“…P olicy reforms promoting local resource governance are not working out as envisioned. 19 Although people do engage in resource governance in creative ways, there are many failures along the road. The broad appeal of local resource governance may, in part, explain why it is so difficult to enact.…”

Resource governance in coastal Cambodia Governance SeriesGovernance is the process of effective coordination whereby an organization or a system guides itself when resources, power, and information are widely distributed. Studying governance means probing the pattern of rights and obligations that underpins organizations and social systems, understanding how they coordinate their parallel activities and maintain their coherence, exploring the sources of dysfunction, and suggesting ways to redesign organizations whose governance is in need of repair.The series welcomes a range of contributions-from conceptual and theoretical reflections, ethnographic and case studies, and proceedings of conferences and symposia, to works of a very practical nature-that deal with problems or issues on the governance front. The series publishes works both in French and in English.

This paper investigates the first ever statutory definition of merit in the 2003 Public Service Employment Act. The assertion of the paper is that although it has yet to materialize, the statutory definition has created an opportunity to water down the merit system and compromise the integrity of meritorious appointments. To provide background for the evaluation and contextualize the 2003 change, a brief history of the merit system as operationalized in Canada's Public Service and a discussion of competing conceptualizations of merit is included.

“…18 The mediators were not so sanguine about whether Carranza really wanted to participate, so they wrote back to him on June 2, asking if he was prepared to participate under the terms they had originally outlined, which entailed a commitment to an armistice, and, if so, 17 would he please nominate his representatives. 19 Carranza then waited until June 11 to write back, ignoring the mediators' conditions and naming three representatives to the conference. The mediators wrote back again on June 15, pointing out that he had not responded to their conditions.…”
