Comparative Analysis Of Municipal Public Services In Romania And The United States: The Case Of Water And Wastewater Services, Andrew Ewoh, Lucica Matei

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

Some of the most important basic services provided by any level of government are the primary responsibility of municipalities, and urban managers devote more time and attention in making sure that these services are delivered. The availability of public services in any local jurisdiction usually depends on location, history, laws and regulations. Some local governments use alternative service delivery such as public-private partnerships, intergovernmental agreements, and contracting out or privatization.

Six cities were selected from both countries …

The Role Of Environmental Ngos In Chinese Public Policy, Andrew Ewoh, Melissa Rollins Apr 2011

The Role Of Environmental Ngos In Chinese Public Policy, Andrew Ewoh, Melissa Rollins

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

The emergence of environmental nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in China is increasingly drawing attention from observers interested in Chinese environmental politics. In the 1980s, the Chinese government started introducing environmental laws as well as seeking assistance from international NGOs, and bilateral and multilateral aid organizations. The 1990s witnessed a shift in government's focus on command and control regulation to more progressive citizen participation and market incentive laws. In fact, many ambitious environmental and energy efficiency targets were included in both the 10th and the 11th five-year plans. This analysis examines the role played by the environmental NGOs in Chinese public policy …

The Role Of Public-Nonprofit Partnerships In The Delivery Of Public Goods And Services, Andrew Ewoh Apr 2011

The Role Of Public-Nonprofit Partnerships In The Delivery Of Public Goods And Services, Andrew Ewoh

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

While collaboration between public and nonprofit sector has a long history in the United States, such partnerships around the world have proliferated with the emergence of new public management that dates back to the early 1990s about a few years after the Romanian citizens gained the right to form nongovernmental organizations.

Pay-For-Performance Reform And Organizational Discrimination: An Exploratory Analysis Of The United States Federal Agencies, Andrew Ewoh, Stephen Stonnenfeldt-Goddard

Andrew I.E. Ewoh

The federal General Schedule system, established under the Classification Act of 1949, has received increasing criticism within the past decade. Scholars and practitioners alike have decried it as being outdated, inefficient, and restrictive in allowing government to acquire the critical talent it needs to administer. With these challenges in mind, alternatives for replacing the General Schedule system have been offered. One of the most popular, prominent, and promising paths toward reform is the pay-for-performance approach. Using EEOC data published as a requirement of the Notification and Federal Employee Antidiscrimination and Retaliation (NO FEAR) Act of 2002, this article explores the …
