Corporate governance continues to evolve, especially in a South African context where companies must deal with the combined effects of environmental challenges, socio-political uncertainty and impediments to economic growth. The second edition of Corporate Governance in South Africa contains essential details on the principles and practices of good governance outlined in the first edition. It builds on these concepts by covering the latest developments in the sustainability reporting space, incorporating recent research findings on integrated thinking and clarifying the core features of outcomes-based governance. This book demonstrates to governing bodies, users of corporate reports, practitioners and academics how corporate governance is not just a compliance exercise but something central to the generation of superior financial returns and long-term sustainable development.

Local Self-Government and the Right to the City

Local Self-Government and the Right to the City

Warren Magnusson

McGill-Queen's University Press
2015
sidottu
Despite decades of talk about globalization, democracy still depends on local self-government. In Local Self-Government and the Right to the City, Warren Magnusson argues that it is the principle behind claims to personal autonomy, community control, and national self-determination, and holds the promise of more peaceful politics. Unfortunately, state-centred thinking has obscured understanding of what local self-government can mean and hindered efforts to make good on what activists have called the "right to the city." In this collection of essays, Magnusson reflects on his own efforts to make sense of what local self-government can actually mean, using the old ideal of the town meeting as a touchstone. Why cannot communities govern themselves? Why fear direct democracy? As he suggests, putting more trust in the proliferating practices of government and self-government will actually make cities work better, and enable us to see how to localize democracy appropriately. He shows that doing so will require citizens and governments to come to terms with the multiplicity, indeterminacy, and uncertainty implicit in politics and steer clear of sovereign solutions. The culmination of a life's work by Canada's leading political theorist in the field, Local Self-Government and the Right to the City ranges across topics such as local government, social movements, constitutional law, urban political economy, and democratic theory.

Economics, Governance and Law

Economics, Governance and Law

Warren J. Samuels

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2002
sidottu
This coherent collection of previously published and unpublished papers also includes a specially written introduction by Warren Samuels. The book examines some of the fundamental issues in political economy in a non-judgemental and non-ideological way. The political economy is a process of decision making and these papers attempt to identify the deepest levels of conduct of collective choice. These include official and private government, the 'rule of law', the nature of property, rules and markets, deliberative and non-deliberative choice, and the operation of selective perception and of intellectual fraud in politics. After an objective reading of these essays, no reader should look at government, globalization, rule of law, constitutions, and revolution in quite the same way.

A very small book on American government

A very small book on American government

Warren Burda

Alpha Academic Press
2022

In Benjamin Franklin's words, "if you can keep it" loom large before us as one thing after another tests this nation's ability to long endure, Covid 19 being the latest.Social media tends to make us think that we are not enough, that we are too divided and self-centered to continue to form a more perfect Union. While not ignoring the issues before our government and the private sector, this book believes that our nation and its people have what it takes to keep our sovereignty, to be both competent and compassionate citizens, and to continue to achieve the American Dream.The author and illustrator challenge us to think about our government, its role in our lives, suggestions to improve it, and our part in making sure it is secure for future generations. As they do so, we are introduced to a group of high school students who did their part to improve our government, the study of it, and public high school education; and to the story of The Pod, whose civil discourse rivals that of the Founding Fathers, and who refuse to let the divisiveness, hatred, and negativity of this world have the final say - for their families, for each other, and for this nation.

Information and Institutions of Government Accountability

Leonard Warren Cook; Robert David Hughes

Hughes Consulting Limited

The New Zealand form of the Westminster democracy enables quick responses when required; but flexibility comes at a cost - a weak ability to hold the government to account for its actions. New Zealand's small population size and limited resources mean that government is the main provider of information on its social, economic and environmental performance. The information that is provided is strongest at showing financial performance. In other areas of importance, the administration can collect and release information on important issues in a way that most favourably portrays its achievements.Information and Institutions of Government Accountability scrutinises the consequences of poor government accountability and the costs this imposes on some it its citizens. Citizens have successfully challenged government and instituted new information sources with improved outcomes for these people.Drawing on examples of past failures of government towards its citizens, Information and Institutions of Government Accountability presents the case for improved accountability. It concludes with a description of a new institutional structure needed to oversee the provision of trustworthy information.The New Zealand form of the Westminster democracy enables quick responses when required; but flexibility comes at a cost - a weak ability to hold the government to account for its actions.
