Álvarez and Antonio Durán Preface For hospital governance to be eff ective, it must incorporate two powerful and well-developed lines of health sector logic: on the one hand, national health policy and objectives; on the other, operational hospital management. One sphere is political, the other is technical. One is subjective and value based, the other is objective, with performance that can be measured both clinically and fi nancially. Th e challenge for hospital-level governance is to integrate these two disparate logics into a coherent and eff ective institutional-level strategy. Th is study explores key developments in public hospital governance in Europe. In doing so, it highlights the central role of hospital-level decision-making and how it is shaped by the various participants and stakeholders. In particular, it examines the degree to which granting an individual hospital the ability to make its own strategic, fi nancial and clinical decisions – to become semi-autonomous within the public sector – may improve institutional-level functioning and outcomes. In the initial chapters of this study, we draw on a substantial body of literature in a number of related health policy, public management and institutional governance arenas. How these diff erent concepts might apply to public hospitals is the subject of considerable discussion here. It is in the interface of these diff ering conceptual approaches, with the evidence and experience seen in the eight country cases, that we catch a glimpse of the future of public hospital governance in Europe. We hope that this study can serve as a solid conceptual and practical contribution to future quantitative as well as qualitative research on this important subject. Richard B. Saltman, Antonio Durán and Hans F.W. Dubois Acknowledgements Th e editors are grateful to the substantial number of individuals and institutions that helped to produce this volume in a relatively short period of time. First, we thank our country case study authors, who worked under tight deadlines and produced the empirical information upon which this volume is based. We also want to express our gratitude to Arturo Álvarez, who contributed substantially to the ideas on governance developed in Chapters 1 and 2. Additionally, we are grateful to the Andalusian School of Public Health in Granada, which hosted the author’s workshop, as well as to the Regional Government of Andalusia, which provided support for that meeting. Further, we would like to thank Josep Figueras of the European Observatory on Health Systems and Policies, Pascal Garel of the Hope Foundation and Hans Maarse (also one of our case study authors), all of whom read the fi rst draft of Part I and participated in a Brussels-based meeting that provided important comments and suggestions. A subsequent draft was further reviewed by Nigel Edwards, Hans Maarse and Pascal Garel. We also benefi ted greatly from testing Chapter 3 at a meeting of the European Health Policy Group in Paris, hosted by IRDES, and at which the comments by the discussant Nick Mays and by the participants helped us to shape our conceptual and practical approach. An early seminar at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) was essential in helping to develop our thinking, and Champa Heidbrink and LSE also graciously provided rooms for a series of editors’ meetings as the study took shape. While none of the above-mentioned parties are in any way responsible for how we used their wisdom and support, we are very grateful to them for their assistance in making this what we hope will be a useful contribution to the growing literature on hospital governance.

Design and setting: Prospective questionnaire-based study. Subjects and methods: The questionnaire was sent to specialist orthodontists who were members of the British Orthodontic Society. Results: Orthodontists reported high levels of career satisfaction (median score 90/100). Career satisfaction was significantly higher in those who exhibited: i) satisfaction with working hours ii) satisfaction with the level of control over their working day iii) ability to manage unexpected home events and iv) confidence in how readily they managed patient expectations. The work-life balance score was lower than the career satisfaction score but the median score was 75/100. Work-life balance scores were significantly affected by the same four factors, but additionally was higher in those who worked part time. Conclusions: Orthodontists in this study were highly satisfied with their career and the majority responded that they would choose orthodontics again.

  • Detachment Instead of Confrontation: Post-European Russia in Search of Self-Sufficiency
    Detachment Instead of Confrontation: Post-European Russia in Search of Self-Sufficiency Alexei Miller, Fyodor Lukyanov The report was written by Alexei Miller, Professor at European University in St. Petersburg and Central European University in Budapest; Fyodor lukyAnov, Editor-in-Chief of the Russia in Global Affairs magazine and a Research Professor at the National Research University-Higher School of Economics. Alexei Miller, Fyodor Lukyanov Along with all the complexes of a superior nation, Russia has the great inferiority complex of a small country. Joseph Brodsky Less Than One, 1976 “Our eagle, the heritage of Byzantium, is a two-headed one. Of course, eagles with one head are strong and powerful as well, but if you cut off the head of our eagle which is turned to the East, you will not turn him into a one-headed eagle, you will only make him bleed.” Russian Prime Minister Pyotr Stolypin, from the speech in the State Duma in support of the construction of the Amur Railway, 1908 This project originated in 2015 when intellectual interaction between Russia and the West was rapidly degrading to mutual accusations and verbal fights over “who is to blame” and “how much more Russia should suffer before it is ready to repent.” We sought to provide a forum for analysts and political practitioners from Russia, Europe, the United States, and China to con- duct a constructive dialogue and ultimately move from producing endless recriminations and claims to discussing the future of Russia’s role in international affairs. Naturally, this also meant discussing the future of the world as a whole.

  • Recognition of States in International Law
    THE YALE LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 53 JUNE, 1944 NUMBER 3 RECOGNITION OF STATES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW By H. LAUTERPACHT I I. INTRODUCTORY Principles of the Recognition of States. To recognize a community as a State is to declare that it fulfills the conditions of statehood as required by international law. If these conditions are present, existing States are under the duty to grant recognition. In the absence of an international organ competent to ascertain and authoritatively to declare the presence of requirements of full international personality, States already estab- lished fulfill that function in their capacity as organs of international law. In thus acting they administer the law of nations. This rule of law signifies that in granting or withholding recognition States do not claim and are not entitled to serve exclusively the interests of their national policy and convenience regardless of the principles of international law in the matter. Although recognition is thus declaratory of an existing fact, such declaration, made in the impartial fulfillment of a legal duty, is constitutive, as between the recognizing State and the new community, of international rights and duties associated with full statehood. Prior to recognition such rights and obligations exist only to the extent to which they have been expressly conceded or legitimately asserted by reference to compelling rules of humanity and justice, either by the existing mem- bers of international society or by the community claiming recognition., These principles are believed to have been accepted by the preponder- ant practice of States. They are also considered to represent rules of con- duct most consistent with the fundamental requirements of international law conceived as a system of law.
