  abstract  = {Stefanie B{\"u}chner untersucht in ihrer qualitativ-explorativen Studie die Fallbearbeitung in drei Jugend{\"a}mtern. Sie zeigt, dass sich die Bearbeitung von F{\"a}llen nur unzureichend verstehen l{\"a}sst, wenn man Organisationen prim{\"a}r als Rahmen begreift oder auf ihre formale Logik reduziert. Vielmehr strukturieren Organisationen als soziale Systeme Fallbearbeitung modular. F{\"u}nf Module der Strukturierung stehen im Zentrum der Untersuchung: Wie werden F{\"a}lle arbeitsteilig bearbeitet und wie schl{\"a}gt sich Organisation in der Zusammenarbeit mit Klientinnen und Klienten nieder? Wie l{\"a}sst sich die unterschiedliche Relevanz von Standards beschreiben? Worin besteht die Herausforderung f{\"u}r Jugend{\"a}mter, Hilfe und Eingriff zu verantworten und was dokumentiert sich in Dokumentation? F{\"u}r die Beantwortung dieser Fragen pl{\"a}diert die Autorin f{\"u}r ein komplexes, allgemeines und spezifisches Verst{\"a}ndnis von Organisationen im Feld sozialer Hilfe.},

Im Ergebnis kann festgestellt werden, dass die Leistungs- und Handlungsf{\"a}higkeit kommunaler Verwaltungen durch Gebietsreformen {\"u}berwiegend positiv beeinflusst wird.

  abstract  = {Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether and how evolving ideas about management control (MC) emerge in research about public sector performance management (PSPM). Design/methodology/approach This is a literature review on PSPM research through using a set of key terms derived from a review of recent developments in MC. Findings MC research, originating in the management accounting discipline, is largely disconnected from PSPM research as part of public administration and public management disciplines. Overlaps between MC and PSPM research are visible in a cybernetic control approach, control variety and contingency-based reasoning. Both academic communities share an understanding of certain issues, although under diverging labels, especially enabling controls or, in a more general sense, usable performance controls, horizontal controls and control packaging. Specific MC concepts are valuable for future PSPM research, i.e. trust as a complement of performance-based controls in complex settings, and strategy as a variable in contingency-based studies. Research limitations/implications Breaking the boundaries between two currently remote research disciplines, on the one hand, might dismantle "would-be" innovations in one of these disciplines, and, on the other hand, may provide a fertile soil for mutual transfer of knowledge. A limitation of the authors' review of PSPM research is that it may insufficiently cover research published in the public sector accounting journals, which could be an outlet for MC-inspired PSPM research. Originality/value The paper unravels the "apparent" and "real" differences between MC and PSPM research, and, in doing so, takes the detected "real" differences as a starting point for discussing in what ways PSPM research can benefit from MC achievements.},

  abstract  = {The article analyses the type of bicameralism we find in Australia as a distinct executive-legislative system - a hybrid between parliamentary and presidential government - which we call 'semi-parliamentary government'. We argue that this hybrid presents an important and underappreciated alternative to pure parliamentary government as well as presidential forms of the power-separation, and that it can achieve a certain balance between competing models or visions of democracy. We specify theoretically how the semi-parliamentary separation of powers contributes to the balancing of democratic visions and propose a conceptual framework for comparing democratic visions. We use this framework to locate the Australian Commonwealth, all Australian states and 22 advanced democratic nation-states on a two-dimensional empirical map of democratic patterns for the period from 1995 to 2015.},

  abstract  = {The article responds to four commentaries on the concept of semi-parliamentary government and its application to Australian bicameralism. It highlights four main points: (1) Our preferred typology is not more 'normative' than existing approaches, but applies the criterion of 'direct election' equally to executive and legislature; (2) While the evolution of semi-parliamentary government had contingent elements, it plausibly also reflects the 'equilibrium' nature of certain institutional configurations; (3) The idea that a pure parliamentary system with pure proportional representation has absolute normative priority over 'instrumentalist' concerns about cabinet stability, identifiability and responsibility is questionable; and (4) The reforms we discuss may be unlikely to occur in Australia, but deserve consideration by scholars and institutional reformers in other democratic systems.},
