Globalization raises important questions about the governing capacity of domestic institutions. In Globalization and Governance, Jon Pierre studies the impact of international norms and prescriptions on domestic governance in Japan, Sweden and the United States. The empirical analysis is focused on economic governance, administrative reform and intergovernmental relationships. Drawing on survey data, documents and interviews, the analysis finds that domestic institutions still intrinsically shape domestic governance. International norms towards deregulation and market-based administrative refo

Climate change is a cause for concern both globally and locally. In order for it to be tackled holistically, its governance is an important topic needing scientific and practical consideration. Climate change governance is an emerging area, and one which is closely related to state and public administrative systems and the behaviour of private actors, including the business sector, as well as the civil society and non-governmental organisations. Questions of climate change governance deal both with mitigation and adaptation whilst at the same time trying to devise effective ways of managing the consequences of these measures across the different sectors. Many books have been produced on general matters related to climate change, such as climate modelling, temperature variations, sea level rise, but, to date, very few publications have addressed the political, economic and social elements of climate change and their links with governance. This book will address this gap. Furthermore, a particular feature of this book is that it not only presents different perspectives on climate change governance, but it also introduces theoretical approaches and brings these together with practical examples which show how main principles may be implemented in practice.

Die Zuweisung der IT-Entscheidungsrechte ist für Organisationen der öffentlichen Verwaltung herausfordernd: Aufgrund der verfassungsmäßig vorgegebenen Verteilung von Zuständigkeiten (Föderalismus und Ressortprinzip) stehen die Anforderungen der IT nach übergreifender Zusammenarbeit im Widerspruch zu den Anforderungen der organisationalen Governance nach klaren Verantwortungsstrukturen. Andreas Schwertsik unterbreitet auf Basis einer Literaturanalyse und einer empirischen Untersuchung einen Vorschlag zur Ausgestaltung der IT-Governance, der die organisationale Governance der Verwaltung berücksichtigt und so die strategische Ausrichtung der IT an der Fachseite ermöglicht. Der Vorschlag beinhaltet die Entkopplung von IT-Entscheidungen, die Zuweisung der IT-Entscheidungsrechte zu fachseitigen Entscheidern, die Behandlung der IT als strategisch-fachliche Ressource und die technische Lösung der Zusammenarbeit (Interoperabilität). Der Inhalt: Entwicklung und aktueller Stand der IT-Governance - Rahmenbedingungen der IT-Governance in der öffentlichen Verwaltung - Empirische Untersuchung zur IT-Governance in der öffentlichen Verwaltung in Deutschland am Beispiel der Länder - Gestaltung der IT-Governance in der öffentlichen Verwaltung. Die Zielgruppen: Dozenten und Studenten der Wirtschaftsinformatik, der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Verwaltungsinformatik sowie IT-Entscheider und Führungskräfte der öffentlichen Verwaltung. Der Autor Dr. Andreas Roland Schwertsik hat am Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsinformatik der Technischen Universität München bei Professor Dr. Helmut Krcmar promoviert. Der Herausgeber: Die Reihe Informationsmanagement und Computer Aided Team wird herausgegeben von Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar
