How Far Can Political Liberalism Support Reforms in Higher Education
According to a standard picture in the educational policy and educational ethics literature, justice requires significant alterations to higher-education arrangements, in order to equalize opportunity and benefit badly-off social groups. I argue that, if political liberalism is correct, then a range of higher-education reforms favored by the standard picture lack support. After canvassing the standard picture (section 2), I explain why political …

The politics of everyday China
This book looks at how the contract between the Chinese state and its citizens produces ready compliance and apparent support despite the problems of corruption, food scandals, air pollution and the constraints on personal freedom. It explores the ways in which China's past is presented as both a mandate for political monopoly and a promise of a glorious future. It does so through the voice of China's own people, by exploring the lived experience…
Incremental housing
Purpose This paper analyses the incremental housing process developed at Villa Verde, a housing project designed by the Chilean architecture firm Elemental, whose director Alejandro Aravena received the Pritzker Prize in 2016. This project is conceived within a social housing framework and designed as an affordable “half-house” to be incrementally extended by the owners. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on research undertaken in Au…

Past and Future Directions in Content Area Literacies
In this column, content area literacy scholars Tom Bean and David O'Brien challenge the older “infusion” model of content area literacy with its emphasis on generic strategies. Rather, they argue for and provide examples of projects that draw on the unique dimensions of various disciplines like history, science, and English, particularly in light of the Common Core State Standards. They offer alternative approaches that capitalize on students' in…
Reading Multimodally
Technological changes and the proliferation of digital devices have created new reading experiences for students. The rapid transition from print to digital texts is evident in the movement toward the adoption of an e‐book standard, increasing sales of e‐book readers and tablet devices, and projections that universities and public schools may use more e‐textbooks and e‐book devices than print curricula in the near future. Considering these change…
Entrepreneurial Attitudes in a Post-Communist Transitional Rural Economy
Entrepreneurial Attitudes in a Post-Communist Transitional Rural Economy: The Case of Moldova A sample survey of small and medium-sized farms in Moldova is used to examine the prevalence of different aspects of an "entrepreneurial outlook" in a post-communist transitional economy. Within the range of less than 1 to 100 hectare farms, the most pronounced differences are that operators of larger farms have greater "technical knowledge" of different…
Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks
Today we thrive on an abundance of relatively cheap computing power and have the luxury of wasting most of it. It is quickly becoming not only possible but also financially sound, for educators to significantly complement, supplement, or even replace traditional print curricula with digital print and media, online curricula and websites, and online communication tools. Different generations perceive this abundance in contrasting ways, and these p…
Sources of Income, Mental Health and Quality of Life in Rural Russia
This article reports on a survey examining sources of income and their effects on the mental health and subjective quality of life of residents in nine rural Russian regions. Using conventional measures of depressed mood and respondents' assessments of the quality of their lives in different domains, the authors find that the emergence of a mixed economy, that generates income from salary and wages and household enterprises, as well as government…
Cultural policy as rhetoric and reality
Any understanding of the relationship between place and cultural policy has largely been lost as part of a rhetorical critique of a neo-liberal regeneration which has, in turn, undermined the disciplinary basis of cultural policy. This has had particular consequences for our understanding of the impact of cultural policy in the peripheral north of England. Despite the political realities of geographical peripherality that still persist today, the…
Her Worship
Toronto : University of Toronto Press , 2009 . Pp. 336 , bibliographical references, index. Tom Urbaniak tackles a difficult and complex subject, the relationship between development in Mississauga and Hazel McCallion, together with the resulting effect on Mississauga's growth. His challenge is difficult because the McCallion era in Mississauga politics is in fact the period of massive pressure for development of the city, and complex because of …
Digital Literacies Go to School
Oftentimes it seems that education, as an institution, is populated by persons who work to preserve practices of the past and who do not depend upon or explore the advantages of digital literacies. Digital literacies, however, are here to stay—they are at the core of new literacies—and educators should consider how to best weave together old, new, and future literacies so that young people leave school literate in the ways of school and the ways …
The Geographies of Development Studies and Research
Judging from the phenomenal response by graduates and friends of IDS who took up the Institute's invitation to prognosticate on the future of development research, there might be a temptation to argue that the support IDS enjoys will propel it confidently into the future. Wisely, the IDS40 conference was designed to critique the past and question whether the direction steered over the last 40 years is the right trajectory
University—Government Policy Linkages and the Knowledge-based Approach to Internation Development
This article compares the role of university research and its use by bilateral development agencies in Canada and the United Kingdom. This focus is motivated by the ascendance of a new development paradigm: knowledge-based co-operation. This approach identifies knowledge as the new currency of development assistance and values relationships that foster knowledge creation and sharing. Drawing on recent studies and comparative data, this article an…
Linking indigenous bonding and bridging social capital
O'Brien D. J., Phillips J. L. and Patsiorkovsky V. V. (2005) Linking indigenous bonding and bridging social capital, Regional Studies 39 , 1041–1051. Reconciling indigenous bonding and bridging social capital remains a difficult issue in economic development and global issues of inequality. A failure to address this problem weakens the legitimacy of liberal democratic political institutions. Mancur Olson's Logic of Collective Action (1971) is use…
Household Responses, Regional Diversity and Contemporary Agrarian Reform in Russia
This article analyses divergent patterns of responses using survey data from rural households in three region of Russia. The purpose of this article is to explore how household responses to reform differ in geographically distinct regions. Second, the goal is to compare regional response patterns using a standardized set of reform dimensions: perceptions about winners and losers, responses to land reform opportunities, the structure of household …
Poverty and Adaptation in Rural Russia
Survey data are used to identify different levels of poverty emerging in the adaptation of rural households to the new Russian market economy. Three levels of poverty are described: the absolutely deprived, the deprived and the relatively deprived. Comparisons of the adaptation strategies of these different types of households are made with respect to (a) different sources of income; (b) access to physical capital; (c) household production and sa…

A lógica da suposição e a compreensão do faz-de- conta por parte das crianças
Os estudos sobre a teoria da lógica mental para o raciocínio condicional não revelam se crianças fazem julgamentos que são consistentes com o procedimento semântico dessa teoria para se. Foram realizados dois experimentos com crianças de seis a 11 anos e adultos universitários brasileiros e norte-americanos. Os mesmos foram apresentados a problemas silogísticos de diferentes formas. Os resultados mostram que crianças em idade escolar, como também…

Towards a framework for local democracy in a war‐torn society
This article examines several bilateral and multilateral programmes that were designed to forward El Salvador's transition from a war‐torn society to a democratic polity. Both procedural and substantive democratic strengthening measures were pursued by external donors within the national framework for reconstruction, and independently through larger Central American initiatives. Because links between development and democracy are not clearly unde…
Governing for the Common Wealth? the world Bank's Approach to Poverty and Governance
Two important policy initiatives which the World Bank has been promoting since 1989, good governance and poverty reduction, represent an important policy opportunity – to enhance the accountability of governments to the poor. However, these two policy agendas have by and large avoided addressing power issues behind distributional inequities. Concerns about the efficiency and accountability of public institutions in the Governance agenda seem to b…

Developing Early Reading Skills In Young Aboriginal Children Through Listening Activities
The mastery of beginning reading skills by Aboriginal students is still an area of ongoing concern. The discussion paper released as part of the National Review of Education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people (1994) points to 45% of Aboriginal students having significantly lower levels of achievement in literacy and numeracy than other Australian students despite the intervention programs that have been developed and implemented.
