Unsolved problems in governance
|
|
In civics, some unsolved problems for governance may be considered in several fields, for example in:
- Organizational behavior
- hidden agenda - the tendency for protagonists to keep their objectives secret
- high pressure selling - the tendency to over-estimate benefits and under-estimate costs
- strike action - the aggregation of a resource beyond the confines of the organisation
- narcissist management - self-interested management who forgo their fiduciary responsibilities
- conflicts of interest and Principal-agent problem - decision makers whose decisions would be different depending on which of their stakeholders they are attempting to serve, and also their own personal interest.
- collusion - separation of powers are circumvented through collaboration
- information inequity - not all information is communicated to all stakeholders, and if it is communicated it is not necessarily communicated at the same time
- confirmation bias
- Finance
- budget lapses - business units that spend less than they were budgeted will generally have their budget reduced for the next fiscal year. To avoid cuts in funding, it is common for a business unit with surplus cash to try to spend any extra money before the end of the fiscal year. As a result, money ends up being spent on items that are not a priority.
Anarchism says the cause of all or most of the mentioned problems is Governence.
- War is caused because a Governor or Governors give orders to a larger mass, which are to kill or strike, attack an enemy. Anarchists say the larger mass would not have attacked or started a war if they had not obeyed the Governor.
- Crime is caused by the Governors wishes to subjugate the criminals. Crime is caused also by other social problems which arise only when a larger mass obeys a Governor, which like any human can do or decide wrong, but when a Governor decides wrong, it causes everyone to suffer and some people to commit crimes (do against the wishes of the Governor).
