“…During this period, the much-lamented 'rate of returns on Higher Education' study by the World Bank found that the returns on Primary Education were higher than Higher Education (HE), and for that reason development efforts were refocused (Heyneman 2003). This contributed to chronic under funding of the Higher Education System (HES) and the delinking of universities from the development discourse and their role in development (Cloete et al 2011).…”

The conditions under which universities are attempting to coherently accomplish their three missions of teaching and learning, research and community engagement have a significant impact on the institutional form, structure and character of universities.The concept of the developmental state, the role and place for the Higher Education sector in the developmental state and its role in supporting political, social and economic transformation is explored. In this article we attempt to further develop a conceptual framework for the development(al) university considering the context, drivers of focus, and changes in control, governance and university functions to the end of defining a potential development pathway. The research problem addressed in this article is therefore not an attempt to extend the 'research university' or 'entrepreneurial university' concept but to rather discuss the pathways through which a university may strengthen its development role as 'instrument' or 'engine'.The empirical analysis presented in the article is a case study of an agricultural development project at the University of Fort Hare in South Africa. We analyse the case study against the development pathway framework and explore its utility to facilitate understanding and learning within the University towards reaching development and transformation objectives. We propose that such a framework could support understanding of the impact universities have on the economy and society beyond typical mechanistic measures.

“…For example, Ball (in Fielding, 2001, p. 49) believes that international organisations are concerned with the 'establishment of a global policy paradigm in education'. Similarly, the World Bank has been criticised by Heyneman (2003) and Jones (1998), who believes that their involvement is 'an ideological stance [to] promoting an integrated world system along market lines'. The ability of international organisations to establish a 'global policy' or 'integrated world system' can only be benefited by presence in the political arena.…”

Political Peace — Educational War: The Role Played by International Organisations in Negotiating Peace in the Balkans and its Consequences for Education

The number of countries involved in conflict appears to be growing. Global awareness of these conflicts grows as the increasing use of weblogs and mobile phone videos, alongside traditional technologies, demonstrates the day-to-day effects of conflict on those caught up in it. International organisations are drawn into negotiating 'peace settlements' and into monitoring post-conflict developments due to this growing global awareness of conflict and due to the influences of globalisation, increasing economic interdependence and other factors. International organisations, including the World Bank and agencies of the United Nations, try to find common ground between opposing factions in conflict situations in order to broker peace. This is not an easy task and compromises often have to be made. Peace agreements and settlements also need to take account of how the parties will work together in the future, and therefore, these may include aspects of educational provision. This article describes the role played by international organisations in negotiating the peace agreement that brought about the end of the conflict in the countries of the former Yugoslavia in 1995. It goes on to illustrate the consequences for education of this peace agreement and suggests that, whilst international organisations may have brokered peace on the streets, the opposing factions are continuing their war in the terrain of continuing educational conflicts, due at least in part to structures for educational provision laid out in the Dayton Agreement. The article provides support for Bush & Saltarelli's claim that education has two faces, and argues that in this case, unfortunately, the negative one predominates.

“…Además, el análisis de la adopción de políticas neoliberales que favorecen la privatización de la educación, como aquellas promovidas por el Banco Mundial, son abordadas por Torres y Schugurensky (2002) y Heyneman (2003). Las formaciones académicas y áreas de interés que predominan en estos autores son Educación Internacional, Educación comparada, Sociología, Economía y Administración.…”

ResumenEn la línea de propiciar una comprensión sobre la Internacionalización en la Educación Superior, como parte de una investigación más amplia que explora sus diferentes aristas desde la Ciencia de la Información, la investigación tiene como objetivo identificar los trabajos de mayor trascendencia en la temática y el análisis de su estructura intelectual. Para ello se realiza un análisis de citación y cocitación de la producción científica registrada en la base de datos Scopus y un análisis documental de los artículos más citados. Se emplean técnicas de análisis multivariado como análisis de clúster y escalamiento multidimensional. Se identifican autores y revistas en torno a temas como Conceptos y modelos de internacionalización; Comunicación intercultural; Movilidad internacional y migraciones; Neoliberalismo, globalización y capitalismo académico. Los ejes temáticos permiten reflexionar sobre aspectos claves para el establecimiento de políticas universitarias de internacionalización, entre ellos, las motivaciones y los objetivos de la internacionalización y la dicotomía entre la búsqueda de visibilidad internacional y la dimensión intercultural.

Its aim is to identify the most significant work in this area and analyze their intellectual structure, from which reflections on the implications for the establishment of university policies are made. For this, a citation and cocitation analysis of scientific literature on the subject registered in the Scopus database and a documentary analysis of the most cited articles is performed. Multivariate analysis techniques as cluster analysis and multidimensional scaling are used. The study clusters authors and journals on topics as Concepts and models of internationalization; Intercultural communication; International mobility and migration; Neoliberalism, globalization and academic capitalism. The key aspects identified allowed reflecting on internationalization policies discussions, including the motivations and objectives of internationalization and the dichotomy between the search for international visibility and intercultural dimension.
