Analyzing Race and Gender Dynamics in DACH Universities Through the Lens of Institutional Theory

Business Ethics

Political Corruption and Governance

This book explores how public sector organisations at both national and local levels of Swedish government work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations.Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining citizens' trust in public organisations. Whilst various performance indicators suggest that public governance works well and corruption is low, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden. It analyses how ethics management is used in public sector organisations, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion in public sector ethics management, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.&nbsp;It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practiitoners.&nbsp;Staffan Andersson
 is Associate Professor in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. His research interests include political and administrative ethics, corruption and anti-corruption.&nbsp;
 Helena Ekelund
 is Senior Lecturer in Political Science at Linnaeus University, Sweden. Her research interests include agency governance at national and EU levels.

This book explores how public sector organisations work to promote integrity and fight ethics violations. Integrity and ethical conduct are key to maintaining public confidence in these organisations. Many established and wealthy democracies face a paradoxical situation. While various performance indicators suggest that public governance works comparatively well and with relatively low corruption levels, citizens still perceive corruption and other ethics violations to be pertinent problems. In such contexts, ethics management plays an important role for upholding integrity. This book examines these issues in the context of Sweden, at both national and local levels of government. It analyses ethics management strategies in public sector organisations and the bodies that support their ethics work, offers new insights on staff and stakeholder inclusion, and presents practical solutions based on theoretically informed in-depth empirical research.It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and governance, as well as practitioners.

Hart Studies in Private Law

This book undertakes a unique enquiry into the puzzling doctrine of undisclosed agency. Following an introduction to the doctrine and those issues that its conceptual uncertainty poses for commerce, it then charts a course through the core categories of obligations: contract, equity, tort, and unjust enrichment. In each case, various theses are explored in detail in order to identify the most robust, compelling, and commercially-appropriate rationalisation of undisclosed agency. It brings much needed clarity to a complex field of private and commercial law.

Rationalising Undisclosed Agency

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

It is seldom, if ever, that readers and writers see the different stages of a piece of writing in progress. In this unique volume, 16 of the US's most distinguished writers pull back the curtain on their creative and revision processes whilst drafting their works of creative nonfiction. Using side-by-side examples of first drafts and final versions of their writing, including original full-page reproductions from the writers' personal notebooks, an original, illuminating essay accompanies each draft that recounts the journey from inspiration to completion. Offering a generous insight into the creative process from the rough bold strokes to refined, clear, elegant prose, this behind-the-scenes look delves into the creative minds of working writers, including African American, Latino, Asian American, and indigenous writers from across the US. An invaluable resource for students and instructors looking to enliven the classroom or just offering practicing writers a peak into the processes of their peers, this book presents the false starts and missteps, the self-editing, tinkering, cutting, rearranging, and craft working writers make in the plight for perfectly polished prose. With nothing like it on the market, The Art of Revising Creative Nonfiction is an enlightening and unparalleled collection of modern-day creativity in action, a must have for aspiring writers and teachers of all levels.

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

Governance and Public Management

This book examines public administration in Argentina. Bringing together leading scholars from across the country and beyond, it provides key recommendations for improving public sector effectiveness, strengthening strategic capacities, and fostering more responsive and inclusive governance. The book also aims to reinsert Argentina into global debates around public management, civil service reform, and administrative capacity. At a time when public administration in Argentina is currently "under siege" due to radical austerity, it provides important insights into broader international debates on democratic backsliding, policy dismantling, and the rise of the new right. In doing so, the book offers important insights for academics examining public administration in turbulent and contested political environments, as well as policymakers, civil servants, and practitioners.Nelson Cardozo

In Zeiten von Gender Pay Gap, Fachkräftemangel und Generation Z benötigen wir faire, transparente und diskriminierungsfreie Entgeltsysteme. Bisherige Vergütungssysteme sind längst nicht mehr zeitgemäß, in denen soziale Kompetenzen und Belastungen vernachlässigt wurden. Die EU-Entgelttransparenzrichtlinie, die bis Juni 2026&nbsp; geschlechterneutrale Entgeltsystem vorschreibt, setzt dafür neue Standards.&nbsp;
Dr. Stefan Waschmann ist selbstständiger Berater für Entgeltsysteme und Vorkämpfer für "Fair Pay". Sein Buch hilft dabei, Schwächen in Vergütungssystemen zu erkennen, analysiert die durch die Entgelttransparenzrichtlinie erforderlichen Veränderungen und skizziert ein diskriminierungsfreies Fair-Pay-Gehaltssystem. Er versteht dabei die von der EU vorgegebenen Kriterien zur Funktionsbewertung als Chance. Diese bilden die Grundlage für eine Equal-Pay-Stellenbewertung, die heutigen Anforderungen wie Innovation, Anpassungsfähigkeit, psychosozialen Belastungen und sozialer Verantwortung gerecht wird.

Chapultepec Girls weaves together threads of cultural, intellectual, and social history to examine how girls articulated a unique and previously unacknowledged vision of Mexican American culture and politics distinct from--and in some cases directly oppositional to--the political cultures of adult male-led Mexican organizations. Through a vivid microhistory of Club Feminino Chapultepec, a Houston-based organization, this book identifies Mexican American girls' radical politics in manifestos, speeches, and organized labor actions, as well as in the choreography of folk-dance expositions, the planning of enchilada dinner fundraisers and birthday party entertainment, and the contours of everyday working-class life. Chapultepec Girls reinterprets pochitas not as culturally delinquent or even passive victims but as a social and political vanguard, embedded within a sprawling, transnational web of activists, scholars, and political organizations that stretched from New York City to Mexico City and beyond.
