This edition of well over 50,000 entries not only updates its predecessor but considerably increases the coverage of Latin America and Eastern Europe. I have been aided in this work by two colleagues at Glasgow University Library, Dr Lloyd Davies and Barbara MacMillan, and in general revision by Kate Richard. Close on 20% of the text has been altered. The equivalences, introduced into the last edition, linking acronyms in different languages for the same organization, have been extended. New to this edition is the cross-referencing between a defunct organization and its successor. Otherwise the policies adopted in previous editions have been retained: strictly local organizations are omitted...
This book explores the impact on EU member states of intensified European cooperation in the field of vocational education and training. By employing the Varieties of Capitalism approach as an analytical framework, it seeks to bridge diverging views from an innovative standpoint: While many experts argue that EU policies liberalize national training systems in spite of being ‘soft law’, Varieties of Capitalism argues that these polices do not produce a convergence of national institutions. The book maintains that European instruments such as the European Qualifications Framework and the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training are indeed biased towards liberal training regimes. On the basis of case studies on Germany, the Netherlands and England, it shows that the initiatives were implemented in line with national training systems. Thus, European soft law does not lead to a convergence of training regimes – or, as the book posits, of welfare states in general.
This edition of over 60 000 entries, including significantly more than 20% new or revised material, not only updates its predecessor but also continues the policy of extending coverage to areas dealt with only sparsely in previous editions. Special attention has been paid to the Far East, Australasia and Latin America in general, and to the People's Republic of China in particular. The cross-referencing between a defunct organization and its successor (indicated by ex and now) introduced into the last edition, has been extended. Otherwise the policies adopted in previous editions have been retained. All kinds of organizations are included - international, national, governmental, individual, ...
The textbook introduces the self-understanding, institutional structure and practice of the political system of the Federal Republic of Germany. The work provides a problem-oriented overview of the basic constitutional and foreign policy decisions that have constituted German democracy; the political field of forces formed by interest groups, citizens' initiatives, parties and mass media; the political institutions at the federal, state and local levels; the social reach and administrative enforcement of political decisions; the political culture including the structure of the political ruling class. The new edition also addresses, among other things, the consequences of the Corona crisis for the political system, the changing party system and the crisis of the EU after the 2021 federal election.
How are professors paid? Can the "best and brightest" be attracted to the academic profession? With universities facing international competition, which countries compensate their academics best, and which ones lag behind? Paying the Professoriate examines these questions and provides key insights and recommendations into the current state of the academic profession worldwide. Paying the Professoriate is the first comparative analysis of global faculty salaries, remuneration, and terms of employment. Offering an in-depth international comparison of academic salaries in twenty-eight countries across public, private, research, and non-research universities, chapter authors shed light on the co...
Das dreibändige Werk „Akademisches Personalmanagement“ beschreibt die zentralen Aspekte der Personalarbeit an Hochschulen – ein Bereich, der sich dynamisch und divers entwickelt. Dabei ordnen die drei Bände die diversen Ansätze aus Theorie und Praxis und tragen zu einer diskursiven Weiterentwicklung bei. Dieser Band 3 beschäftigt sich dabei mit folgenden Personalaufgaben an Hochschulen: Inplacement zur fachlichen, sozialen wie kulturellen Einführung der neuen Mitarbeitenden, Personalentwicklung zur laufenden Anpassung notwendiger Qualifikationen, Anreizsysteme zur Aktivierung wie Verstärkung von Teilnahme-, Bleibe- und Leistungsmotivation sowie Personalführung in verschiedenen F...
Einer frühzeitigen, in der Schule beginnenden Entrepreneurship Education werden sowohl von Seiten der Wirtschafts- als auch von Teilen der Bildungspolitik wesentliche Potenziale und Chancen zugeschrieben. Trotz der damit verbundenen mehrjährigen politischen Aufmerksamkeit ist der Terminus der Youth Entrepreneurship Education im gesellschaftlichen Alltag bislang wenig verbreitet sowie die Entrepreneurship Education für Kinder und Jugendliche allenfalls vereinzelt Bestandteil deutscher Schul- und Bildungssysteme. Eine (meta-)theoretische Betrachtung der Youth Entrepreneurship Education in Deutschland drängt sich in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur bis dato ebenso wenig auf. Die vorliegende...
