Final Report BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA: POLITICAL PARTY and PARLIAMENTARY DEVELOPMENT USAID Associate Cooperative Agreement No. 168-A-0
Final Report BOSNIA-HERCEGOVINA: POLITICAL PARTY AND PARLIAMENTARY DEVELOPMENT USAID Associate Cooperative Agreement No. 168-A-00-01-00107-00 June 1, 2001 to March 31, 20041 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From 2001 to 2004, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI or the Institute) conducted a program to facilitate the long-term development of democratic institutions in Bosnia-Hercegovina (BiH). This program built upon the Institute’s previous programs, which, from 1996 through 2000, focused on developing the basic skills and organizational capacities of nascent moderate political parties and civic groups and, from 2000 to early 2001, on assisting the Federation parliament in developing legislative processes and moderate parties with continued capacity-building, such as branch formation and membership development. During the period of this agreement, NDI designed and conducted a program to facilitate the long-term development and election-readiness of political parties and to assist in the development of professional and transparent legislative bodies. The program reflected the changing nature of the political environment in BiH, from politics controlled solely by nationalist political parties and interests, to more moderate, pro-Dayton, coalition-based governments. Throughout, NDI’s role changed from acting as a primary skills-building source to working in partnership with BiH institutions and political parties to assist them in strengthening the country’s development of democracy. NDI’s program had the following objectives: · Parties enhance organizational and operational capacity and democratize internal structures as part of election campaigning. · Political parties engage in comprehensive election preparation in order to develop policy platforms and campaign messages and strategy that address voter interests. -

Risky Business: Policy Uncertainty, Institutional Insularity, and Learning in Canadian Provincial Energy Policy Making 2006-2016
Risky Business: policy uncertainty, institutional insularity, and learning in Canadian provincial energy policy making 2006-2016. Heather Millar [email protected] Department of Political Science University of Toronto 100 St. George Street Toronto, ON, M5S 3G3 Prepared for the International Workshop on Public Policy University of Pittsburgh June 26th – 28th, 2018 Draft Working Paper: comments are welcome, please do not cite without author's permission. Abstract Policy learning scholarship has moved beyond describing typologies of learning to examine the dynamics of policy learning at micro, meso, and macro levels. Scholars have begun to theorize individual processes of cognition (Moyson 2016), linkages between individual and collective process of learning (Heikkila and Gerlak 2013), and organizational capacities necessary for policy change (Borrás 2011). Despite these advances, recent reviews have identified the need to specify necessary conditions of learning, particularly as to the role of knowledge claims and institutional structures in learning processes. This paper builds on Dunlop and Radaelli’s (2013) causal typology of modes of learning to operationalize measures for problem tractability and actor certification. The paper contends that problem tractability can be analyzed by measuring policy complexity and ambiguity, generating a typology of risk narratives that align with different modes of learning. To measure actor certification, the paper uses institutional insularity, suggesting that closed networks are more likely to support hierarchical and epistemic learning, while open structures facilitate more plural modes of bargaining and reflexive learning. Drawing on cases of hydraulic fracturing regulation in three Canadian provinces (2006-2016), the paper demonstrates that changes to institutional structures and/or risk narratives transforms dominant learning modes in each jurisdiction, resulting in changes to regulatory structures. -

TROUT POINT LODGE, LIMITED, a Nova Scotia Limited Company; VAUGHN PERRET and CHARLES LEARY, Plaintiff, Civil Action No.: 1:12-CV-90LG-JMR V
Case 1:12-cv-00090-LG-JMR Document 27 Filed 08/06/12 Page 1 of 10 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN DIVISION TROUT POINT LODGE, LIMITED, A Nova Scotia Limited Company; VAUGHN PERRET and CHARLES LEARY, Plaintiff, Civil Action No.: 1:12-CV-90LG-JMR v. DOUG K. HANDSHOE, Defendant. * * * * * * * * * * * * * SUPPLEMENTAL REPLY MEMORANDUM OF DEFENDANT, DOUGLAS K. HANDSHOE MAY IT PLEASE THE COURT: This Supplemental Memorandum is submitted by defendant, Douglas K. Handshoe (“Handshoe”), in reply to the Memorandum in Opposition to Motion for Summary Judgment, which was filed by the plaintiffs, Trout Point, Vaughn Perret, and Charles Leary (collectively, “Trout Point”). As previously discussed in defendant’s Reply Memorandum, the parties agreed that this dispute would focus on pure questions of law, rather than specific facts, and would be resolved solely on motions for summary judgment. Still, as pointed out in defendant’s Reply Memorandum, plaintiffs have focused a great deal of their arguments on facts. Because of plaintiffs’ harping on the facts, defendant feels compelled to provide the court with factual points as well. Thus, this supplemental memorandum will focus on revealing the factual bases for defendant’s allegedly defamatory statements. Case 1:12-cv-00090-LG-JMR Document 27 Filed 08/06/12 Page 2 of 10 Plaintiffs repeatedly point to the assertion that in the Canadian adjudication, they proved that the statements made about them were false. Specifically, they state in their Response to Memorandum in Support of Motion for Summary Judgment that plaintiffs have clearly demonstrated that the statements were false and defamatory. -
