Responding to popular demands for more accessible education, the Guyanese government instituted numerous educational reforms, hoping to promote economic growth in both the modern and the traditional sectors of the economy. Many in the traditional sector, however, saw education as a means of economic advancement, and sought increasingly to move into higher social strata through employment in the modern sector. Consequently, the civil service and private firms gained an oversupply of personnel, while agriculture Development perspectives ;2.School management and organizationGuyanaDeveloping countriesEducationGuyanaEconomic conditionsGuyanaSocial conditionsSchool management and organization370.9881370/.988/1Bacchus M.

The book challenges the popular assumption that ideology causes Indonesian Islamists to radicalize into violent extremism. In addition it addresses why, despite years of intense security-force pressure, seemingly disparate militant cells keep ‘popping up’ like the heads of the proverbial Hydra, and why in the apparent absence of a centralized coordinating body, they nevertheless appear to display an organic interconnectivity with one another. Going beyond standard ideological mantras, the book argues that fresh inter-disciplinary thinking is needed to deal with the constantly mutating violent Islamist challenge in Indonesia, and puts forward a comprehensive strategy for doing so. It will be of interest to academics and students of terrorism, religion and violence in the Southeast Asian region.International relationsComparative governmentAnthropologyPolitical scienceInternational Relationshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010International relations.Comparative government.Anthropology.Political science.International Relations.Comparative Politics.Anthropology.Political Theory.300301320320.01Ramakrishna Kumarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1103099BOOK9910483293703321Islamist Terrorism and Militancy in Indonesia2854999UNINA
