Описание: Quality and Qualities: Tensions in Education Reforms is a provocative call for understanding and further exploring the elusive concept of quality in education. Although education quality has acquired high priority in the past few decades, the multiplicity of conceptualizations of quality also reflects the concerns and foci of multiple stakeholders. Coming to an understanding of quality education involves careful analysis of the context from which any particular reform or program emerges and of the continuing struggle to define and achieve it. Two main questions persist: who benefits from particular policies focused on quality? And what are the potential tradeoffs between a focus on quality, equitable distribution of education, and inclusion of various traditional expectations?This book explores notions of quality as understood within various systems of national, formal, and nonformal education. Also it considers the tensions that arise with the introduction of new standardized notions of quality in relation to international measures and educational reforms in developing countries. In all cases, specific national issues and concerns compete with global agendas. Challenges to quality that are given particular attention in the book chapters include changing definitions of quality, high expectations for education and issues with implementation, and the introduction of English as a means to achieve quality in a globalizing world. Special attention is also given to possible actions that support a more equitable education without ignoring the requisite of quality. The final chapter suggests three models/choices for seeking higher quality and guiding the educational future of nations.Cover image: View of Hong Kong by Ana Cristina (7 years old), Costa Rica, 2007.

Описание: Au XXe siecle, l’Europe centrale et orientale a ete l’epicentre de tensions internationales. Soumise aux ambitions de puissances totalitaires, elle a connu leur emprise ideologique. La diplomatie culturelle deployee par la France dans cet espace, de 1936 a 1940 puis dans les annees succedant a la Seconde Guerre mondiale, a eu une double dimension : strategique et ideologique. A partir d’archives et d’entretiens, ce livre en etudie les enjeux, les modalites, les adaptations renouvelees, les limites. Il observe les continuites et les evolutions entre les deux temps, et, sous l’angle culturel, apprehende la complexite d’une entree en guerre froide. Dans la fin des annees 1930, l’affirmation culturelle est ambitieuse, multiforme, face aux avancees de l’Allemagne nazie et de l’Italie fasciste ; elle connait des inflexions apres « Munich », en particulier une symbiose entre « culture » et « information ». Ulterieurement, alors que les Allies, vainqueurs, sont tres presents, il s’agit d’une reconstruction pour retrouver une position d’influence. La France de 1945, affaiblie, mobilise ses ressources ; elle affiche sa proximite avec les mutations en cours a l’Est. Rapidement, le contexte international, l’evolution des Etats sous tutelle sovietique, les choix de la France – interieurs et en politique etrangere – s’interposent dans la poursuite de l’action. Aux espoirs de concordances succede un realisme face a une « Normalisation ». Une diplomatie culturelle « en resistance » est confrontee a une elimination programmee par le Kominform et ses relais. L’eviction du Bloc de l’Est s’inscrit dans un processus qui atteint l’ensemble des puissances occidentales.

Описание:

In Union Voices, the result of a thirteen-year research project, three industrial relations scholars evaluate how labor unions fared in the political and institutional context created by Great Britain's New Labour government, which was in power from 1997 to 2010. Drawing on extensive empirical evidence, Melanie Simms, Jane Holgate, and Edmund Heery present a multilevel analysis of what organizing means in the UK, how it emerged, and what its impact has been.

Although the supportive legislation of the New Labour government led to considerable optimism in the late 1990s about the prospects for renewal, Simms, Holgate, and Heery argue that despite considerable evidence of investment, new practices, and innovation, UK unions have largely failed to see any significant change in their membership and influence. The authors argue that this is because of the wider context within which organizing activity takes place and also reflects the fundamental tensions within these initiatives. Even without evidence of any significant growth in labor influence across UK society more broadly, organizing campaigns have given many of the participants an opportunity to grow and flourish. The book presents their experiences and uses them to show how their personal commitment to organizing and trade unionism can sometimes be undermined by the tensions and tactics used during campaigns.

Описание: Since the late nineteenth century, fears that marriage is in crisis have reverberated around the world. This volume explores this phenomenon, asking why people of various races, classes, and nations frequently seem to be fretting about marriage. Each of the chapters analyzes a specific time and place during which proclamations of marriage crisis have dominated public discourse, whether in late imperial Russia, 1920s India, mid-century France, or present-day Iran. Collectively, the chapters reveal how diverse individuals have deployed the institution of marriage to talk not only about intimate relationships, but also to understand the nation, its problems, and various socioeconomic and political transformations.
