Should governmental administrative agencies be liable to pay compensation to agents who suffer losses as a result of a policy U-turn? Drawing on insights from political and legal theory, Alexander Brown argues that agencies should be held liable for losses they directly cause by creating and then frustrating legitimate expectations.

"This study assesses the evolution, achievements and challenges in the design and implementation of digital government strategies in Chile since 2004. It aims to support the Government of Chile in framing and implementing future strategic decisions and developing digital capacity throughout the public sector. In particular, it looks at how Chile can build a whole-of-government approach to embed digital approaches into everyday government operations. The study argues that for Chile to ensure the sustainability of its achievements to date it should work towards shared ownership of, and responsibility for, the digital government strategy throughout the public administration."--Back cover.

"Functional areas such as integrated local labour markets exist across countries' entire national territory. However, most OECD countries have focused their work on larger cities and their surrounding area of economic influence by establishing the concept of functional urban areas. Extending this concept to non-urban areas can help policy makers analyse subnational developments and design spatially better-targeted policies. The report Delineating Functional Areas for all Territories provides a comprehensive review of existing approaches to delineating functional areas across countries' entire national territory as a tool for territorial statistics and regional policy making. The report explains the rationale for functional territories as a complement to established administrative geographies. It discusses the most important challenges and the methodological aspects of delineating functional areas based on travel-to-work commuting flows or novel sources of data and develops a set of methodological guidelines that are applied in five OECD countries, demonstrating the feasibility of delineating functional areas across diverse types of country geographies in a consistent manner."--Page 4 of cover.

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.
