This paper investigates government-non-profit partnership for disaster management in a western state of India. Applying the interview method, the study focuses on the challenges facing government and non-profit organisations in their cross-sector collaboration initiatives, using social capital theory as a framework. The findings indicate that elements of social capital, such as trust and collaboration, are important for establishing a network of relationships to respond to the aftermath of disasters. This will generate norms, shared meaning, and common values among the network of organisations from both sectors. Such common understanding of vision and goals will help collaborations at the time of emergency events and reduce the challenges of networked relationships.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":"452 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66662848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our view, though the Murray Inquiry takes the agenda further there are several areas in which its policy prescriptions are found wanting.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66662857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article we have developed and tested a tool that enables examination of the effect of steering by multiple principals on an agency's compliance with EU laws. On the basis of multiple principal-agent theory we have developed an explanatory typology to predict an agency's level of compliance by configuring the principals' and agency's preferences and the steering mechanisms resulting from the convergence or divergence in preferences. The typology is tested in an embedded case study of the implementation of the Port State Control Directive in the Netherlands. The results show that the typology is able to explain two of the three cases. To enhance the explanatory power of the typology, we suggest including the strength of steering instruments used by principals as additional factor in the typology.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66662790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time series data from Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education of Government of Namibia, Namibia Statistics Agency and World Bank during the period between 1980 and 2015 has been used for the purpose of analysis. A comparison of growth in such expenditures, GDP and other human development indicators has been made between the pre-and post-independence periods. Finally, impacts of changes in healthcare and education expenditure on reduction in mortality, increase in life expectancy at birth, rising literacy and growth of people acquiring higher/technical education, etc. have been examined by using regression analysis. It is revealed that the Namibian people are better off now as compared to the pre-independence era. However, policy changes adopted at the time of independence has not been highly successful in transforming life of the Namibian people as expected. There are still a lot of scopes for the improvement of fiscal management in the country.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66662724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the conventional view, left-oriented governments are more likely to increase health spending. However, the impact of government ideology on health policy payoff is still a question for discussion. This paper examines how the ideological differences of ruling parties influence the efficiency of health systems. We use four stage data envelopment analysis (DEA), a non-parametric approach, to measure the health efficiency of 31 OECD countries for the period of 2001-2016. Based on the results from a panel tobit regression model, we show that while left-wing governments tend to increase public health spending, the efficiency of health systems is higher under ideologically balanced and/or right-wing governments.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66662777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saturation triggers a Minsky super-cycle, characterised by high debt, high income inequality and financial instability. We argue that monetary policies such as negative interest rates and yield curve targeting can be effective in combating recessionary conditions in an unsaturated economy, but yield to problems in a saturated economy as misallocations may generate bubbles. We find that maintaining a growth rate which corresponds to the demand growth rate at which consumers replenish their stock of goods, smooth out the business cycle in an unsaturated economy, while technological development and demographic modification is the only possible way to prevent or combat the saturation of an economy.","PeriodicalId":35027,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Public Policy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/ijpp.2019.103018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45928357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
