    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Are students well prepared to meet the challenges of the future? Parents, students, the public and those who run education systems need to know whether children are acquiring the necessary skills and knowledge to become tomorrow's citizens and to continue learning throughout life. International indicators can describe the levels of achievement in various countries, to which others might aspire. They can provide direction for schools' instructional efforts and for students' learning as well as insights into curriculum strengths and weaknesses. The 29 Member countries of the OECD, together with other countries, have launched the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to develop such indicators on a regular basis. PISA aims at assessing how far students approaching the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society. A New Framework for Assessment, the first volume in the PISA series, provides the conceptual framework on which the PISA 2000 assessment is based. It defines the domains of reading literacy, mathematics literacy and scientific literacy forming the core of PISA in terms of the content that students need to acquire, the processes that need to be performed, and the contexts in which knowledge and skills are applied. It also describes the methods developed to ensure that the assessment tasks are valid across countries, are strong at measuring relevant skills and are based on authentic life situations.

    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Les universités et autres établissements d’enseignement tertiaire dépensent des sommes considérables pour assurer la maintenance des bâtiments, des sites et des infrastructures de communication. Cependant, une approche plus stratégique de la gestion des biens en capital est essentielle dans un contexte où l’enseignement tertiaire est toujours davantage ouvert à la concurrence, où les fonds publics sont de plus en plus réduits et où la technologie et la globalisation posent de nouveaux défis. Quelle va être l’incidence des technologies de la communication sur les besoins en termes d’espace ? Quelles mesures les gestionnaires d’institutions peuvent-ils prendre pour gérer les risques inhérents à des changements rapides ? De quelle manière le rôle des gestionnaires d’équipements évolue-t-il et de quels instruments ces derniers auront-ils désormais besoin pour être plus efficaces dans leur travail ? Cet ouvrage apporte des réponses à ces questions et montre comment on peut, dans le cadre de la poursuite des objectifs institutionnels, optimiser l’utilisation des ressources investies dans les équipements. Il s’appuie sur les travaux d’un atelier international où l’on a examiné les tendances récentes des politiques de l’enseignement tertiaire -- à savoir l’ouverture du marché, la valorisation de l’étudiant et de ses choix, l’apprentissage à vie, et la disparition progressive des différences sectorielles.

    Abstract: Le Royaume-Uni a lancé au printemps 1999 un grand projet pour accroître l’utilisation des bâtiments scolaires. Les bonnes écoles des secteurs public et privé ont toujours offert des activités récréatives et scolaires en dehors des heures de classe. Le gouvernement a décidé maintenant d’investir 200 millions de livres sterling provenant de la Loterie nationale pour permettre aux écoles des zones défavorisées dont les élèves ont de faibles résultats scolaires de développer ce type d’initiatives.

    Abstract: Entre 15 et 30 pour cent des enfants et des adolescents risquent d'échouer à l'école où les problèmes d'acquisition des connaissances et de comportement touchent des enfants de plus en plus jeunes. De nombreux pays, aux contextes politiques et culturels très différents, répondent à ces défis en renforçant la coordination des services éducatifs, sanitaires et sociaux, processus souvent amplifié par une participation plus large, qui s'étend aux entreprises et aux personnes âgées. C'est plus qu'un simple replâtrage des systèmes de prestation de services prévus par la loi. Les services actuels ne correspondent pas aux besoins. Notre vision de la famille et de ses besoins change, ainsi que l'équilibre entre les aspects préventifs et curatifs, et la façon dont les professionnels travaillent ensemble. Cet ouvrage retrace dans le détail l'évolution de ce processus dans sept pays de l'OCDE : Allemagne, Australie, Canada, Etats-Unis, Finlande, Pays-Bas et Portugal. Il étudie la transformation des systèmes dans l'optique des décideurs, des gestionnaires, des praticiens et des usagers. Il rend compte du cadre dans lequel s'inscrit cette évolution, met en lumière les mesures prises pour la favoriser et examine les réformes proprement dites ainsi que leurs conséquences. Se plaçant dans une large perspective, cet ouvrage couvre la période préscolaire, la scolarité et le passage à la vie active.

    Abstract: Les élèves sont-ils bien préparés aux défis de l'avenir ? Ont-ils acquis les compétences et les connaissances nécessaires pour devenir les citoyens de demain et continuer à se former tout au long de leur vie ? Parents, élèves et responsables des systèmes éducatifs se doivent de répondre à cette question. Les indicateurs internationaux permettent de saisir les niveaux d'études atteints par différents pays, montrant ainsi aux autres pays quels objectifs viser. Ils peuvent également aider à mieux orienter les efforts des établissements en matière d'enseignement ainsi que l'apprentissage des élèves, et permettent identifier les points forts et les faiblesses des programmes d'enseignement. Les 29 pays de l'OCDE ont lancé, de concert avec d'autres pays, le Programme international de l'OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) afin de développer de façon régulière de tels indicateurs. L'objectif de PISA est d'évaluer dans quelle mesure les élèves ont acquis, à l'approche de la fin de la scolarité obligatoire, les compétences et les connaissances essentielles pour jouer un rôle plein et actif dans la société. Un nouveau cadre d'évaluation, le premier volume de la collection d'ouvrages consacrés à PISA, présente le cadre conceptuel sur lequel repose le programme PISA 2000. Il définit les domaines de compréhension de l'écrit, de culture mathématique et de culture scientifique qui sont au cœur du programme, qu'il s'agisse des contenus que doivent acquérir les élèves, des processus qui doivent être mis en œuvre, ou du contexte dans lequel connaissances et compétences seront appliquées. Il décrit également les méthodes utilisées pour s'assurer que les processus d'évaluation sont valides dans tous les pays, mesurent efficacement les compétences les plus pertinentes, et s'appuient sur des situations de la vie réelle. Le Programme international de l'OCDE pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) PISA est un processus de collaboration réunissant les compétences scientifiques des pays participants, mené conjointement par leurs gouvernements sur la base de préoccupations communes concernant l'action des pouvoirs publics. PISA constitue un effort d'évaluation des compétences et des acquis sans précédent : - Un engagement à long terme, portant sur la prochaine décennie, et permettant aux pays de suivre en continu les progrès accomplis. Les prochains volumes à paraître dans cette collection se focaliseront sur les tests, ainsi que sur leurs résultats, qui seront publiés et mis à jour tous les trois ans. - Un groupe d'âge représentatif : l'évaluation des élèves âgés de 15 ans, juste avant la fin de la scolarité obligatoire, permet de dresser un tableau très significatif des performances des systèmes éducatifs. - Une approche centrée sur la littératie : savoirs, connaissances et compétences ne sont pas simplement évalués à la lumière des programmes scolaires mais au regard des acquis dont les jeunes sont susceptibles d'avoir besoin dans leur vie. - Une couverture mondiale : le programme porte sur 32 pays, soit 28 pays de l'OCDE, ainsi que le Brésil, la Chine et la Fédération de Russie et la Lettonie.

    Abstract: Fears of the prospect of growing social exclusion have become important concerns in recent years for many countries. Improving the quality of education and the standards attained by students to improve employability is one of the tools being used to prevent exclusion. However, changing social realities are leaving young children and students more exposed than ever to failure at school and unemployment. It is becoming increasingly clear that communities, education systems, schools and teachers are not equipped to deal with the many problems which arise and when social or health services become involved conflicts of interest can arise leading to actions which are not always in the clients' best interests. The necessity to provide greater co-ordination among these services, to improve their efficiency and effectiveness and to provide a seamless support to meet the holistic needs of students and their families is now becoming more accepted. Such an approach, inter alia, is community-based, emphasises prevention rather than being crisis-oriented, is customer-driven rather than being focused on an agency, and is accountable through outcomes rather than inputs. For many, better co-ordination of services is seen as the only solution available which is commensurate with our present democratic societies. All of the papers in this book were presented at a conference held in Toronto, Canada. They are original and have been written by policy-makers from different ministries, researchers from different disciplines and clients who come variously from Canada, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, and the USA.

    Abstract: Universities are key elements in the science systems in all OECD countries. However, university research in OECD countries is currently the object of considerable tensions in a context of globalisation, reduced budgets and a changing interface with industry. How can universities adapt to this new order? How can the potential of university research best be enhanced? This study surveys these issues, consolidating the most up-to-date data on resources and structures of research activities in higher education systems and providing illustrative examples of institutional adaptations. It discusses related government measures and formulates policy orientations to enable countries to rise to the challenges of the coming years.

Il est important que ces fonds soient utilisés avec le maximum d’efficience et d’efficacité. Les autorités scolaires locales (LEA) auront pour tâche d’établir les Projets de gestion des actifs, qui couvriront les écoles publiques, toutes catégories confondues, situées sur leur circonscription. Un AMP offrira une base concertée à partir de laquelle pourront être déterminées, au niveau local, les priorités en matière de dépenses.

    Abstract: La rapidité, la nature et le caractère incertain de l’évolution de la situation économique, sociale et politique de la Fédération de Russie continuent à poser d'immenses défis pour l’enseignement tertiaire et la recherche dans les universités, les écoles professionnelles de niveau supérieur et les instituts de l’Académie des Sciences. Ces défis appellent des stratégies de réformes afin d’élargir le champ des opportunités d’apprentissage dans l’enseignement tertiaire et d'accroître la qualité et l'étendue de la recherche, mais aussi afin que l’enseignement tertiaire et la recherche puissent alimenter la croissance économique et contribuer au bien-être social. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur l’une des études les plus récentes, complètes et prospectives en la matière. L’examen proposé tient compte des structures spécifiques, des atouts et des traditions de l’enseignement tertiaire et de la recherche en Fédération de Russie. Il offre un ensemble d’orientations générales et de recommandations spécifiques pour les politiques concernant des questions clés telles que : l’accès, la qualité et les niveaux d’enseignement ; les nouvelles orientations permettant de diversifier et rendre accessible l’enseignement tertiaire ; la qualité de la recherche dans les établissements académiques et les instituts de recherche ; et les réformes dans la gestion, l’administration et le financement de l’enseignement et de la recherche. Cet examen de l’enseignement tertiaire et des politiques de recherche a été précédé par une première analyse du système d’enseignement général russe intitulée Examens des politiques nationales d’éducation : Fédération de Russie.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Quality and Internationalisation in Higher Education
    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: L'internationalisation fait désormais partie intégrante des missions d'enseignement, de recherche et de services publics de bon nombre d'universités et d'établissements d'enseignement supérieur. En outre, les institutions opèrent sur un marché mondial où l'assurance et l'évaluation de la qualité sont devenues des questions particulièrement délicates et mobilisatrices. Cet ouvrage examine certaines des difficultés rencontrées pour assurer la qualité de l'internationalisation. Il offre un cadre de nature à aider les établissements à concevoir et passer en revue leurs propres stratégies et politiques. Des experts de renommée internationale y analysent un environnement en pleine mutation, notamment à travers des études de cas portant sur l'Australie, les États-Unis, la Finlande, le Kenya, le Mexique et la Pologne. On trouvera également dans cette publication la primeur d'un nouvel instrument : le processus d'examen de la qualité de l'internationalisation (IQRP - Internationalisation Quality Review Process). Il s'agit d'un outil de travail indispensable aux administrateurs et chefs d'établissements qui souhaitent développer la dimension internationale de leurs programmes et services.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. Examens des politiques nationales d'éducation : Enseignement tertiaire et recherche en Fédération de Russie 1999
    Keywords: Education ; Russian Federation
    Abstract: The speed, nature and uncertainty of economic, social and political developments in the Russian Federation continue to pose enormous challenges for tertiary education and research activities in universities, higher level vocational schools and institutes of the academies of sciences. These challenges are shaping the strategies for needed reforms to widen further learning opportunities at the tertiary education level, improve the quality and extend the reach of research and boost the contributions of tertiary-level education and research to improved economic performance and social well-being. This book is based on one of the most recent, broadly-based and forward-looking analyses of these developments and pressures and takes account of the specific structures, strengths and traditions in tertiary education and research in the Russian Federation. It offers a set of general directions and specific recommendations for policies to address key issues of access, quality and standards in teaching; new directions to diversify and deliver tertiary education; the quality of research in academic and research establishments; and reforms in the governance, management and financing of teaching and research. This review of tertiary education and research policies follows an earlier examination of general education, Reviews of National Policies for Education: Russian Federation.

    Abstract: Lifelong Learning for All, the report emerging from the meeting of OECD Education Ministers signals their own commitment to advancing further this orientation in national education systems. Subsequent meetings of Labour and Social Affairs Ministers endorsed the relevance of a lifelong learning approach to address important aspects of labour and social policy issues. This report is the first country study organised in the form of an education policy review. It analyses the obstacles and challenges encountered thus far in adapting a lifelong learning approach to policy making in education and training from pre-school to adult education and retraining. Particular attention is given to education and the economy, regional development, new forms of distance education and financing.

    Parallel Title: Parallelausg. La gestion stratégique des biens en capital des établissements d'enseignement supérieur
    Keywords: Education
    Abstract: Universities and other tertiary institutions maintain buildings, sites and communications infrastructure worth many millions of dollars. A more strategic approach to asset management is essential for success in a new environment, where tertiary education is becoming increasingly competitive, direct public funding is being cut back and technology and globalisation are bringing new challenges. What impact will new information technology have on space requirements? What steps can institutional managers take to manage risks in rapidly-changing circumstances? In what ways is the role of facilities managers changing, and what skills and tools will be required for them to do their job more effectively in the future? This book provides some answers to these questions and shows how the resources invested in facilities can be made to work more efficiently in the pursuit of institutional objectives. It is based on the proceedings of an international workshop that examined current trends in tertiary education policy: a more open market, student-centredness and user choice, lifelong learning and the blurring of sectoral differences.

Ce projet de construction était l’occasion idéale de planifier, après mûre réflexion, l’équipement multimédia et informatique. Par ailleurs, cette école doit répondre aux besoins d’une population d’élèves déshérités et améliorer un environnement peu favorable.

    Abstract: Young people's situation and future prospects are of vital concern to us all. Many of them face high unemployment or joblessness and serious difficulties in getting a firm foothold into the labour market. Many leave school without the requisite skills or competences needed in today’s economy and society. Many are also experiencing falling relative (and sometimes real) wages and considerable uncertainty as to whether or not they will be able to settle into good careers. But at the same time, our ageing societies need, more than ever before, to harness the potential of all of our young people. This publication points the way to future initiatives to improve youth labour market and educational outcomes as identified by policy-makers and experts of OECD countries brought together at the Washington Conference "Preparing Youth for the 21st Century: The Policy Lessons from the Past Two Decades", held on 23-24 February 1999. To give the most comprehensive picture to date, it first puts today's challenges into a historical perspective by taking stock of two decades of policies for youth employment. But more substantially, this book provides insight into experiences and policy issues in the United States, as well as in Europe and Japan, with a stress on the special needs of disadvantaged youth. All of us interested in making sure we give youth a good start in education and in establishing rewarding labour market careers will find this compendium a milestone in youth employment debate.

Over the next three years, through various policy initiatives, about GBP 6 billion will be available to clear the maintenance backlog and improve school buildings. It is important that this money is used efficiently and as effectively as possible. Local Education Authorities (LEAs) will be responsible for preparing the Asset Management Plans, which will cover all types of state-funded schools in their boundaries. An AMP will provide an agreed basis for local decisions on spending priorities.

    Abstract: For many universities and other higher education providers, internationalisation is becoming an integral aspect of their teaching, research and public service roles. And institutions are increasingly operating in a global market in which quality assurance and assessment are particularly important and sensitive issues. This book discusses some of the challenges of ensuring quality in internationalisation, and provides a framework to assist institutions in designing and reviewing their own strategies and policies. Analysis of the evolving policy environment is contributed by internationally recognised experts; and case studies from Australia, Finland, Kenya, Mexico, Poland and the United States are included. The book also presents the Internationalisation Quality Review Process (IQRP), a unique practical tool for institutional leaders and managers who wish to develop the international dimension of their programmes and services.

    Abstract: After 1948 many opponents of apartheid were forced out of South Africa. This accessible and readable account draws upon interviews with many of those involved to examine how those activists who came to the United Kingdom developed political organisations, social networks, ideologies and identities that supported their time in exile. It examines the Anti-Apartheid Movement and the African National Congress in exile and documents the violent attempts by the South African government to control exile activity. Finally, it investigates how exiles came to terms with the possibility that they might return

    Abstract: One of the more positive international trends as of late has been the transformation of several countries from authoritarian-based dictatorships and single party systems into multi-party democracies characterized by peaceful political transitions. In this volume, a group of experts are gathered to analyse this progression on a comparative level. The scholars examine previously right-wing regimes in Brazil, Argentina, and South Africa, former Communist states in Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, and single party-dominant democracies in Italy, Japan, Mexico, and Israel. The essays reveal how the dramatic collapse of the USSR functioned as a crucial catalyst in allowing pent-up domestic pressures for change to emerge in a less charged international environment. In addition, the chapters study the historical and current evolution of these countries, focusing on their success in developing long-term pluralistic structures, and gauging whether these recent trends are more overnight fads than long lasting advancements

    Abstract: In 1967 Moscow created a Middle Eastern crisis in response to Washington's escalation in Vietnam. America's Asian focus had left her Atlantic flank vulnerable to Soviet penetration. Israel refused to plant her flag in Saigon, American rabbis led the peace movement and the President threatened to withdraw his support for Israel. The Palestinians embarked on a Vietnamese inspired 'people's war' and Moscow interpreted Israeli retaliation as support for US policy in Vietnam. The Six Day War turned Israel into a Soviet nuclear target and transformed some liberals into Neo-Conservatives

    Abstract: The collapse of communism and the disintegration of the USSR, created a new geopolitical reality, a new international environment, and a new set of international relations. This book is about Russia's foreign relations. It examines the factors that determine Russia's foreign policy, such as the economy and domestic politics. It devotes special attention to the so-called 'Russian idea' - a foreign policy determinant largely overlooked by western politicians and analysts. It attempts such an analysis by applying Russian rather than Western criteria because we are dealing here with a country with a unique culture and history

    Abstract: Early transition was characterized by debate over shock therapy and gradualism as alternative reform strategies. Other important debates concerned the nature of the former USSR. Was it ever Socialist and what were its laws of motion? What implications does the old system have for the course of post-communist reforms? These are among the key issues analysed in this book, through a mix of conceptual analysis and an interesting selection of country studies

    DDC: 320.941
    Keywords: Political science ; Great Britain Politics and government
    Abstract: The study of central government has been dominated by the recurring questions of Prime Ministerial versus Cabinet government and civil service versus ministerial power. Using the idea of 'power dependence' this book challenges these simplicities to provide a definitive assessment of - and introduction to - power and policy at the core of British political life. It undermines traditional approaches by demonstrating that power in the core executive is complex, and flows between actors and institutions. The Prime Minister can only exercise power with the support of the Cabinet, and ministers and officials are often partners rather than competitors

    Abstract: Throughout the world there are efforts both large and small to address ethnic conflicts-identity based disputes between groups who are unable to live side-by-side in the same state. This book brings together a collection of case studies on interventions in ethnic conflicts throughout the world in which the nature of the state is a core concern (Turkey, Russia, Macedonia, Guatemala, Israel, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, South Africa, US) and asks how the projects themselves understand success and failure in ethnic conflict resolution. It emphasises the complexity and importance of better understanding ways in which small-scale interventions can sometimes have a large impact on large-scale ethnic conflict, and how the goals of the intervenors shift as the participants redefine the identities and interest at stake

    Abstract: In the context of a new global order where the logic of the market reigns virtually unopposed, there is a clear need for original thinking that might reinvigorate a progressive political project. This collection of essays brings together the work of a number of leading scholars who are concerned to construct a convincing basis for incisive criticism today. These contributors represent the most vibrant and influential of contemporary critical perspectives: egalitarian liberalism, socialism, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics and critical theory

    Abstract: The relation of revolutions to international relations is central to modern history. Revolutions have, as much as war or nationalism, shaped the development of world politics. Equally, revolutions have been, in cause, ideology and consequence, international events. By putting the international politics of revolution centre stage, Fred Halliday's book makes a major contribution to the understanding of both revolution and world politics

    Abstract: Does the Labour Government's commitment to Freedom of Information mean the end of excessive secrecy in the UK? Why has Britain finally decided to join the many other countries that enjoy a 'right to know'? This book places the current UK debate over open government in its political context. Robertson argues that just as secrecy reflected the interests of the powerful, so too does freedom of information. This is a radical and challenging alternative to the conventional view that open government is concerned with empowering 'the people'

    Abstract: Based on exhaustive research, this book explains how the European Union makes decisions in seven major policy sectors. Written in a clear, user-friendly style, it brings the EU alive for a student and non-specialist audience. The book's central themes are that informal norms often matter more than formal rules, agency often matters more than structure, and abrupt change often punctuates deadlock. It offers a theoretically-based introduction to the lively, humorous and fascinating politics of a unique experiment in modern governance

Governments face the dilemma of how to help firms compete without falling back into failed dirigiste policies. Based on recent findings on the importance of inter-firm cooperation, public-private collaboration and local policies in boosting competitiveness, this book analyzes how much these elements explain the new dynamism of two agroindustrial sectors in Argentina and Chile, dairy and fresh fruit respectively

    Abstract: Millions of people around the Asia-Pacific region are suffering from the twin effects of globalization and exclusionary nationality laws. Some are migrant workers without rights in host countries; some are indigenous peoples who are not accorded their full rights in their own countries. Yet others are refugees escaping from regimes that have no respect for human rights. This collection of essays discusses the ways in which citizenship laws in the region might be made consistent with human dignity. It considers the connectedness of national belonging and citizenship in East and Southeast Asian and Pacific states including Australia; the impact of mass migration, cultural homogenization and other effects of globalization on notions of citizenship; and possibilities of commitment to a transnational democratic citizenship that respects cultural difference

    Abstract: This book examines some of the important linguistic changes that have taken place in Eastern Europe since 1991. Most of the papers deal with Russia, which has undergone a particularly complex process of re-adjustment. Though it is early to draw definitive conclusions, the contributions provide a preliminary understanding of the new language situation of post-Soviet Russia. Of the remaining papers one compares Russian, Ukrainian, one examines Komi-Permiak, while one looks more generally at language and society

Based on authentic recordings made on location in Beijing, it exposes the learner to the genuine sound of the language, supported by carefully explained notes and scripted studio recordings with a wealth of practice activities. Unlike other Mandarin Chinese courses it focuses heavily on listening and speaking skills, backed up by simple, clear but short grammar explanations and exercises. One page in each of the fifteen units is devoted to providing fascinating background detail about China and the Chinese. Pinyin is used throughout rather than the Chinese characters

    Abstract: Referendums and Democratic Government is the most systematic analysis of the referendum so far. The referendum phenomenon is approached from different perspectives: social choice theory, theories of democracy, a comparative study on 22 democracies, and in-depth case studies of Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland. The referendum is not a unitary phenomenon but it serves various functions and different normative goals in the political systems studied. This variation may largely be explained by the differences in the initiating and agenda-setting procedures

The book first considers how Marxism has engaged with various critiques including Postmodernism, New Right theory and Feminism before assessing its continuing utility as a framework for analysis of a range of substantive issues from class and the state to culture, ecology and globalization

    Abstract: This book examines the politics and policies of the Major governments from 1990 to 1997. It examines how and why the Major governments sought to reform the civil service, local government, education, social security, and industrial relations, and the extent to which such reform constituted a continuation of Thatcherism. It also considers the problems experienced by John Major in leading and managing the parliamentary Conservative party, with Europe proving particularly problematic for his premiership

    Abstract: How much does Tony Blair owe to Anthony Crosland? The author of The Future of Socialism , who died suddenly as Foreign Secretary in 1977, remains the major philosophical inspiration and reference point for the left. To what extent is New Labour fashioned in Crosland's image? What can the Blair government learn from his writings and ministerial achievements? An all-star cast of sixteen authors examine Crosland's legacy in political theory and political practice and point to numerous ways in which his message remains relevant to policy-makers today. The contributors include Gordon Brown, Roy Hattersley, Michael Young, Raymond Plant, David Lipsey, Brian Brivati and Tony Wright. Susan Crosland contributes a moving postscript

    Abstract: Grenier offers a better understanding of the causes of revolution in El Salvador through an analysis of the central role of ideas and ideologues. The insurgency was not merely the charismatic embodiment of structurally determined processes, as it is commonly suggested, it was the expression of a distinct and forceful political will. The focus is placed on the period of emergence of insurgency (roughly, the 1970s and early 1980s), a period too often confounded (and not only in the Salvadoran case) with subsequent periods of the revolutionary cycle

    Abstract: Caught between underdevelopment, poverty and environmental degradation, and the need for exploiting their natural resources for development, Africa has, during the last two decades, been engaged in a serious effort to integrate environment and development. The nine case studies (Botswana, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Tanzania, Sudan, Uganda and Zambia) presented in this book explore the complexity involved in environmental planning and policy in one of the World's poorest regions. The authors articulate an informed debate, with new conclusions and alternative policy recommendations

    Abstract: The abrupt collapse and dissolution of the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD), the party which governed Spain during the crucial period of the transition to democracy (1977-82), is one of the most extraordinary events in the history of European party politics. This book develops an original theoretical framework for the study of party institutionalisation, and draws on a wide range of empirical sources to offer new insights into the causes of the UCD's collapse

    Abstract: A unique focus on the relationship between religion and political culture in the Third World using a comparative and thematic approach. Specific issues of religion-politics interaction in the Third World in recent times include: the rise of Islamic fundamentalist groups throughout the Middle East and other parts of the Muslim world; the political effects of the decline of Catholicism and the rapid growth of Protestant evangelical sects in Latin America; communal conflict between Hindu nationalist groups, and the politicisation of Buddhism in South East Asia. The common effect of such developments is to challenge existing forms of relationship between states and societies with religion used as a political resource

    Abstract: A topical and authoritative investigation of the Irish language and identity in Northern Ireland. The phrase 'our own language' has come to symbolize the importance of the Irish language to Irish identity for many Nationalists in Northern Ireland. However, different interests compete to have their version of the meaning and importance of the Irish language accepted. This book investigates the role of the Irish language movement in the social construction of competing versions of Irish political and cultural identity in Northern Ireland, arguing that for some Nationalists, the Irish language has become an alternative point of political access and expression

    Abstract: The Sandinista revolution brought dramatic social, economic and political changes to Nicaragua in the 1980s, but in the wake of the electoral defeat of the FSLN in 1990 the revolution has struggled to survive in the face of challenges from the Chamorro administration, the US government, and the International Monetary Fund. Gains of the revolution in health care, education, Atlantic Coast autonomy, agrarian reform, and other areas have been systematically eroded. However, significant efforts have also been mounted, especially in grass roots organizing and by women's organizations, to protect the revolution's achievements. Through a series of articles based on current research, seven experts on contemporary Nicaragua draw a balance sheet on the gains of Sandinista revolution achieved by 1990 and assess the current status of the revolutionary project

    Abstract: The Colonial Legacy in Somalia is an investigation into the relationship between Rome and Mogadishu, from the period of colonial administration to the recent dramatic events of Operation Restore Hope. It defines the first Italian incursions in the Horn of Africa, the history of the expansionist plans of an imperial late comer, such as Italy, and explores the decade of the Trusteeship Administration from 1950-1960 when Italy tried to introduce a new state system in Mogadishu: It analyzes the events of the 1970s and 1980s when Siad Barre's regime, in spite of his repressive and violent attitude, enjoyed strong support from the former colonial power. The book demonstrates a love-hate relationship between Rome and Mogadishu in the colonial and postcolonial period and examines the consequences of this interaction

    Abstract: An up-to-date critical assessment of the 'New Labour' phenomena. It assesses the impact of Labour's 'modernizers' in three crucial areas: changes within the Labour party itself, the reformation of the British state, and the influence on particular areas of policy. The essays do not seek to provide unequivocal answers to the questions raised by the arrival of New Labour and their initial period in office, but provide a debate between the contributors over the nature and significance of these changes. The book is a wide-ranging and accessible account of the political phenomena which will lead Britain into the twenty-first century

    Abstract: Ethnicity and Nationalism in Africa features a series of 'constructivist' contributions by leading scholars in the field of ethnicity and nationalism, and explores the differences among those who have come to be known as 'constructivists'. The contributors reflect upon ongoing methodological debates in ethnography, historiography, and political theory. They demonstrate the diversity of concepts and methods within constructivism, and assess the political implications of the concepts themselves. The debate between them is inter-disciplinary, critical and innovative, and should be of value to anyone interested in the study of ethnicity and nationalism

This text examines the efforts of the Reagan administration to recover its public credibility in the 12 months following the exposure of controversial covert operations. Via comparative analysis it explores the impact of scandal upon the presidential office, the problems which confronted President Reagan during Iran-Contra and the centrality of damage-control efforts to the well-being of the modern presidency

    Abstract: The events of recent years have demonstrated beyond doubt not only that ethnic pluralism presents major problems for the management of political systems, but that it is also a major cause of their failure and disintegration. This timely and topical book discusses the general issue of ethnic pluralism and considers a range of types of multi-ethnic society within a common analytical framework. It then examines the responses of governments to the problems of ethnic diversity and assesses the effects of ethnic conflict on the development and viability of states
