The Cambridge Companion to Comparative Constitutional Law
Author: Roger MastermanPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316733440
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 653
Book Description
What is the purpose of comparative constitutional law? Comparing constitutions allows us to consider the similarities and differences in forms of government, and the normative philosophies behind constitutional choices. Constitutional comparisons offer 'hermeneutic' help: they enable us to see 'our' own constitution with different eyes and to locate its structural and normative choices by references to alternatives evident in other constitutional orders. This Cambridge Companion presents readers with a succinct yet wide-ranging companion to a modern comparative constitutional law course, offering a wide-ranging yet concise introduction to the subject. Its twenty-two chapters are arranged into five thematic parts: starting with an exploration of the 'theoretical foundations' (Part I) and some important 'historical experiences' (Part II), it moves on to a discussion of the core 'constitutional principles' (Part III) and 'state institutions' (Part IV); finally it analyses forms of 'transnational' constitutionalism (Part V) that have emerged in our 'global' times.
Republic of Poland
Author: International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1484305450
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 63
Book Description
This Technical Assistance Report discusses the progress made toward developing a medium-term budget framework (MTBF) in Poland. Many of the prerequisites for establishing an MTBF have already been satisfied in Poland. The annual budget has a high degree of credibility; macroeconomic projections are generally accurate; and fiscal rules on debt, expenditure, and the deficit provide sufficient guidance to fiscal policy in the medium term. However, some weaknesses remain that should be addressed either in parallel or as part of the MTBF reform. The design of the MTBF should be carefully considered to meet the government’s fiscal objectives while operating within current capabilities.
Botswana
Author: International Monetary Fund. Fiscal Affairs Dept.Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1498302165
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 69
Book Description
This Technical Assistance Report focuses on Botswana’s Medium-term Expenditure Framework (MTEF). The Government of Botswana has committed to introduce the MTEF by 2016. The MTEF will provide a more explicit linkage between National Development Plan priorities and budget allocations by adopting a medium-term budgeting horizon. An MTEF model based on a binding nominal expenditure ceiling covering 100 percent of government expenditure is appropriate. To support the commitment to the resource allocations approved under the MTEF, a number of prioritization, control, and accountability arrangements need to be put in place.
Soft Law and Public Authorities
Author: Greg WeeksPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 178225689X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
This book considers the phenomenon of soft law employed by domestic public authorities. Lawyers have long understood that public authorities are able to issue certain communications in a way that causes them to be treated like law, even though these are neither legislation nor subordinate legislation. Importantly for soft law as a regulatory tool, people tend to treat soft law as binding even though public authorities know that it is not. It follows that soft law's 'binding' effects do not apply equally between the public authority and those to whom it is directed. Consequently, soft law is both highly effective as a means of regulation, and inherently risky for those who are regulated by it. Rather than considering soft law as a form of regulation, this book examines the possible remedies when a public authority breaches its own soft law upon which people have relied, thereby suffering loss. It considers judicial review remedies, modes of compensation which are not based upon a finding of invalidity, namely tort and equity, and 'soft' challenges outside the scope of the courts, such as through the Ombudsman or by seeking an ex gratia payment.

Transparency in Government Operations
Author: Mr.J. D. CraigPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 155775697X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Transparency in government operations is widely regarded as an important precondition for macroeconomic fiscal sustainability, good governance, and overall fiscal rectitude. Notably, the Interim Committee, at its April and September 1996 meetings, stressed the need for greater fiscal transparency. Prompted by these concerns, this paper represents a first attempt to address many of the aspects of transparency in government operations. It provides an overview of major issues in fiscal transparency and examines the IMF's role in promoting transparency in government operations.
