TL;DR: Tribe as discussed by the authors focused on the Constitution's provisions for government structure and on how constitutional structure helps guarantee protection of substantive rights and liberties, and provided a wealth of original, insightful, and influential analysis of constitutional law doctrine and policy.
Abstract: This textbook focuses on the Constitution's provisions for government structure and on how constitutional structure helps guarantee protection of substantive rights and liberties. It promises to be an indispensable resource for teachers, students, practicing lawyers and judges. This preeminent treatise provides a wealth of original, insightful, and influential analysis of constitutional law doctrine and policy.Professor Tribe's central concern is the Constitution itself, not the Supreme Court as an institution. While addressing relevant issues of institutional capacities and roles, he does not stop at discussing the Court as the right or wrong forum to review a particular issue and render judgment; the more crucial question is whether the judgment itself was right or wrong as an element in the living development of constitutional justice.

TL;DR: The tension between the pursuit of transparency and the avoidance of blame is at the heart of some commonly observed problems in public management, and suggests that something other than the "bureaucratic" strain of transparency may be called for when those problems are serious as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This article explores what happens when the much-discussed doctrine of transparency as a key to good governance meets the widely observed behavioural tendency of blame-avoidance in politics and public administration. It begins by discussing transparency as an idea and distinguishing different strains of the doctrine, proceeds to discuss blame-avoidance and to identify three common types of blame-avoidance strategy, and then explores what can happen when a widely advocated governance doctrine meets a commonly observed type of behaviour. The article identifies ways in which that conjunction can produce nil effects, side-effects and reverse-effects in the pursuit of transparency. It concludes that the tension between the pursuit of transparency and the avoidance of blame is at the heart of some commonly observed problems in public management, and suggests that something other than the ‘bureaucratic’ strain of transparency may be called for when those problems are serious.

MonographDOI
TL;DR: Kuran as discussed by the authors argues that the real purpose of Islamic economics has not been economic improvement but cultivation of a distinct Islamic identity to resist cultural globalization and that Islamic enterprises that form these sub-economies provide advancement opportunities to the disadvantaged by enhancing interpersonal trust, they also facilitate intragroup transactions.
Abstract: The doctrine of "Islamic economics" entered debates over the social role of Islam in the mid-twentieth century Since then it has pursued the goal of restructuring economies according to perceived Islamic teachings Beyond its most visible practical achievement--the establishment of Islamic banks meant to avoid interest--it has promoted Islamic norms of economic behavior and founded redistribution systems modeled after early Islamic fiscal practices In this bold and timely critique, Timur Kuran argues that the doctrine of Islamic economics is simplistic, incoherent, and largely irrelevant to present economic challenges Observing that few Muslims take it seriously, he also finds that its practical applications have had no discernible effects on efficiency, growth, or poverty reduction Why, then, has Islamic economics enjoyed any appeal at all? Kuran's answer is that the real purpose of Islamic economics has not been economic improvement but cultivation of a distinct Islamic identity to resist cultural globalization The Islamic subeconomies that have sprung up across the Islamic world are commonly viewed as manifestations of Islamic economics In reality, Kuran demonstrates, they emerged to meet the economic aspirations of socially marginalized groups The Islamic enterprises that form these subeconomies provide advancement opportunities to the disadvantaged By enhancing interpersonal trust, they also facilitate intragroup transactions These findings raise the question of whether there exist links between Islam and economic performance Exploring these links in relation to the long-unsettled question of why the Islamic world became underdeveloped, Kuran identifies several pertinent social mechanisms, some beneficial to economic development, others harmful
