The Private Collector's Museum Public Good Versus Private Gain

The Private Collector's Museum Public Good Versus Private Gain

The Private Collector’s Museum connects the rising popularity of private museums with evolving models of collecting and philanthropy and new inter-relationships between private and public space. It examines how contemporary collectors construct museums to frame themselves as cultural arbiters of global distinction. By exploring a range of in-depth contemporary case studies the book aims for a more complex understanding of the private collector’s museum assessing how it is realised funded and understood in a broader cultural context. It examines the ways in which this particular museum model has evolved within a historical Western tradition of collecting and museum-building and considers how private museums will endure alongside their public counterparts. It also sheds light on the shifting patterns of collecting such as the transition of personal art collections into the public sphere. The developments are situated within the wider context of private–public engagement in general. Providing a new analysis of philanthropy public access and the museum The Private Collector’s Museum is essential reading for scholars and students interested in the private museum and key reading for those interested in related issues. | The Private Collector's Museum Public Good Versus Private Gain

The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

This book examines the role of the private sector in emergency management and how that role is changing through private sector intersections with government government agencies and the public sectors in all phases of emergency management. It particularly focuses on the areas in which government regulations and guidelines promote or encourage private sector involvement and looks at best practices for public–private partnerships as well as some of the common pitfalls of the contracting model. The private sector now plays a tremendous role in the creation of policies related to emergency management and their implementation at the federal state and local levels. The Private Sector’s Role in Disasters: Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management explores some of the challenges of implementing policies in the current contracting model. It also compares emergency management to other government services that have been privatized. Case studies of recent disasters and examples of the privatization of some emergency management functions are presented to illustrate how to better plan for private sector involvement in future disasters. Given the sometimes dysfunctional relationships that have emerged from public–private partnerships in disaster situations it is important to analyze and improve principles and practices to work toward more effective partnership. This book provides thoughtful guidelines recommendations and best-practice approaches to public–private development implementation and collaboration throughout the disaster cycle. It gives focused directions for cultivating public–private working relationships to make emergency responses quicker and assistance more effective. | The Private Sector's Role in Disasters Leveraging the Private Sector in Emergency Management

Value-creation in Middle Market Private Equity

Value-creation in Middle Market Private Equity

Value-creation in Middle Market Private Equity by John A. Lanier holistically examines the ecosystem relationships between middle market private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Small business is the job creating engine in the US economy and consequently is a prime target market for private equity investment. Indeed private equity backs over six of each 100 private sector jobs. Both the small businesses in which private equity firms invest and the private equity firms making the investments face inter- and intra-company fiduciary leadership challenges while implementing formulated strategy. The architecture of each private equity firm-portfolio company relationship must be uniquely crafted to capitalize on the projected return on investment that is memorialized in the investment thesis. Given the leveraged capital structure of portfolio companies the cost of a misstep is problematic. Individual private equity professionals are typically members of multiple investment teams for the firm. Not only may each investment team have its own unique leadership style but its diverse members have to assimilate styles for each team in which they participate relative to a specific portfolio company. Acquisitions and their subsequent integrations add exponential complexity for both private equity investment and portfolio company leadership teams; indeed cultural integration ranks among the most chronic acquisition obstacles. Accordingly the stakeholders of private equity transactions do well to embrace leadership best practices in applying value-creation toolbox best practices. The perspectives of both the private equity investment team and the portfolio company leadership team are within the scope of these chapters.

Doing Public Good? Private Actors Evaluation and Public Value

Doing Public Good? Private Actors Evaluation and Public Value

This book examines the contributions of non-public organizations such as foundations philanthropies charities non-governmental organizations private businesses and entrepreneurs to public goods and services. Too often the impact of the contributions of such private actors are overlooked. However they are playing an increasing role in meeting societal needs across the developing world. Doing Public Good? lays out key elements that need to be considered in evaluating the net results achieved by these private actors. It uses case studies and analysis to show how to answer such questions as: Is it working? How do they and the public know they are doing good? And how to improve? Such questions are particularly important since little is known about the net results of private avenues for delivering public value. The contributors conclude that doing good organizations need to be more transparent and accountable regarding their operations and achievements. The book suggests perspectives on how better monitoring and evaluation systems can improve their accountability. | Doing Public Good? Private Actors Evaluation and Public Value

Regulating Private Military Companies Conflicts of Law History and Governance

Regulating Private Military Companies Conflicts of Law History and Governance

This work examines the ability of existing and evolving PMC regulation to adequately control private force and it challenges the capacity of international law to deliver accountability in the event of private military company (PMC) misconduct. From medieval to early modern history private soldiers dominated the military realm and were fundamental to the waging of wars until the rise of a national citizen army. Today PMCs are again a significant force performing various security logistics and strategy functions across the world. Unlike mercenaries or any other form of irregular force PMCs acquired a corporate legal personality a legitimising status that alters the governance model of today. Drawing on historical examples of different forms of governance the relationship between neoliberal states and private military companies is conceptualised here as a form of a ‘shared governance'. It reflects states’ reliance on PMCs relinquishing a degree of their power and transferring certain functions to the private sector. As non-state actors grow in authority wielding power and making claims to legitimacy through self-regulation other sources of law also become imaginable and relevant to enact regulation and invoke responsibility. | Regulating Private Military Companies Conflicts of Law History and Governance

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Today India�s education sector remains a victim of poor policies restrictive regulations and orthodoxy. Despite being enrolled in schools children are not learning adequately. Increasingly parents are seeking alternatives through private inputs in school and tuition. Students are dropping out from secondary school in spite of high financial returns of secondary education and those who do complete it have inferior conceptual knowledge. Higher education is over-regulated and under-governed keeping away serious private providers and reputed global institutes. Graduates from high schools colleges and universities are not readily employable and few are willing to pay for skill development. Ironically the Right to Education Act if strictly enforced will result in closure of thousands of non-state schools and millions of poor children will be left without access to education. Eleventh in the series India Infrastructure Report 2012 discusses challenges in the education sector � elementary secondary higher and vocational � and explores strategies for constructive change and opportunities for the private sector. It suggests that immediate steps are required to reform the sector to reap the benefits from India�s �demographic dividend� due to a rise in the working age population. Result of a collective effort led by the IDFC Foundation this Report brings together a range of perspectives from academics researchers and practitioners committed to enhancing educational practices. It will be an invaluable resource for policymakers researchers and corporates. | India Infrastructure Report 2012 Private Sector in Education

Public and Private Welfare in Modern Europe Productive Entanglements

Public and Private Welfare in Modern Europe Productive Entanglements

Since the 1980s neoliberals have openly contested the idea that the state should protect the socio-economic well-being of its citizens making ‘privatization’ their mantra. Yet as historians and social scientists have shown welfare has always been a ‘mixed economy’ wherein private and public actors dynamically interacted collaborating or competing with each other in the provision of welfare services. This book will be of interest to students scholars and practitioners of welfare by developing three innovative approaches. Firstly it illuminates the productive nature of public/private entanglements. Far from amounting to a zero-sum game the interactions between the two sectors have changed over time what welfare encompasses its contents and targets often engendering the creation of new fields of intervention. Secondly this book departs from a well-established tradition of comparison between Western nation-states by using and mixing various scales of analysis (local national international and global) and by covering case studies from Spain to Poland and France to Greece in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Thirdly this book goes beyond state centrism in welfare studies by bringing back a host of public and private actors from municipalities to international organizations from older charities to modern NGOs.
