The English System of Costs: Life after the Jackson Reforms (April 2013)

Following Sir Rupert Jackson's report on the costs regime (Reforming Civil Litigation Funding and Costs in England and Wales-Implementation of Lord Justice Jackson's Recommendations: The Government Response (Cm 8041, 2011)), many procedural changes, notably affecting costs, were introduced on 1 April 2013. These include: introduction of qualified one way costs shifting, damages based agreements, increased damages and the changes to CPR Part 36 (costs implications of rejected settlement offers). The problems and uncertainties generated by this new set of costs rules will probably occupy the courts, notably the higher courts, for at least ten years.

Impediments to Tourism Investment in Australia: A Scoping Study

This article reports on a scoping study identifying the impediments to tourism investment in Australia. It focuses on regional perspectives to present an understanding of tourism investment in metropolitan, regional, and remote tourism destinations. Despite the 2009 Jackson Report outlining several supply-side inhibitors to tourism development in Australia, the key impediments for tourism investment are not well covered in the tourism literature and are rarely brought together in an integrated manner. To identify these investment impediments, a case study approach, employing semistructured interviews with tourism industry and government representatives in several metropolitan, regional, and remote locations throughout Australia, was conducted in early 2010. Low profitability and variable demand were frequently nominated as the most significant impediments to investment by the majority of the interviewees. However, each location has its own unique circumstances and impediments to investment, underpinned by the type of economic development of the region, local planning controls and regulations, as well as issues particular to tourism such as location and natural and/or cultural attractions. A number of recommendations are formulated based on the findings from the case studies that emphasize the identification, monitoring, and publicizing of facilitators of investment and strategies to overcome impediments.

Modelling of aid motivation using time series data: The case of Papua New Guinea

In 1984 the Jackson Report on Australia's overseas aid programme, in part, focused attention on objectives and priorities in the aid programme. There is a unique aid relationship between Australia and Papua New Guinea. This paper analyses what motivates Australia's provision of aid. The aid motivation literature addresses this issue by employing cross‐section data to all recipient countries, thus imposing uniformity on them. It is argued in this study that time series analysis is required to answer the question of aid motivation. The econometric results obtained by testing the recipient need and donor interest models provide support for both. Applications of non‐nested tests indicate acceptance of the recipient need model and rejection of the donor interest model.

Solutions to the Dilemmas and Concerns of Teaching International Students in Universities

[Extract] The decision by the Australian Department of Trade in 19853 to allow Australian tertiary institutions to offer places to Full Fee Paying (FFP) international students, following the release of the Goldring and Jackson Reports, resulted in large numbers of FFP students studying in Australian institutions. By 1991 such students had increased to 34,408. The nature of Australia’s objectives in its international education programs (discussed by Harris and Jarrett and others,) vary considerably. In general, for sponsored students there is an expressed policy that “education and training programme(s are) designed to assist recipient countries to develop the human resources needed for their economic and social advancement…(and which might draw on) areas where Australia can offer a high standard of relevant expertise.” Harris and Jarrett further discussed the focusing of this aid program by the International Development Program of Australian Universities and Colleges. On the other hand, for Full Fee Paying students, the Jackson Report recommended that “Education should be regarded as an export industry in which institutions are encouraged to compete for students and funds.” This more entrepreneurial approach to higher education, subsequently adopted by the Government, has since been applied to the export of education to overseas countries and now is the main aspect of the international education program.

The Political Economy of Foreign Aid: A Model of the Market for a Public Good

What determines the type and quantity of overseas aid given by individual donor countries? Answers to this question in the existing literature are polarized into two groups. One of them offers a theoretical treatment based on the theory of public goods which is not consistent with the available data, and the other offers empirical correlations without any explanatory theory. The first group-for example, Pincus and Olson and Zeckhauser-treats aid, like defense, as an "international public good." Small countries, on this approach, are free riders, spending relatively little themselves while deriving benefits from the expenditures of larger countries.' But this approach is not consistent with even a casual scrutiny of the OECD aid community in which, broadly speaking, the smallest countries are the most generous donors.2 The second group-for example, Hoadley and Beenstockdiscover correlations between a country's ratio of aid to GNP and certain independent variables which may be expected to influence it (e.g., that country's GNP, its dependence on foreign trade, its government's position in the ideological spectrum, and the state of the domestic economy).3 However, these findings are not fitted into any theoretical framework, so that it is difficult to work out what they really mean.4 The approach of this paper is to treat foreign aid as a public good for which there is a market, albeit a highly imperfect one because the consumers-donor country taxpayers-are ignorant about the very nature, let alone the price, of the commodity they are buying. On this view, factors on the demand side (i.e., taxpayers' response to their country's aid program) will help to determine the quantity of aid disbursed as well as factors on the supply side such as the donor government's desire to obtain strategic or trading benefits from aid. This view

The restructuring of the united nations economic and social system: Background and analysis

Restructuring, or the reform and rationalisation of United Nations (UN) structures in the economic and social sectors, has been a major issue before the UN for the past several years. Interest in restructuring, however, was evident even in the 1 960s when the Jackson Report and similar exercises were undertaken in an effort to bring about a more efficient alignment of UN structures involved in the promotion of economic and social development. ' Approximately 80 per cent of the budgets of the organisations in the UN system are today devoted to the promotion of economic and social development. The UN system has indeed become an important purveyor of resources on a global scale, yet the basic institutional design of the system is one that was forged in 1945 with somewhat different purposes in mind. The UN system has responded to the challenige of development by adding a plethora of new units and organisations to carry out responsibilities not adequately dealt with by existing ones. The growth and fragmentation of the system have created different types of problems. At a time when it is increasingly recognised that an integrated approach to development is essential, it is becoming more and more difficult to coordinate, in a mutually supporting and reinforcing fashion, the activities of various parts of the system. The proliferation of new bodies also led to fragmentation and the loss of coherence in the system as a whole. Indeed, there has been for some time a widespread belief that the system has become so unwieldy as to be incapable of responding to the wishes of the international community. Developed nations, including the socialist states, are for the most part interested in structural and institutional reform for they provide the largest portions of the budgets of the The 'Jackson Report', a study prepared by Sir Robert Jackson for the UN Development Programme, was completed in 1970. See A Study of the Capacity of the United Nations Development System, UN Publication, Sales No E.70.I. 1, 1970. For further background on the general problem see Martin Hill, The United Nations System: coordinating its economic and social work London: Cambridge University Press, 1978. This study was prepared under the auspices of UNITAR. This paper evolved out of research undertaken in connection with a UNITAR Seminar on The Restructuring of the United Nations System: implications for the creation of a New International Economic Order, held at Schloss Hernstein, Austria in 1978. We are grateful to theseminar participants for allowing us to draw upon the ideas put forward in the discussions. We also appreciate the useful comments offered by other international officials and diplomats. However, we assume responsibilityfor the views and opinions expressed in the paper which are personal

Imperialism In Planning: A Comment on the Review Article by R.G. Gregory on the Manufacturing Industry Green Paper (The Jackson Report)

According to Gregory (1976) in his review of the Manufacturing Industry Green Paper, the Jackson Committee mis-construed its terms of reference and gave undue weight to human and social matters that should have been left to a separate enquiry. Gregory failed to realize that the enquiry was supposed to be into matters that could not possibly be encompassed by any amount of sophisticated analysis of exchange values. More generally, Gregory's approach is irreconcilable with social planning, which must start and finish with matters of substance.

The Capacity of the United Nations Development Program: The Jackson Report

Partly by design, partly by coincidence the twelve months from September 1969 to September 1970 saw an “explosion” of reports about development problems. This article is particularly concerned with one of these, Sir Robert Jackson's A Study of the Capacity of the United Nations Development System. While the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) covers only a minor percentage of total assistance extended to less developed countries, its significance reaches beyond its quantitative development impact It has become the single most important United Nations cooperative effort and, more generally, represents an unprecedented example of intergovernmental and interorganizational cooperation.
