Transboundary water pollution management is a challenge for China at this moment in time. By introducing relevant legal arrangements, we mainly discuss the competent authorities, the legal instruments and dispute settlement procedures concerning this issue in China. The experiences from international, EU and Dutch water law gives us a comparative perspective. As a conclusion, we agree that China has set up a basic legal system to solve the problem, but a greater effort can still be made, for instance including more public opinion, clearly defining the competent authorities, and enacting more legislation. At the same time, the Chinese experience, such as a new model for a monitoring system and a target responsibility system, also provides the rest of the world with a new approach.

Canon 1371, 2° calls for a just penalty to be imposed upon one who is persistently disobedient to a command or prohibition imposed by the apostolic see, an ordinary or other superior. With the goal of arriving at an authentic understanding of the canon, this work begins with a study of the fonts attributed to it. Consisting of decisions rendered by the pope or a dicastery. A historical approach continues in chapter two, with an examination of relevant CIC 1917 legislation. In addition to a detailed analysis of canon 1371, 2°, this work considers jurisprudence of the Roman Curia, presented under the themes of disobedience to the Apostolic See or to one's ordinary; the value and importance of obedience; the need for competent authority to be vigilant and intervene when necessary; and how this intervention can serve as a pastoral instrument for the salvation of souls. This work also undertakes a contemporary and practical reading of canon 1371, 2°, pointing out that the precept or prohibition imposed must be legitimate, that persistent disobedience must be present, and that the imposed penalty is to be just. It offers conclusions as to be why the canon is important for the Church today. Obedience to competent authority on the part of the Christian faithful provides a healthy example to those outside the Church and can help protect the faithful. Proper implementation of what is called for in canon 1371, 2° can prevent more grave disobedience in the future and promote good order in the Church

Competition policy is a dynamic process in which two questions arise: the configuration of the institutional framework and, on the other hand, the potential negative effects of the reforms processes. Based on surveys to employers (International Institute for Management Development, IMD), this paper evaluates the evolution of the effectiveness of competition policy at international level and how some countries' competition policy (or authority) reforms change this perceived effectiveness: United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Finland and Spain. Results show that the last Spanish competition policy reform (creation of the CNMC), was non-positive, despite some improvements in recent years.

This book, by two of the world's leading administrative law scholars, reimagines administrative law as the law of public administration by making its competence the focus of administrative law. Grounded in extensive interdisciplinary, historical, and doctrinal analysis, Fisher and Shapiro show why understanding both the capacity and authority of expert public administration is crucial to ensure the legitimacy and accountability of the administrative state. To address the current precarious state of administrative law, they support a new study of the administrative process by an Attorney Generals Committee on Administrative Procedure leading to a revised Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This book is a must-read for anyone interested in administrative law and its reform.

For most bills in American legislatures, the issue of turf?or which committee has jurisdiction over a bill?can make all the difference. Turf governs the flow and fate of all legislation. In this innovative study, David C. King explains how jurisdictional areas for committees are created and changed in Congress. Political scientists have long maintained that jurisdictions are relatively static, changing only at times of dramatic reforms. Not so, says King. Combining quantitative evidence with interviews and case studies, he shows how on-going turf wars make jurisdictions fluid. According to Kin.
Las políticas e instituciones están sometidas a ciclos de reforma y contra-reforma. Éstas pueden impulsar periodos de auge o declive en la efectividad de las políticas públicas. Estos ciclos son especialmente volátiles y amplios en los países que tienen problemas de estabilidad institucional. En España, la política de competencia ilustra estos ciclos volátiles y amplios en la efectividad de las políticas públicas como pocas otras. En los últimos 20 años (1995-2014), España ha vivido dos ciclos completos de intensos auges y declives en la efectividad de la política de competencia, con una ganancia media de efectividad del 14 por 100. El último ciclo de diez años (2005-2014) ha recogido un aumento destacable y posterior caída en la efectividad de la política de competencia, saldándose sin ganancia significativa en la misma: un inane y desgastante ciclo completo de reforma y contra-reforma. La comparación de resultados con un conjunto de 54 países del mundo muestra que esta volatilidad cíclica en la efectividad de la política de competencia en España es una anormalidad estadística. Dada la relevancia del marco institucional y el enforcement, nuestros resultados apuntan a la necesidad de estabilizar la calidad institucional en materia de competencia como garante de una mayor efectividad de la misma.

Product recall is a fundamental food safety risk management tool. The key to successful implementation of a recall is recognizing the importance of shared responsibility between government/competent authority and industry. Within the recall process, the main objective for the competent authority is to protect public health by ensuring the rapid removal of unsafe foods or feeds from the market. To address the impact of a globalized food supply on the facilitation of recalls, competent authorities around the world have adopted regulations addressing product tracing through the food supply chain, clarifying responsibilities within the recall process, mandatory recall authority for food safety agencies, and disposal of contaminated products. During the recall process, the key areas in which the competent authority plays a vital role include: Communication; Coordination, Initiation and Completion of the Recall Process; Evaluation of Effectiveness of the Recall Process; Data collection, and Providing Guidance and Training to Industry and other Stakeholders.
