 Challenge
& Response: Essays on Public Affairs & Transparency
"We hope that this volume will contribute to the quality of public
debate during the consideration of the Green Paper on the European
Transparency Initiative. Whatever the outcome of this Initiative,
the issue of Transparency will be with us as a recurring challenge.
The essays in this collection bring together a number of respected
professionals, observers and academics who offer a range of perspectives
on the way forward.
Not all of the book makes for happy reading for a function under pressure.
But as Arnold Toynbee points out such pressures can bring forth new
creativity and new opportunities."
From the Preface by Tom Spencer and Conor McGrath

 Public
Affairs and Power: Essays in a Time of Fear
On leaving the European Parliament in 1999, former MEP and founder
of the European Centre for Public Affairs, Tom Spencer, determined
that he should take the opportunity to write. The 15 essays contained
in this book are part of the result. They have been written on the
boundaries between academic consideration and practitioner reality,
and between public affairs and politics. If journalism is “the
first draft of history”, these essays live on the time boundary
between journalism and research; identifying trends, challenges and
questions facing the world of public affairs. As such, this inspiring
book is essential reading for all practitioners and students of public
affairs, as well as for policy-makers, business and the media.

 Everything
Flows: Essays on Public Affairs and Change
This book contains 29 contributions focusing on a range of areas which
are of practical interest to those who are providing public affairs
support in business, trade associations, consultancies, NGO's and
international organisations. They provide perspectives on recent developments
in either the EU or on the international scene. The contributions
are grouped around four sections: one focusing on the future of public
affairs in Europe; one focusing on the changes in the EU institutions;
one focusing on the challenges of EU enlargement and one on the transatlantic
agenda. The book concludes with a section providing perspective on
those issues which have come high on the political agenda in either
Europe or the US and are good to know for those active in public affairs.
