Enhanced Parliamentary Oversight: Promoting Good Governance in Smaller States de Frederick Stapenhurst

Enhanced Parliamentary Oversight: Promoting Good Governance in Smaller States: Routledge Research in Public Administration and Public Policy

Editat de Frederick Stapenhurst, Anthony Staddon, Isabelle Watkinson, Lesley Burns
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2024
Very little research has been conducted on how parliamentary oversight is undertaken in small countries and jurisdictions or across the southern African region (excluding South Africa). This groundbreaking book fills that void, providing rich insights into how oversight works in these countries.
Featuring an expert group of scholars and practitioners, the book builds off previous research projects to offer detailed case study examinations of oversight across various global regions, including various Australian and Canadian jurisdictions, UK Crown and Overseas dependencies, Caribbean islands, autonomous Nordic territories, Southern Africa and several Pacific island states. Contributors present the most recent data on current developments in the world, including sub-national parliaments, drawing on primary research and first-hand experiences to offer greater theoretical and practical understanding into practices that could be adapted to improve oversight and governance, reduce corruption and boost economic development.
Enhanced Parliamentary Oversight will be an important book for practitioners, governments and both scholars and students of legislative studies, international relations and public administration.

Recenzii

"The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association has an active Small Branches network for jurisdictions with a population of under one million. This excellent book will be of particular interest to them but has lessons for a wider audience. It builds upon previous research on the role and importance of financial oversight to good governance, drawing upon a diverse range of examples from within and outside the Commonwealth. I was particularly interested to read the chapter about best practice which concludes that there is neither a "silver bullet" nor a "one size fits all" guide, arguing instead for a "best fit" approach and for future research to be country-focused. There is a fascinating annex about Offshore Financial Centres (OFCs) and I would welcome further research into parliamentary oversight of OFCs."
Stephen Twigg, Secretary-General, Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA)
"Overseeing and scrutinizing government action is a key function of parliaments and legislatures. It requires the proper institutions, sufficient resources and the right skills of MPs and their staff. Comparing the practice of financial oversight in small parliaments around the globe provides for an enlightening study: first, it has received little academic attention so far. But more important, the diversity and variation can help identify good practices to be applied elsewhere."
Sven T. Siefken, Professor of Political Science, Federal University of Applied Administrative Sciences, Germany
