Since its creation the UN has been beset by the big power rivalries of the Cold War which, too often, made it ineffective. Despite this, it has two major achievements to its credit. The first is to have made itself the spokesman and champion of the Third World or South – the world’s dispossessed and marginalised. The second, always to undertake tasks in international peacekeeping so that it has gradually come to be seen as indispensable if we are to attain any form of world government.

The Failure of the Heath Government


Free Download The Failure of the Heath Government By Martin Holmes
1997 | 184 Pages | ISBN: 033371606X | PDF | 11 MB
‘important and strongly recommended, neatly packaged and eminently readable, and written with a clarity and authority that one can but envy.’ – Cyril Townsend, The House Magazine ‘refreshing for a political writer to treat economic policy seriously rather than as a form of black magic which affects the parties’ standing in the polls.’ – Samuel Brittan, Financial Times ‘interesting, detailed and often stimulating contribution to the acromonious debate about the nature of true Conservatism.’ – Andrew Gamble, Political Studies After its fall in 1974 the Heath government was widely accepted to have been a failure both by Conservative free market critics and by those on the left. By the late 1990s, however, several revisionist studies portrayed the Heath government more favourably exonerating Heath from culpability for the economic and industrial meltdown of 1972-4. This book seeks to refute this picture of a tragic yet heroic administration by showing the full extent of the economic, political and electoral misjudgements of the Heath government which left to the Conservative party, and to the British people, only the lessons of failure.

Formalization of the Informal Economy An e-Government Approach


Free Download Colin C. Williams, "Formalization of the Informal Economy: An e-Government Approach "
English | ISBN: 3031379306 | 2023 | 132 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This Brief provides a cutting-edge evaluation of the application of digital technologies to tackle the informal economy. Employing institutional theory to explain the informal economy, this book reveals that the informal economy arises when formal institutional failings trigger a gap between the formal rules of the game and social norms. Chapters outline how use of digital technologies by public authorities, such as tax, social security and labor authorities, can alter social norms so that they accord with the formal rules of the game and generate a formalization of the informal economy. Setting out the e-government tools that can improve the relationship between businesses, employers, workers and citizens, and government, this book will be essential reading for academics and advanced students studying development economics, labor economics, public economics, behavioral economics, economic sociology and institutional economics as well as for government policymakers working in related fields.
