Abstract:
Relevance of the study of theoretical developments on the formation of political and governing elite, including its functions, due to the need of compliance of the role of politi-cal and governing elite and social needs.The article is devoted to the priority functions of political and governing elite at pre-sent state.In this work studied scientific approaches to defining the role of the elite. It was es-tablished that the main and most essential function of political and governing elite, which actually led to the selection of this category, is political control. It is shown that political and governing elite level for personalized serves as the political system, namely strate-gic, integrative and regulatory. The main functions of political and governing elite also includes: mobilization, communication, function representation in the political system of society social interests.Determined that in terms of military aggression from Russia, the loss of economics and the state, when Ukraine needs a final exercise their geopolitical choice by the practi-cal implementation of the course towards european integration through reforms in all spheres of public life, political and governing elite should focus on specific primary func-tions. Analysis of public inquiries allowed to formulate these functions, referring to re-cent peacekeeping, communicative, integrative and regulatory.

Abstract:
Insufficient output and rising pressure after governing stage of a 630 MW supercritical unit occurred only 18 month after the first outage. Though analysis based on measured parameters, fouling existed in governing stage and the first stage group. By virtue of linearization of formula and decoupling the impacts to thermal characteristic parameters, the quantified deposition degree was obtained. The fouling reason was determined by scale sample analysis, and the solution was proposed by quantitative calculation. The problem was successfully solved with boiler pickling, turbine cascade jet-beading and pulsing minimum oxygen to inhibit flow accelerated corrosion. A steam quality detection method was also proposed as the installation of measurement point after governing stage of supercritical unit. These treatments provided building and operation experience for 1000MW ultra-supercritical turbine and the same type of equipments.

Abstract:
Local governments in pursuit of their objectives have become increasingly dependent on the private and third sector actors. New Public Governance (NPG) is an approach to understand the production and delivery of public services in a fragmented and pluralist society. The development of health care and social services and the creation of service innovations have been a part of the ongoing change. Local governments have started to search for new approaches to service delivery in co-operation with private firms and third sector organizations. This study focuses on the role of local government as a meta-governor in creating and developing a service innovation called the Kotitori model in Tampere, Finland. Meta-governance is needed to govern complexity and plurality in a network society. Local authorities can exercise power by using meta-governance tools while sharing the responsibility for public governance with other actors. The results of this study suggest that tools provided by NPG theory can be identified in the process of developing a service innovation. Thus, it may be that local governments should use both hands-on and hand-off meta-governance tools in order to exercise successful meta-governance. The results also suggest that adequacy of the different meta-governance tools differs according to the stage of the innovation process. In this sense this study provides also new insight to the theory of NPG.

Abstract Abstract 4590 Megakaryocytes generate platelets by remodeling their cytoplasm into long proplatelet extensions from which platelets release. While the mechanics of proplatelet elongation have been studied, the terminal steps of platelet production remain poorly understood. To understand the mechanics of platelet release, we developed a novel gradient sedimentation protocol to isolate released proplatelets. This has enabled us to define and quantify different stages in platelet maturation and identify a new intermediate stage in platelet production—the preplatelet. Preplatelets are anucleate discoid particles considerably larger (2-10μm) than platelets that have the capacity to reversibly convert into barbell-shaped proplatelets. Video-microscopy of GFP-tubulin expressing cells reveals that preplatelets elongate and twist into barbell forms by a process mediated by microtubule-based forces. α-Granules and dense granules present in the preplatelet translocate between platelet-sized swellings during barbell proplatelet formation, and ultimately concentrate at the terminal loops. Fission releases two mature platelets from the barbell ends, and isolated proplatelets will mature into bona fide platelets in culture over a 5-day period. Correspondingly, mature platelets are generated within 2 hours post-transfusion of fluorescently-tagged proplatelets into recipient mice. Released proplatelets were plated on extracellular matrix proteins (fibrinogen, laminin, fibronectin, collagen, matrigel) or a BSA control, and cultured for 24 hours to recapitulate the bone marrow vascular niche and determine whether these cell-substrate interactions mediate platelet release. Fibrinogen and laminin binding increased platelet release roughly 4-fold, suggesting cell-substrate interactions in the bone marrow vascular niche and surrounding vasculature are critical for the final stages or platelet production. These findings confirm that proplatelets mature into multiple individual platelets both in vivo/vitro, and begin to define the mechanistic events leading to platelet production.

Abstract:
This article introduces a suggested comprehensive framework for identifying, assessing and governing trade-offs and enhancing coherence in public policy decision-making. The framework is based on a simple three-stage model of policy-making: understanding policy interactions (input), integrating policy-making (process), and assessing <em>ex ante</em> policy decisions (output). The first stage is tackled with an interactions assessment framework, identifying how different sectors or ministries relate to each other in terms of their respective objectives, and on what topics negotiations are required to manage trade-offs. The second stage draws on approaches and experiences in environmental policy integration. It focuses on institutional procedures, structures and rules that enable integrated policy-making processes. The third stage draws on the longer-standing policy-analytical field of impact assessment applied to sustainable development. The article discusses the conceptual and theoretical foundations of each stage, as well as practical policy experiences. Discussing this in the context of 2030 Agenda implementation, the article suggests how trade-offs and policy coherence can be better governed using adapted policy-analytic methods and approaches.

Abstract:
Cracking of blade dovetails occurred in a governing stage of a 50MW steam turbines twice within 5 months. To find out the failure mechanism and measures to avoid the failure accident, one of the cracked blades has been inspected by the metallography and a scanning electronic microscope. The inspection results show that the cracking of the blade is caused by the high cycle fatigue. When governing stage blades are in operation, the vibration of blades can extend to platform or even to dovetail parts over radial supporting surfaces depending on temperature, centrifugal force and assembly tolerance. The calculated results by FEM show that not only natural frequencies of blades in operating are smaller than that in stationary but also the modal order shifts when the blade runs from stationary to operation states. The effect of mode shift on the failure was investigated. According to the conclusion, the blades have been retrofitted by increasing neck of dovetail to avoid dangerous resonance, and the blades have been operating in healthy condition for two years after the modification. Contrarily, if the phenomenon of mode shift were ignored, it would be difficult to find out the right reason of resonance and ways to retrofit the damaged blades.

Abstract:
A supersonic gas ejector in conjunction with a liquid ring vacuum pump is used for creating and maintaining a vacuum in a chamber for technological purposes. In this paper, the authors submit an overview of the problematics of suction pressure reduction with a supersonic gas ejector used as a pre-stage of a liquid ring vacuum pump. This system has also the function of a cavitation protection due to the higher pressure present at the suction throat of the vacuum pump. A part of this paper is devoted to the governing equations used at the definition of the flow through an ejector. The CFD analysis of the problem was implemented with the package Fluent in 2 dimensions using the axisymmetric approach. The parts of the physical model were printed on a STRATASYS 3D printer, or were cast from technical resin. The experimental studies are then carried out in our own laboratory for validation purposes.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the Skills Strategy for England under New Labour as a contested project to govern workplace high(er) skill aspiration and behaviour. It analyses differentiated state strategies to promote and (re)produce responsible skills ambitions; the engagement of employer and employee representatives with these strategies to stretch and reshape, and resist and restate the project; and the implications for skills provision. The research involved interpretive analysis of policy documents, and in-depth interviews with policy-making elites; strategic representatives of business and worker/learner interests; and skills providers. To support my empirical focus this thesis is located within theories of the changing form and function of the state. Adopting a ‘cultural political economy’ approach, and drawing on critical governance studies, to illuminate the interplay between meaning production and practice, I challenge the conclusion that mechanisms for skills creation in England are premised on a misunderstanding of the skills motivations of employers and employees. Instead I expose state work through policy to produce and export a skills logic; constituting and positioning governable subjects in relation to their internalisation of these logics; and the role of differentiated policies to manoeuvre subjects towards preferential skills behaviours. The findings highlight that what is presented as a coherent ‘partnership’ approach to producing enhanced skills can be better understood as three distinctive state strategies, (demand-led; leading demand; circumventing lack of demand) , which are aimed at differently imagined and constructed workplaces, (enlightened; inert; or deviant), depending on their demonstrable degree of responsible skills ambition. I therefore term this project ‘state-steered voluntarism’. However, I also expose the limitations and limits of this project. Attempts to present policy coherence lacquers over latent tensions and contradictions between the different skills strategies, creating policy ‘opacities’ which serve as spaces for the strategic voices of employer/employee representation to talk back; disorganising the practices and processes of skills delivery.

Abstract:
This diploma thesis deals with the thermodynamic design of a backpressure steam turbine. The mass flow of steam through the turbine is determined based on the required heat output, which is transferred in a heat exchanger at the turbine outlet. The governing stage of the turbine is in form of an impulse stage, with optimization of degree of reaction included. During the optimization, a suitable rotor blade was chosen as well as its size. The governing stage is followed by fifteen stages of reaction blading with the stage loading coefficient in the range of 2,75 to 2,80. The governing stage and the reaction blading both meet the mechanical strength requirements. Balancing piston, sealing system and bearings are also designed. Finally, a turbine characteristic is created as well as a longitudinal section. The designed turbine has a speed of 10 000 rpm. While supplying the required heat output, it has a terminal power output of 5 863,4 kW and a thermodynamic efficiency of 84,69 %.

Abstract:
Biculturalism is a relationship in government between the British Crown and the indigenous [Māori] people of New Zealand. I show that this relationship permeated some Māori healing practitioners’ healing knowledge and perception. A key way in which this occurred was through the practitioners recognizing biological and social boundaries between Māori and Pākehā [New Zealanders of European descent]. A second was through the practitioners’ embodiment of connections with social groups including the nation, a history and present shared between Māori and Pākehā and an idealized pre-contact past. A fundamental principle of Te Oo Mai Reia was that for the practitioners to harness the power of the various forces that sustained life they had to be in touch with their whakapapa [genealogy] for it was through their ancestors that they could commune with the Ultimate Deity, Io, the source of the most potent of all forces of life. A further key principle was that spiritually inspired and traditional Māori culture heightened the wellbeing of Māori, not modern, Pākehā culture. Spiritual and ancient knowledge was supra-conscious and made knowable through an embodied awareness of self and other. To make my argument I draw on literature inspired by Foucault that shows how states govern by implementing their operations and securing their penetration into the citizenry by drawing and building upon pre-existing bodies of knowledge and relations of power. I also draw on literature that shows how the human body bears the effects of such practices of government. To this literature I integrate perception by showing how, in this Māori healing context, the government of the bicultural nation-state worked through the ways the practitioners made sense with the body (especially through feeling, seeing and touching).

Bimpson, Emma Elizabeth. "Governing homelessness : a case study of local welfare state transformation." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2018. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/22246/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines transformations in housing and homelessness provision by exploring processes of welfare restructuring that are broadly attributed to neoliberalism. Specifically, the interplay between programmes of localism, austerity and marketisation is examined to understand how homelessness and housing need is governed as a welfare issue in England. Post-2010 Coalition and Conservative-led welfare reforms have targeted both social and private renters by restricting eligibility for housing and wider welfare benefits. In addition, the withdrawal of state subsidy for social and supported housing, a decoupling of housing from wider social support services, and an increasing turn towards the private rented sector as a means to fulfil local housing duties has further reduced the security and affordability of housing. A city-based case study situated in Leeds explores the collective and independent contribution of public, private and Third Sector actors who commission and deliver housing and related support services. The case study accounts for a specific housing market and socio-spatial context, as well as reflecting systems of homelessness prevention and relief available for adults in other cities across England. This thesis makes an original contribution by highlighting the nuance, contingency and conflict that exists within local welfare restructuring. Interviews demonstrate how access to social and private housing has been reframed in line with economic rationalities, as state-led processes of austerity and financialisation take effect. Findings reveal the production of marginalisation and precarity as the subjects of welfare are excluded from housing on the basis of economic risk, and highlight particular governmental ideals of citizenship and resilience. However, the case study also shows how austerity is negotiated as well as becoming affective through the agency of individuals, as landlords and support providers interpret social responsibility in varied ways. Crucially, this research also highlights the importance of broader shifts in social care which go beyond ideological and economic reform, and which concern philosophical debates about the governance of vulnerability.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an anthropological study of legal governance and its impact on kinship relations amongst a migratory pastoralist community in north India. The research is based on fieldwork and archival sources and is concerned with understanding the contest between 'customary' and legal norms in the constitution of public moralities amongst the Gaddis of Himachal Pradesh. The research examines on changing conjugal practices amongst the Gaddis in the context of wider changes in their political economy and in relation to the colonial codification of customary law in colonial Punjab and the Hindu Marriage Succession Acts of 1955-56. The thesis investigates changes in the patterns of inheritance in the context of increased sedentarisation, combined with state legislation and intervention. It examines the move from polygamous to monogamous marriage, and changes in everyday sexual moralities and notions of legitimacy. Analysing marriage and succession related litigation undertaken by Gaddis over the last hundred years, the thesis maps the discursive constitution of the 'customary' and its negotiation in the juridical sphere. The ethnography of local level bureaucracy and its regime of certification demonstrates that dominant legal ideals of conjugal and property relations are effected not merely by legislation, but also through certain state enumerative and documentary practices, such as registration and certification. The research explores how knowledge of 'native' rules and behaviour necessitated the use of anthropological expertise, the culmination of which was the recording of every single tribe's 'customary law' in the region. It investigates the conditions under which the colonial state solicited anthropological expertise, and how the discipline extended its expertise into the realm of state. The colonial state's entanglement in knowledge and human interests is compared with the contemporary state's reformist legal discourse of rights and equality to chart the trajectory of the changing object of governance from subject to citizen.

Abstract:
In this dissertation, I focus on the social response of criminalization and incarceration to the problem of heroin use among women in Massachusetts in the ongoing era of the United States' "War on Drugs." Based on fieldwork conducted between 2010-2014, I argue that the convergence of therapeutic ideals with the prison system creates a means of governing and regulating these women's lives via what I call the "carceral therapeutic state." I examine various facets of treatment programs in the state women's prison, MCI-Framingham, and a local Boston jail, Suffolk County House of Corrections, including drug treatment, trauma treatment and work readiness programs. I consider how and why these programs in prisons and jails have become means to centralize and solidify the criminal justice system as the predominant site of addiction and mental health treatment for poor women on drugs.

Abstract:
AbstractLow-temperature stress (LTS) is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop growth and ultimately decrease grain yield. The development of rice varieties with low-temperature stress tolerance has been a severe challenge for rice breeders for a long time. The lack of consistency of the quantitative trait loci (QTLs) governing LTS tolerance for any given growth stage over different genetic backgrounds of mapping populations under different low-temperature stress conditions remains a crucial barrier for adopting marker-assisted selection (MAS). In this review, we discuss the ideal location and phenotyping for agromorphological and physiological parameters as indicators for LTS tolerance and also the traits associated with QTLs that were identified from biparental mapping populations and diverse rice accessions. We highlight the progress made in the fields of genome editing, genetic transformation, transcriptomics, and metabolomics to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of cold tolerance in rice. The stage-specific QTLs and candidate genes for LTS tolerance brought out valuable information toward identifying and improving LTS tolerance in rice varieties. We showed 578 QTLs and 38 functionally characterized genes involved in LTS tolerance. Among these, 29 QTLs were found to be colocalized at different growth stages of rice. The combination of stage-specific QTLs and genes from biparental mapping populations and genome-wide association studies provide potential information for developing LTS-tolerant rice varieties. The identified colocalized stage-specific LTS-tolerance QTLs will be useful for MAS and QTL pyramiding and for accelerating mapping and cloning of the possible candidate genes, revealing the underlying LTS-tolerance mechanisms in rice.

Abstract:
With the implementation of low-carbon economy policy, clean energy (such as wind and solar energy) has been developing rapidly, and the percentage is increasing year by year; On the other hand, with a steadily growing percentage of residential electricity consumption and commercial electricity consumption, resulting in large electricity load difference between peak and valley, the load related requirements of modern steam power plants are noticeably changing. Whereas the past units being designed in base load now have to take part in peak load, and usually in a low load operation, unable to play its advantages of high efficiency in design load. In the article the current three main governing methods (i.e. nozzle governing, throttling governing and bypass governing) for steam turbine will be discussed and evaluated under economical criteria focused on the above described challenges for future power generating technologies. A new governing method is Nozzle governing with Overload Valve Regulation, which keeps the advantage that main steam pressure of the Nozzle governing steam turbine is higher under partial load conditions, and weakens the influence of the low efficiency of governing stage on high pressure turbine, effectively improves the efficiency of steam turbine unit under partial load conditions. In the turbine adopted the new governing method of Nozzle governing with Overload Valve Regulation, the first stage is governing stage, divided into several groups. Main steam from boiler goes through the main stop valve and main steam control valve in sequence, and then turns to the governing stage. When the load is below 85%THA, main steam control valve I, II and III are fully opened, main steam control valve IV is fully closed, and the unit is in sliding pressure operation. When the load is 85%THA, the main steam pressure can reach the rated pressure. With the load increasing, main steam control valve IV starts to open, but the main steam pressure maintains the rated pressure, adjusted to THA when main steam control valve IV is fully opened and the flowrate of governing stage reaches the maximum. In the load more than THA condition, the bypass valve starts to open, the main steam goes through the bypass steam room into the certain stage (as fourth), to meet the requirements of the super load, adjusted to VWO (about 108%THA) when the bypass valve is fully opened. Through the detailed description about the scheme set and calculation analysis about economy benefit of the new regulation technology of Nozzle governing with Overload Valve Regulation, it shows that with the annual load range of 40%THA–85%THA, the economy of turbine adopted the new regulation technology is better than bypass governing by about 21.6 kJ/kW.h.

Abstract:
The solid particle erosion (SPE) of flow passage is a universal problem in modern high-parameter steam turbines. With the continuous improvement of the working parameters of the steam turbine, the problem of SPE is becoming more serious. This problem is caused by the ferric oxide exfoliations carried by steam from the inner wall of the boiler tube into the steam turbine flow passage, causing the stator blades, the rotor blades, and the shroud to be eroded under impingement and scuffing failure. The SPE cannot only destroy the blade profile, increase the roughness of the blade surface, and affect the aerodynamic performance of the blade, but it can also shorten the maintenance cycle, prolong the maintenance downtime, and even increase the cost for steam turbine maintenance thereby reducing the unit efficiency and safety. In order to simulate SPE in the governing stage of a high-parameter steam turbine, this study adopts the Lagrange method and the Finnie erosion model. The motion characteristics of five different kinds of solid particle, including the solid particle trajectory, are thoroughly analyzed. The regulation of the erosion distribution in the radial and axial directions to the stator and rotor blades is studied to present the mechanism of SPE. Simulated results show that before their collision with the blades, the particles of the small diameters flow with the main stream, and their trajectories are close to the steam streamlines. By contrast, the particles of the large diameters are hardly influenced by the external factors, and their trajectories are close to the straight line. The SPE distribution of the stator and rotor blades varies with the particle diameter. The eroded area in the stator blade is mainly located at the leading edge and the pressure surface, particularly the mid-rear part of the pressure surface, whereas no eroded area can be observed in the suction surface. The small particles greatly affect the erosion distribution of the stator blade. The eroded area in the rotor blade is primarily at the mid-rear part of the pressure surface and the suction surface, which is close to the leading edge. The eroded area takes on a typical slop shape, and the erosion position has an obvious upward trend. The proposed research reveals both the motion characteristics of the solid particles and the distribution regulation of the SPE in the steam turbine flow passage. The analysis results provide references for the governing stage of a high-parameter steam turbine to prevent SPE.

Abstract:
At present, the majority of power steam turbines operate under part-load conditions during most of their working time in accordance with the fluctuation of power supply. The load governing method may cause partial admission in control stage and even some pressure stages, which impacts much on the stability of the rotor system. In this paper, CFD and FEM method were used to analyze the effect of partial admission on rotor system stability. A new approach is proposed to simplify the 3D fluid model for a partial admission control stage. Rotordynamic analysis was carried out to test the stability of the HP rotor of a 600 MW steam turbine under different load conditions. 13 different governing modes on the rotor stability were conducted and data were analyzed. It is found that rotor stability varies significantly with different governing modes and mass flow rates, which is consistent with the operation. Asymmetric fluid forces resulted from partial admission cause a fluctuation of the dynamic characteristics of the HP bearings, which consequently affect the stability of the rotor system. One of the nozzle governing modes in which the diagonal valves open firstly is demonstrated as the optimal mode with the maximum system stability. The optimization has been applied to 16 power generation units in China and result in improved rotor stabilities.

Abstract:
<p>A significant portion of the nation’s aging bridge inventory consists of bridges with deep cap beams which were not designed to carry modern traffic loads. A strength assessment of these bridges is required for accurately predicting their load and deformation capacities. This paper proposes a two-stage strength assessment methodology for deep cap beams based on a nonlinear finite element analysis. To validate the finite element modeling approach, five pier caps experimentally investigated in the literature were analyzed. Crack patterns, load-displacement response, failure modes, and governing critical members were investigated under near collapse conditions. The complete proposed methodology was employed on a case study involving five existing bridges located in Ohio and the predicted capacities were compared with the traditional sectional and strut-and-tie methods. The proposed methodology has the potential to reduce the number of bridges found overloaded using traditional methods, resulting in significant cost savings.</p>

Abstract:
Rheological material properties are high-dimensional function-valued quantities, such as frequency-dependent viscoelastic moduli or non-Newtonian shear viscosity. Here we describe a process to model and optimize design targets for such rheological material functions. For linear viscoelastic systems, we demonstrate that one can avoid specific a priori assumptions of spring-dashpot topology by writing governing equations in terms of a time-dependent relaxation modulus function. Our approach embraces rheological design freedom, connecting system-level performance to optimal material functions that transcend specific material classes or structure. This technique is therefore material agnostic, applying to any material class including polymers, colloids, metals, composites, or any rheologically complex material. These early-stage design targets allow for broadly creative ideation of possible material solutions, which can then be used for either material-specific selection or later-stage design of novel materials.

Abstract:
One of the most common and practical difficulties a pipeline engineer faces at the initial stage of the project is the lack of Soil survey data. Hence, various soil parameters like soil type, density, friction angle, cohesive pressure, depth of cover, pipe coating etc. are needed to be assumed. The critical designs like anchor block requirement, pipe route changes, support loads which involve a huge cost are required to be ‘Issued for Construction’ based on assumed data. This paper briefly illustrates and compares the results obtained from the two most common buried pipe stress analysis methods viz. ‘American Lifeline Alliance - Appendix B’ (1) and ‘Stress Analysis Methods for Underground Pipelines’ (2) and shows their effects graphically on the various Stress Analysis results like pipe movement, end force, active length (virtual anchor length) and bending stress generated in the buried pipeline. Further, this paper comes up with an unique application of ANOVA, a Statistical method, to find out the most significant soil parameter affecting the said results. The paper explains this method with a solved example. These results are useful for a pipeline engineer to determine the governing soil parameter in the design and thus provide a useful tool to make optimum assumptions in absence of soil data so as to minimize the changes in future design and helps saving the cost of the project due to rework.

Abstract:
Abstract In this study, forced convection enhancement in a square channel by a two stage electrohydrodynamic (EHD) gas pump is numerically analyzed. This study is implemented for a two stage EHD gas pump with three emitting electrode configurations: 8, 24, and 56 respectively to seek their effectiveness in the enhancement of forced convection and pumping power requirement. The EHD gas pump is evaluated for a wide range of operating voltages starting from 20 kV up to 28 kV. The influence of electric field on the flow and temperature fields is also examined for a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The three-dimensional governing equations for the flow and temperature fields are solved using the finite volume method. The Reynolds numbers (Re) considered in this study varies in a range between 100 and 2000. At Re = 100, a maximum increase of 42% in the average Nusselt number is achieved with an applied voltage of 28 kV. The overall effectiveness of the EHD gas pump in heat transfer enhancement is evaluated by the thermal hydraulic performance parameter, (Nu/Nu0)/(f/f0), which is always greater than unity. These results disclose that EHD technique has a great potential for many engineering applications, particularly for thermal management.

Abstract:
Major multilateral arms control and disarmament treaties dealing with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) often have mandated an international organization to monitor and verify State party compliance and to handle cases of non-compliance. There are marked differences in the mandates and technical capabilities of these bodies. Nonetheless, they often face the same operational and existential challenges. This report looks at the role of multilateral verification bodies, especially their secretariats, in dealing with compliance and enforcement, the extent to which they achieve “agency” and “influence” in doing so, and whether and how such capacities might be enhanced. In WMD organizations it is the governing bodies that make decisions about noncompliance and enforcement. The role of their secretariats is to manage the monitoring and verification systems, analyse the resulting data – and data from other permitted sources – and alert their governing bodies to suspicions of non-compliance. Secretariats are expected to be impartial, technically oriented and professional. It is when a serious allegation of non-compliance arises that their role becomes most sensitive politically and most vital. The credibility of Secretariats in these instances will depend on the agency and influence that they have accumulated. There are numerous ways in which an international secretariat can position itself for maximum agency and influence, essentially by making itself indispensable to member States and the broader international community. It can achieve this by engaging with multiple stakeholders, aiming for excellence in its human and technical resources, providing timely and sustainable implementation assistance, ensuring an appropriate organizational culture and, perhaps most of all, understanding that knowledge is power. The challenge for supporters of international verification organizations is to enhance those elements that give them agency and influence and minimize those that lead to inefficiencies, dysfunction and, most damaging of all, political interference in verification and compliance judgements.

Abstract:
Tax amnesties have taken centre stage as a compliance tool in recent years. The OECD estimates that since 2009 tax amnesties in 40 jurisdictions have resulted in the collection of an additional €102 billion in tax revenue. A number of African countries have introduced tax amnesties in the last decade, including Nigeria, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania. Despite their global popularity, the efficacy of tax amnesties as a tax compliance tool remains in doubt. The revenue is often below expectations, and it probably could have been raised through effective use of regular enforcement measures. It is also argued that tax amnesties might incentivise non-compliance – taxpayers may engage in non-compliance in the hope of benefiting from an amnesty. This paper examines the administration of tax amnesties in various jurisdictions around the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada, Kenya and South Africa. The paper makes a cost-benefit analysis of these and other tax amnesties – and from this analysis develops a model tax amnesty, whose features maximise the benefits of a tax amnesty while minimising the potential costs. The model tax amnesty: (1) is permanent, (2) is available only to taxpayers who make a voluntary disclosure, (3) relieves taxpayers of penalties, interest and the risk of prosecution, but treats intentional and unintentional non-compliance differently, (4) has clear reporting requirements for taxpayers, and (5) is communicated clearly to attract non-compliant taxpayers without appearing unfair to the compliant ones. The paper then focuses on the Ugandan tax amnesty introduced in July 2019 – a Voluntary Disclosure Programme (VDP). As at 7 November 2020, this initiative had raised USh16.8 billion (US$6.2 million) against a projection of USh45 billion (US$16.6 million). The paper examines the legal regime and administration of this VDP, scoring it against the model tax amnesty. It notes that, while the Ugandan VDP partially matches up to the model tax amnesty, because it is permanent, restricted to taxpayers who make voluntary disclosure and relieves penalties and interest only, it still falls short due to a number of limitations. These include: (1) communication of the administration of the VDP through a public notice, instead of a practice note that is binding on the tax authority; (2) uncertainty regarding situations where a VDP application is made while the tax authority has been doing a secret investigation into the taxpayer’s affairs; (3) the absence of differentiated treatment between taxpayers involved in intentional non-compliance, and those whose non-compliance may be unintentional; (4) lack of clarity on how the VDP protects the taxpayer when non-compliance involves the breach of other non-tax statutes, such as those governing financial regulation; (5)absence of clear timelines in the administration of the VDP, which creates uncertainty;(6)failure to cater for voluntary disclosures with minor errors; (7) lack of clarity on VDP applications that result in a refund position for the applicant; and (8) lack of clarity on how often a VDP application can be made. The paper offers recommendations on how the Ugandan VDP can be aligned to match the model tax amnesty, in order to gain the most from this compliance tool.
