The Oxford Handbook of Irish Politics
This andbook provides the most comprehensive coverage of Irish politics and society to date, and is the go-to resource for academics, students, policy-makers, and journalists.
Core Executives in a Comparative Perspective
This book examines the contemporary relevance of the concept of the core executive across a range of constitutional contexts, covering examples from Westminster system, continental Europe, and Scandinavia. Much study of core executives focuses exclusively on the Westminster system, but this book expands that scope to take into account nations where coalition government has been the norm for decades. Focusing on the interaction between the political and administrative executives, the book addresses tensions between the two that have become increasingly apparent in an age of populism and mediatisation.
The Supreme Court and McCarthy-Era Repression
In this volume, attorney Robert M. Lichtman provides a comprehensive history of the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in "Communist" cases during the McCarthy era. Lichtman shows the Court's vulnerability to public criticism and attacks by the elected branches during periods of political repression. The book describes every Communist-related decision of the era (none is omitted), placing them in the context of political events and revealing the range and intrusiveness of McCarthy-era repression. In Fred Vinson's term as chief justice (1946-53), the Court largely rubber-stamped government action against accused Communists and "subversives." After Earl Warren replaced Vinson as chief justice in 1...

Reforming Public Management and Governance
This book examines the impact of several decades of public sector reform in four Westminster systems – Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. Political and managerial change has re-defined roles and relationships and how their public sectors function. Often this occurs in comparable ways because of a common administrative tradition, but choices made in different country contexts also produce divergent outcomes. In analysing the results and implications of reform, fundamental issues of and tensions in public administration and management are addressed.
Understanding and Improving Public Management Reforms
• Uses powerful concepts to show decision-makers how to understand and improve public management reforms; • Draws on economics, psychology and organizational sociology to provide a rounded framework for analysis and policy design; • A concise and accessible book practitioners with examples, cases and “myth buster” sections.
Embedded Cryptography 1
Embedded Cryptography provides a comprehensive exploration of cryptographic techniques tailored for embedded systems, addressing the growing importance of security in devices such as mobile systems and IoT. The books explore the evolution of embedded cryptography since its inception in the mid-90s and cover both theoretical and practical aspects, as well as discussing the implementation of cryptographic algorithms such as AES, RSA, ECC and post-quantum algorithms. The work is structured into three volumes, spanning forty chapters and nine parts, and is enriched with pedagogical materials and real-world case studies, designed for researchers, professionals, and students alike, offering insights into both foundational and advanced topics in the field. Embedded Cryptography 1 is dedicated to software side-channel attacks, hardware side-channel attacks and fault injection attacks.
ICT, Public Administration and Democracy in the Coming Decade
The physicist Neils Bohr allegedly wrote that “Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future”. Many academics believe that serious scholars should never attempt to write about the future, but some awareness of the ways in which the future of e-government may evolve is needed if well-grounded long-term decisions about issues such as infrastructures, institutions and educational programs are to be made. In addition, future-oriented research is of the utmost importance for informed public debate about technological developments with far reaching societal implications. This book marks the 25th anniversary of the permanent study group on e-government of the European Group for Publ...
Politics in a Changing Ireland 1960-2007
"This book will not chronologically describe the life and times of Seamus Pattison. That is not to say that it is devoid of a biographical orientation. On the contrary, key parts of Seamus's lengthy career and that of his late father, James P. Pattison, are narrated and illuminated. The questions therefore arise as to what role Seamus Pattison plays in the book. The authors see him primarily as a lens through which to observe and analyse aspects of Irish politics over a period of some fifty years. The book is thematic in its approach. Themes such as constituency work, the office of the Ceann Comhairle, and the role of Parliament are discussed. Drawing on over forty interviews with Seamus, academic literature and popular sources, the book adopts an analytical approach. Crucially the authors see Seamus Pattison as a most useful scholarly resource. He helps us to understand better how Irish politics works. In his forty-five years as a member of Dail Eireann, Seamus Pattison has witnessed significant changes in Irish political life."--BOOK JACKET.
