The paper agrees with Ronald Inglehart that 'culture' is now playing a more dominant role in the social formation of current societies, as 'technology' once did in the modern era. But it goes one step further by arguing that culture cannot be approached as a holistic concept building on a comprehensive theoretical framework.}, language = {en} } @misc{Nateghpour2004, author = {Nateghpour, Mohamad Javad}, title = {Islamic councils and social democracy in Iran}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-47145}, year = {2004}, abstract = {For the first time when the new Islamic councils began their Operation, many intellectuals and politicians proclaimed that there would be no room for the young Islamic councils to proceed.

Still others believed that under the dominating ruling system of Iran there is no space for public opinion and participation in local decision-making. This paper focuses on the role of the Islamic Councils as a new form of social democracy, which decentralizes power and creates good local governance.

It is therefore of outmost importance that the new Central and East European members have the capacity to administer the acquis communitaire once they are full members of the EU. Based on a survey among current and former top-level decision-makers (ministers), this article argues that although there are significant implementation problems, efficiency gains can be made through administrative reform and not the least education aimed at changing the worldview and knowledge of the individual civil servant. However, there seem to be significant differences in how these countries tackle implementation problems and administrative reform.}, language = {en} }
