The Transatlantic Dialogue on Higher Education by Ulla Kriebernegg Pdf

Comparing apples and oranges frequently, this is what we do when we talk about similarities and differences regarding higher education in the United States and Europe. Based on the assumption that higher education policy texts are cultural texts to be interpreted, this book deconstructs four US American cultural narratives within higher education (co-opetition, the frontier myth, McDonaldization, and the narrative of security), and compares these to discourses prevailing in Europe. Disputing the prevalent claim that both the recent European higher education transformation initiative, the Bologna Process, and the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) have had absolutely no impact on US institutions of higher learning, this study proves that cultural narratives in the last decade have strongly determined political and structural developments in higher education on both sides of the Atlantic. This book therefore adds another facet to the transatlantic dialogue on higher education by providing a cultural critical perspective, including the Foucauldian theory of governmentality as well as aspects of postcolonial theory.

The EU as a Global Digital Actor by Elaine Fahey Pdf

This is the first book-length treatment of the advancement of EU global data flows and digital trade through the framework of European institutionalisation. Drawing on case studies of EU-US, EU-Japan and EU-China relations it charts the theoretical and empirical approaches at play. It illustrates how the EU has pioneered high standards in data flows and how it engages in significant digital trade reforms, committed to those standards. The book marks a major shift in how institutionalisation and the EU should be viewed as it relates to two of the more extraordinary areas of global governance: trade and data flows. This significant book will be of interest to EU constitutional lawyers, as well as those researching in the field of IT and data law.

Trans/American, Trans/Oceanic, Trans/lation by Susana Araújo,João Ferreira Duarte,Marta Pacheco Pinto Pdf

I took a trip down to L’America To trade some beads for a pint of gold. Jim Morrison As the title indicates, Trans/American, Trans/Oceanic, Trans/lation points towards the International American Studies Society’s aims to promote cross-disciplinary study and teaching of the Americas regionally, hemispherically, nationally and transnationally. But it also reflects, less strategically but more forcefully, the heterogeneous and often unexpected themes, topics and motifs addressed in this forum. These articles are revealing in that they give face and expression to the evolving trends and preoccupations in the field. In various ways and from different disciplinary angles, the essays explore key questions in International American Studies: what have been the symbolic and material relations between the “Americas” and the “USA,” and between “America” and the “World”? What are the meanings and workings of these four entities when examined across nations, cultures and languages? In what ways does American experience contribute to the global (re-)production of social, cultural and economic practices?

Adapting Universities to the Global Society by Charles F. Bonser Pdf

The contributions of this volume are based on the colloquium "Adapting universities to the global society - a transatlantic perspective," held by the Transatlantic Policy Consortium on the Bloomington Campus of Indiana University in September 2007. The 12 provocative papers investigate the impacts of globalization and global competition on the performance, mission, role and shape of American and European universities, identify the differences between American and European universities regarding societal support, research, management and leadership, examine ways of closing the gaps and meeting university quality challenges, and assess the values of the Bologna Process and the changing nature of university governance. The volume provides a unique insight into these problems from a European and US perspective.

Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Higher Education by James E. Côté Pdf

This is the first handbook to cover the sociological approaches to higher education. It is timely because of global expansions of mass higher educational systems, especially as these systems come under scrutiny by a variety of stakeholders. Questions are being raised about the value of traditional pedagogies along with calls for efficiency, accountability and cost-reduction, but above all job training. Within this neoliberal context, each chapter examines different sociological aspects of, and debates about, educational institutions as status-conferring organizations, with myriad positional characteristics, experiences, and outcomes. Many current debates concern the legitimacy of the statuses conferred, including the continuing debate regarding the role of universities in legitimating social class reproduction as well as more recent concerns about standards in mass systems. This handbook puts these issues and debates in focus in ways that will be of interest to a variety of stakeholders, within academia as well as in policy circles.

The Globalization of Higher Education by Luc Weber,James J. Duderstadt Pdf

The Glion VI Colloquium departed from its customary transatlantic dialogue by broadening participation, including university leaders from around the world representing 18 nations and five continents, to consider the globalization of higher education. The emergence of a global, knowledge-driven economy is driven by a radically new system for creating wealth that depends upon the creation and application of new knowledge and hence upon advanced education, research, innovation and entrepreneurial activities. Both mature and developing nations are making major investments in building the knowledge infrastructure â schools, universities, research institutes, high-tech industry, cyberinfrastructure, public policies and programs â necessary to achieve prosperity and security in the knowledge economy. In parallel with these trends, there is a strong sense that higher education is also in the early stages of globalization, both through the increasing mobility of students and faculty, and the rapid growth in international partnerships among universities. Some even conjecture that we will soon see the emergence of truly global universities, which not only intend to compete in the global marketplace for students, faculty and resources, but also are increasingly willing to define their public purpose in terms of glob-al needs such as public health, political, economic and environmental sustain-ability, and international development. The first part of this volume provides a context for the subsequent discussion of the impact of globalization on the university from the perspective of a university leader, a foundation president and an industry executive. Part II considers the global strategies of established universities from several nations: the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Japan and Russia. A quite different perspective is provided by the participants in the third part, which focuses on strategies for emerging universities and university systems in China, Singapore, Korea and Brazil. Part IV turns to a broader discussion of global competition and cooperation within the context of changing paradigms in higher education, with participants from an unusually broad range of institutions including business schools, industry, scientific academies, open universities and technology institutes. The final part examines the broader global responsibilities of higher education from the perspective of Europe, the Middle East and the United States. [Publisher, ed].
