Locus of Authority
by William G. Bowen Eugene M. TobinLocus of Authority argues that every issue facing today's colleges and universities, from stagnant degree completion rates to worrisome cost increases, is exacerbated by a century-old system of governance that desperately requires change. While prior studies have focused on boards of trustees and presidents, few have looked at the place of faculty within the governance system. Specifically addressing faculty roles in this structure, William G. Bowen and Eugene M. Tobin ask: do higher education institutions have what it takes to reform effectively from within? Bowen and Tobin use case studies of four very different institutions--the University of California, Princeton University, Macalester College, and the City University of New York--to demonstrate that college and university governance has capably adjusted to the necessities of the moment and that governance norms and policies should be assessed in the context of historical events. The authors examine how faculty roles have evolved since colonial days to drive change but also to stand in the way of it. Bowen and Tobin make the case that successful reform depends on the artful consideration of technological, financial, and cultural developments, such as the explosion in online learning. Stressing that they do not want to diminish faculty roles but to facilitate their most useful contributions, Bowen and Tobin explore whether departments remain the best ways through which to organize decision making and if the concepts of academic freedom and shared governance need to be sharpened and redefined. Locus of Authority shows that the consequences of not addressing college and university governance are more than the nation can afford.

Logics of Socialist Education
by Zsuzsa Millei Tom G. GriffithsFor some, socialism is a potent way of achieving economic, political and social transformations in the twenty-first century, while others find the very term socialism outdated. This book engages readers in a discussion about the viability of socialist views on education and identifies the capacity of some socialist ideas to address a range of widely recognized social ills. It argues that these pervasive social problems, which plague so-called 'developed' societies as much as they contribute to the poverty, humiliation and lack of prospects in the rest of the world, fundamentally challenge us to act. In our contemporary world-system, distancing ourselves from the injustices of others is neither viable nor defensible. Rather than waiting for radically new solutions to emerge, this book sees the possibility of transformation in the reconfiguration of existing social logics that comprise our modern societies, including logics of socialism. The book presents case studies that offer a critical examination of education in contemporary socialist contexts, as well as reconsidering examples of education under historical socialism. In charting these alternatives, and retooling past solutions in a nuanced way, it sets out compelling evidence that it is possible to think and act in ways that depart from today's dominant educational paradigm. It offers contemporary policy makers, researchers, and practitioners a cogent demonstration of the contemporary utility of educational ideas and solutions associated with socialism. A pioneering collection of essays which is central to understanding the historical and contemporary meanings of socialism in the context of neoliberal globalization. It is a most timely contribution to a growing intellectual project that challenges the hegemony of capitalism, while re-thinking and theorizing alternatives. Iveta Silova, Associate Professor of Comparative Education, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA In this significant contribution to recent scholarship the authors use the lens of socialist education to offer an original critique of hegemonic capitalism, and present an intellectually rigorous search for alternatives by reconsidering historical socialism and advancing promising educational experiments that challenge the 'global architecture of education'.

Lok Prashasan class 12 - RBSE Board: लोक प्रशासन कक्षा 12 - आरबीएसई बोर्ड
by Madhyamik Shiksha Board Rajasthan Ajmerलोक प्रशासन कक्षा 12 वीं का पुस्तक हिंदी भाषा में माध्यमिक शिक्षा बोर्ड राजस्थान, अजमेर ने प्रकाशित किया गया है । इस पाठ्यपुस्तक मे उन्तीस अध्याय और उनके अभ्यास प्रश्न दिये गये है । लोक प्रशासन प्रशासन की एक अधिक व्यापक अवधारणा का ही एक पहल है। इसलिए लोक प्रशासन का अर्थ समझने से पहले यह आवश्यक है कि हम 'प्रशासन' शब्द का अर्थ समझें। अंग्रेजी शब्द 'administer' (प्रशासन करना) दो लातिन शब्दों ad और minister के मेल से निकलता है जिनका अर्थ है 'सेवा करना' या 'प्रबंधित करना' । 'प्रशासन' का शाब्दिक अर्थ है सार्वजानिक मामलों का प्रबंधन ।
Lokaler Boykott der Bologna-Reform: Eine Untersuchung zur Beibehaltung des Diploms im Ingenieurstudium (essentials)
by Marcel Schütz Heinke Röbken Nicola HericksIm Rahmen einer organisationswissenschaftlichen Untersuchung an ausgew#65533;hlten Fakult#65533;ten, die eine Bologna-Anpassung einzelner Studieng#65533;nge ablehnen, werden Handlungsstrategien zur Beibehaltung der alten Studieng#65533;nge betrachtet. Das essential stellt zentrale Ergebnisse einer durchgef#65533;hrten Interviewreihe vor. Die Beispiele reformresistenter ingenieurwissenschaftlicher Fachbereiche helfen bei einer differenzierten Beurteilung des allseits beschworenen Wettbewerbs von Studienstandorten und Studieng#65533;ngen. Auch rund zwanzig Jahre nach Einf#65533;hrung des Bologna-Systems ist der Prozess der Harmonisierung von Studienf#65533;chern und -abschl#65533;ssen keineswegs abgeschlossen. Dieses essential liefert einen wertvollen Beitrag zur Analyse und Diskussion.
