What are world wide the main trends that will or should have an impact on the future of academia? What is expected from academia by different stakeholders in the years to come? These and related questions are addressed in CHEPS¿s report ¿Academia in the 21st century. An analysis of trends and perspectives in higher education and research¿. The report is the outcome of a challenging project commissioned by the Advisory Council for Science and Technology Policy (Dutch abbreviation AWT). In the report the following seven trends in higher education have been analysed: 1) the development of information and communication technologies, 2) the marketisation in higher education and science, including the changing roles of governments, 3) globalisation, internationalisation and regionalisation, 4) and advancing network society (e.g. rise of consortia, strategic alliances, etc.), 5) an advancing knowledge society, 6) socio-cultural trends, and 7) demographical trends. In the concluding chapter general observations and reflections have been put forward. They concern the issues of differentiation at the system and organisational level, excellence and diversity, and the role of universities in a knowledge society.

Über Metapolitik und Metademokratie als elaborierte Formen der Ausgestaltung von Politik nachzudenken, ist gegenwärtig vor allem Gegenstand der Sozialphilosophie. Diese Felder werden hier auch mit Blick auf eine demokratiepolitische Bildung thematisch konkretisiert. Aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und an mehreren Gegenständen werden mögliche Denkformen einer Demokratiepolitik skizziert. Damit wird der Versuch unternommen, den Einsatz einer Demokratiepolitik auf doppelte Weise zu denken: Der problematisierende Zugriff steckt einerseits das Feld der Demokratiepolitik ab und markiert andererseits zukünftige Aufgabenfelder. Der Inhalt Theoretische Diagnosen und Untersuchungen.- Perspektiven einer demokratiepolitischen Didaktik.- Demokratiepolitische Einsatzfelder. Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende der Politikwissenschaft und der Didaktik der Politischen Bildung Die Herausgeber Dr. Werner Friedrichs ist Akademischer Oberrat an der Fakultät Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften der Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg. Dr. Dirk Lange ist Professor für Didaktik der Politischen Bildung an der Leibniz Universität Hannover

Throughout history, the right to education has been a determining and unquestionably necessary factor for the improvement of people; however, as a socio-political process, it has not been free of adversities. In this sense, for more than six decades, Colombia has lived in the context of an internal armed conflict.

Governments worldwide have sought to introduce greater choice and competition as mechanisms to improve the quality of education provision and outcomes. However, there is considerable cross-national variation in education policy, particularly regarding the role of local government. To explain such differences, this article focuses on recent reforms in compulsory education in England and Sweden. It shows that although governments in both countries have advocated choice, competition and participation, education reform has led to the centralisation of school governance in England but decentralisation in Sweden. Drawing on the concept of 'scalecraft' as a specific form of 'statecraft', it argues that these differences in the rescaling of education policy reflect different conceptions of central–local relations and the role of local government. More broadly, the article shows how national governments strategically use scalar reorganisation (scalecraft) to support broader political goals (statecraft), contributing to a better understanding of the spatial dimensions of public policy reform.
