“Pursuing Community Resilience through Outcome-Based Public Policies: Challenges and Opportunities for the Design of Performance Management Systems”
2017
The purpose of this symposium is to contribute to the ongoing debate on this topic in the public administration literature by exploring the contribution of performance management in the implementation of effective governance systems that may foster community resilience, especially to social “wicked” problems. The set of articles hosted in this issue provides a variegated mix of ideas and experiences in this field, encompassing different countries (from Northern to Southern Europe, and Canada), sectors (including labor, healthcare, tourism, and public utilities), and methodological approaches. An empirical perspective is adopted by the authors, involving case studies, interviews, and field r…
Travail des élèves et performance scolaire
2010
National audience; Le rendement scolaire du travail scolaire, exprimé par le rapport entre le score à une évaluation internationale et le temps de travail total des élèves, varie beaucoup d'un pays à l'autre. les pays où les élèves déclarent travailler le plus, qui sont aussi les pays où la religiosité est la plus forte, sont ceux où les scores sont les plus faibles. Une part de ce constat, qu'il est impossible de déterminer précisément, peut cependant s'expliquer par un biais dans les déclarations des élèves. Entre élèves au sein des pays, le temps de travail varie plus ou moins selon le pays, et de façon plus ou moins liée au score des élèves d'une part, à leur héritage social d'autre par…

Competence Aspects of Responsible State Institutions
2014
One of the specific features of the law on IGOs relates to the fact that competence of state institutions of EU Member States for prosecution of the infringements of IGOs is envisaged within their jurisdictions. Therefore, in the case of IGOs, their infringements will be prosecuted both by right-holders of IGOs and state institutions of EU Member States. Considering these both prosecution possibilities, right-holders of IGOs have a choice either to prosecute infringements of IGOs themselves, i.e. bringing a case to a court if out-of-court settlement procedures were not successful or were not even chosen, or to apply to a state institution having competence to prosecute infringements of IGOs…
El conflicto entre el Tribunal Constitucional Federal Alemán y el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea:
2020
El Tribunal Constitucional Federal alemán emitió el 5 de mayo de 2020 una larga y dura sentencia (2 BvR 859/15), que viene a contradecir y desautorizar la Sentencia del Tribunal de Justicia de la UE de 11 de diciembre de 2018 (C-493/17, Weiss; ECLI:EU:C:2018:1000). El Tribunal Constitucional Federal no duda en calificar de incomprensible, carente de sentido y, desde luego, ultra vires la decisión del Tribunal de Justicia y el modo en el que se produjo el razonamiento del Alto Tribunal europeo. Lo que está en cuestión en el fondo es el Programa de Compras de Activos del Sector Público (PSPP) del BCE y la propia capacidad del BCE y del SEBC para adoptar ese tipo de decisiones, que pueden exce…
Interrelation Between European Union Protection and National Protection
2014
In addition to registration requirements, registration procedure, and the protection of registered IGOs, namely PDOs and PGIs, as well as protected indications of origin (within the Aromatised Wines Regulation), the EU law on IGOs also includes the regulation of other aspects. Competence of state institutions of EU Member States to ensure the observance of the regulation of IGOs as it is provided in the EU law or interrelation with other EU legal acts relating to IGOs already discussed in Part II of this book should be mentioned among such aspects.

2014
RESUMEN: Para mejorar el aprendizaje, los avances tecnológicos ponen a disposición de los agentes educativos recursos emergentes, los cuales requieren del desarrollo de competencias o destrezas básicas por parte de los estudiantes y suponen un reto para toda la comunidad educativa. En este contexto, la competencia mediática se convierte en la clave para fomentar un uso responsable, eficiente y democrático de los recursos mediáticos por parte de los ciudadanos. Se presentan aquí los resultados de un proyecto de investigación realizado en España, en el que se han diseñado diversos instrumentos de evaluación de la competencia mediática de estudiantes, profesorado, así como de padres y madres. …

Gender and the Marketisation of Higher Education: A Nordic Tale
2021
This chapter investigates the gender differences in managerial practices across three Nordic countries: Finland, Norway, and Sweden. It analyses two aspects: (1) perceptions regarding competition, and (2) motivations for undertaking academic work. The chapter is based on an empirical dataset which was compiled from national surveys (conducted in 2015 and 2016) of senior academic staff (professors, associate professors, and academic leaders), which aimed to assess the perceived effects of recent government-led reforms which focused on performance management and managerial practices.
Ranking Lists and European Framework Programmes
2011
The operational context for higher education institutions has become increasingly competitive: universities have to compete on national and international markets for students, staff, funding and prestige. The emergence of various markets, market mechanisms and competition in higher education have become a well-established and much discussed fact, and have shaped the dynamics of the higher education arena (Enders & Jongbloed 2007; Texeira et al. 2004) In a global competition of knowledge societies, higher education institutions have been vested with the task of economic and social change, and are expected to contribute to the competitiveness of nationstates as well as their local communities.
