Kariery akademickie kobiet i mężczyzn
Renata SIEMIEŃSKA redakcja naukowa Autorki prezentowanych w książce tekstów pokazują wybrane problemy nierówności i dyskryminacji ze względu na płeć w polskim szkolnictwie wyższym na tle globalnym. W ciekawy sposób analizują m.in.: niski udział kobiet w naukach technicznych i inżynieryjnych w krajach europejskich, mechanizmy marginalizujące kobiety w zawodzie chirurga, niewielki udział kobiet w kadrze uczelni plastycznych, a także przebieg studiów doktoranckich oraz dostęp do grantów badawczych przyznawanych kobietom i mężczyznom przez polskie instytucje. Omawiane aspekty przedstawiają też w perspektywie historycznej oraz dociekają przyczyn zastanego stanu rzeczy. Przytoczone w książce dane dotyczące sytuacji kobiet w świecie akademickim świadczą o zadziwiającym wręcz utrzymywaniu się od lat pewnych prawidłowości, takich jak wolniejsze kariery mimo relatywnie długiego stażu pracy naukowej czy też nikła obecność na wyższych pozycjach w hierarchii akademickiej. W tomie publikują: Anna Domaradzka, Anna Gromada, Liisa Husu, Juta Kawalerowicz, Paula Koskinen, Anna Małkowska, Ilona Matysiak, Renata Siemieńska.

City Unsilenced
What do the recent urban resistance tactics around the world have in common? What are the roles of public space in these movements? What are the implications of urban resistance for the remaking of public space in the "age of shrinking democracy"? To what extent do these resistances move from anti- to alter-politics? City Unsilenced brings together a cross-disciplinary group of scholars and scholar-activists to examine the spaces, conditions, and processes in which neoliberal practices have profoundly impacted the everyday social, economic, and political life of citizens and communities around the globe. They explore the commonalities and specificities of urban resistance movements that resp...
Organizational Learning. A Framework for Public Administration
In order to face the challenge of effective organizational learning in our public policies, we need to address three pressing questions: 1. How does learning work in our public organizations? 2. What promising practices can we implement to advance learning in public organizations? 3. What changes in public management are required to combine learning with the growing demands of performance and accountability? This book is an attempt to address those questions in a systematic and empirical manner. The answers presented in this volume are the result of a four-year empirical research project conducted in Polish ministries and study visits in public institutions of twelve countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Evaluating the effects of regional interventions. A look beyond current Structural Funds’ practice
The aim of this book is to enrich current evaluation of the Structural Funds in the field of regional development by connecting it with the advances in contemporary international practices of evaluation. We strongly believe that evaluation studies are one of the key feedback mechanisms in modern public policy. They help us reflect critically on the value and merit of our programmes, learn and improve the utility of new public interventions.
Encyclopedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 License. It is free to read, download and share on Elgaronline.com. This work has been funded by the Government of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd in partnership with United Nations Inter-Agency Task Force on SSE (UNTFSSE) The Encyclopedia of the Social and Solidarity Economy is a comprehensive reference text that explores how the social and solidarity economy (SSE) plays a significant role in creating and developing economic activities in alternative ways. In contrast to processes involving commodification, commercialisation, bureaucratisation and corporatisation, the SSE reasserts the place of ethics, social well-being and democratic decision-making in economic activities and governance. Identifying and analysing a myriad of issues and topics associated with the SSE, the Encyclopedia broadens the knowledge base of diverse actors of the SSE, including practitioners, activists and policymakers.
Policy-Making as Designing
The articles on which Chapters 4, 5 and 6 are based are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. Design approaches to policy-making have gained increasing popularity among policy makers in recent years. First published as a special issue of Policy & Politics, this book presents original critical reflections on the value of design approaches and how they relate to the classical idea of public administration as a design science, with a new concluding chapter. Contributors consider the potential, challenges and applications of design approaches and distinguish between three methods currently characterising the discipline: design as optimisation, design as exploration and design as co-creation. Developing the dialogue around public administration as a design science, this collection explores how a more ‘designerly’ way of thinking can improve public administration and public policy.
Challenges to European Welfare Systems
This book provides the first comprehensive analyses of the challenges all European welfare systems have been facing since 2007, combining in-depth country-based studies and comparative chapters. It focuses on: 1) the economic and financial crisis, 2) demographic change, and 3) the balance between avoiding risks and opening up opportunities in social policy. The results show that European welfare systems tend to face the same challenges in different ways and that also their responses to those challenges differ considerably. Although the EU also plays a part in shaping national welfare systems, it becomes evident that European welfare systems are by no means converging: in terms of social policy, national diversity within Europe is still a major factor that will shape future developments in European welfare systems.
Plenty Good Room
Plenty Good Room lays out in clear terms the hope of democratic socialism for a world ravaged by intensifying racial capitalism and social injustice. Unleash your ingenuity for systems that offer plenty good room--not for just a few but for all. Economic inequality yawns as wide as ever. Capitalism is working as it was designed: replicating an uneven balance of power, constraining life chances, and limiting imaginations. Those of us concerned about injustice often confine ourselves to issue-by-issue activism. The end result? Owners, investors, and a politics of inequality win. But what if there's another way to organize our common life--and what if it's as homegrown as sweet potato pie? What...
