Abstract:

Sous le souvenir invétéré d'une démocratie passée, purement directe, dans laquelle le peuple décidait lui-même de toutes les questions relatives à la sphère publique, la participation populaire continue d'être une source de débats et d'études animés. Ce travail aborde cette participation populaire d'un point de vue purement juridique, en l'examinant selon les étapes d'une procédure visant à l'élaboration d'une norme. Ce faisant, il apporte une réponse à un problème jusqu'ici non résolu : déterminer si le peuple et le Parlement peuvent coexister en tant que législateurs au sein d'un même ordre

Abstract:

Since the second half of 20th century the world has witnessed unprecedented waves of public sector reforms that are global in nature and scope (Miller 2005); this is commonly referred to as New Public Management (NPM) (Hood 1991; Tolofari 2005; Atreya 2002). The advent, adoption and spread of public sector reforms in both developed and developing nations was mainly driven by the quest for overcoming the problems of the traditional bureaucratic model of public administration, which is often perceived as too big, expensive and inefficient in delivering public services (UNECA 2003; Tolofari 2005;

With this regard, the work focuses on the European citizens’ initiative, which was firstly introduced in 2009 with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty as one of the main novelties in reforming the role of the institutions and the decision-making process, namely considered as the first supranational instrument of participatory de

Abstract:

The European Union has long been argued to suffer from a deficit of democratic legitimacy. One recent innovation introduced with the intention of addressing this deficit is the European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI), a means by which 1 million EU citizens can ask the European Commission to propose new legislation. In 2015, three years following its introduction, opinions on the performance of the ECI amongst EU politicians, journalists and campaigners are tinged with disappointment and disaffection. This thesis asks to what extent the sceptics are warranted in their frustrations towards the ECI o

However, in a case study in Brunei Darussalam, it was found that the government s initiative in providing e-services in last few years has not been as successful as it could have been as the services have not been citizen-centric. This was due to the availability of e-services being unknown amongst the citizens and that a silo-based approach existed for each government ministry. One notable finding was that although

“All citizens of the world can save a life”. With these words, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) is launching the first global initiative – World Restart a Heart (WRAH) – to increase public awareness and therefore the rates of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for victims of cardiac arrest. In most of the cases, it takes too long for the emergency services to arrive on scene after the victim's collapse. Thus, the most effective way to increase survival and favourable outcome in cardiac arrest by two- to fourfold is early CPR by lay bystanders and by “firs

Abstract:

The citizen legislator is both a controversial and recurring phenomenon of interest in political science research. A longstanding concern for the discipline has been whether or not involvement of the public in the lawmaking process is an asset or a liability to quality governance. This study explores the desirability of citizen legislating in the American states. A four dimensional index is created that includes empirical indicators of "substantive" and "procedural" governance. These indicators include voter turnout, fiscal health, the ideological distance between government and the citizenry,

The second explanatory approach emphasizes the logic of collective action problems. The third approach incorporates the larger constellation of policymaking institutions in which

Abstract:

The topic of this dissertation is the democratic deficit of the European Union and the normative and empirical assessment of the likelihood that the existing forms of institutionalized transnational civic engagement would act as the point of anchoring democratic practices at the EU level. If the democratic deficit reflects the apparent lack of legitimacy and accountability of EU institutions and a lack of influence of its citizens, the question the project attempts to answer is why the existing democratic innovations within the EU constitutional framework fail to attract political allegiance a

Consequently, having a sound discussion on the old people’s immediate demands and trying to provide suggestions to the improvement of the policy can attain the “appropriate” plan on the government’s “care” with the elderly’s “demand”.The elderly have received inc

Smart Cities are a recently developed concept which helps cities hoarded by rapid urbanization and ever-increasing population to innovate themselves and be sustainable. By the implementation of disruptive technologies and carbon literacy, their efficiency can be increased and set environmental sustainability as the principal marker for better livability within the city. That is why the newly formed definition of Smart Sustainable City represents a concept that should be utilized by all the stakeholders involved while aiming to positively evolve the Smart City context.

Abstract:

Ideally, community engagement initiatives connect the community with their government so that citizens can have a say in the things that really matter to them. Mounting internal or external pressure for more citizen participation moves the focus from 'local government' to 'local governance',. And presents professional practices with the challenge of determining the ends for participation, and responding with the appropriate means - given the local economic, social, political and technological conte
