Purpose: This paper looks at the security implication of China’s policy of unlimited presidential term on Africa, noting that “He that pays the piper determines it pace” as such; Africa being at the receiving end of Chinese aid, goods, services, military supplies and assistance and Chinese military presence in some African countries notwithstanding will continue to depend on the whims and caprices of China. Methodology: Using Marxist Economic Theory of Imperialism and Dependency theory, the paper argues that the policy will continue to take advantage of the systemic and structural imbalance of the African economic, political and strategic/military architecture. As such her dependent on China, which in the long-run engenders neo-colonial condition favourable to China’s strategic interest in Africa. Findings: The all-pervading Chinese presence in Africa visa-vise her policy of unlimited presidential term serves as instrument of imperialism to Africa, parasitically corroding strategic, national economic base and provokes acute neo-colonialism which at the stance of dependency state. Hence the dire need for a wakeup call to countries of African to develop and incorporate advance security measures to avoid the risk of continual domination of Africa strategic and economic relation by China, which has continued to engenders communal crisis and inter-tribal wars orchestrated by her regular arms sale to African countries, as one will agree that term limit in governance is one of the few checks on the ruler embedded in the state constitution that can quickly bring about a change in government policy and philosophy. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This paper recommends among others, that African countries should carry their destiny in their own hands instead of succumbing to the prevailing China’s national interest (aid) driven interventions which is currently re-championed in her current unlimited presidential term.

Purpose: Local Government Authorities are constantly implementing activities directed from central government by means of decentralization to enhance governance in resource allocation and service deliverance. This has made councils to engage in SMPs in order to continue and achieve their targeted goals. This study aims to explore Strategic Management Practices adopted by Local Government Authorities in Tanzania. Methodology: The study adopted diagnostic survey design by taking into account all steps involved in survey studies to obtain important data concerning Strategic Management Practices adopted in Local Government Authorities. Both simple and purposive sampling were employed to determine the study sample of 351 staff council who participated in implementation of Strategic Management Practices. Questionnaire, interviews and Focus Group Discussions were used to collect the information from the respondents. Descriptive analysis was used to compute frequencies and percentage, while content analysis was used to analyze the main themes from key informants. The study selected Mufindi District Council as a case study to explore the Strategic Management Practices adopted. Findings: Finding of the study found councils undertaking situational analysis, formulation of strategic plan and performance review. Furthermore, finding revealed that councils are equipped with different strategic models in developing strategic plan particularly SWOT analysis and balanced scorecard. It was further found that management, institutional and resource factors have significantly influenced the councils’ decision to adopt SMPs through strategic models. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends that successfully strategy implementation can be achieved when councils allocates all required resources with effective monitoring of the activities.

Abstract Using the example of the Slovak Republic as a post-communist country and its city of Banská Bystrica, this article deals with the dilapidated municipal cultural property which was transferred from the state to the municipalities after the fall of communism in 1989. The long period of disorganization and public administration reforms has left many municipalities with abandoned infrastructures that have not found a new role in the globalized economy. Non-profits often substitute the public sector, especially in the provision of public services where the public sector has a lack of financial and/or organizational capacities and no or very little experience to tackle a specific issue, e.g., handling the abandoned cultural objects that were left to rot. The aim of the article is to investigate the regeneration of the unused property initiated by NPOs. We use retrograde analysis to investigate the impact of social innovation on unused properties. We examine the historical trajectory of individual cases and show what results have been achieved by social innovations. Using multi-case studies and interviews with stakeholders of the non-profits involved, the role of non-profits in the restoration of dilapidated cultural property and its return to use by citizens is examined and conclusions are drawn: non-profits bring social innovations in improving the urban design by saving dilapidated historical and cultural objects.

Abstract The author of the study presents a new approach to the study of dynamic changes in society. He calls it the historical-evolutionist and retrograde approach. The historical-evolutionist approach is based on the existence of the ontology of the problem. It is based on the reality of evolution. This approach makes it possible to reveal on the historical-evolutionary trajectory the key events (factors) that influenced the historical development and to retrospectively identify their historical significance. On the historical-evolutionary trajectory, we can retrogradely trace various events such as: a node on the trajectory, and a breaking point on an evolutionary trajectory, evolution path branching. disruption, dead end, evolutionary island, embedded history, as well as a form of retrograde revealed possible worlds. These concepts are then demonstrated on the example of the history of public administration in the Czech Republic.

Abstract Literature review implies that despite the Great Recession of 2008 the economic policy paradigm continues to prevail in assessing and measuring the well-being in the EU countries. This means that the institutional goals and the follow-up policies also tend to favor economic over non-economic objectives. This paper examines to what extent the Great Recession has increased or decreased the influence of economic factors on subjective well-being and the implications for policy-making. Regression analysis of subjective well-being data from 2006, 2011, and 2016 from 16 countries from the European Union shows that the influence of economic factors on subjective well-being is stronger than before the Great Recession in the majority of the analyzed countries. It has also revealed that satisfaction with one’s standard of living is a much stronger predictor of subjective well-being than the overall economic situation.

Abstract This paper on the case of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic examines the effect of information nudging on changing the behavior of medicine users with unused medicines. We introduce a new concept of nudge into the theory as an explanatory tool used in the form of subsumption. In our explanatory model, explanans represents the initial conditions of research (C). The explanatory theory of ET is nudge theory. Explanandum E is the explained phenomena. The initial conditions consist of two classes of conditions - namely, C0 and C1. The C0 conditions are those conditions that characterize the state where drug users (respondents) act without the information provided by us. C1 conditions are those states where we provide boring information to the medicine users in the form of a leaflet on how to dispose of unused medicines. We examine how the conditions change the behavior of users (respondents) based on the change in the behavior of users (respondents). Empirical analysis shows that nudging in the form of additional information has a positive effect on behavior. Respondents who received additional information in the information campaign about the proper handling of medicines showed a 23.4% increase in the declared return of unused medicines (condition Cl) compared to condition C0 when no nudging was done. We find that respondents who check the expiry date are more likely to hand in medicines at the pharmacy. The more information people have about how to manage unused and expired medicines, the more medicines are returned to the pharmacy. Similarly, people who have enough information return unused and expired medicines to the pharmacy. Therefore, nudging in the form of additional information can be seen as an appropriate public policy tool to increase the effective management of unused medicines.
