FOREWORD – 3 Foreword Universities and other tertiary education institutions can play a key role in human capital development and innovation systems in their cities and regions. Since 2005, the Reviews of Higher Education in Regional and City Development have been the OECD‟s tool to mobilise higher education for economic, social and cultural development of cities and regions. These reviews have analysed how the universities and tertiary education institutions as a system impacts local and regional development and have helped improve this impact in more than 30 cities and regions in over 20 countries. These reviews have examined the tertiary education institution‟s contribution to human capital and skills development; technology transfer and business innovation; social, cultural and environmental development; and regional capacity building. The review process has been designed to facilitate partnership building in cities and regions by drawing together the different tertiary education institutions and public and private agencies to identify strategic goals and work together towards them. The review of the Basque Country is the fifth review of higher education in regional and city development in Spain, following the earlier reviews of Valencia and Canary Islands in 2006, and Andalusia and Catalonia in 2010. The Basque Country has developed a reputation for its comprehensive regional policy that has strengthened the Basque industrial base through support for industry-based skills, innovation and cluster development, providing a model for European regional innovation initiatives. The Basque Government has excelled in planning, co-ordination, analysis, goals setting, prioritisation and consensus building. It has developed coherent plans for the university and the vocational education sectors and established well articulated goals. It has gained notable success in uniting the key stakeholder groups and leveraging co-operation across agencies and institutions. This review report investigates how the Basque Country and its universities and higher vocational education institutions can continue to build a more robust skills and innovation system against a backdrop of an economic crisis, ageing society and increasing global competition. HIGHER EDUCATION IN REGIONAL AND CITY DEVELOPMENT: BASQUE COUNTRY, SPAIN © OECD 2013 4 – FOREWORD It is our hope that this review will be helpful to the Basque Country and its tertiary education institutions. We also hope that the Basque experience and many good practices will provide an inspiration to other regions that want to unleash the potential of their tertiary educations institutions.

  • Is the Mondragón Co-Operative Experience a Cultural Exception? the Application of the Mondragón Model in Valencia and Beyond
    Is the Mondragón Co-operative Experience a Cultural Exception? The Application of the Mondragón Model in Valencia and Beyond Spencer P Thompson It has frequently been presumed that the ability of the Mondragón group of co‑operatives to achieve a remarkable degree of trust and loyalty amongst its members while maintaining relatively bureaucratic workplaces is due to the uniquely solidaristic traits of Basque culture, implying that the same feat will be unattainable amidst less favourable cultural milieus. This article argues that, on the contrary, Mondragón’s organisational culture is embedded in its organisational structures — such as its systems of governance, education, ownership, remuneration, and inter‑co‑operation — and should therefore be widely applicable, even if not identically replicable, in other regions. To this effect, the article provides evidence that the key features of ‘the Mondragón Model’ have indeed been emulated elsewhere — namely in Valencia and the United States — and moreover has significant parallels around the world. Introduction The Mondragón group of co‑operatives in the Basque Country (hereafter ‘Mondragón’) appears to have achieved a rare combination of trust and loyalty on the one hand and bureaucratic workplaces on the other, thus allowing it to prosper in large‑scale manufacturing sectors wherein co‑operatives are relatively scarce. This peculiarity is often attributed to the uniquely solidaristic traits of Basque culture, implying that the most celebrated example of worker cooperativism in the world is a cultural exception with limited applicability to other regions. The present article disputes such a fatalistic assessment. First, it contends that Mondragón’s organisational culture, far from merely reflecting Basque ethnic culture, is in fact sustained by its organisational structures, particularly its systems of governance, ownership, remuneration, education, and inter‑co‑operation.

In the Basque Country, 1895 marked the birth of the Partido Nacionalista Vasco (Basque Nationalist Party), concurrent with the development of the cultural nationalist movement known as the ‘Gaelic revival’ in pre-revolutionary Ireland. In 1939, the Spanish Civil War ended with the destruction of the Spanish Second Republic, plunging Basque nationalism into decades of intense persecution. Conversely, at this same time, Irish nationalist aspirations were realized to an unprecedented degree during the ‘republicanization’ of the Irish Free State under Irish leader Éamon de Valera.

  • Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face Of
    THE WILLIAM DAVIDSON INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN Assessing Mondragon: Stability & Managed Change in the Face of Globalization By: Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato William Davidson Institute Working Paper Number 100 3 November 2010 Assessing Mondragon: Stability and Managed Change in the Face of Globalization Saioa Arando, Fred Freundlich, Monica Gago, Derek C. Jones and Takao Kato November, 2010 Abstract By drawing on new interview evidence gathered during several field trips and new financial and economic data from both external and internal sources, we document and assess the changing economic importance and performance of the Mondragon group of cooperatives as well as the two largest sectors within the group. Compared to conventional firms in the Basque Country and Spain, and producer co-ops (PCs) and employee owned firms elsewhere, in general we find evidence of growing group importance and strong performance and a similarly strong record for the industrial and retail divisions. These stylized facts do not support hypotheses concerning PCs such as predictions that PCs will restrict employment and become progressively comparatively undercapitalized. In accounting for this record, we highlight key and, at times, not uncontroversial institutional developments in the group during the last 20 years or so that indicate the existence of a continuing capacity for institutional adaptation in Mondragon-- an ongoing ability to innovate and make institutional adjustments to deal with emerging challenges. In addition, we provide more detailed information than before on some key distinguishing institutional mechanisms of the Mondragon group, including the extent of worker-member transfers during economic crises, the patterns of profit pooling and the type and volume of training.

  • Chapter 7 Perceptions Towards Multilingual Practices in Teacher Education
    Nagore Ipiña and Begoña Pedrosa Chapter 7 Perceptions towards Multilingual Practices in Teacher Education Abstract: Higher Education (HE) in Europe has been attributed an important role in fostering multilingualism and therefore, universities in Europe have developed policies (Extra & Yagmur, 2012; Fortanet-Gómez, 2013; Pavón, Lancaster & Bretones, 2019) and reflected on practices that could promote multilingualism in the last few years� In that line, approaches such as CLIL or EMI have also become common practices in some contexts� However, most of the experiences carried out in HE have proved not to be sufficient (Fortanet-Gómez, 2013) to reach the aims and thus, further research is needed (Dafouz & Smit, 2014)� Focusing on Teacher Education, the intent of this chapter is to examine critically the practices carried out in Teacher Education at the Faculty of Humanities and Education of Mondragon University� The study was carried out by means of focus groups with student teachers and semi-structured interviews with teacher educator to analyse the existing perceptions towards multilingual practices at the Faculty of Humanities and Education from an ecological perspective (van Lier, 1998, 2004)� Results show that the practices conducted are perceived as meaningful by the participants as a way to foster multilingualism� Moreover, results of this study call for a new step towards Pluriliteracies Teacher for Learning Approach to develop a more holistic and ecological perspective� However, conducting similar research studies in other contexts
