Soft Governance, International Organizations and Education Policy Convergence - Tonia Bieber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Soft Governance, International Organizations and Education Policy Convergence - Tonia Bieber - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the extent to which international organizations have shaped reforms in education and training in federalist countries with regards to policy convergence. In advanced democracies, international organizations have become increasingly influential in government activity. This also applies to policy fields that have traditionally been nearly exclusively regulated by the nation-state. How strong is their influence in policy fields like education where they rely on purely soft governance to stimulate national policies? From a political science perspective, three major initiatives are analyzed: the OECD’s PISA study, the European Bologna process and the European Union’s Copenhagen process. Within a few years, these initiatives have contributed to deep transformations within the education arena. This book elucidates the processes in which nation-states comply with these initiatives, using the examples of Switzerland and the United States. div

Coca-Globalization - R. Foster - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Coca-Globalization - R. Foster - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book explores globalization through a historical and anthropological study of how familiar soft drinks such as Coke and Pepsi became valued as more than mere commodities. Foster discusses the transnational operations of soft drink companies and, in particular, the marketing of soft drinks in Papua New Guinea, a country only recently opened up to the flow of brand name consumer goods. Based on field observations and interviews, as well as archival and library research, this book is of interest to anyone concerned about the cultural consequences and political prospects of globalization, including new forms of consumer citizenship and corporate social responsibility.

A Global Doll's House - Joanne Tompkins - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Global Doll's House - Joanne Tompkins - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll''s House , Henrik Ibsen''s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play''s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play''s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play''s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway''s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

Venezuela, ALBA, and the Limits of Postneoliberal Regionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean - Asa Cusack - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Venezuela, ALBA, and the Limits of Postneoliberal Regionalism in Latin America and the Caribbean - Asa Cusack - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation, functioning, and impact of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America (ALBA), cornerstone of Venezuelan foreign policy and standard-bearer of "postneoliberal" regionalism during the "Left Turn" in Latin America and the Caribbean (1998-2016). It reveals that cooperation via ALBA''s regionalised social missions, state multinationals, development bank, People''s Trade Agreement, SUCRE virtual currency, and Petrocaribe soft-loan scheme has often been hampered by complexity and conflict between the national political economies of Ecuador, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Antigua and Barbuda, and especially Venezuela. Shared commitments to endogenous development, autonomy within mutlipolarity, and novel sources of legitimacy are undermined by serious deficiencies in control and accountability, which stem largely from the defining influence of Venezuela''s dysfunctional economy and governance. This dual dependency on Venezuela leaves the future of ALBA hanging in the balance.
