Regulating Audiovisual Services
In recent years, the changing nature of audiovisual services has had a significant impact on regulatory policy and practice. The adoption of digital technology means that broadcasting, cable, satellite, the Internet and mobile telephony are converging, enabling each of them to deliver the same kinds of content and allowing users to exercise much greater choice over the kind of material that they receive and when they receive it. The essays examine the implications for regulatory design, asking whether there is still a role for traditional-style state controls, or whether other techniques, such as competition in the market and self-regulation, are more appropriate. They also explore how, in the digital era, structural issues of media ownership and control become problems of access and interconnection between services and how content regulation focuses more on problems raised by the interactions between providers and users, the relationship between freedom of information and technologies to control it and the international reach of the new media.
Democracy and Executive Power
A defense of regulatory agencies' efforts to combine public consultation with bureaucratic expertise to serve the interest of all citizens "This exceptional exploration of how four advanced democracies pursue legitimacy in the bureaucratic implementation of regulatory law makes an invaluable contribution."--Peter M. Shane, author of Madison's Nightmare: How Executive Power Threatens American Democracy The statutory delegation of rule-making authority to the executive has recently become a source of controversy. There are guiding models, but none, Susan Rose-Ackerman claims, is a good fit with the needs of regulating in the public interest. Using a cross-national comparison of public policy-making in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, she argues that public participation inside executive rule-making processes is necessary to preserve the legitimacy of regulatory policy-making.

Sachverhaltsgestaltende Jahresabschlußpolitik im Einzelabschluß bei gegebener Unternehmenskonstitution
Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Betrachtet man die im Statistischen Jahrbuch der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in toto publizierten Bilanzen und Erfolgsrechnungen der großen Kapitalgesellschaften, so ergibt sich für das Jahr 1989 ein aggregierter Jahresüberschuß von 19.739 Mio.

Redesigning Organizations
This book offers readers a deeper understanding of the Cyberspace, of how institutions and industries are reinventing themselves, helping them excel in the transition to a fully digitally connected global economy. Though technology plays a key part in this regard, societal acceptance is the most important underlying condition, as it poses pressing challenges that cut across companies, developers, governments and workers. The book explores the challenges and opportunities involved, current and potential future concepts, critical reflections and best practices. It addresses connected societies, new opportunities for governments, the role of trust in digital networks, and future education networks. In turn, a number of representative case studies demonstrate the current state of development in practice.
Demokratische Legitimation der dritten Gewalt
English summary: The judiciary is independent in its decision-making. Axel Tschentscher shows how democratic legitimation as defined by the prevailing formal model of democracy leads to inconsistent results. He outlines an alternative control model as the framework of democracy according to the German Basic Law. This model relies on potential control over the law as the primary criterion for democratic legitimacy. As long as substantive control ist present, the requsite level of legitimation according to the Basic Law can be attained even without the elements of personal and organizational chains of command. The extent to which the lawmaker takes responsibility for the results of judicial de...
Mass Media and Politics
The author models the discussion of each topic in this text on the social scientific process by asking if theories exists to explain personal observations in politics and the media and if there is evidence to support the theories. End-of-chapter Active Learning exercises provide real-world examples of important concepts and ask students to collect and analyze data from various print and electronic media sources. The text includes an entire chapter on agenda setting--the media's ability to insert issues into public consciousness or increase perceived importance--which illuminates the related concepts of priming and framing.
