	GOVERNANCE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Governance, on the other hand, conveys the administrative and process-oriented elements of governing rather than its antagonistic ones.
		Corporate organizations often use the word ''governance'' to describe the manner in which boards or their like direct a corporation, and laws and customs applying to that direction.
		A fair governance implies that these mechanisms function in a way that allows the executives (the "agents") to respect the rights and interests of the stakeholders (the "principals"), in a spirit of democracy.

		Although the term governance is often used synonymously with the term government it tends rather to be used to describe the processes and systems by which a government or governor operate.
		The term governance is also applied in industry, and especially in the information technology (IT), sector to describe the processes that need to be followed in a successful depatment, team or project.
		A fair governance implies that these mechanisms are organized in a way that allows the rights and interests of the stakeholders (the "principals") to be respected by the executives (the "agents"), in a spirit of democracy.

		Governance operates across a broad front and is the means to implement the qaccumulkated policies of successive governments.
		The current government, for example, has avoided attempts to address the problems it inherited, opting instead to reshape the role of the state in the national economy.
		The government is concentrating on increasing internal and foreign investment, which is all well and good, but it is only one weapon in the battle for increased production.

	Civics - One Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Civics is the science of comparative government and means of administering public trusts - the theory of governance as applied to state institutions.
		Of special concern are the choice of a form of government and (if this is any form of democracy) the design of an electoral system and ongoing electoral reform.
		Civics was often simply concerned with the balance of power between say an aristocracy and monarchy - a concern echoed to this day in the struggles for power between different levels of rulers - say of the weaker nation-states to establish a binding international law that will have an effect even on the stronger ones.

	Order of the House of Mathematics
		A problem for a methematician seems to have something to do with identification of a relatively complex pattern for which there is no explanation in simpler terms.
		An already solved mathematical problem may be repeatedly presented as exercises to student mathematicians (or those from another branch of mathematics) who may or may not be able to solve it without assistance.
		Also intriguing is that the proof that a problem is solved may be so complex that it may require an inaccessible level of expertise to validate it (cf the case of of the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem).

	What to do about Wicked Problems after Whitehall
		The problems agitating representative democracy today are rooted in an antinomy that has bedevilled self government since the end of the nineteenth century: Formally, democracy requires that all citizens be treated alike, regardless of differences in their life circumstances.
		The vehemence of the reaction was a response to the backlog of unsolved problems.
		The clearer the purposes of government, and the more measurable the results of its actions, of course, the easier it is to translate the tasks of public administration into contracts, and to hold contractual partners to account if they fail to meet their obligations.

		Saying, for example, that high levels of interest in civic affairs and voting facilitate the governance of cities is not saying the same twice, but the conceptual "space" between antecedent and consequent is so small as to make the assertion commonplace.
		For instance, the call for higher social capital as a solution to the problems of the inner city misdiagnoses the problem and can lead to both a waste of resources and new frustrations.
		It is not the lack of social capital, but the lack of objective economic resources—beginning with decent jobs—that underlies the plight of impoverished urban groups.

		She decided to launch a women's organization resembling the U.S. Congress and paralleling the levels of U.S. government, so that "mother thought" could be carried into all spheres of American life.
		Once the Congress of Mothers began to take shape, as prominent women wrote to their counterparts in states and localities, it immediately turned to influencing local, state, and national governments to work in partnership with it for the good of all mothers and children.

	Beached Whales die due to Sonar Testing
		Sadly, slick propaganda programs dispensed by in-house "experts" have succeeded in convincing a slumbering media and uninformed populous that the dolphins and whales are unaffected by intensely explosive blasts ripping through their ocean home with sustained intensity for hundreds of miles, causing damage and death in their wake.
		Thus, in contrast to government claims of safety, outraged boat captains, swimmers, independent researchers, and environmentalists have observed this technology to be highly disruptive and deadly to marine life, even at the considerably lower decibels used during brief public testing than those planned for actual extensive and classified use.
		In view of this seeming bias in favor of LFAS and the dual role it creates for the NMFS, should they ever concede to test the ears or tissue of stranded marine corpses for sonar exposure, the public would be wise to insist that non government-funded and independent researchers bear witness to their exams.

		The General Assembly is composed of delegates appointed by national governments on the basis of one vote for each national delegation, regardless of the populations of the countries represented.
		World Governance is a term which is used by people who either reject the concept of genuine World Government, or who deliberately want to be vague in order to be accepted, or who may think the U.N. can be made to "work" without amendments.

		The government's decision to allocate Rs202 billion to the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) in the coming budget is encouraging.
		While the government did try to address this problem with a decision in March that development funds would not be allowed to lapse for three years, it is now apparent that the implementation of this decision is being hindered by legal and technical difficulties.

	Archived -- Raising the Educational Achievement of Secondary School Students - Volume 1; Resources for Improvement
		In many districts, adopting participatory governance models--involving administrators, teachers, support staff, parents, and community members--are part of a shift to site-based management, in which some decisions about budgeting and personnel are left up to the school.
		Whether reform is "top-down," "bottom-up," or a combination of the two, at some point successful programs draw on the insights of teachers and others most affected by the change, and schools very often manage their own implementation.
		Innovation often begins by discussing knotty problems and then moving to map a path between "what is" and "what could be." Reforms in many of the schools profiled here began with teachers coming together to brainstorm options for change.

	Environment after 10 years of transition - Bedrich Moldan
		Historians haven't made an objective assessment of how much environmental problems contributed to the revolutions of 1989 and 1990, but for those who lived in Central and East European then, we know that the environment was one of the main issues on political agendas in the late eighties.
		The environmental policy of the time period from the fall of communism until the last one or two years was essentially governed by the strong and explicit public demand for the substantial and rapid improvement of the disastrous environmental situation that was one of the most visible parts of the nasty communist legacy.
		At present, most of the CEE countries have entered a new stage with the new governing principle: accession to the European Union which is supported by the majority of population.

		Government failure and loss of public morale are related to the spread of corruption, particularly since corruption has become a normal way of operation for private interests.
		It has systematic or even constitutional aspects, with elements to overcome the transitional problems of the weak state and ease the confrontations of traditional notions such as independence versus territorial integrity, or the choice between federation and confederation, which are part of the present impasse.

		To be "effective," a head of government cannot be dominated by a single ruling party or a military junta, and the "fixed term" rule precludes discharge by a legislative no-confidence vote.
		Each major presidentialist problem is a kind of handicap: by itself it may not cause a breakdown but it becomes part of a cumulative and mutually reinforcing set of ruinous forces.
		In the light of the problems identified in Part II, we need not be astonished at the fate of the thirty or so polities that adopted the American presidentialist scheme, by contrast with the greater ability of parliamentary regimes to survive.
