The intersectoral hypothesis iVWKDW3RODQG¶VWZRVHFWRUVDUHTXLWHGLIIHUHQWDQG that these differences mostly follow those claimed and so far found in leading literature on private higher education globally. The intrasectoral analysis focuses on the top-ranked private institutions, fRUZKLFK,K\SRWKHVL]HFKDUDFWHULVWLFVRI³VHPL-HOLWH´LQVWLWXWLRQV The research develops eight explicit and specific intersectoral hypotheses and then, for intrasectoral analysis, eight such hypotheses on parallel subject matter-- Enrollment size, Primary function, Field subject matter, Concentration of institutional offerings, Student quality, Faculty quality, Source of funding, and International orientation. Each hypothesis is investigated empirically. To do so, I refine indicators employed on other higher education topics and develop some wholly new indicators, statistical ones, on which pertinent data could be gathered. I survey top-ranked private universities to compare these to private sector averages. Interviews supplement the statistical analysis, cross-checking that analysis and extending it. The findings strongly substantiate the overall hypothesis that intersectoral differences are major and in anticipated directions. Four of the eight specific hypotheses are strongly supported, three others are moderately supported, and for only one the indicators and data are insufficient to draw a conclusion. The findings on whether the top-ranked institutions are semi-elite are mixed, though generally positive. Two iv hypotheses are strongly supported, three moderately supported, two supported in only limited ways, and one is basically not supported. This national case study not only fits and illustrates but also greatly fleshes out the global findings on intersectoral differences. The intrasectoral analysis²only the second large national study²proves promising for the semi-elite concept, charting new territory but revealing ambiguities and contradictions. Aside from its substantive findings, this study makes methodological strides, on both the intersectoral and intrasectoral fronts, by introducing systematically developed hypotheses, finding indicators for analyzing them, and using data to fuel the indicators. Additionally, the study provides detailed relevant material usable in policymaking by government agencies, private universities, and families. v TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENT.....................................................................................................

  • European Parliament: 7Th February 2017 Redistribution of Political Balance
    POLICY PAPER European issues n°420 European Parliament: 7th February 2017 redistribution of political balance Charles de Marcilly François Frigot At the mid-term of the 8th legislature, the European Parliament, in office since the elections of May 2014, is implementing a traditional “distribution” of posts of responsibility. Article 19 of the internal regulation stipulates that the Chairs of the parliamentary committees, the Deputy-Chairs, as well as the questeurs, hold their mandates for a renewable 2 and a-half year period. Moreover, internal elections within the political groups have supported their Chairs, whilst we note that there has been some slight rebalancing in terms of the coordinators’ posts. Although Italian citizens draw specific attention with the two main candidates in the battle for the top post, we should note other appointments if we are to understand the careful balance between nationalities, political groups and individual experience of the European members of Parliament. A TUMULTUOUS PRESIDENTIAL provide collective impetus to potential hesitations on the part of the Member States. In spite of the victory of the European People’s Party (EPP) in the European elections, it supported Martin As a result the election of the new President of Schulz in July 2104 who stood for a second mandate as Parliament was a lively[1] affair: the EPP candidate – President of the Parliament. In all, with the support of the Antonio Tajani – and S&D Gianni Pittella were running Liberals (ADLE), Martin Schulz won 409 votes following neck and neck in the fourth round of the relative an agreement concluded by the “grand coalition” after majority of the votes cast[2].

  • European Parliament Mid-Term Election: What Impact on Migration Policy?
    www.epc.eu 16 March 2017 01/12/2009 European Parliament mid-term election: what impact on migration policy? Marco Funk As the dust settles from the European Parliament’s (EP) mid-term election held on 17 January 2017, migration continues to top the EU’s agenda. The election of Antonio Tajani to replace Martin Schulz as president of the EP brought the institution under the leadership of the European People’s Party (EPP) after a power-sharing agreement with the socialist S&D was cancelled and replaced by a last-minute deal with the liberal ALDE group. A closer look at Tajani’s election and associated reshuffle of key internal positions suggests little change in the EP’s course on migration in the short term. However, upcoming developments may significantly change Parliament dynamics in the longer term. New president, different style Antonio Tajani is considered by many to be a less political, less activist president compared to Martin Schulz. The former is also apparently less willing to insist on a prominent role for the EP than the latter. Furthermore, Tajani shares the same conservative political affiliation as the heads of the European Commission and European Council, which makes ideological confrontations with Jean-Claude Juncker and Donald Tusk even less likely than under Schulz, who had few disagreements with either. While Schulz already maintained good relations with Juncker and closely coordinated responses to the large influx of refugees in 2015/2016, Tajani is even better placed to cooperate effectively due to his previous Commission experience and ideological alignment. Despite Tajani’s association with Italy’s populist conservative leader Silvio Berlusconi, he has adopted a more mainstream conservative political identity, which ultimately won him the EPP’s support.

  • General Performance of the Polish Presidency
    117 GENERAL PERFORMANCE OF THE POLISH PRESIDENCY Piotr Maciej Kaczyński* The Treaty of Lisbon has made the rotating Council Presidency politically irrelevant. Before December 2009, national leaders controlled the activities of the Council, and the relationship between the Council and the Parliament favoured the Council much more than after December 2009. On the one hand, under the new rules the Council has lost political weight and is now balanced in almost all its activities by the European Parliament. The European Council, on the other hand, has largely taken political clout over from the Council Presidency, as it now has its own permanent president, and there is no special role left for the rotating Presidency. On top of these things, not only have the Council powers regarding other institutions been limited, but also within the Council the rotating Presidency has been limited by the permanent chair of the Foreign Affairs Council and many of the subsidiary working parties and committees. Because of all these limitations, the rotating Presidency is no longer a Union Presidency. If this concept was not yet fully visible before the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second semester of 2011, then the Polish experience was very telling. Poland is a larger EU member state; it was committed to the preparations for the Presidency for a number of years and had a dedicated political and administrative leadership. The Polish officials executed the Presidency effectively although they were doing it for the first time. And still, they fell short with political weight. Their leverage over the European Council was similar to every other country’s leverage over the European Council.

Niemal od początku jego funkcjonowania nie cichną dywagacje na temat ewentualnych zmian personalnych, a od wielu miesięcy w mediach pojawiają się informacje o planach dotyczących poważnej rekonstrukcji. Pewne zmiany zapowiedział sam premier. W październikowym sondażu1 spytaliśmy Polaków o ocenę poszczególnych ministrów i stosunek do ewentualnej rekonstrukcji rządu. OCENA MINISTRÓW Na ranking najlepiej i najgorzej ocenianych ministrów duży wpływ ma stopień rozpoznawalności poszczególnych członków rządu. Mało znani ministrowie2 są rzadko wskazywani zarówno jako dobrzy, jak i źli ministrowie. Najlepiej ocenianym ministrem, dystansującym pozostałych członków rządu, jest minister spraw zagranicznych Radosław Sikorski (33%). Na drugim miejscu znalazł się minister kultury i dziedzictwa narodowego Bogdan Zdrojewski (17%). Niemal co ósmy Polak uważa, że najlepiej swoje obowiązki pełnią premier Donald Tusk (13%) i wicepremier Janusz Piechociński (12%). Piątym z najlepiej ocenianych ministrów jest minister administracji i cyfryzacji Michał Boni (10%). Stosunkowo niewielu Polaków za najlepszego ministra uznało kierującego resortem

  • Good Afternoon. My Name Is Ron Mcnamara. Welcome to This Briefing of the Helsinki Commission on Developments in Belarus
    Good afternoon. My name is Ron McNamara. Welcome to this briefing of the Helsinki Commission on developments in Belarus. I'm currently serving as the international policy director for the commission. In the format of our briefings, after the presentations are delivered this afternoon, we'll have an opportunity for any questions from the audience. The couple things that we ask is that you identify yourself, any affiliation that you may have, and please try to keep your question fairly succinct and to the point. And if there's a particular panelist that you're interested in having respond, please indicate that as well. Our co-chairman, Congressman Christopher Smith, had hoped to attend this afternoon -- some of you may be aware that he was the author of the Belarus Democracy Act -- but his responsibilities in the House prevent him from participating. Another indication is that within 24 hours a full transcript of today's proceedings will be available on the commission's Web site, which is www.csce.gov. Again, greetings, and, as you know, Belarus will hold presidential elections in a little over six weeks. Just a few days ago, four candidates submitted their 100,000 voter signatures -- a requirement for registration. Authorities interfered in the signature collection process, harassing activists gathering signatures for opposition candidates. The pre-election environment thus far has not been conducive to a free and fair election process, but this comes as no surprise if we look at the conduct of the Belarusian authorities in recent elections, in 2001 and 2004, or for that matter if one reviews the nearly 12-year history of the rule of Aleksander Lukashenko, Europe's last dictator.

Rediscovering Eastern Europe for Science Diplomacy Marek Konarzewski and Grażyna Żebrowska N June 4, 1989, Poland enjoyed the first partially free parliamentary elections, Owhich paved the way to the fall of Communism in what was then the Eastern Block. The elections were preceded by the Round Table Talks between the opposition and the government, which engaged representatives from two very different political camps. Nevertheless, many of the participants of those historic talks had something important in common—they shared experiences gained through academic exchange programs offered by Western countries, such as the Fulbright Program. Even during the coldest periods of the Cold War, these programs remained a lifeline for the exchange of ideas among young scholars. Although the direct influence of these experiences is hard to gauge, it is quite telling that many of the individuals involved in the profound political changes that swept through Central and Eastern Europe in 1989 and 1990 were alumni of such programs. Twenty years later, Poland and other former countries of the Eastern Block are in a completely different political and economic setting. Poland, along with ten other countries, joined the European Union in 2004.
