Public Administration and Development

The world's attention has focused on Zimbabwe as the country has moved from the turmoil of the 2008 elections to a tentative democratic transition under the current Inclusive Government. The country's newly elected local authorities and an apparent interest in decentralization have been largely ignored in the process, however. This essay thus provides an extensive, surveybased examination of local governance in Zimbabwe as of 2009. Four areas are discussed. First, with the growth of the political opposition to the ruling regime, local governance has also suffered from the deep polarization among all the country's institutions. The inexperience of the new local councilors vis-à-vis local administration officials also holds significant ramifications. Second, although local officials believe that public participation in decision-making is strong, citizen involvement is actually quite weak. Third, reeling from the country's 2008 economic crisis, local authorities were operating as best as they could on minimal income and barely functioning in many areas. Financial transfers ended long ago; revenue generation remains poor. Finally, this essay captures the poor state of public services. Achievement of a national democratic consensus, decentralization that actually promotes democratic local governance and strengthening once-strong local institutional capacity will determine the future progress of local governance.

Exhibition Grow. Der Baum in der Kunst (September 23, 2022 – January 8, 2023) in Vienna ́s Lower Belvedere is a spatially, production-wise, but especially intellectually ambitious project accompanied by a publication whose content goes beyond the traditional catalogue genre. The curator of the exhibition and co-editor of the book is Miroslav Haľák, who works at the Austrian Belvedere Museum. At the centre of the thematic exhibition is the tree as a cultural phenomenon or category, visual motif, sign, metaphor, and symbol. The selected curatorial approach is transhistorical and transdisciplinary: through 102 works by 76 artists, from the 15th century to the present day, the tree is understood and interpreted in a spectrum of media, contexts, and discourses. From a curatorial point of view, the project is thought out in detail, and represents a unique example of a spectacular exhibition that is ecological not only thematically and declaratively, but also realistically and from a production point of view. The accompanying materials were made from recycled materials, and the criterion for selecting the exhibited works was to avoid expensive transportation with a negative impact on the environment. When preparing the exhibition, Miroslav Haľák had the opportunity to draw on his long-term art-historical research into the phenomenon of anthropomorphism. In 2021, his publication Face of Nature (Theory of Anthropomorphism in Modern Art) was published by the Slovak publishing house Petrus. This complex curatorial project also contributed to the establishment of Slovak art in an international context. The exhibition presented the works by Robert Bielik, Daniel Fischer, Michal Kern, Marek Kvetan, Zuzana Mináčová, Marek Ormandík and Dorota Sadovská.

Pope Francis argues for a shift to a new economic model that is in the service of the human life and is "more attentive to ethical principles" (LS 189). He does not endorse a specific model except that he provides conditions, principles, and frameworks by which its ethos must be grounded against. As part of his pastoral approach and his vision of a synodal Church, he invites everyone to participate and contribute to this discussion because "not all discussions of doctrinal, moral or pastoral issues need to be settled by interventions of the magisterium" (AL 3). It is within this papal invitation of discoursing this new economic model where this paper aims to contribute particularly on the centrality of the anthropological criterion. The first section explores the meaning of his articulation on economics; situating it within the economic discourse of Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. The second section focuses on the anthropological criterion as problematized by the identification of the homo economicus as self-interested. The third section draws a theoretical framework from substantivist economics in forwarding the desired economic ethos while the fourth section provides praxeological inputs and argues that homo economicus can be prosocial when the culture that is embedded in a particular economic model is put together to nurture such ethos.

Come è nato il mondo? L’antichità si è interrogata sulle origini della terra, degli astri, delle specie viventi, convinta che dalla visione delle origini dipendesse anche il senso da dare alla presenza finita dell’uomo. La clamorosa e nota assenza a Roma di una cosmogonia non vuol dire che i Romani stessi o i loro dèì non dovessero rispondere a una o più leggi divine o al diritto posto dagli uomini. Dunque, come si articola, se si articola, un diritto divino a Roma? Come differisce e come si declina il rapporto tra uomini e dèi rispetto agli altri popoli antichi?
