Introduction 1. As we approach the 60th anniversary of the OECD, the time is ripe to reflect on our past achievements and future directions. My 2020 Strategic Orientations – which build on previous annual editions, as well as my Guidance for the 2021-22 OECD Programme of Work and Budget (PWB) and the Ambassadors’ Informal Convergence Paper – are framed in this context. Balancing realism and ambition, they take into account both the challenges that we confront, and the opportunities that we must seize, to expand the OECD’s reach, relevance and impact. 2. In recent years, the OECD has changed and evolved, sharpening its strengths while remaining faithful to its raison d’être: better policies for better lives. We have become more dynamic and agile, equipping our Members and Partners with the data, evidence, policies and tools needed to build stronger, fairer, cleaner and more inclusive economies and societies. Our cross-cutting work on inclusive growth, productivity, well-being and sustainability has provided the building blocks for a strong, people-centred growth narrative that supports better policy design, development and delivery.

  • The Impact of One-Party Systems on Women's Political Participation In
    Peer Reviewed Title: Challenging Gendered Politics: The Impact of One-Party Systems on Women’s Political Participation in Legislatures Journal Issue: Global Societies Journal, 4 Author: Rezai, Ava, UC Santa Barbara Publication Date: 2016 Permalink: http://escholarship.org/uc/item/4028c5t9 Keywords: Women, Parliaments, Political Participation, Political Parties, Legislature, Representation, Gender Parity, Gender Quotas, One-Party State, One-Party Dominant System Local Identifier: gis_globalsocieties_31028 Abstract: In the early 1990s, while a global pivot towards democracy was slowly accepted into civil society, authoritarian regimes began losing legitimacy. Paradoxically, the spread of democracy was accompanied by the insurgence of patriarchal one-party autocracies. This phenomenon catalyzed my interest to research into gender parity and one-party rule, the differences between a one-party state and a one-party dominant system, and the overall implications of adding gender quotas in party and state politics. The paper focuses on the relationship between women’s political participation in legislatures and one-party systems in three countries: China, Turkey and South Africa. The aim of the research is to uncover the impact and trend of one-party rule on women representation in legislature. As a result, the research will clarify whether there are differences in political treatment of women in a one-party state in China and one-party dominant state like South Africa. Another layer of the research will illustrate the impact of women’s participation in legislature where a democratic state begins to show signs of one-party dominance like Turkey. I qualitatively and quantitatively depict how each unique system identifies women’s political participation and whether or not they use democratic tactics to increase the number of women in their legislature.

  • 5. the Responsibilities and Accountabilities of Deputy Ministers
    5 CHAPTER FIVE THE RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITIES OF DEPUTY MINISTERS This chapter examines the responsibilities and accountabilities of the most senior public servants, the Deputy Ministers. Deputy Ministers are the managers of the departments of government. Under their Ministers, they direct the administration of financial and human resources.They advise the Minister on policy issues and on reforms to administration.Together they form a community that must work as a team to coordinate and direct the work of government. Most policy initiatives cross-cut several departments and demand coordination of policy-making in several departments.Deputy Ministers have extensive management and other responsibilities. As the managers of departments, Deputy Ministers are responsible for the work and actions of the public servants under them. It is their job 83 84 RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY:RECOMMENDATIONS to ensure that departmental administration meets established standards. Not only their Ministers but Parliament as well must be assured that Deputy Ministers fulfill their responsibilities as departmental managers. The Statutory Responsibilities of Deputy Ministers The statutory responsibilities of Deputy Ministers originate from two different sources.First are their responsibilities under the Interpretation Act1 and other departmental acts which permit Deputy Ministers to act in the name of Ministers for all powers possessed by Ministers, except the power to make regulations. There is no question that, for the exercise of these powers, Deputy Ministers act under the authority delegated by their particular Minister, and they are ultimately accountable to those Ministers for the use of these powers. Ministers are,in turn,accountable to Parliament for what was done,whether the Minister or the Deputy Minister actually made the decision.
