Governance, Strategy and Policy
Seven Critical Essays
|
|
|
|
|
- Are the economically privileged to run the world?
- Has public consciousness been overtaken by consumerism?
- Is democracy superseded by oligarchic government?
Seven critical essays investigate the leadership and governance challenges that face society. Questions of information freedom and alternative models of societal governance are scrutinised, as is the ever-greater intimacy between the corporation and government. The authors examine citizen participation and explore who pays and should pay for essential public services. In conclusion, oligarchy is predicted as the future form of government and in order to resist such development attention is given to the role and contribution of ministers of state in the pursuit of the public good.
The non-transparent determination of government policy by elites, the defence of freedoms and rights, and what we as citizens have to fight for and why, act as the essence of this book.
