Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Public sector management and accounting scholarship has witnessed enormous change over the last four decades. Several reform paradigms have become well-known and disseminated worldwide under acronyms such as NPM – New Public Management NPG – New Public Governance and PV – Public Value. At the start of a new decade questions arise as to what will come next. This book reviews and investigates the key components of NPM NPM and PV and discusses what lies beyond these acronyms. It analyses the claimed benefits and drawbacks of each of the three paradigms using reviews of the pertinent literature as well as a raft of case studies. The integration of theoretical and empirical insights contributes to a better understanding of what has changed and what has remained the same over the years. Specifically this book stands out in its use of performance measurement and budgetary lenses to explore the multidimensional processes of reform and change in the public sector. By focusing on the crucially important transformations that have occurred in the field reviewing several paradigms and analysing different practices from a longitudinal and comparative perspective the book will be essential in guiding students and scholars of public management and accounting. | Budgeting and Performance Management in the Public Sector

Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design US Laws EU Design Rights and Other Dimensions of Protection

Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design US Laws EU Design Rights and Other Dimensions of Protection

Exploring the debate over the benefits of legal protection for fashion design this book focuses on how a combination of minimal legal protections for design evolving social norms digital technology and market forces can promote innovation and creativity in a business known for its fast-paced remixing and borrowing. Focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of the main US and EU IP laws that protect fashion design in the world’s biggest fashion markets it describes how recent US case law in copyright and trademark cases has led to misaligned incentives for the industry and a lack of clear protection while in the EU the CJEU’s interpretation of the pan-European design rights system has created significant overlap with copyright law and risks leading to the overprotection of design. The book proposes that creativity and innovation in fashion derive some benefit from a limited unregistered design right protection and that cumulation with copyright protection is unhelpful. It also proposes that there is a larger role for developing social norms relating to sustainability the ethics of cultural appropriation and the online shaming of counterfeiters that can also help create a fair equilibrium between protection and borrowing in fashion design. | Protecting Creativity in Fashion Design US Laws EU Design Rights and Other Dimensions of Protection

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

China is often seen as a monolith outside its borders. However heterogeneity and interculturality have characterized the Middle Kingdom for centuries. Today China’s take on diversity is too easily disparaged or perceived as ambiguous – as if China was not legitimate to take part in conversations about it. The authors wish to contribute to global discussions about interculturality in education which have often been dominated by ‘Western’ voices by problematizing a very specific Chinese perspective called Minzu (‘ethnic’) education. Minzu is presented as a potential companion to other forms of diversity education (multicultural intercultural transcultural cross-cultural global education). Without claiming that they have found a miraculous and one-size-fits all recipe they argue that the lessons learnt from researching various aspects of Minzu in Chinese education can also help students researchers educators and decision-makers unthink and rethink the central issue of interculturality. As such the book introduces the complexity contradictions and benefits of Minzu while helping the reader consider how compatible and complementary it could be with discussions of interculturality in other parts of the world. The book also aims at making readers observe critically their own contexts. This book was written with an open mind and it should be read with the same. | Revitalizing Interculturality in Education Chinese Minzu as a Companion

Connecting fieldwork undertaken in Australia and New Zealand with the global practices of technology companies Wilson-Barnao brings attention to an emerging new model of digital ownership and moderation.
