In ensuring the public sector governance, decentralisation \u0000has been considered as the primary initiative. However, most of the previous \u0000empirical studies concentrate on political decentralisation meanwhile excluding \u0000administrative decentralisation and mediation effect of contingent factors i.e. \u0000technological capacity and institutional culture as institutional \u0000characteristics. In view of the aforementioned missing knowledge, the article \u0000investigated the influence of administrative decentralisation on public sector \u0000governance considering the mediation effect of institutional characteristics adopting \u0000Stewardship theory and Contingency theory. The article collected data from Dar \u0000es Salaam, Dodoma and Kigoma through self-administered questionnaire and \u0000analysed by using Mean scores and Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results \u0000revealed that administrative decentralisation had significant positive \u0000influence on public sector accountability and transparency. Moreover, \u0000technological capacity and institutional culture partially mediated the \u0000relationship between administrative decentralisation and, public sector \u0000accountability and transparency. In view of such results, among others, the \u0000article recommends that there is a need of developing the National \u0000Decentralisation Strategy (NADIS) to guide the decentralisation process and \u0000ensure its effective implementation for the sake of achieving public sector \u0000governance goals.","PeriodicalId":91589,"journal":{"name":"Open journal of political science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48583359","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}

The consequence of a still “undisciplined” journalism on this \u0000issue is the strengthening of the common sense of xenophobic prejudice \u0000driven by two phenomena that are \u0000increasingly affecting digital platforms: online (mis)information (fake \u0000news and information overload) and hate speech. For the purpose of the \u0000research, among the episodes of online violence that emerged and highlighted in \u0000the literature, it was considered important to dwell on an interesting case of \u0000analysis concerning the perception of the migration phenomenon in relation to \u0000the role of digital media and the narrative modalities used to influence public \u0000opinion through stereotypes and prejudices. In addition, an attempt was made to understand how young \u0000university students judge migration policies and the behaviour of institutions \u0000towards this issue. The study highlighted which social constructions of \u0000immigration have most permeated the target population and influenced their way \u0000of using traditional and digital media, as well as the elaboration of \u0000communication strategies and policies adopted by local, national and European \u0000institutions in the field of immigration.","PeriodicalId":91589,"journal":{"name":"Open journal of political science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47525536","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}

“Grabbing the ‘Bull’ by the ‘Horns’”: A Critical Analysis of the Establishment of AfCFTA “牛角抓牛”——对AfCFTA成立的批判性分析

But several regional blocs, \u0000including the Tripartite Free Trade Areas (T-FTA), have all missed their \u0000deadlines set to achieve the objectives of the Abuja Treaty of 1991 in six \u0000stages. This means that the launch of the CFTA has become a parallel process \u0000with immediate effect since all FTAs and T-FTA are to collapse into the Af- CFTA when \u0000trading commences. The question therefore is, why hasn’t the AU waited until it \u0000can harmonize, that is, combine existing arrangements of trade and the movement \u0000of persons, under its “building blocs” concept for continental unity? In \u0000launching the AfCFTA by the AU, does such a “hasty act,” tantamount to the \u0000removal of layers of complexity in Africa’s existing arrangements? The \u0000prevailing continental state system in Africa, according to functionalists, contributes to continental \u0000tensions and conflicts because it is institutionally inadequate. Accordingly, \u0000it cannot deal with the basic continental problems because it has arbitrarily \u0000divided continental society into national units based on territory, and not on the problems (or issues) to be solved. This is because any successful integration project \u0000requires autonomous and credible central institutions that can act as motors of \u0000acceleration. Employing theories of functionalism and neo-functionalism, this \u0000paper is of the view that the attempt to launch the AfCFTA by the AU is an act \u0000of rebooting the dormant Custom Unions across the respective RECs. The action \u0000by the AU is to arrest their failures, hence “grabbing the bull by the horns,” so as to empower and also embolden RECs to own the regional \u0000integration processes and to build resilience against global shocks.","PeriodicalId":91589,"journal":{"name":"Open journal of political science","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47519853","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}

This is carried out through the use of the functioning cycle of public policy in Poland proposed by Zybała (2015) that stresses the specificities of Polish conditions in the public policy-making. Hence, the aim of the study is to provide an overview of public policy-making on urban regeneration in the context of legislative and institutional-administrative practices. In the light of increasingly complex challenges faced by cities, there is a need for the necessary counter-balancing regeneration measures taking a form of state sponsored public policy. Therefore, the Act on Regeneration was adopted in 2015. The paper concludes that the adoption of this Act was dominated by the legislator which, with relatively little contribution from other stakeholders, resulted in a rather unambitious set of legal provisions on regeneration that have not substantially changed the instrumental approach of local authorities to urban regeneration.","PeriodicalId":91589,"journal":{"name":"Open journal of political science","volume":"90 1","pages":"204 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83927813","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}
