Innovation and Research Policies
Innovation is important for all countries seeking to maintain or improve their competitive advantage in the global economy. This text addresses major policy debates in science, technology and innovation focusing mainly on Europe, but also including comparisons with other countries around the world.
Cultural Policy in the Netherlands
Summary: "Cultural Policy in the Netherlands, Edition 2009" deals with the three areas covered by Dutch cultural policy: (1) cultural heritage (museums, heritage conservation, archaeological heritage, and archives); (2) media (broadcasting and the press), literature and libraries; and (3) the arts (the fine arts, the performing arts, photography and design, architecture, film, the amateur arts, and cultural education). The book also considers a number of cultural policy themes, for example cultural diversity, the National History Museum , and international cultural policy.

This edition covers policy up to the beginning of 2009, although the statistics presented relate mainly to the 2005-2008 funding period.
Internationalisation in Secondary Education in Europe
The scope of the book is an integrated discussion of several aspects of the internationalisation process in secondary education in Europe. The European and International Orientation (EIO) in education is dealt with from different national angles and theoretical visions, supported by recently conducted empirical studies in several countries. The book describes national policies concerning EIO, the way in which schools implement these policies and the success and difficulties of the activities that they undertake. A connection is made with ideas of citizenship in a European perspective and the question comes up for discussion if there can be spoken of common European values. Important issues a...
Het Nieuwe Theaterleren
Summary: Sinds de introductie in 1999 van het schoolvak Culturele Kunstzinnige Vorming (ckv) maken de theatrale podiumkunsten een belangrijk onderdeel uit van cultuureducatie in de bovenbouw van het voortgezet onderwijs. Omdat binnen ckv de receptieve cultuureducatie centraal staat, trekken leerlingen er massaal op uit om culturele activiteiten te ondernemen. Theaterbezoek is vanaf het begin populair. Hierdoor kregen aan de ene kant docenten te maken met een voor het onderwijs tamelijk nieuwe kunstdiscipline; aan de andere kant kregen theaters en theatergezelschappen er een publieksgroep bij, die nog niet zo goed in het Nederlandse theaterwereldje was ingevoerd. In deze studie wordt het veld waar theater en onderwijs elkaar in het kader van CKV ontmoeten, onder de loep genomen.
Enhancing Teaching and Learning in the Dutch Vocational Education System
This book discusses how the Dutch vocational education system has undergone significant waves of reform driven by global imperatives, national concerns and governmental policy goals. Like elsewhere, the impetuses for these reforms are directed to generating a more industry-responsive, locally-accountable and competence-based vocational education system. Each wave of reforms, however, has had particular emphases, and directed to achieve particular policy outcomes. Yet, they are more than mere versions of what had or is occurring elsewhere. They are shaped by specific national imperatives, sentiments and localised concerns. Consequently, whilst this book elaborate what constitutes the contempo...
Structuring Mass Higher Education
Undoubtedly the most important development in higher education in recent years has been the seemingly inexorable expansion of national systems. In a comparatively short time period many countries have moved from an elite to a mass model. Furthermore, expansion has invariably changed the whole experience of higher education for all the interested parties from, presidents, rectors and vice-chancellors to first-term undergraduates. Structuring Mass Higher Education examines the impact of this change upon the existing national structures of higher education. It also defines and highlights what makes an ‘elite’ university – something which institutions must strive for in order to gain their...
The Europeanisation of Vocational Education and Training
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.
