A Compilation Of Shorts

Born on the lower east side of Manhattan during the depression era. I was molested as a child and suffered severe near-sightedness, which caused me to become extremely shy and introverted. At the same time I was transformed into another person when telling stories to my siblings and people in the neighborhood. Presently I reside in West Hollywood, California and attend classes at the Emeritus College. My interests are Drama, writing short stories and poetry, art and Tai Chi. I taught Drama and Tai Chi at the Van Nuys Senior Center. I have been involved in Stage, Screen, Television and Radio. I am a member of Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Radio and T.V. Artists. My life story has recently been published, "Escape/Pearls of Travail" which will soon appear on the Internet and book stores.

There has been a profound change within the sphere of government and societal regulation in recent years. Traditional hierarchical government has been challenged by new governance instruments relying on negotiations instead of command and control. Alongside this development there has been a change in the time-framing of politics and steering. Traditional politics implicitly has been based on stability and permanence while new forms of governance explicitly are based on just-in-time actions such as projects and issue-based collaborations in networks and programs. This book analyses the implications of this shortening of time frames, focusing particularly on spatial policy interventions. Spatial policies have a special relevance when it comes to governance and new forms of societal steering. On the one hand, the local (geographical) level in politics is the principal battleground for the struggle between top down and bottom up approaches and aspirations. On the other hand, many of the most burning issues of our time require a global, strategic approach, for example, climate change, resource depletion, population growth are anchored in space and the physical world. Whether and how short-term spatial approaches can achieve sustainable development outcomes is thus a critical question, and forms the focus of this volume. The book examines the characteristics of temporary policy measures across a range of rural, urban and regional contexts, in four continents: Europe, North America, Oceania and Africa. The outcomes and effects of these policies and interventions are analysed, particularly focusing on the tension between short-term interventions and long-term effects.
