Die Verstetigung internationaler Hochschulstudienprogramme
Aufgrund der politischen Umwälzungen der letzten zwanzig Jahre in der Region Mittlerer Osten und Nordafrika (MENA) gewann die deutsch-arabische Hochschulzusammenarbeit eine strategische Bedeutung für die deutsche Entwicklungspolitik. Der Deutsche Akademische Austauschdienst (DAAD) unterstützte zwischen 2005 und 2020 den Aufbau von zehn kooperativen Studienprogrammen mit Partneruniversitäten in Ägypten, Jordanien und dem Libanon. Diese Programme hatten das Ziel, einen entwicklungspolitischen Impact in Bereichen wie nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung, integriertes Wassermanagement, Förderung erneuerbarer Energien sowie wirtschaftlicher und politischer Transition zu erzielen. Bisher fehlen theo...

Structures of Scientific Collaboration
How technology and bureaucracy shape collaborative scientific research projects: an empirical study of multiorganizational collaboration in the physical sciences. Collaboration among organizations is rapidly becoming common in scientific research as globalization and new communication technologies make it possible for researchers from different locations and institutions to work together on common projects. These scientific and technological collaborations are part of a general trend toward more fluid, flexible, and temporary organizational arrangements, but they have received very limited scholarly attention. Structures of Scientific Collaboration is the first study to examine multi-organiz...
Internationalization of Higher Education in the United States of America and Europe
Integrating his previous publications with ongoing research, Wit (international affairs, U. of Amsterdam) examines the historical development of the internationalization of higher education and how it differs in the US and Europe; its various rationales, meaning, approaches, strategies, and organizational models; and ways to interpret some of its key manifestations at the turn of the 21st century. He distinguishes three phases of development as the international dimension, international education, and the internationalization of higher education.

Partnership for International Development
Partnership, says Brinkerhoff (public administration, George Washington U.) is the polite term for minimizing the responsibility of government in development projects. She seeks to clarify the concepts and its practice, to critique the understanding and practice of it in international development to date, and to specify its defining dimensions.

Expository Science: Forms and Functions of Popularisation
The prevailing view of scientific popularization, both within academic circles and beyond, affirms that its objectives and procedures are unrelated to tasks of cognitive development and that its pertinence is by and large restricted to the lay public. Consistent with this view, popularization is frequently portrayed as a logical and hence inescapable consequence of a culture dominated by science-based products and procedures and by a scientistic ideology. On another level, it is depicted as a quasi-political device for chan nelling the energies of the general public along predetermined paths; examples of this are the nineteenth-century Industrial Revolution and the U. S. -Soviet space race. ...
Gender Change in Academia
Editors’ Foreword The fundamental changes currently taking place in the national and international science landscapes can no longer be overlooked. Within those changes, reforms do not go ‘as planned’ but, as is always the case with processes of rationali- tion, have a series of unintended effects. At the same time it becomes incre- ingly clear who in this process are the winners and who are the losers, although this is still subject to fluctuation and change. This can be illustrated by two - amples from current events: Where the range of taught courses is concerned, as part of the Bologna Process the new structuring of student study paths and their organisation is aimed at unifying the...
Organizations Working Together
Organizational cooperation, collaboration and networking are increasingly being seen as the most effective ways of achieving goals. In this volume, the authors describe the various kinds of organizational collaborations currently taking place in the public and private sectors, and the influence these experiments have on practice, research and theory. Alter and Hage then focus on the most complete type of organizational cooperation - the systemic network - and demonstrate its effectiveness through a detailed study of two networks of public agencies.
Organizational Collaboration
Many organizations today operate across boundaries - both internal and external to the organization. Exploring concepts and theories about different organizational, inter-organizational and international contexts, this student reader aids understanding of the individual’s experience of working within and across such boundaries. The book adopts a critical approach to individual experience and highlights the complexities inherent in these different layers and levels of organizing. Comprising a collection of key articles and extracts presented in a readable accessible way, this book also features an introductory chapter which provides an overall critique of the book. Each part features a brie...
