"This paper suggests a new agenda for constructing early warning models (EWMs) to enhance their effectiveness in predicting financial crises. The central argument of the new agenda aims to eradicate the weaknesses of existing EWMs, since their failure to predict the global financial crisis of 2007–2008 demonstrates the need to improve their efficiency. We document the history of EWMs and propose a new agenda as follows: 1) the accurate measurement of a financial crisis, 2) implementation of a fourthgeneration crisis model to capture the dynamic nature of the financial crisis, and 3) the inclusion of interconnectedness/contagion variables as explanatory variables for the financial crisis."

"The six-party process aimed at North Korea's denuclearizatioon has been stalled since the six-party talks failed to agree on a verification protocol in early December 2008. North Korea now wants to be recognized as a nuclear state, and is unlikely to abandon its nuclear weapons without security guearantees provided by the United States. Some scholars argue that the six-party talks have outlived their usefulness. The author has argued over the years that the six-party process remains alive and usefull as the best means of resolving North Korea's nuclear issue to achieve denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula under the September 19 joint agreement, which is a prerequisite for building a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula and regional peace in Northeast Asia. The author discusses the current status of the talks, analyzing three key obstacles to the restoration of the six-party process. He makes policy recommendations for an early resumption of the long-stalled process"

"Annotation. New public management is a topical phrase to describe how management techniques from the private sector are now being applied to public services. This book provides a completely up-to-date overview of the main theoretical models of public sector management, and examines the key changes that have occurred as more and more public services are contracted out to private organisations, as the public sector itself grapples with 'internal markets'. Drawing on economics, organisational theory and poliltics, Jan-Erik Lane presents new public management from an analytical perspective. This book uses game theory and empirical studies in order to assess the pros and cons of new public management.ContentsIntroduction: the challenge of 2000Pt. I. Where we stand. 1.

"Public organizations are now requested to continually increase its service quality to be able to compete with the private sector which is continually expanding to respond to the environment changes. One of the new paradigm in the management of the public sector is known as the New Public Management (NPM) , in which, according to some research conducted by experts, the Traditional Model of public Administration is no more suitable to the present organizational needs. A lot of work has been done towards the NPM approach , and the one , especially discussed in this writing , is the adoption of the Performance Management System (PMS) as realized by the private sector. This is because the performance measurement at the traditional model does not include the periodical evaluation towards the program as well as the individual. This measurement is also more leaning towards the economic perspective (input oriented) in which the connection between input cost and the goal has not yet been seen. For this purpose, some countries have tried to implement the PMS with some different conclusion. This writing tried to insvestigate whether the the PMS is successful or has failed based on some literature research as conducted by some scholars in this field. On the other hand, problems which are related to the implementation of the PMS and its effect towards the public sector have also been evaluated. At the end of this writing some recommendations have been presented. It is certain that each organization has different characteristics which means that the implementation of the program should be adjusted to the uniqueness of the public sector organization."
