Very few studies have ventured to explore the shift in economic ideas that were such a critical factor in shaping and understanding the East European transition process. Paul Dragos Aligica and Anthony J. Evans have seized upon the potential that this crucial case has to illuminate the larger phenomenon of diffusion and adoption of economic ideas. Two different but related research agendas are developed: the study of the spread of neoliberalism as seen from the perspective of Eastern European post-communist evolutions and the study of Eastern European transition as seen from an ideas-centered perspective. Combining a distinctive synthesis of the existing data about the spread of neoliberal e...

This volume of essays examines the empirical evidence on school choice in different countries across Europe, North America, sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. It demonstrates the advantages which choice offers in different institutional contexts, whether it be Free Schools in the UK, voucher systems in Sweden or private-proprietor schools for low-income families in Liberia. Everywhere experience suggests that parents are ‘active choosers’: they make rational and considered decisions, drawing on available evidence and responding to incentives which vary from context to context. Government educators frequently downplay the importance of choice and try to constrain the options parents have. But they face increasing resistance: the evidence is that informed parents drive improvements in school quality. Where state education in some developing countries is particularly bad, private bottom-up provision is preferred even though it costs parents money which they can ill-afford. This book is both a collection of inspiring case studies and a call to action.
La autora nos invita a reflexionar sobre el poder de nuestra presencia y de nuestro impacto en el mundo. A menudo no nos damos cuenta del daño o del beneficio de nuestra influencia y del mal o del bien que podemos provocar. En la medida en que seamos más conscientes de nuestro impacto, asumiremos la responsabilidad de transitar por este mundo sembrando armonía, paz y amor. Y precisamente cuando vivimos en y desde ese espacio interior tenemos presencia. Una persona con presencia está asentada internamente. Su presencia surge de ser y de estar conectado con su verdadera identidad. Vive sin máscaras. Su presencia reconoce y es reconocida. Es transformadora. A lo largo del libro, veremos los factores que contribuyen a incrementar nuestra presencia en el mundo.
