This book analyzes ancient cities that are facing crisis, and their coping mechanism to maintain resiliency and sustainability to remain economically viable and historically relevant. The book takes a fresh look at the underlying causes of the crises and recommends good governance and strategic planning options that the city could use to develop a robust economy using surveys and other materials, including geez (old Ethiopian language) church sources. This book illustrates the usage of the concepts of resilience and sustainability to critically assess the historical and cultural transformation of cities and the role of local government in maintaining a sustainable community. A historic city that served as the national capital for close to 250 years, where Christians, Moslems, and Jews lived side by side for centuries, and once dubbed “Paris de l’Abyssinie” by European travelers because of its rich cultural resources, modern artifacts, and setting of new fashions, today Gondar is experiencing stagnation and decline because of changes that moved the center of political power from the city to Addis Ababa in the central part of the country. Since the last century, Gondar has been struggling to maintain its identity as the historical and cultural center of Ethiopia. This book also gives insights on some of Gondar’s extraordinary historic issues/subjects including who were the main construction workers that built the Fasil castle, how did the Ethiopian Orthodox churches of Gondar sustain themselves for centuries, where is kurate Reesu (the 16th century painting of Christ with crown of thorns) treasured by Gondarian emperors, how did the tabot of Abune Teklehaymanot of Debre Libanos (the most influential church in Ethiopia) end up in Azezo (Gondar) and stayed there for over 260 years, and who were the main royal women that opposed the Jesuits plan of converting Ethiopia to Catholicism?

Publieke organisaties vervullen cruciale functies in de maatschappij. Van hen wordt verwacht dat ze daarbij transparant opereren, maar ook efficiënt en flexibel zijn. Dit boek heeft als doel om zowel studenten als publieke managers inzicht te geven in de spanningen en dilemma?s die uit deze verwachtingen voortkomen en waarmee leidinggevenden van publieke organisaties in de dagelijkse praktijk te maken hebben.00Het balanceren tussen tegenstrijdige waarden loopt als rode draad door het boek, waarmee het bijzondere karakter van publiek management duidelijk wordt. In deel I van het boek wordt de context van publiek management beschreven op zowel macro-, meso- als microniveau. In deel II wordt ingegaan op de verschillende taakvelden van publieke managers, waarbij een onderscheid gemaakt wordt tussen de relatie met de omgeving, zoals netwerkmanagement en coproductie, en interne managementvraagstukken, zoals leiderschap, teamwerk en diversiteit.0.
