Democratic backsliding and public administration : how populists in government transform state bureaucracies
No full textBased on a conference held at the European Univeristy Institute in 2019.Liberal democracy is at risk. Its hallmark institutions – political pluralism, separation of powers, and rule of law—are coming under pressure, as authoritarian sentiment is growing around the globe. While liberal-democratic backsliding features prominently in social science scholarship, especially the branches concerned with political parties and political behavior, public administration research lags behind. However, without considering illiberal approaches towards the executive, efforts of actual and aspiring authoritarians remain only partly understood. State bureaucracies are, after all, important instruments of power. This timely and important volume addresses the administrative implications of liberal-democratic backsliding. It studies public administrations as objects and subjects in the context of illiberal dynamics. For this purpose, the volume brings together an international group of scholars to analyze authoritarian tendencies in several countries. The contributions combine theoretical with empirical work, providing the first comparative perspective on an overlooked aspect of one of the most important contemporary political trends.Introduction: Populists, Democratic Backsliding, and Public Administration, Michael W.

The Abstraction and Modelling of Management Agents
No full textion and Modelling of Management Agents Graeme S. Perrow, James W. Hong, Hanan L. Lutfiyya, and Michael A. Bauer Department of Computer Science University of Western Ontario {graeme,jwkhong,hanan,bauer}@csd.uwo.ca Abstract Management agents play an important role in distributed systems and network management. Agents are used to gather information, create, delete, and change the state of managed objects, and forward notifications of events from managed objects to managers. All management agents perform the same basic operations, yet there is no precise specification of the capabilities and architecture of generic management agents. As a result, developing management agents at present is difficult and time-consuming. This paper presents the design of a generic management agent and describes the architecture and service interface of such an agent. We also present an implementation of a management agent creation tool for automating the creation of management agents (CMIP, SNMP and other..
O (nieco zapomnianym) mistrzu fantastyki. Sprawozdanie z konferencji Niekończący się Michael Ende – sylwetka, sygnatura, strategie fantastyczne (Kraków, 8 listopada 2019 roku)
No full textNiniejszy tekst jest sprawozdaniem z konferencji Niekończący się Michael Ende – sylwetka, syg-natura, strategie fantastyczne, która odbyła się 8 listopada 2019 roku w Krakowie. Autorka przedstawia w nim wyznaczone przez organizatorów cele, z których najważniejszym wydaje się przypomnienie postaci oraz twórczości tego wybitnego, a jednocześnie nieco zapomnianego nad Wisłą klasyka literatury fantastycznej. Najwięcej uwagi poświęca przebiegowi konferencji, krótko omawiając wszystkie wygłoszone podczas sesji referaty. Zwraca uwagę na interdyscyplinarny charakter spotkania, wskazując ponadto możliwe kierunki poszerzenia refleksji dotyczącej twórczości niemieckiego pisarza wyznaczane przez przywoływaną literaturę przedmiotu.The text summarizes the conference “The NeverEnding Michael Ende – profile, signature, fantasy strategies”, which took place on 8 November 2019 in Kraków. The author describes the organizers’ objectives, among which the main aim was to remind attendees of the profile and work of Michael Ende – a remarkable fantasy writer who is nowadays somewhat forgotten in Poland. The paper focuses in particular on the course of the conference, briefly summing up all the presentations and emphasizing the interdisciplinary nature of the meeting. Based on the critical studies and further source literature, the author indicates some potential ways in which the reception of Ende’s work could develop

The economic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a macroeconomic analysis
No full textThis report estimates the macroeconomic and fiscal impacts of Hurricane Sandy on the economy of New Jersey using the R/ECON™ forecasting model of the state’s economy. The model consists of more than 250 quarterly time-series equations and 30 employment sectors.The analysis takes into account both the economic losses resulting from the hurricane and the offsetting positive economic impacts associated with recovery and reconstruction spending in the months and years following the storm.However, the estimates of impacts depend upon the restoration expenditures actually being made. If the funds for these restoration and recovery expenditures are not made available, the offsetting positive impacts to the economy will not occur and the New Jersey economy will be significantly damaged. See Section 3 for estimates of the negative impacts if restoration expenditures are not made.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 34, January 2013, in Rutgers Regional Report
