Rome's most infamous emperor, expert author, Stephen Dando-Collins' chronicles all the palace intrigues and murders that led to Caligula becoming emperor, and details the horrors of his manic reign and the murderous consequences brought about at the hand of his sister Agrippina the Younger, his uncle Claudius and his nephew Nero."--Provided by publisher

In recent years, the procedural rules of global governance institutions have come under scrutiny from scholars worldwide and have been conceptualized as akin to domestic administrative law. However, one question has so far not been addressed: who shapes this procedure and why? In the present work, Isabel Lischewski develops a simple matrix connecting procedure and state interest. When this matrix is applied to a sample of forty diverse institutions, fascinating patterns emerge, which are further explored through in-depth case studies. It is shown that states prefer to balance sovereignty preservation through procedure with the costs it entails. Thus, normative considerations are not the predominant basis on which this procedure is designed. The research provides original insights into the landscape of global governance procedure and cautions against a notion of "apolitical" administration law.

Aus demokratie- und elitentheoretischer Perspektive entfaltet die Autorin ihre Argumentation zur engen Verbindung zwischen Verwaltungs- und politischer Elite in Israel. Die administrative Elite (Inhaber von Spitzenpositionen in der öffentlichen Verwaltung) verfügt zwar über beträchtliche Macht, ist aber von der politischen Elite abhängig. Seit der vorstaatlichen Ära stellt sich die Verwaltungselite in den Dienst der politischen Rechten. Zunächst profitierte vor allem die Mapai-Partei, seit den 1970er Jahren sind es die religiösen Parteien, und hier vor allem die ultra-orthodoxen Parteien Yahadut Hatura (früher: Agudat Yisrael) und Shas.

IntroductionLinking administrative data provides valuable information about individuals using government services and can be very useful for policy-makers in improving and developing services and policies. The Child and Youth Data Laboratory (CYDL) links and analyses administrative data from Alberta Government ministries to provide evidence for policy and program development.
Objectives and ApproachData from 20 programs of six Government of Alberta ministries (Advanced Education, Education, Health, Children's Services, Community and Social Services, and Justice and Solicitor General) were linked anonymously. The data spans six years from 2005/06 to 2010/11 and consists of almost 50 million records corresponding to over 2 million unique Albertans aged 0 to 25 years. A data visualization tool called the Program Overlap Matrix summarises the overlap rates among the programs. It is comprised of a matrix of squares, where each cell represents the overlap between two programs.
ResultsThe Program Overlap Matrix is publically available at https://visualization.policywise.com/P2matrix/. It consists of overlap rates between programs in any study year (2005/06 to 2010/11), individual years, the first year vs. future years, and the last year vs. previous years which can be used to answer many policy-related questions such as: other service use (e.g., what other services do ESL students use?), over-represented programs (e.g., in what programs are Child Care Subsidy clients over-represented?), resilience (e.g., what is the proportion of Child Intervention clients in post-secondary institutions?), transitions (e.g., what types of services do students with special needs receive as they transition to adulthood?), and time trend (e.g., what types of services did Income Support clients receive in the past?)
Conclusion/ImplicationsThe program overlap matrix is a powerful tool to discover relationships between programs. It is a useful instrument to inform public and policy-makers about the overlap rates between government programs. It can be used to answer a variety of policy-related questions.

Notes the restraint on the freedom of local authorities through detailed statutory regulation, financial control, political accountability and institutional change. Considers reasons for these trends and implications for the future role of the law in empowering and controlling the state. (PAS)
