Arts councils,policy-making and “the local”     

Victoria Durrer  Abigail Gilmore 《Cultural Trends》2019,28(4):317-331

ABSTRACT

In the British Isles, national policies for the arts are primarily viewed as the responsibility of arts councils with statutory duties to distribute state funding that meet the requirements of both “arms-length” principles and national strategic frameworks. This paper explores the tensions between policy making for the nation-state and for “the local” through comparative research on the arts councils (and equivalent bodies) in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland. Drawing on in-depth qualitative interviews with senior representatives from these organisations, it explores their notions of, responsibilities to and affiliations with “the local”. Findings suggest that despite their different models and relationships to the nation-state, and the disparities in the scale of investment, these national policy bodies commonly rely on networked governance to facilitate their relationship to “the local” which risks reproducing national interests, limiting the localised agency of place-based approaches and contributing to a culture of competition within cultural policy.  相似文献

Special educational needs and inclusion,moving forward but standing still? A critical reframing of some key issues     

Alan Hodkinson 《British Journal of Special Education》2020,47(3):308-328

This article draws together my thinking in relation to special educational needs and inclusion that have dominated my practice. The article, through the concept of embodiment, revisits, reviews and reframes the key issues of the construction of special educational needs, inclusion and the ideology that binds them together. Through this exploration, I argue we often seem to move forward with policy while in reality standing still in ensuring the ‘success’ of all of our pupils. By critiquing and reframing taken‐for‐granted assumptions and the sacred words ‘success’ and ‘achievement’, this article maps out the future directions of inclusive education. It concludes with a reflection on my first days as a ‘teacher of special educational needs’ and my work to support Kenny, a student with cerebral palsy. This personal reflection maps out a different form of educational success that perhaps could provide a forward momentum to develop more successful inclusive education policy and practice.  相似文献

任彬彤  徐峰 《许昌学院学报》2005,24(4):98-101

延安日本工农学校是抗战时期中国共产党教育改造日本战俘的一所学校。该校对日俘的改造不仅仅是说服教育，更重要的是凭借中共党人自身的优良作风和良好精神面貌的熏染，实现对日俘战争观和人生观的转变，中国共产党改造日俘的政策，有效地瓦解和削弱了日军的战斗力，壮大了国际反战同盟，为夺取抗战的胜利产生了重要作用。  相似文献   

后冷战时期美国对华政策中的两党政治因素分析     

陈旭 《湖州师范学院学报》2007,29(3):65-67

与西方其他国家的政党制度相比,历史上美国两党制度形成了一些能够影响其政策制定的突出特点。冷战后国际环境出现了新变化,美国将中国视为“潜在对手”,主张遏制中国。适应这一主流舆论,在具体操作层面,两党政治起到了推波助澜的作用。在两党政治下,对华政策往往被两党当作争取各种利益的一张“牌”来利用,从而不可避免地影响到美国的对华外交。  相似文献   

国际贸易理论的发展及其启示   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

冯居君 《商洛学院学报》2007,21(2):125-128

我国对外开放取得很大成就,但是国际环境发生了巨大的变化,使得我国对外贸易出现一系列新问题：出口产品多数是劳动密集型产品,技术含量低,附加值低,使得我国的出口利润很低;出口导向型贸易使得我国经济过分依赖出口,从而引发的贸易摩擦不断,外贸依存度加剧,使得我国经济容易受到国际经济波动的影响。因此我国应该加强自主创新,优化产业结构,增强我国产品在国际市场的竞争力。积极拓展国际市场,扩大内需,从比较优势向竞争优势转化。  相似文献   

Getting ‘What Works’ working: building blocks for the integration of experimental and improvement science     

Amelia Peterson 《International Journal of Research & Method in Education》2016,39(3):299-313

ABSTRACT

As a systemic approach to improving educational practice through research, ‘What Works’ has come under repeated challenge from alternative approaches, most recently that of improvement science. While ‘What Works’ remains a dominant paradigm for centralized knowledge-building efforts, there is need to understand why this alternative has gained support, and what it can contribute. I set out how the core elements of experimental and improvement science can be combined into a strategy to raise educational achievement with the support of evidence from randomized experiments. Central to this combined effort is a focus on identifying and testing mechanisms for improving teaching and learning, as applications of principles from the learning sciences. This article builds on current efforts to strengthen approaches to evidence-based practice and policy in a range of international contexts. It provides a foundation for those who aim to avoid another paradigm war and to accelerate international discussions on the design of systemic education research infrastructure and funding.  相似文献

Explaining the persistence of “decentralisation” of education in Egypt     

《International Journal of Educational Development》2021

This study examines how and why decentralisation remained central to education reform in Egypt over the period 1990–2016 despite the mixed outcome at both the national and international levels. Three decentralisation models were examined: community schools, public-private partnerships and school-based management. Network analysis was combined with a process-tracing approach to identify the key actors and mechanisms causing policy persistence. Analysis revealed international agencies used coercion through funding and persuasion by framing the models to match political sponsors’ interests. There was also bounded-rational learning by national actors from foreign experts and experiences and several complementary mechanisms with minor influence.  相似文献
