 Samuel Paul, "Managing Development Programs: The Lessons of Success: The Lessons Of Success" English | ISBN: 0367019396 | 2019 | 264 pages | EPUB | 6 MB Why do some development programs succeed while so many others fail? What role do managerial and institutional innovations play in program performance? Dr. Paul's comparative analysis of six successful development programs selected from Asia, Africa, and Latin America provides important answers to these questions. The study shows that a clear focus on a single goal or service; decentralization; the use of network structures and beneficiary participation consistent with the complexity of the program environment; and highly adaptive planning, monitoring, and motivation processes are among the common features of the six successful programs. The design and orchestration of these and other elements were facilitated by the relative autonomy of the programs and by the continuity and commitment of their leadership. There is no dearth of studies of failure in the field of development, points out Dr. Paul, but studying failure does not necessarily lead to insights into the positive management actions and institutional innovations that have led to successful programs. This study, the first of its kind to focus on high performers, is unique in the lessons it offers on the strategic management of development programs.

Yu-ming Shaw, "Mainland China: Politics, Economics, and Reform" English | ISBN: 0367006243 | 2019 | 674 pages | EPUB | 3 MB Over the past several years, Mainland China has undertaken reforms in various domestic areas, including culture and society, education, the economy, and the Communist Party. In addition, since September 1982 Peking has begun to pursue an independent course in foreign relations. In this volume, based on the Thirteenth Sino-American Conference in Taipei, contributors provide a penetrating analysis of the problems Peking faces in trying to implement reforms and of possible future developments in its domestic and foreign policies. In Part 1 they examine ideological theory and practice, party reform, the Hong Kong question, political corruption, population controls, and cultural and educational problems. Part 2 includes discussion of the Mainland Chinese economic system as a whole, the issue of special economic zones, and agricultural reforms. The final part focuses on China's foreign policy, looking specifically at Peking's relations with India and Western Europe and at the Washington-Peking-Moscow triangle.

 Lucian and His Roman Voices : Cultural Exchanges and Conflicts in the Late Roman Empire by Eleni Bozia English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138796751 | 235 Pages | True PDF | 2.9 MB  Rita Dulci Rahman, Jose Miquel Andreu, "Love and Death in saving Europe" English | 2012 | ISBN: 9491480014 | EPUB | pages: 232 | 0.3 mb "A refreshing book, this contemporary liberation of Europe with a smile and a tear ..." is invariably the reaction from early readers of the new novel by Rita Dulci Rahman and Jose Miguel Andreu. Not surprising, because the combination of the Dutch and the Spanish background of the two writers and their global work experience has inspired their romantic looking ahead to Europe in 2020. Main char¬acters in the novel are European leaders and their loved ones and the original solution of the Euro crisis takes shape in the story under heartbreaks, betrayals and highjackings but all ends reasonably well. Hopefully the developments in the novel will inspire politicians to try new paths, but more important is that it will have readers sighing of relief "phew" ... Europe and the Euro will be allright!
