The study is a systematic literature review that assembles scientific knowledge in local government transparency in the twenty-first Century. The study finds a remarkable growth in research on local government transparency in the first nineteen years, particularly in Europe and North America. Social, economic, political and institutional factors are found to account for this trend. In vogue among local governments is the use of information technology to enhance transparency. The pressure to become transparent largely comes from the passage of Freedom of Information Laws and open data initiatives of governments.

Twenty First Century

The twenty-first century will present challenges to law enforcement that will make the past years' look tame. Society will become increasingly multi-cultural and multilingual; we are far more heterogeneous than ever before. During the recent decades, we have experienced population growth, racial diversity, and increased ethnicity in our society. Twenty-first century law enforcement must be prepared to deal with the diversities and complexness of our ever changing society. Qualified law enforcement personnel with adequate educational backgrounds and sufficient training is a necessity to meet the challenges they will face each day. This National Study will provide some ideas on law enforcement training and education in the United States and some insight of whether present standards will meet the twenty-first century needs.

Adult And Continuing

Beyond the dogged expectations that Sub-Saharan African universities' adult and continuing education needs to play a more visible key role in dealing with the challenges of HIV and AIDS, environmental pollution and excruciating poverty, the twenty-first century has brought in at its heels debates surrounding relevance in the era of an upsurge in the cultivation of the knowledge-based economies. As other professional areas of development are seemingly becoming more attractive to the main target populations for the study of and specialisations in adult and continuing education, the time is appropriate for us to explore how we may streamline our provision and make them more responsive to the challenges of our time, thereby moving out of the traditional existence on the periphery. This paper explores how Sub-Saharan universities' adult and continuing education departments could revamp their programmes such that they can adequately assist the region in creating learning societies required for entry into the knowledge-based economies of the twenty-first century.
