Cities and Global Governance - New Sites for International Relations (Paperback): Mark Amen, Noah J. Toly, Klaus Segbers,... Cities and Global Governance - New Sites for International Relations (Paperback)
Mark Amen, Noah J. Toly, Klaus Segbers, Patricia L. McCarney
R1,677 Discovery Miles 16 770 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Case study rich, this volume advances our understanding of the significance of 'the city' in global governance. The editors call for innovation in international relations theory with case studies that add breadth to theorizing the role sub-national political actors play in global affairs. Each of the eight case studies demonstrates different intersections between the local and the global and how these intersections alter the conditions resulting from globalization processes. The case studies do so by focusing on one of three sub-themes: the diverse ways in which cities and sub-national regions impact nation-state foreign policy; the various dimensions of urban imbrications in global environmental politics; or the multiple methods and standards used to measure the global roles of cities.

Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations - The Changing Role of Higher Education (Paperback): Glen A. Jones, Patricia L.... Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations - The Changing Role of Higher Education (Paperback)
Glen A. Jones, Patricia L. McCarney, Michael L Skolnik
R822 Discovery Miles 8 220 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Globalization's effects on universities have been little examined. "Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations" seeks to improve understanding by deepening the analysis of how universities contribute to economic growth and entrepreneurialism while also contributing to strategic societal goals of equity and redistributive justice. Editors Glen A. Jones, Patricia L. McCarney, and Michael L. Skolnik have brought together a diverse group of contributors to describe how internal and external forces arising from globalization are exerting pressure to change the role of higher education in society and how universities are dealing with these pressures. The essays pay particular attention to tensions associated with attempts to balance the economic with the non-economic objectives of higher education, and between those who celebrate the 'entrepreneurial university' versus those who lament the new alignment between the university and the business community as undermining the civic responsibility of the university and its freedom of speech and critical inquiry. "Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations" is a crucial addition to the debate on the future of higher education.
