Publication: Routlege, Taylor & Francis Group

There is a rich body of literature on the functioning of the European Commission and the profile of its officials in the 1990s and early 2000s. Yet, the empirical evidence on the new generation Commission officials operating in the post-reform Commission bureaucracy is scarce. What kind of individuals end up working for the Commission? How do they think and behave on a daily basis? This article provides an insight into a crucial aspect of the everyday behaviour of Commission officials and whether national identity and categorizations play a role in the Commission. The analysis of the functions and meanings of nationality in a multinational context and the ways in which officials deal with nationality provides evidence of cosmopolitan dispositions and practices. In contrast to what has been previously argued in the literature, the empirical findings point to the effect of self-selection, selection and organizational socialization in establishing cosmopolitanism in the Commission.

Kosmopolitanisme di dalam Komisi Eropa 

Penelitian yang membahas tentang fungsi Komisi Eropa telah banyak dilakukan sejak era 1990an  namun belum banyak bukti empiris yang menjelaskan tentang operasi yang dilakukan oleh para pejabat baru Komisi Eropa pada tataran birokrasi pascareformasi. Orang-orang yang seperti apakah yang berkerja pada Komisi? Bagaimana pendapat dan perilaku mereka di dalam menjalankan kegiatan sehari-hari? Penelitian ini berusaha memperkenalkan pandangan tentang sebuah aspek penting dari perilaku sehari-hari para pejabat Komisi Eropa dan menggali informasi apakah identitas dan kategorisasi nasional berperan penting di dalam Komisi. Analisis tentang fungsi-fungsi dan makna kebangsaan di dalam konteks multinasional serta cara-cara yang ditempuh oleh para pejabat Komisi Eropa untuk merespon isu-isu kebangsaan memberikan bukti adanya disposisi dan praktek kosmopolitanisme. Bertolak belakang dengan yang telah diuraikan dan dikemukakan di dalam literatur-literatur terdahulu, temuan empiris mengarah pada pengaruh pilihan-diri, pilihan, dan sosialisasi organisasi di dalam menciptakan kosmopolitanisme pada tubuh organisasi Komisi Eropa.

A study of drinking water quality of PDAM

-
One of problems faced by community dealing with water services provided by the State-owned Water Company (PDAM) is inadequacy of the services in fulfilling household needs. Customers often complain because this limited volume of water they can use for daily activities, such the research found in a service quality analysis of drinking water provided by PDAM. The study on service quality may have its cornerstones on three main aspects: the quality, quantity, and continuity.  In case of drinking water quality at the observed location, one should relate it to the quality threshold under the Letter of Decree of the Minister of Health Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, Kepmenkes RI, No.907/MENKES/SK/VII 2002, which has been applicable since July 28, 2002. In addition, there is also another technique of analysis to measure the water quality level by examining water debit, water pressure, and flow continuity. However, to deal with PDAM’s vision and mission, service quality analysis is lik

Healthcare Waste in the United States Healthcare System

-
How America will pay for healthcare is a subject on the mind of virtually every American today. As Congress determines who will pick up the tab for this important and growing expense, it is worthwhile to take a close look at the cost of healthcare itself. Are there areas where expenses can be cut without undermining the quality of care provided? How prevalent are misuse, overuse, and fraud? This paper tackles the tangled issue of healthcare waste and arrives at some interesting, and perhaps even surprising, conclusions: America’s healthcare system is, indeed, hemorrhaging billions of dollars, and the opportunities to slow the fiscal bleeding are substantial. To organize the evidence supporting claims for the magnitude of waste in the healthcare system,we first suggest a set of categories of waste. For each category, there is a simple definition, a brief description of the examples, and references that allow us to make a reasonable assessment of total annual waste for each category. Ca

International Forestry LawReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) and decentralized forest management

-
Authors: Irawan, S.; Tacconi, L The implementation of a mechanism for Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD - plus) will be affected by governance conditions within host countries. The top eight countries, which are responsible for 70 percent of the world's total annual deforestation, have implemented certain forms of decentralization in public administration and forest management. This paper analyzes implications of decentralized forest management for the implementation of REDD. Three possible options for the involvement of local governments in the implementation of REDD are: 1) the central government decides on a national reference level and devolves the implementation to local governments; 2) the central government decides on a national reference level and seeks expressions of interest from local governments to implement REDD in their administrative areas; and 3) the central and local governments decide on a national reference level jointly and loc
