Hommage de Monsieur Paul-F. Smets

Traditionally, highest courts have had the task of safeguarding the unity of law within the territory of their jurisdiction. Their position at the top of the hierarchy of domestic courts meant there was no other authority above them. Globalisation, however, has resulted in changes to the position and function of the highest courts on the national level. The internationalisation of law has brought the individual domestic legal systems into close contact with one another. An invaluable tool for national judges, judges and staff of international courts, civil servants at ministries of justice, this study of the dividing line between the national and international level identifies the contemporary function of the highest national courts.

An interdisciplinary collection of essays designed to map out a wide-ranging and productive future for postcolonial studies, this volume assesses the current state of the field and points toward its most promising new developments. In addressing questions about the definition and relevance of postcolonial scholarship, many of the essays consider its relation to the study of globalization. While some contributors offer broad reflections on the existing two-way influence between postcolonial theory and established university disciplines such as literary criticism and history, others forge ahead into some vital, if nascent, areas for postcolonial research such as media studies, environmental studies, religious studies, and linguistic and semantic analysis.The contributors represent many of the fields altered by postcolonial studies over the past two decades, including literary studies, history, anthropology, Asian and African studies, and political science. They model diverse applications of postcolonial theory to Latin America, East Asia, the Middle East, and the United States. Postcolonial Studies and Beyond propels the field forward. It showcases scholars coming from intellectual precincts usually considered outside the purview of the postcolonial finding new ways to deploy classic techniques of postcolonial analysis, and scholars strongly associated with postcolonial studies offering substantial critiques designed to challenge the field's most fundamental assumptions.

L’anthropologie est-elle en crise ? On peut facilement le penser. Car, science occidentale, la définit-on par son côté ethnologique comme description et rencontre de l’autre, de préférence exotique, on s’avise alors rapidement que, dans un monde globalisé, cet autre est beaucoup plus difficile à trouver, quand il n’a pas déjà lui-même pris la plume ethnographique qu’il utilise à sa manière. La définit-on, conformément à l’étymologie, comme «science de l’homme» dédiée à faire apparaître l «unité du genre humain», et alors on se demande aussitôt, à l’âge du relativisme et du constructivisme, quel peut bien être le fantôme qu’elle voudrait saisir. De l’intérieur même, d’ailleurs, la discipline s est fragmentée et autour d’elle des compétences concurrentes lui disputent le champ de la culture (cultural studies, études interculturelles). Telles sont donc quelques-unes des questions que les textes de ce collectif affrontent. Mais ce n’est pas pour jeter l’éponge et déclarer d’ores et déjà l’anthropologie à l’agonie, loin de là. Il s’agit plutôt d’en rappeler les ressources et la mission tout en prenant acte des transformations à travers lesquelles elle est en train de passer en même temps que le monde qui est le nôtre. Une anthropologie en crise? Ayant perdu sa raison d’être ? Non, une anthropologie au défi de sa propre évolution, de son dynamisme, de ses atouts les plus forts.

Do teachers innovate? Do they try different pedagogical approaches? Are practices within classrooms and educational organisations changing? And to what extent can change be linked to improvements? A measurement agenda is essential to an innovation and improvement strategy in education. Measuring Innovation in Educationoffers new perspectives on addressing the need for such measurement. This book’s first objective is informative: it gives readers new international comparative information about innovation in education compared to other sectors. And it documents change in a variety of dimensions of school practices between 1999 and 2011. Its second objective is methodological: it assesses two approaches to capturing the extent and type of innovation occurring within and across education systems. The third objective is exploratory: this book showcases a large-scale pilot that presents over 200 measures of innovation in education using existing international data. Last but not least, the fourth objective is prospective: this report proposes new approaches to measuring innovation in education in the future. This book is the beginning of a new journey: it calls for innovations in the field of measurement – and not just of education.
