Mapping Researcher Mobility: Measuring Research Collaboration Among Apec Economies, Ali Radloff
Mapping Researcher Mobility: Measuring Research Collaboration Among Apec Economies, Ali Radloff
Ali Radloff
Researcher mobility is an important form of cross-border education (CBE). It has the potential to generate significant benefits for economies as expert scholars and scientists come together to solve some of the most pressing challenges in the contemporary world. Among members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Community (APEC) researcher mobility can strengthen ties between economies and enable the minimisation of barriers to economic growth and sustainability. There are not currently any comparable or rigorous data available on researcher mobility among APEC economies. Proxy measures are needed to gain a sense of the extent to which researchers in APEC economies are collaborating …
Enhancing Cross-Border Higher Education Institution Mobility In The Apec Region, Sarah Richardson
Enhancing Cross-Border Higher Education Institution Mobility In The Apec Region, Sarah Richardson
Dr Sarah Richardson
This report presents findings of a study of the policy context around higher education institution (HEI) mobility in eight APEC economies – China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, the Philippines, Singapore and Viet Nam. The report provides insights into different policy contexts gathered from desktop research and from interviews with 68 participants. These all had direct involvement in HEI mobility in the eight economies in the study, including through senior positions in ministries of education, in bodies aligned to ministries, in accreditation and quality assurance agencies, and in foreign and local HEIs. The report identifies regulations, practices, policies, legislative contexts and …

Exercise science students from the College of Health Professions and one student from the John F. Welch College of Business spent this past spring break on a mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. This was a pilot trip initiated by Valerie Wherley, an exercise science professor at the University, to determine whether or not Oaxaca would be a good fit for service learning for the exercise science program.

Iccs 2009 Encyclopedia : Approaches To Civic And Citizenship Education Around The World, John Ainley, Wolfram Schulz, Tim Friedman
Dr Wolfram Schulz
The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS 2009) investigated the ways in which countries prepare their young people to undertake their roles as citizens. It studied student knowledge and understanding of civics and citizenship as well as student attitudes, perceptions, and activities related to civics and citizenship. ICCS also examined differences among countries in relation to these outcomes of civic and citizenship education, and it explored how differences across countries relate to student characteristics, school and community contexts, and national characteristics. Thirty-eight countries participated in ICCS 2009. Among these were five from Asia, 26 from Europe, six from Latin …

La Universidad Constructora De Estado, Imanol Ordorika
Imanol Ordorika
This book presents a critical analysis of State Building Universities (SBU’s) by looking at the origins, development and contemporary crisis of Mexico’s National Autonomous University under the economic and political constraints posed by neoliberal policies and globalization. The UNAM, as well as other SBU’s, has faced enormous difficulties in order to maintain its centrality on State projects.

Una Nueva Hegemonía: Gestación De La Ley Orgánica De 1944-45, Imanol Ordorika
Imanol Ordorika
La Universidad que hoy conocemos tomó forma más notablemente a partir del final de la Revolución Mexicana. Los grupos y fuerzas póliticas que se forjaron a su interior fueron parte de las diversas contiendas que dieron lugar al estatus jurídico que se consolidó en la Ley de 1945 y que persiste hasta nuestros días. Las tradiciones y discursos que emergieron en su interior, así como los grupos y fuerzas que la dominaron, se gestaron durante las distintas etapas de la evolución del Estado posrevolucionario y el desarrollo del sistema político autoritario mexicano.
Las Políticas De Fomento A La Ciencia Y Tecnología En México Y Brasil: Un Estudio De Caso De La Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México Y La Universidad De São Paulo, Marion Lloyd
Marion Lloyd
The thesis analyzes the science and technology policies in Mexico and Brazil from the 1930s to the present and their impact on the character, missions and scientific production of Latin America´s two leading universities: the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) and the University of Sao Paulo (USP). The author concludes that major differences in those polices, as well as in higher education policies in both countries, largely explain the vastly different character of the two institutions. While Brazil has pursued ambitious, long-term S&T policies since the 1930s, and more intensively since the late 1960s, Mexico has largely paid lip …
The Limits Of University Autonomy: Power And Politics At The Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México, Imanol Ordorika
The Limits Of University Autonomy: Power And Politics At The Universidad Nacional Autónoma De México, Imanol Ordorika
Imanol Ordorika
The nature and extent of institutional autonomy at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) has been a matter of contention between academics, policy makers and university members for many years. Opinions about governmental influence over the university in Mexico range from absolute autonomy to absolute control. Few of them, however, are founded on research on university-government relations. Most studies of univer- sity autonomy in Mexico are based on classical definitions and pluralist political perspectives that limit a thorough understanding of this relation between the University and the government in the context of an authoritarian State. This article provides an …
