   Collapse of Doha forces acceptance of second best
Source: Financial Times
Focus: Legislation and Legal Framework, Public Policy Development
Summary: So it is especially frustrating for Mr [Celso Amorim] that the collapse of the talks was caused by India's refusal to give ground on measures to protect its non-farm sectors and by unwillingness by China and even Argentina, Brazil's main partner in the Mercosur customs union, to join Brazil in making similar concessions in the name of a multilateral agreement. The Doha talks stumbled several t ... Read More

   Italy gets tough on crime but neglects corruption
Source: Financial Times
Focus: Legislation and Legal Framework, Public Policy Development
Summary: Given Mr [Silvio Berlusconi]'s mastery of the media, his leftwing rivals accuse him of fuelling the sense of fear that he offers to assuage. Ministers in the previous centre-left government felt constantly undermined by negative reporting that played up savage crimes allegedly committed by foreigners - notably the case of a naval officer's wife whose grisly murder became a campaign theme in the el ...

   Entry of big foreign banks has not widened access to include India's poor
Source: Financial Times
Focus: Legislation and Legal Framework, Public Policy Development
Summary: Of a total 602 districts in India, nearly two-thirds (391) have inadequate banking cover. Banks are reluctant to open branches in "under-banked" regions because of concerns over meeting profitability criteria. According to the Reserve Bank of India, of 933 bank branches opened during between June 2005 and July 2006, just two were opened in under-banked areas. Recent studies have pointed out that 7 ...

 Public Management Review
Description:

Public Management Review is an international journal, seeking to draw together and learn lessons from the development of public management across the world rather than being parochially focused upon one area and encourages cross-national and comparative research papers.

The journal promotes inter-disciplinary work. Much of the most important work about public management is coming at the cusp of traditional disciplines. Public Management Review promotes such cross-boundary learning and conceptualisation.

This journal is uniquely placed to offer a leading light on the rapidly developing interest in public management across the world, and especially in Europe, North America and the Pacific Rim. It covers such key issues as:

  • social policy making and implementation in the plural state
  • inter-sectoral (government non-profit-for profit) relationships
  • the evaluation and critique of the 'new public management' paradigm
  • governance institutions and processes
  • globalization and convergence in public management
  • state reform and structural adjustment, and the operational/ strategic management of public service organisations, including such issues as contracting, marketing and strategic management.

 The Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences - TRSA
Country: Romania
Description: The Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences (TRAS) was first published in 1998 as a response to an increasing need for specialized scientific journals in the field of administrative sciences in Romania. TRAS features an interdisciplinary approach to the aforementioned field and it is meant to be useful for both the academic community and the practitioners.

TRAS has an international board formed of specialists in the field of public administration. By means of a project financed by the Foundation for an Open Society, the Review is now available online free of charge, at www.rtsa.ro. The Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences is also listed at www.ebsco.com. The Review is listed in the International Bibliography of Social Sciences (www.lse.ac.uk/collections/IBSS) and at the national level it is ranked by the National Council for Scientific Research (CNCSIS) B (B stands for journals that have the potential to be internationally recognized).  

The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. From the standpoint of the topic covered, the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration.

Until 2003 two issues of the Review were published per year. Starting with 2004 the board’s effort was aimed at publishing three issues per year.
