Understanding the Role of Public Policy Centers and Institutes in Fostering University-Government Partnerships by Lynn H. Leverty,David R. Colburn Pdf

For more than a century, public policy institutes at universities have followed a tradition of public and civil engagement through scholarship and training programs that address a wide variety of policy needs in public and private sectors. With current trends in government budget reductions and the expansion of government bureaucracies at state and local levels, public policy institutes must play increasingly significant roles in developing effective partnerships between universities and government agencies. This issue provides an overview of the modern public policy institute, beginning with its inception at the University of Wisconsin, and its historic role in American public life. Using different models, the authors examine innovative approaches to developing the structure of programs in both traditional academic environments and in applied research and training; attracting and rewarding faculty engaged in public service; and determining which policy issues to approach at institutional levels. They also discuss current trends in this field, including a growing commitment to national and international issues, and policymaking as institutional design. This is the 112th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Higher Education.

Critical Perspectives on Global Competition in Higher Education by Sylvia S. Bagley,Laura M. Portnoi Pdf

This volume delivers a cutting-edge analysis on vernacular globalization, or how local forces mediate global trends. It delves into the vital facets of the quest for global competitiveness, including: Global university rankings World-class universities University mergers Quality assurance Cross-border higher education International education hubs. The authors situate their topics within current international scholarship and demonstrate the myriad avenues through which local actors in higher education may respond to global competition. They pose critical questions about the impact of global competition in an increasingly hierarchical higher education environment, interrogating the potential for social injustice that arises. By providing an alternative perspective to the descriptive, normative approach that dominates the scholarship on global competition in higher education, the chapters in this volume open a fresh and invaluable dialogue in this arena. This is the 168th volume of the Jossey-Bass quarterly report series New Directions for Higher Education. Addressed to presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other higher education decision makers on all kinds of campuses, it provides timely information and authoritative advice about major issues and administrative problems confronting every institution.

New Directions in Educational Leadership by Paul Harling Pdf

Originally published in 1984. The argument of this book is that the preceding 12 to 15 years saw significant changes in educationalists’ understanding and application of the concepts of leadership, and because of these changes two things happened. One, the relationship between participants changed; and two, policy and practice also changed. The papers in this collection have been specially commissioned or collected together with this thesis in mind. Each of them examines leadership with special reference to one or more aspects, sectors, roles or interests within the educational system of England and Wales.

Contesting Globalization and Internationalization of Higher Education by Deane E. Neubauer,Ka Ho Mok,Sachi Edwards Pdf

This edited volume brings together exciting new research and ideas related to the ongoing internationalization of higher education, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, where this phenomenon has been rapidly developing in recent years. It also specifically focuses on analyzing the extent to which resurgent nationalisms from around the world effect the growth and direction of this sector of education. As cultural and political tensions rise globally, many are turning to educators and education researchers for suggestions on how to respond to this trend. This volume seeks to answer that call. Moreover, as authors share perspectives and data from a wide range of national and institutional contexts, the applicability of this volume extends beyond national or regional boundaries, offering questions, challenges, and lessons for educators worldwide.
