Park, Yong Jin – Communication Teacher, 2012
Teaching communication policy to young college students can be a challenge. Students often consider law and policy as difficult, abstract, or even unrelated to their lives.

Hartmann-Mahmud, Lori – PS: Political Science and Politics, 2009
Neoliberalism is one of the most pervasive and contested concepts of our contemporary era. Thus, it is essential for students to gain an understanding of its history, meaning, assumptions, and policy prescriptions. In addition to recognizing the importance of neoliberalism in the current political discourse, I argue that the polarized responses to…

Atkinson, Robert D. – Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, 2010
A decade ago, before the tech boom collapsed and the digital economy bubble burst, it seemed to some that issues surrounding information technology (IT) might be central to the politics of the early 21st century. But after September 11, 2001, with so much else on everyone's minds, "digital politics" seemed a boring sideshow. Technocrats,…

In his governmentality studies in the late 1970s Foucault held a course at the College de France on the major forms of neoliberalism, examining the three theoretical schools of German ordoliberalism, the Austrian school characterized by Hayek, and American neoliberalism in the form of the Chicago school.

Winders, Bill – Rural Sociology, 2004
Between 1945 and 1975, the twin pillars of U.S. agricultural policy--price supports and production controls--were weakened significantly. Price supports levels were reduced and made flexible in 1954, and the concept of parity was removed in 1973. Production controls were softened in 1964 and 1973. How can we explain these policy shifts? While…

Rowley, Tom – 1999
Telecommunications technologies have great potential for linking rural homes, schools, businesses, and government. Experts agree that rural development depends on investment in additional telecommunications infrastructure and on local access to the Internet, but getting advanced telecommunications services to rural areas will take time. This…

Penn, Helen – Education Canada, 2000
In the United Kingdom, the shift to competitive private-market models for early childhood education and day care services has created a chaotic system detrimental to young children's welfare. In contrast, many European countries, particularly Scandinavian countries, support a model based on entitlement for children and have expanded day care…

Mrozek, Janusz R. – Journal of Economic Education, 1999
Argues for a unified consideration of how markets fail based on how an efficiency rule (marginal benefits to society equal or exceed marginal costs to society) is violated.

Lynch, Kathleen; Moran, Marie – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2006
While economic capital is not synonymous with cultural, social or symbolic capital in either its constitutional or organizational form, it nevertheless remains the more flexible and convertible form of capital.
