IT IS NOW GENERALLY ACCEPTED THAT WESTERN EUROPEAN DEMOCRACIES HAVE EXHIBITED THE TENDENCY OF SECTORISED OR SEGMENTED POLICY-MAKING. IN THE BRITISH CASE THE CLASSIC EXAMPLE OF SECTORISATION WAS PROVIDED BY THE LATE LORD BOYLE WHEN HE DESCRIBED THE NATURE OF THE EDUCATION POLICY PROCESS-NAMELY THAT THE STARTING POINT FOR EDUCATION POLICY WAS IN THE EDUCATIONAL WORLD ITSELF; A VIEW CONFIRMED BY A FORMER LABOUR SECRETARY OF STATE FOR EDUCATION, THE LATE ANTHONY CROSLAND. ALTHOUGH SOME STRAINS HAVE BEEN NOTED IN FARMER-STATE RELATIONS, IT REMAINS THE CASE THAT MUCH AGRICULTURAL POLICY OWES ITS ORIGINS TO THE AGRICULTURE POLICY COMMUNITY - PRIMARILY, IF NO LONGER EXCLUSIVELY, DOMINATED BY THE NFU. THE PHENOMENON OF SECTORISATION IS BY NO MEANS SOLELY A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BRITISH POLITICAL SYSTEM.

"The Rotating European Union Council Presidency and Small Member States explores the opportunities and burdens for small states of holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union. While the functions and the achievements of the Council presidencies have been widely studied on the EU level, this book adopts the inverse and under-researched perspective of looking at the "domestic" impact of the Council presidency on the Member State, specifically small Member States. Combining new institutionalist theoretical approaches under the concept of Europeanisation, and employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, this book explores whether the Council presidency leads to Europeanisation of national polities and politics. More specifically, the book looks at the impact of the Council presidency on national administrations, ministers and public opinion. It suggests that the Council presidency presents a unique opportunity to (re)engage with EU affairs and institutions for Member States, especially the small ones and those holding the position for the first time. This book will be of interest to postgraduate students, researchers and academics of International Relations and European Integration, specifically those interested in small states in the European Union or the rotating European Union Council presidency"--

The author looks at the problem of illiteracy in Africa and Nigeria. He points out that women, the main providers, are also the main sufferers. The lack of political will on the part of most African governments to abolish certain aspects of culture that disturb and frustrate efforts for total eradication of illiteracy by the year 2000 is stressed. The author connects the literacy crisis with the decline of rural schools, the neglect of indigenous African languages, and the dominance of a black elite which has lost its vision. (DÜI-Sen)
