The chapter traces the genealogy of the Education for All (EFA) Movement understood as a global regime of educational governance between 1990 and 2005. The chapter sets out the achievements of EFA including some success in uniting diverse interests around a common set of goals. It will also discuss the key tensions related to the Northern and Western-led nature of EFA; tensions between the multilateral agencies over the leadership of EFA and the issues associated with the hegemonic status assumed by the World Bank; the tension between a wider EFA agenda and a narrower focus on a few quantifiable targets; and the associated tensions between more economistic and rights-based views of EFA. It will be argued that the development of these tensions can be understood in relation to different kinds of power linked to the international political economy and to the impact of other global regimes.

This paper examines the roles of women in the processes of evolution toward full centralization in two secondary states in West Africa - the Mossi and the Akan states. Although the developing state was being organized on a supra-kinship basis, it is quite clear that women emerged as political actors primarily because of their roles and statuses within kinship groups, whether based on descent or affinity. Women contributed to the very survival of ancient African polities and played critical roles in justification, consolidation, and expansion of the state. Nevertheless these same kinship factors often prevented them from ruling in their own right, or from passing on the power to rule to their offspring and lineal decendants. (DÜI-Hff)

The subject of the article is the consideration about the dissociation of dependencies between labour taxation and the development of the welfare state. On the one hand, we are dealing with the emergence of various types of nonstandard work and forms of remuneration with reduced taxation. On the other hand – with an increase in entitlement to appropriate (in terms of type and amount) social benefits determined on the basis of general human and social rights and various rights not related to work and employment. There is no coordination between the two sides, as evidenced by successive reforms; both in the labour market and in social security systems. They were indicated in the text and their limited effectiveness was assessed in reconciling the new labor market with the desired scope of the welfare state, which covers its most expensive segments today: health care, education and old age security

This is an introductory text which defines the field and sets out the parameters of state crime in all its forms: state violence, corruption, transnational crime, state involvement in corporate crime, in avoidable "natural" disasters, torture and illegal punishment, criminal policing, war crimes and genocide. It incorporates a thorough review of the themes, issues, and debates central to the existing literature on state crime, drawn from a range of disciplines, including criminology, human rights, international relations and political science; and develops a theoretical approach to understanding the boundaries of state crime in relation to both deviance and human rights. A distinctive feature of the book is its original empirical research which uses diverse international and thematically organized case-studies to inform it

The subject of this article is the dissociation of dependencies between labour taxation and the development of the welfare state. On the one hand, we are dealing with the emergence of various types of non-standard work and forms of remuneration with reduced taxation. On the other hand – with an increase in entitlement to appropriate (in terms of type and amount) social benefits, determined on the basis of general human and social rights, including various rights not related to work and employment. There is no coordination between the two sides, as evidenced by successive reforms; both in the labor market and in social security systems. These reforms are indicated in the text and their limited effectiveness in reconciling the new labour market with the desired scope of the welfare state has been assessed. This is linked to the currently most expensive public sectors: health care, education and pensions.

The Montana legislature's requirement that public schools implement programs that fulfill the inclusive Indian education intent found in the state constitution is groundbreaking in U.S. educational history. Supporters of the revived Indian Education for All (IEFA) law agree that including Native perspectives in the mainstream curriculum is long overdue. Advocates often frame IEFA as an initiative that will promote transformative understanding of local American Indian tribes. The data presented in this research report relate to a learner-focused assessment of the model K-5 IEFA program initiated at Lewis and Clark Elementary School in Montana. Did this public school-based IEFA program change attitudes toward American Indians among young learners and therefore potentially improve interracial relationships among Indians and non-Indians? To assess the initiative's impact on student learning and attitudes over two years, one of the authors, working in collaboration with teacher leaders, developed and administered a simple written survey. Survey results indicate that participating students increased their knowledge of the nearby tribe, that the program's impact was considerable in most attitudinal domains, and that differences in individual educators' instructional focus shaped learning outcomes in diverse ways that offer lessons about teacher effectiveness in advancing Montana's education policy affecting Native communities. However, important issues regarding the objectives of IEFA remain to be addressed by Indian and non-Indian advocates and policy makers.

This study embarks on an investigation into the linkage between education and national output in Malaysia. Annual time series data on real gross domestic product (GDP), expenditure on education, fixed capital formation and labour force were collected from 1985 to 2018 and the Autoregressive Distributed-Lag (ARDL) method is applied in this study. The results of this study reveals that capital formation and education can cause higher national output in the long run. However, labour force does not have any connection with national output in the long run. Besides, the results also show short-run relationships. It is found that only capital formation has an influence national output in the short run but labour force and education do not have any effect on national output in Malaysia. Therefore, the government needs to increase its expenditure on education to boost national output. Other than that, the government must take other initiatives to increase expenditure on education.

In today's liberalised economy, FDI has a crucial role in the development of an economy. FDI is one the external factors affecting an economy's development whereas education is one of the internal factors that affects the economy. As per the census in 2011, literacy rate in India is 74 . India has the 3rd largest higher education sector in the world after China and the U.S. Indian education sector has been acknowledged as the "Sunrise sector" for investment . With the increasing population of India, people's point of view regarding education has changed as well. On the other hand government and FDI in education sector plays an important role in it. India has emerged as a service based and knowledge based economy giving preference to growth of human capital. This paper analyses FDI trend in Indian education sector. The paper gives insight about the impact of FDI in Education onenrollment at secondary and higher level of education. Finally, it helps us understand how the combined efforts of India and other nations help in improving Indian education sector. The research approach is exploratory in nature. This paper has major implications for educationists who intend to reap the benefits of FDI as well as the Government who need to frame suitable policies.
