Organisational Transformation and Scientific Change
The first part of this book deals with the transformation of universities as strategic organisational actors - in some cases creating them as such - while the second shows how governance and authority shifts are affecting the kinds of research goals being pursued by academics in different public science systems.
Handbook on Science and Public Policy
This Handbook assembles state-of-the-art insights into the co-evolutionary and precarious relations between science and public policy. Beyond this, it also offers a fresh outlook on emerging challenges for science (including technology and innovation) in changing societies, and related policy requirements, as well as the challenges for public policy in view of science-driven economic, societal, and cultural changes. In short, this book deals with science as a policy-triggered project as well as public policy as a science-driven venture.
Gender and Education for All
The World Education Forum of April 2000, set gender equality as one of its important goals. The target was to achieve parity in enrolment of girls and boys in primary education and secondary education by 2005 and full equality by 2015. This monitoring report shows that many countries will fail to make the 2005 target but circumstances could change quickly, with appropriate policy changes. However educational inequality is caused by deep-rooted social forces and a wide range of economic and social changes are needed.
Disciplines académiques en transformation
Que sont devenues les disciplines académiques à l’heure de la globalisation scientifique, de l’hyper-spécialisation des savoirs et de l’interdisciplinarité ? Comment des champs disciplinaires émergent-ils ou se reconfigurent-ils, à partir de quels acteurs, orientations, ressources, discours et référentiels et comment d’autres tendent-ils à s’affaiblir, voire peut-être à disparaître… ou à résister et à se développer ? Dans cet ouvrage, les disciplines sont abordées à la fois comme instances de savoir et comme des institutions de contrôle social et politique. Elles constituent des lieux de pouvoir et de reproduction du pouvoir qui se manifestent autant à travers...

Formation: l'autre miracle suisse
Si la Suisse a acquis une réputation mondiale en matière de savoir-faire horloger, pharmaceutique ou financier, il est un autre domaine dans lequel elle excelle : son système de formation, qui depuis l’apprentissage jusqu’à ses hautes écoles (HES, universités et écoles polytechniques) la place régulièrement en tête des enquêtes PISA parmi les pays européens, ainsi que des pays dont les institutions universitaires sont les plus attractives au monde. Comment cette machinerie complexe fonctionne-t-elle, comment s’organise-t-elle, qui sont les professeurs qui l’animent, que gagnent-ils, et comment sont-ils recrutés puis évalués? C’est à toutes ces questions et bien d’...
Der Aufstieg der Empirischen Bildungsforschung
Wie lässt sich die unwahrscheinliche Institutionalisierung der Empirischen Bildungsforschung in Deutschland erklären? Aus Perspektive einer institutionalistischen Wissenschaftssoziologie beleuchtet Enno Aljets die Interdependenzen zwischen Wissenschaft und Politik. Er analysiert, wie sich in den 1990er Jahren ein Tauschgeschäft etablieren konnte, bei dem die Wissenschaft hohe Autonomie und umfangreiche Forschungsressourcen erhielt und der Politik im Gegenzug anwendbares „Steuerungswissen“ für eine „evidenzbasierte Bildungspolitik“ in Aussicht gestellt wurde. In der Folge entwickelten sich vielfältige Strukturdynamiken, die der Autor hinsichtlich ihrer Wechselwirkungen in verschiedenen Akteurkonstellationen untersucht. Erst diese analytische Rekonstruktion im Zeitverlauf verdeutlicht, wie sehr der rasche Aufstieg auch von kontingenten Bedingungen und transintentionalen Effekten abhängt.
The Bologna Process in Central and Eastern Europe
The Bologna Process opened a new chapter in the history of the European higher education. The idea of a common European Higher Education Area was developed in Western Europe and accelerated increasingly there in the second half of the 20th century, as a phenomenon of globalization. For the post-communist states in Eastern Europe the complete change of the political system made it possible to join the European Union and the Bologna Process. These changes had an impact not only on the educational policies but also on the educational system and the educational culture as well. This book shows the changes in the higher education of ten countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The country studies are supplemented with an international and a historical comparative analysis, to point out the special features of the implementation of the Bologna aims in the region.
The Power of Collegiality
Nadja Bieletzki explores how university presidents lead universities. She provides insights into the upper echelons of higher education management and focuses especially on university presidents in Germany. Special attention is given to the career background of university presidents and the way they conduct reform projects. Based on the results from semi-structured expert interviews and their qualitative analysis, the author shows that university presidents do not use all their formal power although their position has been strengthened by law. This can be explained by the collegial characteristics of universities, which drive and restrict presidential actions Nadja Bieletzki was awarded the Ulrich Teichler Prize for Excellent Dissertations 2016.
Knowledge Production in European Universities
The book studies transformations of European universities in the context of globalization and Europeanization, the questioning of the foundations of the «Golden Age» of the Keynesian welfare state, public sector reforms, demographic changes, the massification and diversification of higher education, and the emergence of knowledge economies. Such phenomena as academic entrepreneurialism and diversified channels of knowledge exchange in European universities are linked to transformations of the state and changes in public sector services. The first, contextual part of the book studies the changing state/university relationships, and the second, empirically-informed part draws from several recent large-scale comparative European research projects.
