The Politics of Higher Education: The Imperial University in Northern Song China uses the history of the Imperial University of the Northern Song to show the limits of the Song emperors' powers. At the time, the university played an increasingly dominant role in selecting government officials. This role somehow curtailed the authority of the Song emperors, who did not possess absolute power and, more often than not, found their actions to be constrained by the institution. The nomination mechanism left room for political maneuvering and stakeholders--from emperors to scholar-officials--tried to influence the process. Hence, power struggles among successive emperors trying to assert their imperial authority ensued. Demands for greater autonomy by officials were, for example, unceasing. Chu Ming-kin shows that the road to autocracy was anything but linear. In fact, during the Northern Song dynasty, competition and compromises over diverse agendas constantly altered the political landscape.

"Graduate employability is a significant concern for most higher education institutions worldwide. During the last two decades, universities have attempted to implement their employability agendas to support their students to enhance employment outcomes. However, within today's globalized labour markets, employability has gone far beyond the notion of obtaining stable and permanent employment. This book explores graduates' experiences in developing and utilizing employability capitals for career development and success in different labour markets"--

Au Maroc, le taux de chômage des 25-34 ans est officiellement de 15 %, le taux réel étant bien supérieur selon les économistes. Or, ce phénomène touche largement les diplômés. Depuis plus de 25 ans maintenant, des groupes de diplômés chômeurs se sont constitués et manifestent jour après jour pour être intégrés au sein de la fonction publique. Quels sont ces groupes, très nombreux et très divers ? Qui milite au sein de ces groupes ? Quelle organisation, quelle stratégie, quelles pratiques protestataires adoptent-ils ? Dans cet ouvrage nourri par un travail de terrain poursuivi pendant 15 années, Montserrat Emperador Badimon nous présente de manière très vivante une nébuleuse allant de l'extrême gauche (l'Association nationale des chômeurs marocains par exemple) à des groupes se revendiquant apolitiques (à l'instar des diplômés du troisième cycle). Au cœur de son travail, la chercheuse interroge la pérennité de ces mouvements dans le temps. Soulignant le poids de la géographie dans la diversité des situations présentées (Rabat versus le « Maroc inutile »), Montserrat Emperador Badimon démontre que cette pérennité a plusieurs causes : d'abord, la mobilisation paie (plus ou moins selon les groupes) tant qu'elle reste dans des limites tolérables par les pouvoirs publics. Cette autolimitation de la protestation fait jouer aux groupes de diplômés chômeurs un rôle non négligeable dans le contrôle des oppositions politiques au Maroc ; il serait donc peu pertinent de les réprimer totalement. Cela permet en outre aux pouvoirs publics, en tolérant ces mouvements et en en réprimant d'autres, de s'affirmer comme partie prenante d'un processus de transition vers la démocratie. En résumé, il s'agit là d'une belle analyse d'un mouvement contestataire composite dans un contexte coercitif.

Nowadays, the war for talent is omnipresent and plays in favor of young graduates. In this context, the success of large international Big Four-type firms largely depends on the recruitment of young university graduates and the retention of qualified professionals. The first objective of this thesis is to analyze the attractiveness of the Big Four to young university graduates. The second objective of this work is to understand the Big Four's up-or-out management system, in order to define the criteria that determine the success of the auditors within them. First, a review of the existing literature on the attractiveness and the management system of the Big Four is carried out. This literature review establishes the theoretical framework of this thesis. Following this, a qualitative study is conducted on three different targets using, on the one hand, the questionnaire survey technique and, on the other hand, the semi-directive interview technique. Our sample of interviewees is composed of Master 2 students enrolled in the "Financial Analysis and Audit" Master's degree at HEC-Liège, Junior auditors with one to two years' experience and professionals who have an insight into the recruitment process of some of these large firms. The results obtained are analyzed and compared to the theoretical framework. They lead to the conclusion and recommendations to be drawn from the concepts studied. Based on the qualitative analysis that is carried out, it appears that the Big Four are attractive in the eyes of young university graduates – the most frequently cited assertion being that they are mainly interested in using this first professional experience as an asset for their future career. Then, in terms of the criteria that determine the success of the auditors, it appears that in the first two to three years, technical skills are quite important but that they are considered to be acquired from the Senior 2 grade upwards. Therefore, processes such as socialization and successful integration, which are set out as soon as the auditor joins the firm, reveal to be important for the auditor's success within the firm. Finally, three recommendations are made and addressed to large international firms regarding the maintenance of their attractiveness and one recommendation is addressed to young university graduates to ensure their success from the very beginning of their career with the Big Four.
