In this context, a comparative analysis is made on selected country samples. This concept, which has come to life within the framework of the New Public Management mentality, is increasingly accepted. Public-private partnership, which is one of the most obvious reflections of the change in public service understanding, provides many opportunities and facilities. This busines method makes it possible to realize large-scale projects. Public private partnership is first introduced conceptually in this study. Then the characteristics are described. Then, a comparative analysis is made on the samples of Russia, India, the United Kingdom and the Republic of South Africa. In the study, an original text was written in terms of both scope and framework and country examples. The study ends with a functional discussion on the subject

A methodological development approach with a positivist characteristic began to be questioned after the second half of the 20th century. The discipline of history also continued its development by gaining a scientific identity in these periods. At this point, there is a significant relationship between social science discipline and history discipline. First of all, it requires having a historical thinking dimension in order to produce information and to create a method. In fact, in order to be able to produce information on social sciences, first, historical viewpoint should be put forth. In this study, with the relationship to be established here it is aimed to establish a relationship among liberal democracy, the Annales-a technique of historiography-and the understanding of the restructuring of social sciences through the concept of ombudsman. It is thought that the concept of ombudsman is greatly connected with the historical, philosophical and social methods of thinking in question. In this study, basing upon the aforementioned relationship, it is suggested that ombudsman is one of paradigm shifts in social sciences field in the 20th century. Ombudsman is a postmodern auditing paradigm and finds its true identity in this era as well. The methodology of this study is a descriptive analysis which is based on literature review. The first section of the study explains the concept of ombudsman and historical process, the second section gives information on the Annales tradition and basic qualifications, and the third section analyzes the link between these two concepts, focusing on the restructuring of social sciences and ombudsman, the Annales, in order to put forward the relationship among the concepts and the discourses in question.

Therefore, not only governmental institutions but also non-governmental organizations should be held responsible for disaster management. Disaster management, requires the cooperation and solidarity of public administration, private sectors and non-profit organizations. In addition to public authorities, the participation of non-governmental organizations is also required in organizing disaster management. If these institutions cooperate, an effective disaster management system could be made possible. Furthermore, regarding disasters in the context of both institutional and individual contributors, such a system can minimize the effects of disasters before, during and after they occur. Therefore, the necessity of institutional cooperation and coordination requires a mixed structure. "Hybrid structures", as they are referred to in this approach, rely on the coordination and cooperation between public administration, private sector organizations, non-governmental organizations, as well as individual and group initiatives. The creation and management of this kind of structure requires a concept, which is entirely different from the monotonous and conventional policies, practices, and perceptions of the last two decades. With a multi-layered approach, it can be possible to implement a hybrid model. In this study, hybrid structures for disaster management will be discussed in the framework of a political and administrative multi-layered approach. The study has been performed by descriptive and analytical methods, and a synthesis is eventually reached.

This restructuring process brings very important changes to the functional, institutional, fiscal, and the manpower structures of local governments in Turkey. Therefore, the restructured local governments need to be re-evaluated within the context of the European Charter on Local Self-Government, one of the very important standards regarding the autonomy of local governments. Consequently, this article aims to re-evaluate restructured local governments in Turkey within the context of the Charter.

In this context, it firstly explains the concept of e-government briefly. Secondly, it summarizes the concept of local e-government and evaluates the potential of e-government to help local governments. This chapter examines the situation of e-government practices in local governments in Turkey. Finally, the chapter analyzes the e-government practices in respect of functionality of Web site services in metropolitan municipalities by using a comparative functionality analysis. According to this analysis, they are inadequate in the provision of Web site-based e-government services. Furthermore, the authors aim to present an original and functional method that will make it possible to comparatively analyze the Web site-based services offered by the metropolitan municipalities.
