The first part makes predictions about which form of fiscal governance fits which form of government. Under multi-party coalition governments, fiscal contracts where governments make political commitments to multi-annual fiscal plans work well. In countries where two political blocks face off against one another, delegation based around a strong finance ministry should be most effective. The second part examines electoral and party systems, which affect the form of government in place. The third part documents norms, rules, and institutions in place. The final section considers the joint effects of fiscal governance on fiscal outcomes. On balance, the underlying political climate is crucial for determining what types of fiscal norms, institutions, and rules function best. The more countries diverge from their expected form of fiscal governance, the greater the increase in a country's debt burden.}, language = {en} } @misc{MungiuPippidivanMeurs2010, author = {Mungiu-Pippidi, Alina and van Meurs, Wim}, title = {Ottomans into Europeans: state and institution building in South-East Europe}, publisher = {Columbia University Press,}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9780231701686}, pages = {352}, year = {2010}, abstract = {While many histories of the Balkans have been published, some very good and others poor, there is as yet no history of institutions in the Balkans.

They also examine the selection, evolution, and performance of institutions in the post-Ottoman Balkans, and try to account for variations throughout the region. In writing this institutional history of the Balkans the contributors set themselves two key questions: did the post-Ottoman wave of Europeanization and Western-type institution building fail in the Balkans, and does this explain the region's continuing political fragility? And if this is the case, are there underlying structural determinants explaining that failure which might manifest themselves again in present attempts to re-integrate the region, from Turkey to Albania?}, language = {en} } @misc{AnheierIsar2010, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Isar, Yudhishthir Raj}, title = {Cultural expression, creativity and innovation}, volume = {3}, publisher = {SAGE}, address = {Los Angeles [u.a.]}, isbn = {9781412920865}, pages = {460}, year = {2010}, abstract = {Volume 3 of the Cultures \& Globalization series, Creativity and Innovations, explores the interactions between globalization and the forms of cultural expression that are their basic resource.

No other nation provides its foundations with so much autonomy and freedom of action as does the United States. Liberated both from the daily discipline of the market and from direct control by government, American foundations understandably attract great attention. As David Hammack and Helmut Anheier note in this volume, "Americans have criticized foundations for... their alleged conservatism, liberalism, elitism, radicalism, devotion to religious tradition, hostility to religion —in short, for commitments to causes whose significance can be measured, in part, by the controversies they provoke. Americans have also criticized foundations for ineffectiveness and even foolishness." Their size alone conveys some sense of the significance of American foundations, whose assets amounted to over \$530 billion in 2008 despite a dramatic decline of almost 22 percent in the previous year. And in 2008 foundation grants totaled over \$45 billion. But what roles have foundations actually played over time, and what distinctive roles do they fill today? How have they shaped American society, how much difference do they make? What roles are foundations likely to play in the future? This comprehensive volume, the product of a three-year project supported by the Aspen Institute's program on the Nonprofit Sector and Philanthropy, provides the most thorough effort ever to assess the impact and significance of the nation's large foundations. In it, leading researchers explore how foundations have shaped —or failed to shape —each of the key fields of foundation work.
