Governance and institutional development of the Chilean economy

JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT, Issue 8 2000
Eugenio Lahera
Chile's economic growth process during the 1990s is often considered as exemplary, therefore, it is worthwhile to examine its institutional development and governance. By the end of the decade there were signs that economic governance was weakening in Chile: the political economy of reforms looked increasingly difficult and the institutional flexibility to accommodate and support the changes required by a dynamic economy did not seem assured. This is the background against which the socialist Ricardo Lagos was sworn in as the new president of Chile in March 2000. Developments in Chile give insights to other countries' experiences.

The White House Office of Presidential Personnel

PRESIDENTIAL STUDIES QUARTERLY, Issue 3 2001
BRADLEY H. PATTERSON
One of the greatest challenges of a new presidential administration is recruiting and bringing on board the political appointees who will help the new president lead the executive branch. The people who carry out this task for the president work in the Office of Presidential Personnel (OPP). This article presents an overview of the OPP and how it functions during the transition and early months of a new administration. It first sets out the scope of the job by specifying the number and types of political appointments for which the OPP is responsible. Next, an account of how the office has developed will be presented along with the predictable challenges from pressures for appointments from the Hill, the campaign, and cabinet secretaries. Finally, obligations of the OPP after initial recruitment has been accomplished will be examined. [source]

Getting Ready for Day One: Taking Advantage of the Opportunities and Minimizing the Hazards of a Presidential Transition

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION REVIEW, Issue 4 2008
Martha Joynt Kumar
Presidential transitions make a difference to the quality of the start a chief executive has coming into office. With formal presidential transitions a reality since 1952, we have sufficient experience to identify some of the elements of an effective transition. This article focuses on how a president-elect can minimize the hazards and take advantage of the opportunities transitions offer. Opportunities and hazards can be found in the actions and commitments candidates take during their presidential campaigns, the information they gather on past transitions and on the actions of the incumbent president, the coordination they do with those in the Washington community, and their capacity to identify and take advantage of the early goodwill that exists when a new president comes into office.
