Leven, Bozena – American Journal of Business Education, 2010
Prior to Poland's transition from central planning to a market system, which began in 1990, schools of business were non-existent in that country.

All universities…

Two imperatives form the basis of the present paper. The first is the market-driven imperative, vital to production and value-chain development.

Hartmann-Mahmud, Lori – PS: Political Science and Politics, 2009
Neoliberalism is one of the most pervasive and contested concepts of our contemporary era. Thus, it is essential for students to gain an understanding of its history, meaning, assumptions, and policy prescriptions. In addition to recognizing the importance of neoliberalism in the current political discourse, I argue that the polarized responses to…

Kelderman, Eric – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2009
As state tax revenues plummet, some lawmakers and higher-education leaders are once again looking at loosening the bonds between state governments and public colleges to save money and give colleges the freedom to bolster their bottom lines in new ways. Over the past two decades, college officials have often lamented the growing need to secure…

Dima, Ana-Maria – Management in Education, 2009
Privatisation in higher education is not a new phenomenon for Western European countries. Authors like Geiger (1986), Levy (2008) and Altbach (1999) made challenging predictions in the 1970s and early 1980s that the private sector would inexorably diminish in size and significance. These predictions were triggered by globalisation and the…

Goodman, Robin Truth – Review of Education, Pedagogy & Cultural Studies, 2010
In 2008, the Florida state legislature, by a nearly unanimous vote, rushed passage on a statute that allowed sex segregation in public school classrooms. According to the version of the bill that passed through the Florida House, sex-segregated public school classrooms would be an expansion of school choice and would be implemented only…

This article examines how notions of "child" and "childhood" are produced in relation to recent early childhood policies in Ontario, Canada.

Henig, Jeffrey R. – Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education, 2009
Recent state and national policy has both reflected and helped to further an image of localities as parochial, reactionary, ineffective, and appropriately marginalized in the enterprise of school reform. Growing state and national roles (on one hand) and growing market and private sector inroads (on another) have the potential to undermine…

Fredriksson, Anders – European Educational Research Journal, 2009
The entrance of for-profit charter schools into the public educational system is one of the most recent manifestations of market-based reforms in public education.
