Download or read book Reform of Higher Education in Europe written by J. Enders and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume ‘Reform of Higher Education in Europe’ is published in celebration of CHEPS’ 25th anniversary. All contributors to this book are working at CHEPS, and bring their extensive knowledge of the deep-seated reforms and changes to the field of higher education and research over the last 25 years. The chapters are each devoted to a detailed policy analysis deeply rooted in CHEPS’ quarter-century programme of theoretical and empirical research. Some contributions cover key themes of concern since CHEPS’ early years, including state-university relationships, quality assurance and funding. Other contributions cover more contemporary higher education policy issues, including European reform initiatives (innovation, the Bologna Process, doctoral training and the Erasmus programme) and debates around higher education institutions’ evolving functions, including the university’s third mission and the research function of universities of applied sciences. What unifies all chapters is their recognition that policy success is dependent on smart implementation grounded in a comprehensive understanding of highly complex policy processes. The book as a whole offers clear descriptions and analyses of how policy processes are implemented through co-ordinated institutional and stakeholder interventions. This volume seeks to enhance academic and policy-maker understanding of Europe’s evolving higher education system as it emerges as a cornerstone of the contemporary knowledge society.
Download or read book Anarchy and Art written by Allan Antliff and published by arsenal pulp press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the powers of art is its ability to convey the human aspects of political events. In this fascinating survey on art, artists, and anarchism, Allan Antliff interrogates critical moments when anarchist artists have confronted pivotal events over the past 140 years. The survey begins with Gustave Courbet’s activism during the 1871 Paris Commune (which established the French republic) and ends with anarchist art during the fall of the Soviet empire. Other subjects include the French neoimpressionists, the Dada movement in New York, anarchist art during the Russian Revolution, political art of the 1960s, and gay art and politics post-World War II. Throughout, Antliff vividly explores art’s potential as a vehicle for social change and how it can also shape the course of political events, both historic and present-day; it is a book for the politically engaged and art aficionados alike. Allan Antliff is the author of Anarchist Modernism.

Download or read book The Desktop Regulatory State written by Kevin A. Carson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defenders of the modern state often claim that it's needed to protect us-from terrorists, invaders, bullies, and rapacious corporations. Economist John Kenneth Galbraith, for instance, famously argued that the state was a source of "countervailing power" that kept other social institutions in check. But what if those "countervailing" institution-corporations, government agencies and domesticated labor unions-in practice collude more than they "countervail" each other? And what if network communications technology and digital platforms now enable us to take on all those dinosaur hierarchies as equals-and more than equals. In The Desktop Regulatory State, Kevin Carson shows how the power of self-regulation, which people engaged in social cooperation have always possessed, has been amplified and intensifed by changes in consciousness-as people have become aware of their own power and of their ability to care for themselves without the state-and in technology-especially information technology. Drawing as usual on a wide array of insights from diverse disciplines, Carson paints an inspiring, challenging, and optimistic portrait of a humane future without the state, and points provocatively toward the steps we need to take in order to achieve it.

The compilation begins in 1617 with Ralph in Ashford, Kent and follows him to America, descending through Samuel, Abraham, Henry, David and David, spanning the years 1639 to 1807.The compilers sought primary reference and consultation, and in the effort to gather fragments of Dayton history, the work accumulated nearly 500 citations and 14 pages of works cited. The book is fully indexed and contains almost fifty images of original documents, autographs, illustrations, maps and photographs. Contextual or background information is also provided, particularly in the first few chapters, to aid understanding.The compilers' motivation for publishing many years of research is to provide family and researchers a collection of material with which to begin their own discovery. With the advantage of modern availability to information, early scholarship and family legends are confronted in the effort to expose real people. In doing so, differing interpretations are offered so the reader can draw their own conclusions and advance the dialog.
