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. American Foundations takes the reader on a wide-ranging tour, evaluating foundation efforts in education, scientific and medical research, health care, social welfare, international relations, arts and culture, religion, and social change.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Jachtenfuchs, author = {Jachtenfuchs, Markus}, title = {The Institutional Framework of the EU}, series = {Handbook of Multi-level Governance}, booktitle = {Handbook of Multi-level Governance}, publisher = {Elgar}, address = {Cheltenham [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-1-84980-629-9}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:b1570-opus4-4376}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {203 -- 213}, abstract = {The Handbook provides an authoritative overview of the MLG literature. . . it has the potential to be widely used as a source of reference.

As such, new ways to deal with human rights challenges in corporate operations must be developed as traditional governance mechanisms are not always able to tackle them. This article presents five different views on innovative solutions for the relationships between business and human rights that all build on empowerment, dialogue and constructive engagement. The different approaches highlight an emerging trend toward a more active role for corporations in the protection of human rights. The first examines the need for enhanced dialogue between corporations and their stakeholders. The next three each examine a different facet of empowerment, a critical factor for the respect and protection of human rights: empowerment of the poor, of communities, and of consumers. The final one presents a case study of constructive corporate engagement in Myanmar (Burma). Altogether, these research projects provide insight into the complex relationships between corporate operations and human rights, by highlighting the importance of stakeholder dialogue and empowerment. All the five projects were presented during the Second Swiss Master Class in Corporate Social Responsibility, held in Lausanne, Switzerland on December 12, 2008.

Concentrating on intentional action helps to reveal the importance of three aspects of the multi-level polity: (1) informal and non-constraining procedures; (2) the effects of ways in which actors move in between the different levels of the European political system; and (3) the ambiguous and often surprising coalitions that come together despite often considerable disagreement over their final goals.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Woll, author = {Woll, Cornelia}, title = {Firm Interests in Uncertain Times: Business Lobbying in Multilateral Service Liberalization}, series = {Constructing the International Economy}, booktitle = {Constructing the International Economy}, editor = {Abdelal, Rawi and Blyth, Mark and Parsons, Craig}, publisher = {Cornell University Press}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9780801475887}, publisher = {Hertie School}, pages = {137 -- 154}, abstract = {Abstract : Many observers agree that the multilateral liberalization of service trade was a response to the intense lobbying efforts of financial service companies. In contrast, many of the firms that were affected by the General Agreement on the Trade of Services did not know where their interests lay in the multilateral negotiations and only began to work with their governments very late in the process. This paper shows that the preference evolution of service companies - both the first movers and the late comers - cannot be explained with reference to material rationality only. As a radically new trade issue, service trade was a realm of great uncertainty for business and they relied on social devices rather than pure economic calculations to determine how to position themselves on liberalization. In times of uncertainty, the differential logic of social embeddedness and the institutional constraints of a firm's national setting are therefore a more appropriate indicator for business demands than material incentives arising from the global economy.}, language = {en} } @article{Hassel, author = {Hassel, Anke}, title = {Twenty Years after German Unification: The Restructuring of the German Welfare and Employment Regime}, series = {German Politics \& Society}, volume = {28}, journal = {German Politics \& Society}, number = {95}, publisher = {Berghahn}, address = {New York [u.a.]}, issn = {1045-0300}, doi = {10.3167/gps.2010.280207}, pages = {102 -- 115}, abstract = {German unification acted as a catalyst for the substantial transformation of the German welfare and employment regime which has taken place over the last two decades.
