TL;DR: It has been said about the United States that it is now suffering ‘a crisis of regime’ as discussed by the authors and Europe, we have been told, is in little better condition: ‘all over Europe the First World War broke up the structure of society which, before 1914, had provided the necessary basis of confidence between government and governed.
Abstract: It has been said about the United States that it is now suffering ‘a crisis of regime’. Europe, we have been told, is in little better condition: ‘all over Europe the First World War broke up the structure of society which, before 1914, had provided the necessary basis of confidence between government and governed. There no longer exists, except in a few places such as Switzerland, that general acceptance of the conduct of national affairs that adds to the vigor of government and society alike.’1 These are the kinds of practical political problems to which the concept of political support, as found in systems analysis, has been directed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that war makes states, and discuss that mercantile capitalism and state-making reinforced each other in European experience and offer tentative arguments concerning principles of change and variation underlying experience War making, extraction and capital accumulation interacted to shape European state making.
Abstract: This chapter claims war makes states, and discusses that mercantile capitalism and state making reinforced each other The reflections that follow merely illustrate analogy of war making and state making with organized crime from few hundred years of European experience and offer tentative arguments concerning principles of change and variation underlying experience War making, extraction, and capital accumulation interacted to shape European state making Apologists for particular governments and for government in general commonly argue, precisely, that they offer protection from local and external violence Government's provision of protection, by this standard, often qualifies as racketeering European states built up their military apparatuses through sustained struggles with their subject populations and by means of selective extension of protection to different classes within those populations The agreements on protection constrained the rulers themselves, making them vulnerable to courts, to assemblies, to withdrawals of credit, services, and expertise

TL;DR: In this article, the authors depict the course of the same name delivered by Michel Foucault at the College de France (1977-1978), where the author has developed the genealogy of a political knowledge centered on the mechanisms that enable to control people.
Abstract: The work depicts the course of the same name delivered by Michel Foucault at the College de France (1977-1978), where the author has developed the genealogy of a political knowledge centered on the mechanisms that enable to control people. "The government of the self and others" are questioned along a historical course that resulted in a "reason of State", whose rationality entailed in the construction of sets of knowledge and technologies of power, necessary for the growth of State forces. In explaining the problems that the Polizeiwissenschaft should control, he defined the role of the police as a guarantor of internal order and as a technique for controlling people, invested with specific knowledge, and which constitutes, along with the security and the political economy, what Foucault called biopolitics.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the rhetoric and reality of e-government at the municipal level and concluded that e-Government has been adopted by many municipal governments, but it is still at an early stage and has not obtained many of expected outcomes (cost savings, downsizing, etc.) that the rhetoric of eGovernment has promised.
Abstract: Information technology has become one of the core elements of managerial reform, and electronic government (e-government) may figure prominently in future governance. This study is designed to examine the rhetoric and reality of e-government at the municipal level. Using data obtained from the 2000 E-government Survey conducted by International City/County Management Association and Public Technologies Inc., the article examines the current state of municipal e-government implementation and assesses its perceptual effectiveness. This study also explores two institutional factors (size and type of government) that contribute to the adoption of e-government among municipalities. Overall, this study concludes that e-government has been adopted by many municipal governments, but it is still at an early stage and has not obtained many of expected outcomes (cost savings, downsizing, etc.) that the rhetoric of e-government has promised. The study suggests there are some widely shared barriers (lack of financial, technical, and personnel capacities) and legal issues (such as privacy) to the progress of municipal e-government. This study also indicates that city size and manager-council government are positively associated with the adoption of a municipal Web site as well as the longevity of the Web site.
