The Phony Reformer - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The Phony Reformer - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

This engaging translation presents an authentic period document that reflects aspects of Chinese life and society as seen through contemporary eyes. Portraying a "phony" reformer who rode the tide of the Qing court''s post-Boxer reform initiatives to career success and personal wealth, this satire conveys the author''s hope for a new, improved China, one that could stand proudly alongside Western nations and Meiji Japan in the modern world. His vivid descriptions of various situations shed light on late Qing elite behavior and Chinese foreign relations capture the clash between tradition and modernity, the old and new, as educated Chinese stood at a cultural and political crossroads.

Forgotten Reformer - Frank Morn - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Forgotten Reformer - Frank Morn - Bog - University Press of America - Plusbog.dk

Forgotten Reformer traces criminal justice practice and reform developments in late nineteenth-century America through the life and career of Robert McClaughry, a leading reformer. As a warden of one of America''s toughest prisons, as a chief of police of Chicago, as a superintendent of two different reformatories, and as one of the first wardens of the federal prison system, McClaughry developed and led a reform movement that resonates today. As a founding member of the reformatory movement that sought to "save" young first offenders, McClaughry advocated new sentencing structures, probation, parole, and rehabilitative regimes within new institutions for young first offenders called reformatories. McClaughry then successfully got these reformatory ideals placed into adult prisons. In addition, McClaughry became American''s main advocate for a criminal identification method called the Bertillon system. He set up the first identification bureaus at the Illinois State Penitentiary, the Chicago police department, and the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas and these became models for others across the country. Finally, as a founding member of the National Association of Chiefs of Police (today the International Association of Chiefs of Police) and the National Prison Assocation (today American Corrections Association), McClaughry sought to professionalize police and prison administrators.

The Prophet and the Reformer - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Prophet and the Reformer - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Brigham Young and Thomas L. Kane first met on the plains of western Iowa in 1846 The Mormon prophet and the Philadelphia reformer would go on to exchange more than one hundred letters over the next three decades. This annotated collection of their correspondence reveals a great deal about these two remarkable men, while also providing crucial insight into nineteenth-century Mormonism and the historical moment in which the movement developed. Until his death in 1877, Young guided the religious, economic, and political life of the Mormon community, whose settlements spread throughout the West and provoked a profound political, legal, and even military confrontation with the American nation. Young relied on Kane, 21 years his junior, as his most trusted outside adviser, making Kane the most important non-Mormon in the history of the Church. In return, no one influenced the direction of Kane''s life more than Young. The surviving letters offer crucial insights into Young''s personal life and views as well as his actions as a political and religious leader. The correspondence reveals the strategies of the Latter-day Saints in relating to American culture and government during these crucial years when the "Mormon Question" was a major political, cultural, and legal issue. The letters also shed important light on the largely forgotten "Utah War" of 1857-58, triggered when President James Buchanan dispatched a military expedition to ensure federal supremacy in Utah and replace Young with a non-Mormon governor. The Prophet and the Reformer offers a complete reproduction of the exchange between Young and Kane, and provides an introduction to each letter that contextualizes and analyzes it.

The Great Reformer - Austen Ivereigh - Bog - Allen & Unwin - Plusbog.dk

The Great Reformer - Austen Ivereigh - Bog - Allen & Unwin - Plusbog.dk

Since his surprise appointment in March 2013, Pope Francis has emerged as the most talked-about and most revolutionary pope in living memory. He has become a subject of fascination, conversation, and headlines not only to the 1.2 billion Catholics in the world, but to virtually everyone. This biography of Pope Francis describes how this revolutionary thinker became who he is, and how he will use the power of his position to challenge and redirect one of the world''s most formidable religions.Drawing on extensive interviews in Argentina and other countries and now featuring an updated epilogue, The Great Reformer traces the roots of his papacy in Francis''s childhood in Buenos Aires, in his Jesuit training, and in the dramatic events during the Perón era and the military government in Argentina in the 1970s. It shows how these experiences have shaped his beliefs, and with his commitment to the discernment of God''s will, enabled him to challenge and redirect the Church.Pope Francis was elected in the midst of one of the biggest crises in the Church in modern times. This is the story of a true radical who is transforming the Church by restoring what it has lost.

Churchill, the Liberal Reformer - Duncan Marlor - Bog - Pen & Sword Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Churchill, the Liberal Reformer - Duncan Marlor - Bog - Pen & Sword Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Winston Churchill is handed down the generations, reinvented in the process to suit current controversies. He has been many things: presently a talisman of the political right, a war-hero of conservative outlook who saved his country; on the left, he is a reactionary imperialist, a warmongering oppressor of the workers. Both sides would be surprised by a time trip to the sensation-filled years of 1910 and 1911\. They would find a modernist progressive, cordially loathed by the Tories, carrying through programmes of social reform and making the prison system more humane: declaring to Parliament that even convicted offenders have rights and that how a state treats them determines the level of its civilisation. A long-serving Permanent Under-Secretary at the Home Office reckoned that Churchill’s policies (which his successors continued) halved the prison population. During the last third of the twentieth century and into the next, rehabilitation has gone into reverse. Prison numbers have soared, as the punitive approach has reasserted itself, now laced with political populism. This book looks at that story in the context of the paradoxical career of Churchill the Liberal Reformer.

Reformanalyse - Carsten Greve - Bog - DJØF - Plusbog.dk

Reformanalyse - Carsten Greve - Bog - DJØF - Plusbog.dk

Denne bog handler om reformer i den offentlige sektor og hvordan man analyserer reformer. Den offentlige sektor er blevet reformeret markant gennem de seneste år: Politireform, domstolsreform, strukturreform og kvalitetsreform. Bogen beskæftiger sig med 11 reformer i den danske offentlige sektor og har en grundig case-analyse af kvalitetsreformen. Den offentlige sektor i dag er en grundlæggende helt anden offentlig sektor end for ti år siden.Bogens budskab er, at reformer er blevet en central måde at drive politik på i dagens Danmark. En reformproces er ikke en teknisk, administrativ øvelse, men en politisk proces, der vedrører politikere, offentlige ledere, interesseorganisationer og borgere. Bogen inddeler også reformer i forskellige kategorier, som f.eks. ”kampagnereformer”.Bogen nøjes ikke med at beskrive og analysere reformer, men har også et kapitel til sidst, der kommer med råd til, hvordan reformatorer kan forberede nye reformer i fremtiden. Carsten Greve er Ph. D. og professor i offentlig ledelse og styring på Department of Business and Politics, Copenhagen Business School. Han har siden 2009 været studieleder for Master of Public Governance-uddannelsen – den fleksible master i offentlig ledelse, som hvert år efteruddanner offentlige ledere i stat, regioner og kommuner.
