In an age of globalization and privatization, local governments and municipalities are searching to define their social role and place. In an aging society such as Canada, arguing that promoting the legal rights of older persons should be part of the legal authority of the municipal government is not simple. It is easier to abide by the position…

Four main points are made. First, that ERA itself was of huge strategic rather than substantive importance as far as privatization is…

Harris, Douglas N.; Herrington, Carolyn D.; Albee, Amy – Educational Policy, 2007

Even with this fertile…

Vouchers, Tests, Loans, Privatization: Will They Help Tackle Corruption in Russian Higher Education?
Osipian, Ararat L. – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2009
Higher education in Russia is currently being reformed. A standardized computer-graded test and educational vouchers were introduced to make higher education more accessible, fund it more effectively, and reduce corruption in admissions to public colleges. The voucher project failed and the test faces furious opposition. This paper considers…

Piazza, Roberta – European Journal of Education, 2010
Economic growth is stimulated through learning. In "the learning economies" of those European regions that chose to develop their human and intellectual capital wisely, benefits have been visible.
