This article compares some themes of change management theory against the practical experience of a large UK local authority as it attempts to move from `command and control' leadership to a more assertive, self-confident style of local government. This move is a response both to changing national legislation and local demand arising from a significant corruption scandal. The concept of `command and control' management is compared with that of self-confidence within the context of organizing for government, both central and local. The nature of self-confident government is then examined more closely in an attempt to answer some central questions — what is self-confidence, what sustains it and what benefits does it offer? These questions are then considered against the practical experience of a large metropolitan authority in England. The local pressures for organizational and cultural change, including those arising out of recent municipal corruption, are discussed along with the developing local responses. The article then considers the change issues that are arising for local service managers and the role of developing self-confidence in adapting and expanding their capabilities into the future. Some key learning points are identified.

THE UN HAS MADE LITTLE PROGRESS IN ARMS CONTROL PRIMARILY BECAUSE PROGRESS IN ARMS CONTROL IS DETERMINED BY NATIONAL RATHER THAN INTERNATIONAL INTERESTS. NATIONAL POLICIES ARE A FUNCTION OF THE INTERACTION OF SECTORS OF GOVERNMENT, AND THAT COUNTRY'S REACTIONS TO THE WORLD ENVIRONMENT. THE UN MECHANISMS COULD WORK IF DOMESTIC MECHANISMS FOR HARMONIZING ARMS CONTROL STRATEGIES AND NATIONAL SECURITY POLICIES COULD BE DEVELOPED. THE UN CAN STILL PERFORM THE IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF CODIFYING THE PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF ARMS CONTROL ALREADY ACCEPTED INTERNATIONALLY.

President Barack Obama survived a tenuous economy and a toxic political environment to win re-election in 2012, but the bitter partisan divide in Washington survived as well. So did the country's huge fiscal deficit. in this, the latest in a long line of Brookings Institution analyses of the defense budget, Michael O'Hanlon considers how best to balance national security and fiscal responsibility during a period of prolonged economic stress and political acrimony --even as the world remains unsettled, from Afghanistan to Iran to Syria to the western Pacific region. O'Hanlon explains why the large defense cuts that would result from prolonged sequestration or from deficit-reduction projects such as the Bowles-Simpson plan are too deep. But the bulk of his book represents an effort to look for greater savings than the Obama administration's 2012 proposals would allow

In the wake of apartheid, Law and Sacrifice draws on the uniquely expansive protection of fundamental rights now entrenched in the South African Constitution to outline a new theory of law.The South African Constitution not only protects the rights of people against abuses of power by the state, but also against abuses of power by private legal subjects. Drawing upon the work of contemporary thinkers such as Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, George Bataille, Jacques Derrida Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Luc Nancy, the author elicits the radical democratic potential of this 'horizontal' notion of ri
