In this book the authors tackle the concept of 'quality of government' (QoG) both conceptually and empirically and apply their focus to EU countries and regions. In a pioneering empirical effort, they map out regional QoG for the first time for 172 NUTS 1 and 2 regions throughout 18 countries in the EU, and provide a detailed methodology. They follow up the quantitative assessment with three case studies demonstrating the wide variation of QoG found within the countries of Italy, Belgium and Romania. The book concludes with important lessons and ideas for future research.Quality of Government and Corruption from a European Perspective will offer a unique insight to an important issue of development within the EU that speaks to students and academics in the field of comparative politics, EU politics, development, governance and corruption.With contributions from: Lewis Dijkstra, Jonas Håkansson and Oana Borcan

Why are some countries less corrupt and better governed than others? Challenging conventional explanations on the remarkable differences in quality of government worldwide, this book argues that the organization of bureaucracy is an often overlooked but critical factor. Countries where merit-recruited employees occupy public bureaucracies perform better than those where public employees owe their post to political connections. The book provides a coherent theory of why, and ample evidence showing that meritocratic bureaucracies are conducive to lower levels of corruption, higher government effectiveness, and more flexibility to adopt modernizing reforms. Data comes from both a novel dataset on the bureaucratic structures of over 100 countries as well as from narratives of particular countries, with a special focus on the relationship between politicians and bureaucrats in Spain and Sweden. A notable contribution to the literature in comparative politics and public policy on good governance, and to corruption studies more widely.

Que estarias dispuesto a sacrificar para construir un mundo mejor? Que precio estarias dispuesto a pagar?En 1996, Martin, Miriam y Pablo, tres adolescentes de Chalamera, un pueblo junto al desierto de los Monegros, descubren un misterio oculto entre las ruinas de un castillo templario. Pero lo que comienza como un juego pronto los enfrenta a fuerzas oscuras que protegeran a toda costa un objeto milenario: el Santo Grial. En 2025, Martin despierta de un coma en Gotemburgo, donde investiga sobre ciber-democracia. Y recuerda que, hace un ano, recibio una propuesta de Emma, una empresaria tan fascinante como peligrosa. Lo que parece una oportunidad para cambiar la humanidad se convierte en una carrera contra el tiempo que lo llevara de Barcelona a Oxford pasando por Bogota. En 2086, la Republica de Occidente vive bajo la guia de FRIDA, una inteligencia artificial que garantiza la libertad absoluta de todas las personas. Pero Anna descubre en una biblioteca olvidada un secreto que podria derrumbar este mundo perfecto. Tres epocas. Tres vidas conectadas por un enigma que podria salvar el mundo... o destruirlo.
