Abstract:

La présente thèse porte sur un phénomène déjà connu et qu'elle désigne comme l'institutionnalisation de la police : durant la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle, de nombreuses villes européennes se dotent d'une administration policière nouvelle qui capte et centralise les prérogatives policières auparavant dispersées entre plusieurs autorités. Si cette dynamique est déjà identifiée, le schéma interprétatif qui l'enserrait, celui de la construction de l'État moderne, a été remis en cause par l'historiographie des dernières décennies ; pour cette raison, elle doit être repensée sous de nouveaux auspices et c'est là l'ambition de notre travail. Celui-ci entend faire dialoguer une historiographie germanophone, qui adopte une perspective premièrement conceptuelle au travers de la large conception de l'ordre sociale qu'est la Policey, et une historiographie francophone principalement axée sur les pratiques et institutions policières. Pour ce faire, la réflexion analyse l'institutionnalisation policière comme un mouvement définitionnel dont elle essaie de saisir les protagonistes, les différentes échelles et les enjeux. Elle montre que l'évolution de la police est en grande part due à une poignée d'administrateurs qui assènent et répètent leurs idées sur plusieurs décennies. Les transformations policières opèrent au niveau des significations et ne sont pas simplement une entreprise de rationalisation mais aussi un mouvement politique qui engage des rapports de force entre acteurs et des conceptions différentes de la relation gouvernants/gouvernés. La thèse met ainsi au jour les luttes autour d'un concept de Polizei qui n'est soluble ni dans la Policey ni dans la pratique policière mais qui regarde l'existence mentale de l'autorité policière
The present dissertation analyses the institutionalisation of the police, which is a phenomenon already known to the historiography: during the second half of the 18th century, many European cities set up new police administrations that centralised and unified police powers. Even though historical research has already shed light on this evolution, the main interpretative scheme applied to it, that is the construction of the modern state, has been widely put into question over the past decades. Therefore, the institutionalisation of the police needs a new interpretation; therein lies the objective of the present work. The aim is to bring together the primarily conceptual perspective of the German historiography, which focusses on the large conception of social order called Policey, and the predominantly institutional and functional understanding of the police in the French historiography. To this end, the thesis conceives the institutionalisation as an act of definition and attempts to grasp its protagonists, scales and stakes. It shows that the evolution of the police was carried by a handful of administrators who asserted and repeated their ideas over several decades. The institutionalisation changed the meaning of the police and was not a mere attempt at rationalisation: it was also a political question involving power relationships between actors and different views on the relations between the governors and the governed. The thesis brings to light the struggles surrounding a concept of Polizei that cannot be equated either with the Policey or with police practices; rather, it concerns the existence of police authority

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to analyze Colombian police policy with particular reference to the police and urban policing after the promulgation of the Constitution of 1991. This study examines how the Constitution of 1991 has impacted on the configuration, professionalization and institutionalization of the Colombian police. This dissertation concludes that the new Constitution of 1991 was crucial in transforming an insignificant organization into a noteworthy public institution with its own corporate aims and ethos and a certain autonomy regarding the government, parties, ministries and the military. This research is divided into three main parts. The first one will focus on the police as a structure emphasizing the process of formation, development and institutionalization. It dissects the police structure into five aspects: historical configuration, structural organization, personnel, expenditure and controls. This part shows that the current importance of the police in the Colombian institutional landscape in terms of international aid, personnel and budget increase and public exposure has no precedents prior to 1991.The second part will be devoted to the study of the organizational life of the police force stressing the role played by high-ranking officers in improving the image of the police and, more importantly, in creating a vigorous institution difficult to control from outside, but at the same time, not easy to manage internally as a consequence of the distinction existing between high-ranking and low-ranking officers. The final part of this work examines urban and community policing in large urban areas taking the case of Bogotá. It focuses on the role played by the police in its implementation, successes and failures, concluding that the reluctance of the police to adopt these programmes of policing has limited their productive effects on the actual job and indeed the whole organization.

Abstract:

L'objet de la these est la mesure de la specificite des polices generales et speciales en droit administratif francais. La premiere partie porte sur les caracteres de la competence de police generale et sur ceux de la competence de police speciale et verifie que ces deux appelations recouvrent deux realites juridiques differentes. Ainsi la police generale apparait fondee sur une norme implicite d'habilitation: l'ordre public general, qui lui confere certaines caracteristiques (caractere conservateur, liberal et general de l'habilitation, pour agir dans la mesure necessaire a la satisfaction de l'ordre). La police speciale est toujours fondee sur un texte expres ayant au moins une origine legislative. Elle manifeste l'affirmation de la puissance publique dans les limites du principe de specialite. La deuxieme partie porte sur la specificite du regime de chaque competence. Elle demontre que les polices ne presentent pas une specificite totale l'une par rapport a l'autre et que l'exercice de la police dans son ensemble voit sa specificite s'amenuiser par rapport au reste de l'activite administrative. On remarque ainsi une faible specificite des decisions de police, que le controle juridictionnel de la legalite est largement adapte a la nature de chaque police et qu'il s'est maintenue une relative specificite du regime de la responsabilite
The aim of the thesis is to evaluate the specificity of general and special polices in french administrative law. The first part studies the characteristics of the competence of general police and those of the competence of special police, and acertains that these two expressions represent two different legal realities. Thus the general police appears to be based on an implicit standard of empowerment general public order, which gives it certain characteristics (the conservative, liberal and general character of the empoverment, to act insofar as the preservation of order requires). The special police is always based on an explicit text, which has at least a legislative origin, it represents the assertion of public power within the limits of the principle of specialty. The second part deals with the specificity of the regime of each competence. It shows that the polices do not present an entire specificity (with respect to one an other) and that the exercise of the police as a whole sees its specificity diminish with respect to the other administrative activities. Therefore we notice a small specificity in the decisions of the police, that the jurisdictional control of legality is amply suited to the nature of each police and that a relative specificity of the regime of responsability is maintained

Abstract:

This thesis assesses the influence of The Home Office, Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulaiy, the Association of Chief Police Officers, the Audit Commission, the Local Police Authority, and the Chief Constable on local policy makers and impleinenters within the Devon & Cornwall Constabiilary. It is based on five policy areas: the structmre of the organisation. The Citizens' Charter, Annual Policing (now Performance) Plans, Domestic Violence Policy, and Equal Opportunities Policy. Unlike previous research, it brings together the issues of policy and practice at all levels of the organisation through interviews with senior managers in the Devon & Cornwall Constabulary and members of the Local Police Authority, and questionnaires to front line police officers; as well as analysis of Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary reports and Police Authority Policing Plans, and recomniendations made in Home Office Circulars and Audit Commission reports. The research was carried out prior to the infroduction of Crime and Disorder Partnerships and Crime Audits, required by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. Both policy makers and policy implementers believed that there was a sfrong influence from all the key players in the policy areas examined, with the exception of the Association.of Chief Police Officers arid the Local Police Authority: There is-no'^yidence; to suggest that there has been any change in the power relationship between the Chief Constable and the Police Authority. For police officers directly iiivolved in the implementation process. The Citizens' Charter and Annual Policing (now Performance) Plans had made little differerice to the way they carried out their day-to-day work. In these more generic policy areas they saw less influence from the key players but perceived greater influence coming from consumers, public opinion, colleagues and immediate supervisors. In the tighter policy area of domestic violence, where there is greater top down confrol, the mfluence of the key players was the sfrongest, and local autonomy, both in policy and practice was hard to find. The police organisatiori retains many of the attiibutes of a classical bureaucracy and an ideal form of organisational stincture has yet to be found.

Abstract:

The apparent lack of any previous work focusing on Police Probationer Training was the impetus behind this research. This very important area of police training is undergone by all officers and their probationary period lasts two years. Numerous reviews and amendments have taken place over the years but do not seem to have been documented in any structured way. The aim of this research was to discover how this training evolved, the reasons for change, and the way it has been implemented. Finally the present day system was examined in detail, compared with the experience of older officers and other systems. Method Obtaining the information has proved a task of detective work, examining numerous minutes, reports and documents produced within and without the police service. Field work was carried out throughout Lincolnshire Police and by visits to Ryton Police Training Centre and the central Planning Unit at Harrogate (now renamed as Training Support, Harrogate). Questionnaires were circulated to officers undergoing the training, officers who attended earlier courses and the trainers themselves. These were followed up by selected interviews. Training delivery was witnessed at Ryton Police Training Centre and within the Lincolnshire Force. Conclusions The results of this research indicate that the training given to initial recruits within the police service is as good as it has ever been. It is, however, cost led and, although the two year probationary period is somewhat euphemistically referred to as a training period, it is much more beside as, once the foundation course of 31 weeks is completed, probationers become a resource deployed in much the same way as their experienced colleagues. The post foundation phase of training is delivered in force with little or no central control and consequently the standard of training is not consistent. The thesis traces the development but, owing to lack of access to, or simply nonexistence, of some documents it cannot be claimed to be absolutely complete.

Abstract:

Police high-speed vehicular pursuits are contentious due to lives lost and property damage resulting from unintended crashes. To reduce pursuit-related trauma, and potential litigation, police jurisdictions have introduced restrictive policies that limit when officers may engage in a pursuit. However, opponents of restrictive pursuit policies believe this results in reduced deterrence, increased criminal offending and dangerous driving practices. This thesis tested these assumptions using a single case study of Queensland, Australia, where the Queensland Police Service (QPS) implemented two restrictive pursuit policy iterations in 2007 and 2011. Five studies sought to establish the policies’ specific aims; whether they were achieved; if there was resistance to the policy reforms; and, if so, what were the rationales for such resistance. The major theoretical contribution of this thesis was to support the notion that Dent and Goldberg’s (1999a; 1999b) Loss Resistance Theory can help explain why police might resist policy reform. Loss Resistance Theory argues that change per se is not the root cause for resistance to performance altering policies, but stakeholders’ perceived losses in terms of their autonomy, status, and independent discretion, resulting from the policy change. Lipsky’s (2010) Discretionary Independence Theory applied to police officers acting as ‘street-level bureaucrats’ (Lipsky, 2010), provided an additional theoretical platform to test policy limitations on officers’ decision-making. Several other theories were derived from the literature and used to assist data collection and provide focus to the analysis. These included Classical Deterrence Theory, as derived from Hobbes (1651), Beccaria (1764/1872) and Bentham (1780/1988), that was tested relative to alterations in offending behaviour. Moore’s Public Value Theory (1995), that explains public acceptance of authority and coercion is judged against citizens’ expectations for justice, fairness, efficiency, and effectiveness, provided an opportunity to explore external policy acceptance and/or resistance. Cohen and Felson’s (1979) Routine Activity Theory proposes that for a crime to be successfully committed, the three necessary elements are a motivated offender, the availability of a suitable target, and the absence of a capable guardian. The theory was tested by analysis of crime patterns and offending behaviours where police guardianship may have been affected by the policy restrictions. The research began with study 1, a documentary archival search and analysis spanning the pre-policy years from 1989 to 2006, that sought to confirm the intent of Queensland’s restrictive pursuit policies. Applying a One Group Pretest/Posttest Design method, using official QPS data from 2003 to 2015, study 2 then explored changes in pursuit frequencies, and associated trauma, before and after each policy iteration. Study 3 used the same method to test changes in frequency and rate of selected offence categories. Study 4 analysed operational reports to identify policy noncompliance that may infer resistance. And, finally, study 5 analysed interview responses from fifteen operational police officers. Findings from study 1 reveal the primary intent of the policies was to reduce the number of deaths associated with police pursuits. Study 2 found that both restrictive policies reduced pursuit-related trauma, as intended. Crime classes tested in study 3 all showed reductions to varying degrees, except evasion offences, which increased exponentially. Early policy resistance was evident from the results of study 4 but diminished over time. The results of studies 4 & 5 found early resistance to the restrictive policies was predicated on officers’ fears of potential loss to their autonomy, independent decision-making capacity, and operational feasibility. This research established that restrictive police pursuit policies did not contribute to increases in the general road death toll due to any lack of road policing enforcement, as predicted in the literature. And, except for evasion offences, they did not facilitate increased crime where the use of a vehicle is either mandatory or desirable for the successful completion of the offence. With the passing of time, and the negation of pre-empted outcomes, resistance is now largely eliminated. However, police officers reportedly continue to resist applying the evasion offence policy requirements, while in their view prosecutors and magistrates fail to adhere to the relevant legislation. Future researchers may wish to test the findings in an alternative jurisdiction to establish if the results can be equally observed and replicated. However, the findings imply that police administrators contemplating policy reform should focus greater attention and resources on ongoing training investment before and after policy implementation. Their goal should be to ensure officers are thoroughly versed in the organization’s aims, so that policies may be fully embraced by operational and prosecutorial staff, while assuaging any perceived losses from the outset, particularly to officers’ status and authority.

Abstract:

Police organizations have a problem retaining female police officers, especially those who are mothers. Women leave the policing profession at higher rates during childbearing and child-rearing years than during any other time in their career. Using feminist theory as a foundation, the purpose of this phenomenological study was to gain a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of policewomen who are mothers and identify factors that contribute to poor retention rates during childbearing and child-rearing years. Data were collected through 11 interviews with policewomen, who were also mothers, in Ohio. These data were analyzed using Saldana's 2-cycle coding procedure followed by thematic analysis. The findings included a set of patterns that provided insight into the reasons why female police officers are more difficult to retain. These patterns included: (a) challenges related to a double standard associated with women being primary caregivers, (b) psycho-social changes after children including hypervigilance on the job, (c) fear of reassignment or termination, and (d) the perception that departmental policy fails to address the unique needs of female officers. Together, the findings suggest that police departments today have yet to fully understand the challenges that policewomen who are mothers face on a daily basis. The implications for social change include reformed policies and practices that could contribute to the advancement and professionalization of the policing profession as a whole by changing the traditionally masculine organizational culture and promoting a more gender-neutral environment, thus allowing communities to benefit from having a more diverse police force.

Online service providers (OSPs) such as Google, Yahoo!, and Amazon provide customized features that do not behave as conventional experience goods. Absent familiar metaphors, unraveling the full. scope and implications of attendant privacy hazards requires technical knowledge, creating information asymmetries for casual users. While a number of information asymmetries are proximately rooted in the substantive content of OSP privacy policies, the lack of countervailing standards guidelines can be traced to systemic failures on the part of privacy regulating institutions. In particular, the EU Data Protection Directive (EU-DPD) and the US Safe Harbor Agreement (US-SHA) are based on comprehensive norms, but do not provide pragmatic guidelines for addressing emerging privacy hazards in a timely manner. The dearth of substantive privacy standards for behavioral advertising and emerging location-based services highlight these gaps. To explore this problem, the privacy policies of ten large OSPs were evaluated in terms of strategies for complying with the EU-DPD and US-SHA and in terms of their role as tools for enabling informed decision-making. Analysis of these policies shows that OSPs do little more than comply with the black letter of the EU-DPD and USSHA. Tacit data collection is an illustrative instance. OSP privacy policies satisfice by acknowledging the nominal mechanisms behind tacit data collection supporting services that "enhance and customize the user experience," but these metaphors do not sufficiently elaborate the privacy implications necessary for the user to make informed choices. In contrast, privacy advocates prefer "privacy and surveillance" metaphors that draw users attention away from the immediate gratification of customized services. Although OSPs do bear some responsibility, neither the EU-DPD nor the US-SHA provide the guidance or incentives necessary to develop more substantive privacy standards. In light of these deficiencies, this work identifies an alternative, collaborative approach to the design of privacy standards. OSPs often obscure emerging privacy hazards in favor of promoting innovative services. Privacy advocates err on the other side, giving primacy to "surveillance" metaphors and obscuring the utility of information based services. Rather than forcing users to unravel the conflicting metaphors, collaborative approaches focus on surfacing shared concerns. The collaborative approach presented here attempts to create a forum in which OSPs, advertisers, regulators, and civil society organizations contribute to a strategic menu of technical and policy options that highlight mutually beneficial paths to second best solutions. Particular solutions are developed through a process of issue (re)framing focused on identifying common metaphors that highlight shared concerns, reduce overall information asymmetries, and surface the requirements for governance and privacy tools that address emerging risks. To illustrate this reframing process, common deficiencies identified in the set of privacy policies are presented along with strategic options and examples of potential reframings.

This paper examines the response of international investors to country fiscal outcomes and the dynamics of this response according to the type of government that is in power. The issue is examined with a model that has been estimated using data from 22 OECD countries for the period of 1998 through 2008. International financial flows are highly heterogeneous and this paper finds different effects depending on the type of flow. The results of this paper suggest that an increase in government expenses increase the level of FDI and an increase in government revenues decrease the level of FDI. The evidence produced in the model also suggests that Majority governments have a negative impact on the level of the three types of capital flows.

Abstract:

In 1996, the New Orleans Police Department implemented the COMSTAT management and accountability style of policing. Within three years of that implementation, murder was cut by over fifty percent and violent crime fell by nearly the same amount; overall crime was cut by over one-third compared to just three years ago. This dissertation seeks to explore the reasons crime declined so rapidly in New Orleans post-COMSTAT implementation, compared to crime in the rest of the country. Drawing on political and criminological theories of policing as well as sociological theories, variables unique to each set of theories were identified and tested alone and against competing explanations. Utilizing higher-ordered time series methodology, two analyses were conducted. The first utilized interrupted time-series analysis to identify the nature of COMSTAT's impact on New Orleans' crime trends, measured as changes in the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the preceding year. The results show that while COMSTAT had a significant impact on the crime trends, the effects were short-lived. The second analysis utilized traditional time series methodology to examine the impacts of the individual variables on the overall crime trends. The results show that while policing variables and sociological variables have little effect on the overall crime trends both individually and when tested together, the findings indicate policing variables play a larger role than sociological variables when included together. As another independent test of the effects of crime, public opinion data obtained via the University of New Orleans' Survey Research Center from 1986-2004 show that the public was very positive towards the NOPD's efforts in dramatically reducing crime and fear of crime in New Orleans during this period. The overall results for policy makers then indicates that reductions in crime resonate positively with city residents and future policy decisions should be made with that goal in mind.

Abstract:

Australian Police Ministers and Commissioners occupy a pivotal position in the system of law enforcement. Collectively, they are responsible for the general policy, administration and operational direction and control of policing through the Australian States. There has been in the past twenty five years a growing complexity and a variety of problems facing police agencies which are arduous and demanding. Continuing social tension of recent years have given police ministers and commissioners higher public profiles than ever before. The research undertaken in this thesis examines the difficulties experienced between police ministers and commissioners in Queensland and New South Wales from 1970 to 1995. Three models have been developed as a framework to analyse the relationships and how they operate. The three models are called - 'Dependency', 'Independency' and 'Interdependency'. Twenty-one police ministers, commissioners and advisers from Queensland and New South Wales were interviewed during the course of the research. Five separate case studies were developed to analyse and interpret the relationships within the context of the three models. A summary chapter of additional research data provides supporting information which was used to substantiate the case study material. The conclusion argues that relationships operate more effectively when elements of the 'Interdependency' model exist. The need for further debate about the administrative, legal and management elements of the working relationship between a police minister and commissioner is essential to achieve a balance between policy, administration and operational requirements within a modern western democratic policing system.

Abstract:

The European Union (EU) has focused, since the establishment of the European Economic Community with the Treaty of Rome in 1957, on cooperation with developing countries, in particular with the former colonies of its Member States, the African Carabbean and Pacific (ACP) countries. Whilst the principle of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD) emerged in the work of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and in the EU political agenda since the early 1990s, it was only in the mid-2000s that it became the primary goal of EU development policy. This thesis will analyse firstly the evolution of EU development policy since the Treaty of Rome, in order to understand the broad context in which PCD emerged; secondly, I will try to explain how and why PCD emerged, how it has been defined, who are the actors, both within the EU and at a multilateral level, that committed to the principle, what are the specific policy instruments that they adopt to implement it and also how it is assessed the level of coherence achieved, in order to understand whether the European Union does successfully promote and apply the principle in its development policy; and finally, I will analyse the Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) as a case study for determining whether the EU successfully translated its commitments towards PCD into practice in its relations with the ACP countries, fostering their development through trade policy.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of three essays addressing the impact of tax policy changes on the macroeconomic aggregates and also on the real and financial decisions of firms of different sizes. In the first chapter, "State-Dependent Macroeconomic Effects of Tax Changes: Estimates Based on Narrative Records in the U.S.," I provide evidence on the state-dependent macroeconomic effects of tax liability changes in the United States. I estimate a state-dependent model where the state of the economy is measured by the amount of slack in the economy. We consider narrative approach to identify tax shocks and local projection technique to calculate impulse responses. Our estimates show that linear responses are being about half-way between the large estimated responses during good times and the much smaller effects and not significantly different from zero during bad times. This suggests that, while the identified tax shocks based on narrative records are indeed unrelated to the state of the economy, the macroeconomics effects of the shocks are different depending on the state of the economy. Results are shown to be robust to many alternative specifications. We also find that the effects of tax changes depend on whether the tax changes are tax-cuts or tax-increases. Those tax cuts taken to stimulate long-run growth are more likely to increase growth and reduce deficits in good times than bad times, but instead, tax increases taken to deal with an inherited budget deficit have strong effect on deficit reduction during bad times. Second chapter, "Tax Policy and Investment Behavior of Small and Large Firms" (joint with Morteza Zamanian) investigates the role of size in firms' responses to exogenous tax changes over the post-WWII period. Using the US Census Bureau, Quarterly Financial Report (QFR) data and employing a local projection method, we find that both small and large firms respond to exogenous corporate income tax cuts by boosting investment. However, large businesses relatively contribute higher share of aggregate changes of business investment. We also explore firms financing behavior in such occurrences. Perhaps the most controversial result of this paper is the responses of cash holding to tax policy changes. Despite the fact that small firms hold relatively more cash (cash to asset) than large firms, and then one would expect that small firms use their cash when investment opportunities arrive, instead, our finding show that large firms rely more heavily on cash to finance investment. In addition, while both firms increase their use of external financing, small firms rely more on debt to finance investment. In fact, cash reserves of large firms appear to be a strong substitute for debt in response to a corporate tax cut. "Dynamics of Cash Holding: Evidence from U.S. Manufacturing Firms 1956-2014" (joint with Morteza Zamanian) is the last chapter of this dissertation which explores the long-run dynamics of corporate cash holding using a novel dataset of U.S. manufacturing firms. The results mirror previous empirical findings of increasing cash-to-asset ratio from the 1980s onwards. However, looking at a longer horizon we show that the trend of the cash ratio has been roughly U-shaped since 1955. To explain this fact, we review alternative theories of cash holding dynamics and show that cash flow volatility theory is the unique theory which can explain evolution of the cash ratio over the past six decades. In addition, using this dataset we show that the aggregate dynamics of cash holding is not driven by a particular size class of firms.

Abstract:

Since 2001, and the US response to international terrorism by launching an ill-defined and open-ended ‘Global War on Terror’, a striking debate (re)emerged within the discipline of International Relations (IR) about the global nature of American power, more specifically about the imperial character of the exercise of that power. In a discipline such as IR, forged on the heels of colonialism (cf. Schmidt 1998: 123-150, Long & Schmidt 2005), it is somewhat surprising that for several decades, little work had been produced within its mainstream on the topic of empires and imperialism1. Whatever the causes of this, two events were to change that sad state of affairs. One was the publication and unexpected success of the book Empire by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (Hardt & Negri 2000), which received an unusually broad array of acclaim and critique, and became something of a global phenomenon in sales, slowly achieving that rare status of a ‘theory’ best-seller. The other trigger, barely a year apart, was September 11th and its aftermath. The response of the US government under George W. Bush helped re-launch the debate, and made empire a political buzzword once again (Eakin 2002, Ricks 2001). This was compounded by the influence of the so-called neo-conservatives within his administration – some of them vocal proponents of an imperial set of policies towards the rest of the world (Boot 2001, 2002, 2003a, 2003b, 2003c; Kagan 1998). To borrow Michael Cox's ironic and apt phrase, the empire was back in town (Cox 2003).

Abstract:

This research is a contribution to the analysis, measurement and explanation of accountability for public policies. Firstly, I develop a proposal to analyze and measure accountability for public policies. This proposal is innovative since it provides an analytical framework that can be used to measure and compare levels of accountability in different kinds of policies (e.g., health, education, pensions, etc.) or in different contexts (from countries or regions to complex multi-layered authority structures). Secondly, I test the validity of my proposal with an empirical application centered in the health policy in Spain, whose decentralized design allows analyzing the differences in levels of accountability of health policies in each of the 17 autonomous communities. Finally, I analyze the causal conditions that can -or can not- lead to the accountability of this public policy.

En segundo lugar, pongo a prueba la validez de mi propuesta con una aplicación empírica centrada en la política de salud en España, cuyo diseño descentralizado permite analizar las diferencias en los niveles de rendición de cuentas de esta política en cada una de las diecisiete comunidades autónomas. Finalmente, analizo las variables que pueden favorecer o dificultar la rendición de cuentas de esta política pública.

Abstract:

The thesis seeks to examine whether the concept of the British policy network framework helps to explain policy change in Japan. For public policy studies in Japan, such an examination is significant because the framework has been rarely been used in analysis of Japanese policy. For public policy studies in Britain and elsewhere, such an examination would also bring benefits as it would help to answer the important question of whether it can be usefully applied in the other contexts. Based on an examination of the policy networks concept, this thesis sets out four distinct hypotheses. In order to examine their validity, the thesis examines policy-making and policy changes on emission standards in automobile air pollution policies in Japan from the 1960s to the 2000s based on the application of the policy networks approach. The thesis concludes that the policy networks approach can help to explain policy changes in Japan to a certain extent but that its explanatory value is limited. In order to make the concept more relevant to Japan, the thesis suggests that the approach should pay more attention to interpersonal relationships, individuals and individual companies and that it should consider how well participants are incorporated into networks and whether different interests can co-exist without conflicts more fully. Further, it proposes that the approach should take into consideration other associated policy networks and relationships between policy networks in order to more effectively understand policy change. Finally, based on the findings, the thesis proposes future research on shifts from the government style to the governance style of politics on automobile air pollution at both the national and local levels in Japan.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Local law enforcement is a necessary and irreplaceable component to a comprehensive approach to increasing the probability of detection of attempted Nuclear and Radiological Terrorism incidents. Local law enforcements unique knowledge, skills, and abilities provide investigative, protection, and direct action capabilities not found in other nonmilitary disciplines. A well-trained, equipped, and situational aware Law Enforcement community can form our nations last, best defense against this terrorist threat. This thesis will examine the broad policy options for law enforcement agencies pursuing a Preventive Radiological Nuclear Detection (PRND) program. The examination will look at four options (1) taking no action and leaving the PRND mission to federal agencies, (2) a single agency approach, (3) multiple law enforcement agencies creating a regional PRND program and (4) a multidisciplinary, multiagency approach covering a large urban area. Each option will use a case to illustrate the comparative aspects of planning, organization, equipment, training, exercising, and operations support. It will be shown that interested law enforcement agencies can choose and implement a PRND that meets their needs as part of an overall homeland security program in their respective jurisdiction. The goal is to encourage more law enforcement agencies to participate in the domestic portion of a global strategy known as the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA). This document will serve as a roadmap for agencies wishing to engage in this mission.

Abstract:

This study examines the variations in the practice of implementation in different implementation structures using the case of police education reforms that were undertaken by the Turkish National Police (TNP) in 2001 and 2003. Differentiations and similarities in the top-down and bottom-up structures while practicing the process of implementation were investigated in this study. First, the study provides a comprehensive understanding of the process of implementation and structure of implementation. Second, the study introduces TNP education reforms and explains the reasons for the reform. Third, a quantitative approach is used to measure the success of the TNP educational reforms. Specifically, multiple regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and post hoc tests are used to clarify if police performance in the TNP has improved since the reforms. Fourth, the study uses a qualitative approach to find out how features associated with top-down or bottom up approaches were involved in the process of implementation of the educational reforms. Finally, based upon the views of the participants in the qualitative analysis, the study examines the variations in the practice of implementation between decision makers and the street level bureaucrats.

Abstract:

Considering police-public consultation forums as a device, or tactic, to ‘civilize’ policing, the possibilities and limitations of ‘civilizing policing’ using this method can be shown. Police-public consultation forums can ‘civilize’ policing – in the sense Loader and Walker (2007) use the term – by contributing to police reform, democratic policing, and police legitimacy. Using the case of Edinburgh, Scotland, the achievements of police-public consultation forums for reform, democratic policing, and legitimacy, are examined and an argument made that consultation forums can make positive contributions in each of these areas. However, the example of consultation forums also reveals significant conceptual and structural limitations to the ideas of reform, democracy, and legitimacy when applied to the police. These limitations are articulated using the social theory of Simmel, Weber, and Lukes: Simmel and Weber reveal the inflexibility and non-negotiable aspects of the police that defies reform and democratic ambitions; Lukes provides an important precautionary perspective on the ‘democraticness’ of democratic devices; and, comparing Lukes with the work of Weber provides a view on legitimacy that reveals advanced complexities to ‘police legitimacy’. In sum, police-public consultation forums contribute to ‘civilizing policing’, but it is also useful to reflect and consider the non-negotiable limits the ‘form’ of the police applies to possible positive change.

Abstract:

Drug addiction and abuse in the United States has reached epidemic levels, and marijuana is the most used and abused illegal drug. With the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in Colorado, marijuana use has increased even further. Even though the legalization of medical marijuana occurred in November, 2000, and legalization of recreational marijuana use has occurred even more recently, November 2012, the full effect of the implementation of recreational marijuana on police agencies in Colorado remains unknown. Although Colorado law enforcement organizations will soon face the challenge of hiring officers with a history of past marijuana use, many Colorado departments have not modified recruitment and hiring policies. Coleman and Goodman’s snowballing sampling technique resulted in a sample of 20 Colorado police officers who discussed department policies that allow for the hiring of officers with a history of prior marijuana use. This discussion included their attitudes toward coworkers hired under such policy and factors that may influence those feelings. Data were collected through direct interaction by in-depth, one-on-one, informal and unstructured interviews. Participant interviews were transcribed, uploaded to NVivo 11, and coded. Results of data analysis showed participants did not have adverse thoughts or feelings about the departmental policies that allowed for the hiring of an individual with a history of marijuana use, as long as those individuals met departmental standards and recreational marijuana policy. However, some factors may influence their perception of the police officer, such as how long the police officer used marijuana, how long the police officer had gone without using marijuana, and the nature in which the police officer used marijuana (experimental, recreational/social, or chronic). Knowledge of these perceptions may help departments create new hiring policies or modify those that already exist.

Abstract:

Cette thèse en politique économique internationale analyse à travers 4 chapitres les facteurs influençant la prise de décision en se focalisant sur les trajectoires des décideurs. Le premier chapitre montre que les membres du Conseil d’Administration (CA) du Fonds Monétaire International (FMI) ont un avantage considérable en matière de prêt et de remboursement sur les autres membres du FMI à travers des réseaux informels développés par leur simple présence aux réunions de CA du FMI à Washington DC. Le second chapitre met l’accent sur les trajectoires de carrière des membres du CA du FMI avant et après leur poste au sein de cette institution et comment ces trajectoires influent les prêts et les modalités de remboursement des pays emprunteurs. Dans un troisième chapitre, nous cherchons à savoir si les années de récession connues par les Présidents des Banques Centrales des pays occidentaux sont en mesure d’influencer leur gestion de ces institutions. Enfin, le quatrième chapitre propose un modèle d’économie politique des réformes en montrant l’importance des syndicats des travailleurs ainsi que des transferts de richesse de la part des gouvernements vers les populations, sur la mise en œuvre des réformes au sein des pays de l’OCDE. Cette thèse montre qu’à l’instar des décideurs nationaux qui ont tendance à influencer directement la vie économique des pays, les décideurs internationaux de par leurs histoires, leurs identités et leurs expériences de vie, peuvent également influencer la sphère économique des pays
This thesis in international political economy analyses factors influencing the decision-taking focusing on the trajectories of policy-makers across 4 chapters. The first chapter shows that the IMF’s Executive Board (EB) members have a considerable advantage on other IMF members in terms of loans and repayments through informal networks developed by their simple presence on the IMF’s EB at Washington DC. The second chapter focuses on the IMF’s EB career trajectories before and after their position, and how these trajectories influence loans and repayment modalities of borrowing countries. In a third chapter, we want to know in what extend central bankers’ recession experiences tend to lead them to decrease the interest rates of central banks. Finally, the fourth chapter proposes a model of political economy of reforms showing the importance of unions and transfers from governments to populations concerning the implementation of reforms in OECD countries. This thesis shows that, as national policy-makers which tend to directly influence the economic life, international policy-makers, through their stories, identities and life experiences, can also influence the economic sphere of countries

Abstract:

The threat of terrorism, and in particular the threat of terrorists using biological weapons, has grown since the early 1990s, over the decade the assessment and perception of threat escalated despite an absence of biological weapons use. This research explores policy responses to the threat from bioterrorism in the UK between 1990 and 2005. A case study approach is used to examine the emergence and rise of the bioterrorism threat, and the institutional arrangement in place to confront that threat. The dissertation further investigates the construction of the threat narrative. The policy area of bioterrorism is obscured by secrecy. Therefore, this dissertation looks towards policy responses to pandemic influenza, and uses responses to pandemic influenza as a heuristic device to illustrate the difficulties of risk assessment and the accompanying institutional complexity. The study posits that traditional, academic risk assessment methodologies do not appear to have as large an influence as the narratives. Furthermore, the prevailing conceptualisation of the bioterrorism threat is the product of the confluence of three threat narratives. These narratives have become entangled and subsequently embedded in the institutional response. Moreover, a number of events have influenced and shaped the threat narrative of bioterrorism. First, a change in perception (sarin, 1995); then a jolt to the political and institutional structures (September 11, 2001); and finally, further bombings and plots have augmented the threat narrative (Madrid & London). This study is positioned at the intersection of policy studies and risk assessment, contributing to an understanding of the formation of institutional threat perceptions.

Abstract:

A lack of alignment between police performance evaluation policy purposes and officer performance evaluation perceptions has implications for the organizations’ resource management, officer morale, and public safety. A literature review points towards a gap existing between policy purpose statements and employee perceptions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the policy purposes of police performance evaluations and the officers’ perceptions of those evaluation experiences in 4 Ontario municipal police services. DiMaggio and Powell’s (1983) Institutional theory was the foundation for this study. Data for this study were collected from 4 police services in Ontario, Canada. The data consisted of police performance evaluation policies and in-person interviews with 12 officers. Data were inductively coded, and then the coded data were subjected to content analysis. Three policy purpose themes and 13 officer perception themes emerged that indicate that: 1) there seems to be a lack of alignment between the policy purpose theme of assessing work performance and eight of the perception themes; 2) officers perceived performance evaluations as negatively impacting their morale: and, 3) healthy relationships with supervisors were more useful to officers than performance evaluations in terms of performance and career outcomes and progression. Consistent with Institutional theory, officers perceived performance evaluations to be necessary even with limited utility. The positive social change implications stemming from this study include recommendations to police executives to consider alternative processes in tandem with performance evaluations to improve morale, in turn creating better opportunities for improved public and officer safety.

Abstract:

This thesis provides an innovative and original contribution to the field of cultural policy research, critically assessing the public cultural policies enforced in three Central Asian countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. Moving from the conceptual framework of system and lifeworld, this dissertation studies how the Central Asian governments tend to colonize the cultural sphere intervening through legislative, financial and institutional measures. The first chapter looks at the concept of cultural policy and related to it theories. The cultural policy refers to policies of diverse stakeholders that are directed to regulate or affect production and distribution of cultural goods and services. This chapter considers first, the framework of Deulund P., based on the interplay of Habermasian concepts system and lifeworld and second, the types of governmental approach toward the cultural sphere proposed by Hillman-Chartrand and McCaughey. The second chapter introduces the legislations of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in the cultural sphere. Identifying the main similarities and differences this thesis argues that the main reason of similarities are Soviet legislation and regional integration processes. One of the sections argues that the presidents of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan possess central position in shaping the cultural policy. The third chapter after assessing the legal terms related to the cultural property, studies the balance of the divergent interests (international, national, private) regarding the cultural property in the legislations of analyzed countries. The study is performed through the analysis of two hypothetical cases (national vs. private) and dualism between cultural nationalism and cultural internationalism. The fourth chapter investigates the cultural decentralization process, applying two analytical tools: the Type Function Framework and the Administrative Design Framework. There are two main conclusions emerged after collected data analysis. First, Kazakhstan has embraced the most decentralized system, while the management of the cultural sphere in Uzbekistan is still largely based on a centralized decisionmaking. Second, all three analyzed countries have adopted a strategy of Distributed Institutional Monopoly. Concluding, this thesis draws up a historical reconstruction of the administrative cultural policy-making in independent Kazakhstan. The goal is to highlight how the structure of the ministry of culture, the public finance in the cultural sector, and the landscape of cultural organizations has changed over the years. In this way, it has been possible to identify the trends of the cultural policy development in Kazakhstan as well as to critically evaluate the practical efficacy of the governmental strategy.

Abstract:

The thesis is a qualitative study of police policy, training, and perceptions of police practice regarding the provision of ‘fair and just’ police responses to persons with mental illness (PWMI) in crisis. The thesis suggests that police policy guidelines and training practices may not appropriately equip police to recognise, understand, and manage PWMI in a fair and procedurally just manner. In addition, police culture within the organisation, and the organisation’s emphasis on paramilitary ideals is argued to limit and challenge procedurally just policing of PWMI.
