Official Statistics—A Plaything of Politics?: On the Interaction of Politics, Official Statistics, and Ethical Principles by Reimund Mink
English | PDF,EPUB | 2023 | 394 Pages | ISBN : 3031046234 | 42 MB

This book describes official statistics as a tool to hold up a mirror to society – but also as an instrument for those who can manipulate this mirror. It addresses the precarious interaction of politics, official statistics, and ethical principles. Three sets of themes can be derived from this relationship, which are the focus of this book: Political systems and guiding principles, official statistics as a science of the state, and ethical issues arising from them. Ultimately, the determining factor is the political system that exists in each case.

The Capacity of Local Governments in Europe: Autonomy, Responsibilities and Reforms by Sabine Kuhlmann, Benoît Paul Dumas, Moritz Heuberger
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 129 Pages | ISBN : 3031079612 | 7.3 MB

This book compares local self-government in Europe. It examines local institutional structures, autonomy, and capacities in six selected countries - France, Italy, Sweden, Hungary, Poland, and the United Kingdom - each of which represents a typical model of European local government. Within Europe, an overall trend towards more local government capacities and autonomy can be identified, but there are also some counter tendencies to this trend and major differences regarding local politico-administrative settings, functional responsibilities, and resources. The book demonstrates that a certain degree of local financial autonomy and fiscal discretion is necessary for effective service provision.
