Preface The past year has been a very active and challenging one for international co-operation. The OECD has responded flexibly to the rapidly-evolving globalised economy by developing new projects, and by continuing to modernise the functioning of the Organisation. This Annual Report docu- ments our activities in 2002, and points the directions of upcoming work, some of which I would like to highlight here. The evolving policy agenda The positive economic developments in early 2002 did not last. Global eco- nomic recovery is now faltering against the background of geopolitical OECD Secretary-General uncertainty. Taking a longer perspective, OECD countries continued to make Donald J. Johnston. progress in structural reforms that foster economic growth, raise produc- tivity and achieve higher levels of employment. But the pattern of growth across the OECD area is changing. In most of the post-war era there has been a general tendency for countries with relatively low gross domestic product (GDP) per capita to catch up with the leading countries. This pattern of convergence was reversed during the 1990s, as the United States drew strongly ahead of the field again. Australia, Canada and Ireland also achieved much higher growth over the past few years than continen- tal Europe or Japan. These differences stem in part from demographics. But policies matter too, in particular as some OECD countries made strong progress in structural reform. The OECD Growth Study provides a frame- work for analysing these issues, and the OECD is now monitoring the implementation of its recommendations. The OECD has for a long time worked on a number of policy issues that are relevant to the fight against terrorism or to managing the aftermath of a major terrorist attack. Thus, following the tragic events of 11 September 2001, the OECD provided its members with an assessment of the economic impacts, as well as impacts on international trade and on financial markets. It accelerated work in sensitive fields such as security of information systems and standards for access to pathogens held in bio- logical resource centres. It has begun new work on ship ownership and cargo verification. A special Task Force on Terrorism Insurance is helping members come to grips with mega-terrorism risks. The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg focused world attention on progress in the decade since the Rio Earth Summit and provided an opportunity to review international commitments on development, trade, financing and the environment. It produced two main results: a detailed, action-oriented Plan of Implementation, intended to guide work on sustainable development in the years to come; and a series 5 . OECD . ANNUAL . REPORT 2003 of partnership initiatives involving government, business, non- governmental organisations and other groups to address specific sustain- able development problems. The OECD participated actively in the preparations for the summit and in the meeting itself. For follow-up, the OECD will concentrate on areas where it has a clear comparative advantage: corporate responsibility and accountability; poverty reduction, especially through better development assistance and trade liberalisation; methods to achieve growth with less environmental impact; protecting and managing natural resources; and statistics on sustainable development. The OECD has also joined seven partnership initiatives, in areas ranging from dealing with environmental emergencies to developing indicators of children’s environmental health. OECD work to facilitate multilateral trade negotiations has intensified in the run-up to the 5th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial meeting in Cancún, Mexico, in September 2003. Member countries are committed to achieving the promise embodied in the Doha Development Agenda (DDA). And particularly at a time of marked political and economic uncertainty, they appreciate that all countries will reap benefits if the negotiations are successfully completed, while failure would raise serious dangers to the multilateral trading system and the global economy. Making progress in agriculture is crucial to the success of the negotiations and to making the DDA a true “development round”. The OECD will help govern- ments build consensus among themselves and among the broader public in support of market openness in order to strengthen the negotiation process. Adaptation and reform Adaptation and institutional “reform” are constants in any living organi- sation. Pressures to adapt and reform have undoubtedly strengthened over the past decade, with a denser web of interconnections between economies (globalisation), the pressures and opportunities afforded by new informa- tion and communications technologies, and greater involvement of citi- zens in the making of public policy. In the globalising world economy, almost every policy issue now has an international dimension and has become a subject of international co-operation. Reflecting the increasing importance of education in our knowledge-based societies, the OECD in 2002 created a separate Directorate for Education. Globalisation has also made it necessary to involve a broader range of countries in the OECD’s activities. Thus, six new members have joined the Organisation over the past decade, and the OECD now co-operates with some 70 non-member economies. Like many organisations and governments the OECD has been operating with tight, even declining, budgets and continuously seeks efficiency and best value for money. Modernisation has also been a priority and the 6 OVERVIEW Preface . Organisation has streamlined its budget process and made its financial system more accountable and transparent by signing up to the Inter- national Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS). The 2002 accounts, certified by external auditors, will be made available on the OECD website. It is also forging ahead with a major renovation of the headquarters site to improve safety and enable the Organisation to operate more efficiently (see page 10). And the challenges will keep coming. In the years ahead the OECD, princi- pally its members, will need to formulate a strategy to respond to coun- tries that wish to join the OECD. This will include addressing essential questions such as OECD decision-making procedures, budget contribu- tions and prioritisation of activities. These are all issues that the OECD Council is examining now. I am personally committed to ensuring that the OECD responds to these challenges in an effective manner, and continues to be an essential com- ponent of the multilateral system. The key to this success is the spirit of co-operation between like-minded governments that was the founding principle of the OECD more than 40 years ago.

  • Speculative Pedagogies: Education, Entrepreneurialism and the Politics
    Speculative Pedagogy: Education, Entrepreneurialism and the Politics of Inclusion in Contemporary Sweden* Magnus Dahlstedt University of Lund, Sweden Mekonnen Tesfahuney University of Lund, Sweden * Previous versions of this article have been presented at the workshop Migration, State and Pedagogy: Exploring a New Research Area of Pedagogy, August 26-27, 2009, in Tisvilde, Denmark at and the conference What is the Common?, October 10-11, 2009, at Gothenburg University, Sweden. We would like to thank all the participants, as well as the anonymous referees for JCEPS, for helpful comments. Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, vol.8. no.2 Every Thought emits a Roll of the Dice. Mallarmé A Throw of the Dice We are living in a speculative age. It is not simply politics, economics, and culture, but also life itself, which is subject to the calculus of risk and risk-taking. In this social and political climate that encourages creativity, innovation and adventure or hazard, it is the entrepreneurial self that has come to symbolize the ideal (citizen) subject at once flexible and docile yet risk-taking. The logic of speculative competition and accumulation has become an integral part of governing society over the past decades – in times of crisis as well as growth. Daily shows and television series, such as „celebrity poker‟, „poker stars‟ and „poker tours‟, as well as a wide plethora of reality-TV-shows, foster a culture of gambling and speculation. The media are just one aspect of the wider speculative culture that has emerged since the 1970s. The state has been a key agent abetting such a culture, not only by availing public sector moneys for speculative ends, but even more significantly by mobilizing one of the most, if not the most, significant disciplinary space in modernity, i.e., education, to foster and impart a speculative ethos and culture.

Jennifer Leigh Novack London School of Economics and Political Science University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of PhD in International Relations This thesis examines Finnish and Swedish membership in the European Union since the two Nordic countries joined (along with Austria) in January 1995 to become “new kids on the European block.” The author compares the strategies that national decision-makers have pursued in EU policy-making to assess the nature and extent of their adaptation to the European Union. This analysis relies on case studies of three policy areas: 1) Economic and Monetary Union (with a focus on the decision on whether or not to adopt the Euro in the first wave); 2) relations with non-EU neighbours in Northern Europe (with particular attention given to EU enlargement and the Northern Dimension Initiative); and 3) public access to documents.
