Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations seeks to improve understanding by deepening the analysis of how universities contribute to economic growth and entrepreneurialism while also contributing to strategic societal goals of equity and redistributive justice. Editors Glen A. Jones, Patricia L. McCarney, and Michael L. Skolnik have brought together a diverse group of contributors to describe how internal and external forces arising from globalization are exerting pressure to change the role of higher education in society and how universities are dealing with these pressures. The essays pay particular attention to tensions associated with attempts to balance the economic with the non-economic objectives of higher education, and between those who celebrate the 'entrepreneurial university' versus those who lament the new alignment between the university and the business community as undermining the civic responsibility of the university and its freedom of speech and critical inquiry. Creating Knowledge, Strengthening Nations is a crucial addition to the debate on the future of higher education. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives 606 $aEducation, Higher$xPhilosophy 608 $aConference papers and proceedings. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 1 $aKnowledge 610 1 $aStrengthening nations 610 1 $aHigher education 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xAims and objectives. 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xPhilosophy. 676 $a378.01 702 $aJones$b Glen Alan$f1961- 702 $aMcCarney$b Patricia L. 702 $aSkolnik$b Michael L. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806977403321 996 $aCreating knowledge, strengthening Nations$93933079 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03677nam 22005892 450 001 9911008971403321 005 20151002020706.0 010 $a1-282-98816-6 010 $a9786612988165 010 $a1-84615-722-6 024 7 $a10.1515/9781846157226 035 $a(CKB)2560000000050932 035 $a(EBL)661924 035 $a(OCoLC)701053913 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000468873 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12173945 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000468873 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10507660 035 $a(PQKB)10339667 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781846157226 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC661924 035 $a(DE-B1597)676905 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781846157226 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000050932 100 $a20130118d2009|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aEritrea $ea dream deferred /$fGaim Kibreab 210 1$aSuffolk :$cBoydell & Brewer,$d2009. 215 $a1 online resource (xxvi, 420 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aEastern Africa series 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015). 311 08$a1-84701-008-3 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aThe Broken Promises, Demand for Change & Violation of Human Rights -- Associational Life in Independent Eritrea -- Towards an Explanation -- The Demise of the Private Sector -- PFDJ's Dominance of the Economy & the Consequences -- Freedom of Association, Political Stability & Institutions -- Shattered Promises: In Lieu of a Conclusion. 330 $aEritrean independence under the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (now the People's Front for Democracy and Justice) became an international cause celebre during the 1980s. Eritrea was the first African nation to gain independence in the post-colonial period and appeared to be opening a new and progressive path in African politics. But the promise of the revolution was soon betrayed by the outbreak of war with Ethiopia, the PFDJ's increasingly repressive domestic policies, its mismanagement of the country's economy, and its hostile relations with its neighbours. The PFDJ government dismantled existing formal and informal institutions, crippled the private sector, banned private newspapers, civil and political society organisations, expelled international NGOs and aid agencies when over two-thirds of the population were dependent on food aid, detained without trial journalists, thousands of dissidents, and former leaders of the liberation struggle, and turned national service from an instrument of nation building and national integration into an instrument of open-ended forced labour. In this well-researched first account of post-independence Eritrea, Gaim Kibreab gives a detailed and critical analysis of how things went woefully wrong and how the former 'liberators' turned into oppressors with no respect for the rule of law, human rights and religious freedom.
