Data deficiencies contribute to state fragility and exacerbate constraints on the capacity to provide basic services, public security, and the rule of law. The lack of robust, good-quality data can also have a disabling effect on government efforts to manage political conflict. Indeed, the lack of data can worsen conflict, since violent settings pose substantial challenges to knowledge generation, capture, andapplication. The development of sustainable and professional data-literate stakeholders who are able to produce and increase the quality and accessibility of official statistics can help to improve development outcomes. Goodquality and reliable statistics are required to track the progress of development policies through the monitoring of performance indicators and targets and to ensure that public resources are achieving results. Although reliable data alone cannot have a transformative effect without the right contextual incentives, they constitute an essential prerequisite for greater accountability and more efficient decision making. Data-Driven Decision Making in Fragile Contexts: Evidence from Sudanexplores methods and insights for datacollection and use in fragile contexts, with a focus on findings from Sudan. It begins by posing several questions on the political economy of data and then sets out a framework for assessing the validity, reliability, and potential impact of data on decision making in fragile settings. It then provides insights regarding the challenges associated with data-driven decision making in Sudan, derived from the 2014-15 United Kingdom's Department for International Development Sudanese household survey. Featured are data-driven analyses of diverse topics, from public service delivery to the interplay of governance, trust, andstate legitimacy. As the data revolution and the advent of the Sustainable Development Goals herald an increasing need to solicit the perceptions and experiences of program beneficiaries, the impetus to develop and deploy good quality survey instruments will increase. This volume provides an important proof of concept that this type ofendeavor is both feasible and useful in fragile contexts and, in combination with other important data collection tools, can be effectively utilized to enrich the evidence base of decision making in these settings. 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 517 $aData-Driven Decision-Making in Fragile Contexts 517 $aDirections in DevelopmentDirections in Development - Public Sector Governance 606 $aAccountability 606 $aConflict 606 $aDecision-Making 606 $aFragile 606 $aStatistics 615 4$aAccountability 615 4$aConflict 615 4$aDecision-Making 615 4$aFragile 615 4$aStatistics 700 $aHamilton$b Alexander$0141010 701 $aHamilton$b Alexander$f1984-$01495050 702 $aHammer$b Craig 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792905003321 996 $aData-Driven Decision Making in Fragile Contexts$93719029 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06175nam 22007335 450 001 9910468241103321 005 20240628093745.0 010 $a9783030491192 010 $a3030491196 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-49119-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000011558541 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6383557 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-49119-2 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000011558541 100 $a20201102d2020 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAcademic Freedom Under Siege $eHigher Education in East Asia, the U.S. and Australia /$fedited by Zhidong Hao, Peter Zabielskis 205 $a1st ed. 2020. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (VIII, 263 p. 1 illus.) 225 1 $aEducation in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects,$x2214-9791 ;$v54 311 08$a9783030491185 311 08$a3030491188 327 $a1 Academic Freedom under Siege: What, Why, and What Is to Be Done; Zhidong Hao -- 2 Commercialization and Corporatization vs. Professorial Roles and Academic Freedom in the U.S. and Greater China; Zhidong Hao -- 3 The Role of Commercialization and Corporatization in University Shared Governance: An American Case Study; Zhaohui Hong -- 4 Professors as Intellectuals in China: Political Roles and Academic Freedom in a Provincial University; Zhidong Hao and Zhengyang Guo -- 5 Academic Staff?s Dual Role in China: Academic Freedom in a Prestigious University; Xiaoxin Du -- 6 Freedom to Excel: Performativity, Accountability and Educational Sovereignty in Hong Kong?s Academic Capitalism; Wai-wan Vivien Chan, Hei-hang Hayes Tang and Ross Lap-kin Cheung -- 7 In Search of a Professional Identity and Academic Freedom: Higher Education in Macau and the Academic Role of Faculty; Zhidong Hao -- 8 How Commercialization and Corporatization Affect Academic Freedom in Higher Education: A Case Analysis of a University in Taiwan; Emily Jin-Jy Shieh and Sheng-Ju Chan -- 9 Turtles or Dragons?

Academic freedom means freedom to teach, research, and serve in multiple political and social roles based on professional principles. It is closely linked to shared governance, in which academics participate in and influence decision making in core academic concerns such as choosing new faculty, faculty promotion, tenure decisions and the approval of new academic programs. In different countries and regions, the duress confronting academic freedom may come from different directions, and the ability of faculty to share power can vary greatly. In authoritarian mainland China, it is mostly political and ideological controls that greatly affect academic freedom, and shared governance is very much limited. In semi-democracies like Hong Kong and Macau and democracies like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, the U.S. and Australia, corporatization and commercialization have had great impact on both academic freedom and shared governance. The result is that the roles professors play within academia are continually being diminished and the academic profession is struggling to maintain its ground. Similar developments are also occurring in Europe. These developments should cause great concern to educators, researchers and policymakers everywhere. The authors collected here present attempts to learn from current practice in order to move policy into directions that will help protect higher education as a common good. This book highlights the importance of academic freedom and provides insights into the ways it is being infringed both by commercialization and corporatization on the one hand and political repression on the other. It vividly illustrates detailed case studies and empirical data that make it a compelling read.- Professor Ruth Hayhoe, University of Toronto, Canada Academic freedom is as important today as at any time in the last century. The authors point out the challenges that academic freedom faces on a global scale. The import of the book is in its comparative perspective steeped in data and analysis. Thoughtful. Cogent. Compelling. - Professor William G.
