Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

Open to the Public grows out of concern with evaluation in the public arena and the struggle to understand how best to use the information it generates. Many concepts and models of evaluation how to undertake it and how to make it more useful were developed before government performance became of so much interest to the public. In fact it is arguable that recent changes in the forms shapes structures and media through which the information developed in the process of evaluation becomes public require new ways of thinking about its role in society. What is the role of evaluative information in the public arena today? How when and under what circumstances does the actual use of evaluative information take place and what are the forces at play? By compiling and comparing international case studies this book considers forces that make the information produced in evaluations increasing open to the public. They provide insights into the many factors that influence evaluation and its use in the public arena. Their case studies include such current topics as: spin doctoring of information by the media and this practice's relationship to evaluation studies the hotly debated issue of school performance and information about it aired in the public arena and the controversial link between budget processing and government performance. This book will be invaluable to those conducting evaluations public employees and commissioners and those studying public administration. | Open to the Public Evaluation in the Public Sector

Hidden Markets Public Policy and the Push to Privatize Education

Across the United States test publishers software companies and research firms continue to take advantage of the revenues made available by federal policies like the No Child Left Behind Act Race to the Top and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. In effect the education industry has assumed a central place in the day-to-day governance and administration of public schools—a previously hidden trend that has begun to be a ubiquitous component of public education. Drawing on analytic tools Hidden Markets examines specific domains that the education industry has had particular influence on—home schooling remedial instruction management consulting test development data management and staff development. With updated and new material added this second edition also highlights how technology and technology policy shape the conditions for teachers’ work the role of natural disasters as education market opportunities and the connection between racism and educational privatization. Burch's analysis demonstrates that only when we subject the education industry to systematic and in-depth critical analysis can we begin to demand more corporate accountability and organize to halt the slide of education funds into the market. Additional updates include: Discussion of the role that policy elites play in allowing CEOS to regulate the student identity market Examination of the rise of online tutoring engineered in part by the No Child Left Behind Act New chapter that offers an updated road map for policymakers and activists concerned about the issues raised within the book | Hidden Markets Public Policy and the Push to Privatize Education

Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment

Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment

Open Building is an internationally recognized approach to the design of buildings and building complexes with roots in the way the ordinary built environment grows and regenerates. The Open Building approach recognizes that both stability and change are realities to be managed in the contemporary built environment. Buildings – and the neighborhoods they occupy – are not static during the most stable times or during times of rapid social and technical change. They are living organisms that need constant adjustments to remain attractive safe and valuable. Using case studies of built projects from around the world this book explains the Open Building approach and discusses important characteristics of everyday built environment that the Open Building approach designs for. It also presents a key method that can be used to put the approach into use. It addresses questions such as: • How can we design large projects for inevitable change? • How can we balance the demands of large projects for efficient implementation with the need for ‘fine-grained’ decision-making control? • How can we separate design tasks one task being the design of what should last a century the other task being the design of more mutable units of occupancy? • How can we identify and share architectural themes and at the same time make variations on them? • How can we use the Open Building approach to steward the earth’s scarce resources and contribute to a circular economy that benefits all people? This book is an essential resource for practitioners investors and developers regulators builders product manufacturers and educators interested in why the Open Building approach matters and how to practice Open Building. | Open Building for Architects Professional Knowledge for an Architecture of Everyday Environment

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

Open Borders Unlocked Cultures Romanian Roma Migrants in Western Europe

The book examines some of the dilemmas surrounding Europe’s open borders migrations and identities through the prism of the Roma – Europe’s most dispersed and socially marginalised population. The volume challenges some of the myths surrounding the Roma as a ‘problem population’ and places the focus instead on the context of European policy and identity debates. It comes to the conclusion that the migration of Roma and the constitution of their communities is shaped by European policy as much as and often more so than by the cultural traits of the Roma themselves. The chapters compare case studies of Roma migrants in Spain Italy France and Britain and the impact of migration on the origin communities in Romania. The study combines historical and ethnographic methods with insights from migration studies drawing on a unique multi-site collaborative project that for the first time gave Roma participants a voice in shaping research into their communities.

The Open Church

The Open Church

Michael Novak's eyewitness report on the second and pivotal session of Vatican II in 1964 vividly inter weaves pageantry politics and theology. An unusually well-informed lay intellectual who had earned a theological degree just before the Council Novak applauded the purposes of Pope John XXIII and his successor Paul VI-to throw open the windows of the church. In this report he coined the classic description of the foes of the reforms at Vatican II as the party of nonhistorical orthodoxy emphasizing the eternal and unchanging neglecting history and contingency. The author recounts many moments of high drama-Pope Paul VI's opening speech the vote on the collegiality of bishops the plea of Cardinal Bea on behalf of the chapter on Jews and Bishop De Smedt's defense of religious freedom. His colorful chapter on the American bishops in 1964 serves as a fascinating benchmark as do his many insights into the new role of the laity. His final chapter is a moving tribute to the Open Church engaging the contemporary world and his new introduction brings this report up to date. This work will be of compelling interest to those interested in the post-conciliar fall of Communism under the great John Paul II-who took his name from his two predecessors at Vatican II. The winner of the million-dollar Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion (1994) Michael Novak is a theologian author and former U. S. ambassador. He currently holds the George Frederick Jewett Chair in Religion and Public Policy at the American Enterprise Institute in Washington D. C. where he is director of social and political studies. His writings have appeared in every major Western language and in Chinese Bengali Korean and Japanese. Also available from Transaction are his Catholic Social Thought and Liberal Institutions The Experience of Nothingness The Guns of Lattimer Unmeltable Ethnics Belief and Unbelief and Choosing Presidents.

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

The Routledge Companion to Free Will

Questions concerning free will are intertwined with issues in almost every area of philosophy from metaphysics to philosophy of mind to moral philosophy and are also informed by work in different areas of science (principally physics neuroscience and social psychology). Free will is also a perennial concern of serious thinkers in theology and in non-western traditions. Because free will can be approached from so many different perspectives and has implications for so many debates a comprehensive survey needs to encompass an enormous range of approaches. This book is the first to draw together leading experts on every aspect of free will from those who are central to the current philosophical debates to non-western perspectives to scientific contributions and to those who know the rich history of the subject.

Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure Open Building in Practice

Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure Open Building in Practice

Architects and healthcare clients are increasingly coming to recognize that once built healthcare facilities are almost immediately subject to physical alterations which both respond to and affect healthcare practices. This calls into question the traditional ways in which these facilities are designed. If functions and practices are subject to alteration the standard approach of defining required functions and practices before acquiring facilities is obsolete. We need other starting points working methods and ways of collaborating. Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure presents these new approaches. Advocating an infrastructure theory of built environment transformation in which design and investment decisions are organized hierarchically and transcend short-term use the book draws the practice and research of a number of architects from around the world. Written by experts with experience in policy making designing building and managing complex healthcare environments it shows professionals in architecture engineering healthcare and facilities management how to enhance the long-term usefulness of their campuses and their building stock and how to strengthen their physical assets with the capacity to accommodate a quickly evolving healthcare sector. | Healthcare Architecture as Infrastructure Open Building in Practice

Posthumanist Research and Writing as Agentic Acts of Inclusion Knowledge Forced Open

Posthumanist Research and Writing as Agentic Acts of Inclusion: Knowledge Forced Open looks at the true value and possibilities of 'learning' and knowledge within the emerging field of New Public Governance by examining through a posthumanist lens and other perspectives the paradoxical knowledge situation we are in today. This book addresses the constitution of knowledge as an uncertain process understanding text as spaces for entanglements of knowledge – knowledge not as certainty but as uncertainty – and writing as the act and art of engaging with these entanglements. Through examining research from multiple perspectives text stories as narrative are constructed as data – showing ethnographic engagements between writers readers and texts. The authors show how to construct messy entanglements of continual always already constant thinking and becomings through the art and science of research and writing as knowledging processes. Suitable for scholars of posthumanist thinking in Education and the social sciences this book challenges the academy to look at new ways of thinking with and through knowledge and showing the importance of such processes. | Posthumanist Research and Writing as Agentic Acts of Inclusion Knowledge Forced Open

The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom

The Church Authority and Foucault addresses the problem of the Church’s enmeshment with sovereign power which can lead to marginalization. Breaking new ground Ogden uses Foucault’s approach to power and knowledge to interpret the church leader’s significance as the guardian of knowledge. This can become privileged knowledge under the spell of sovereign power and with the complicity of clergy and laity in search of sovereigns. Inevitably such a culture leads to a sense of entitlement for leaders and conformity for followers. All in the name of obedience. The Church needs to change in order to fulfil its vocation. Instead of a monarchy what about Church as an open space of freedom? This book then is a theological enterprise which cultivates practices of freedom for the sake of the other. This involves thinking differently by exploring catalysts for change which include critique space imagination and wisdom. In the process Ogden uses a range of sources analysing discourse gossip ritual territory masculinity and pastoral power. In all the work of Michel Foucault sets the tone for a fresh ecclesiological critique that will appeal to theologians and clergy alike. | The Church Authority and Foucault Imagining the Church as an Open Space of Freedom
