"The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has played a remarkable role in the creation new transformative technologies, revolutionizing defense with drones and precision-guided munitions, and transforming civilian life with portable GPS receivers, voice-recognition software, self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, and, most famously, the ARPANET and its successor, the Internet.Other parts of the U.S. Government and some foreign governments have tried to apply the ‘DARPA model’ to help develop valuable new technologies. But how and why has DARPA succeeded? Which features of its operation and environment contribute to this success? And what lessons does its experience offer for other U.S. agencies and other governments that want to develop and demonstrate their own ‘transformative technologies’?This book is a remarkable collection of leading academic research on DARPA from a wide range of perspectives, combining to chart an important story from the Agency’s founding in the wake of Sputnik, to the current attempts to adapt it to use by other federal agencies. Informative and insightful, this guide is essential reading for political and policy leaders, as well as researchers and students interested in understanding the success of this agency and the lessons it offers to others."

À une époque où ce qui est facile à enseigner et à évaluer est également facile à numériser et à automatiser, ce sont notre imagination, notre conscience et notre sens des responsabilités qui nous permettent de tirer profit des possibilités offertes par le xxie siècle pour façonner un monde meilleur. Demain, l’école devra encourager les élèves à penser par eux-mêmes et à aller à la rencontre des autres avec empathie, dans la sphère professionnelle comme dans la sphère citoyenne. Elle devra les aider à développer un sens aigu du bien et du mal et une sensibilité aux demandes d’autrui. Comment les établissements d’enseignement parviendront-ils à atteindre ces objectifs ? Andreas Schleicher a accompagné dans plus de 70 pays les responsables de ces questions dans leurs efforts pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des politiques et des pratiques tournées vers l’avenir. Alors que l’amélioration de l’éducation est bien plus facile à annoncer qu’à réaliser, il analyse de nombreuses réussites dont nous pouvons tirer des enseignements. Il ne s’agit pas de copier-coller les solutions adoptées par d’autres écoles ou d’autres pays, mais plutôt d’examiner de façon attentive et objective les bonnes pratiques afin de comprendre ce qui fonctionne et les circonstances de ces succès. Doté d’une formation en physique, l’auteur propose un point de vue unique sur la question de la réforme de l’éducation : il défend de manière convaincante l’idée qu’il faudrait appliquer une démarche plus scientifique à la réflexion éducative, sans pour autant la dénaturer.

Advances in information and communication technology (ICT) have directly impacted the way in which politics operates today. Bringing together research on Europe, the US, South America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa, this book examines the relationship between ICT and politics in a global perspective.Technological innovations such as big data, data mining, sentiment analysis, cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, social media and blockchain technology are reshaping the way ICT intersects with politics and in this collection contributors examine these developments, demonstrating their impact on the political landscape. Chapters examine topics such as cyberwarfare and propaganda, post-Soviet space, Snowden, US national security, e-government, GDPR, democratization in Africa and internet freedom.Providing an overview of new research on the emerging relationship between the promise and potential inherent in ICT and its impact on politics, this edited collection will prove an invaluable text for students, researchers and practitioners working in the fields of Politics, International Relations and Computer Science.
