Social Accounting and Public Management
Social accounting as a discipline has challenged the methodology and focus of the larger field of accounting over the last 50 years. More recently it has taken on greater significance for other subjects as well, addressing issues for public policy and management more broadly. These include the issues of the nature of accountability in the contemporary plural state, environmental and societal sustainability, the ethical management and governance of public services and resources, and the creation and sustenance of social capital as an essential element of the modern plural state. Social Accounting and Public Management brings together for the first time researchers from a range of disciplines including accounting, political science, management, sociology and policy studies to discuss and develop our knowledge and theory of the nature of ‘accountability’ in contemporary global society and the challenges it may pose for public policy and management. This book addresses this nexus of all of these issues and disciplines, and through this, makes a contribution to the development of the disciplines of both social accounting and public policy and management.

Engagementpolitik
Die Verbesserung der Rahmenbedingungen des bürgerschaftlichen Engagements und die Stärkung zivilgesellschaftlicher Infrastrukturen haben seit der Enquete-Kommission „Zukunft des Bürgerschaftlichen Engagements“ als Anliegen an Bedeutung gewonnen.

Der Band bietet umfassende Darstellungen von Leitbildern und ideengeschichtlichen Bezügen der Engagementpolitik, analysiert die Mitwirkung gesellschaftlicher Akteure an den engagementpolitischen Entscheidungsprozessen im föderalen System Deutschlands sowie im europäischen Vergleich. Präsentiert werden zudem differenzierte Darstellungen von Feldern der Engagementpolitik – Bildung, Integration, Arbeitsmarkt- und Beschäftigungspolitik, Gesundheitswesen und Pflege, Umwelt und „welfare mix“ im Bereich sozialer Dienste sowie eine demokratiepolitische Bilanz.
Wall of Illusion
I was born in Jarabina in Northeastern Slovakia in 1939, a town of approximately 280 homes founded in 1329. The town consisted of private homes, a church, a school (up to the 6th grade) and a general store with a bar and a dance hall for the town’s use for weddings and dances on special holidays. I was born in 1939 at the start of World War II. This was written because of the urging of my children without whose encouragement, it would not have been written. I hope you enjoy reading it.—Love Dad.
