Reviving and revising a termination model

Article Abstract:

An examination of the National Hansens Disease Center policy according to de Leon's 1978 model of the termination process confirms patterns in public policy termination as well as the role of specific relationships and government officials in the process. Evidence indicates that factors affected by time and policy type interact in various ways. Once patterns are determined, the government may already hasten policy terminations by accepting legal costs, encouraging goals that would save the most defended part of the policy and by paying the cost of termination.

Sudan: a cause for concern

Article Abstract:

Sudan is in crisis as a fundamentalist Islamic regime deals with famine, civil war and deteriorating international relations. Since coming to power in 1989, Omar Hassam Al-Bashir has alienated Western powers by blaming Sudan's economic problems on them, and by courting Libya and Iraq as allies. His support of Iraq during the Gulf War also insulted several Arab nations. Domestically, Al-Bashir and the National Islamic Front constitute an Arab elite governing a predominantly African population.

Market ordering versus statutory control of termination decisions: a case for the inefficiency of just cause dismissal requirements

Article Abstract:

The at-will employment regime is more efficient than the requirement of dismissal for just cause. Structural defects of the labor market do not warrant abrogation of the at-will presumption. The free market offers more flexibility, whereas a relatively blunt legal rule for dismissal is unlikely to produce the best results. Where errors do occur, they are better left to correction by free market mechanisms, rather than incurring the costs associated with the just cause requirement.
