This book addresses a specific subset of nonprofits that are chartered with a single mission: decrease the burden of government. Designing and engaging nonprofits to lessen the burden of government requires a specific description and acknowledgement of the burden to be lessened, and these may include the provision of infrastructure, the relief of debt, or the provision of general public services that are not motivated by charity. It also requires the assignment of specific operating powers to the nonprofit including the power of eminent domain. This book explores these and other related topics including the avoidance of resource dependence on government when attempting to reduce its burden. The book is addressed to the policy makers and rule makers who design policies that affect the ability of the nonprofit to effectively lessen the burden of government. It is also addressed to public administrators in search of innovative ways of implementing these policies consistent with the laws, and to the creative nonprofit managers who are charged with carrying out the mission often in collaboration with the government or other entities. To the advanced student in all related fields, the author offers not only material for discussion, but enables discovery of what is possible by giving key examples of organizations meeting the terms and objective of lessening a significant burden of government.

Qui gouverne ce monde polycentrique ? Une synthèse inédite pour mieux décrypter l'action publique, à partir des différents niveaux politico-administratifs qui la composent. Implantation d'un nouvel équipement collectif, choix d'aménagement, gestion de services publics, réformes institutionnelles, mise en œuvre de politiques publiques, etc. Notre vie quotidienne est parsemée de décisions qui impliquent des acteurs appartenant à des sphères politiques distinctes mais interdépendantes (collectivités territoriales, État, Union européenne).Cette multiplicité d'intervenants et de centres de pouvoirs peut nous laisser démunis lorsque nous cherchons à comprendre l'action publique, à imputer des responsabilités, à exercer nos droits et devoirs de citoyens ou à défendre une cause qui nous tient à cœur. S'adressant à un large lectorat (étudiants, chercheurs, praticiens ou simples citoyens), ce livre propose d'apporter des éclairages à ces questions en dressant un panorama des principales approches théoriques qui se sont intéressées à l'analyse des relations institutionnelles multi-niveaux.

This book explores the type of leadership needed to transform EU Institutions to allow them to truly serve Europe's people. Our world today calls for leaders who are connected to themselves, know how to unleash the potential of others and build organisations that serve people's needs, and are stewards of society. The path towards transformation is not just about learning another trick or method, it is an inward journey each of us must undertake. We search to first recognise our best self and then give ourselves to lead our lives in service of a bigger purpose. The prioritising of serving others leads to a conscious choice of one aspiring to lead. In turn, others will experience this inspiration at all levels, learning to lead as servants. This timeless concept is what Robert Greenleaf referred to when he coined the term "servant-leadership" in 1970. This book not only gives insights into the servant-leadership philosophy, but also offers real-life interviews with twelve EU civil servants, including Herman van Rompuy, former President of the European Council. Their stories illustrate that servant-leadership is manifesting inside EU institutions already, independent of background and function level. Servant-leadership offers a unique opportunity to empower EU professionals in facing the challenges of the 21st century and helping the EU to serve its citizens better.
