  • Approaching the Northern and Southern Neighbours of the European Union
    Approaching the Northern and Southern Neighbours of the European Union Dacian DUNA Abstract: This paper approaches what may be regarded as two ‘dimensions’ of the EU security and cooperation: the Northern and the Southern. The Northern Dimension is highly institutionalized and it developed a model of partnership and multi-level governance which inspired the European Neighbourhood Policy. At the same time, the process in the Euro- Mediterranean region has been much slower, due to the deeper divisions between the European coastal states and the African or Asian coastal states. The aim of the paper is not to provide a comprehensive analysis of the ENP. It emphasizes the ‘foundational’ moment of 2003 for the new European neighbourhood policy, noticing that much of the challenges and dilemmas have remained intact and still need to be addressed by the EU and its neighbours in their quest for security and identity. Keywords: European Union, neighbourhood, security, strategy, cooperation **** The Assessment of the European Neighbourhood Policy in the South Caucasus: What the European Union can do? Irina POP Abstract : The European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) is now the flagship policy of the European Union towards its neighbours. Although the ENP did not include the South Caucasus countries from the beginning, last years brought important changes in this respect. The development of the ENP in the South Caucasus can be understood as the result of the European internal debates, of the institutional corrections made by the European Commission and of the external events’ influence over the Union. The European Neighbourhood Policy still needs further improvements, especially concerning the Eastern neighbours.

Abstract The Erasmus programme promotes student mobility within the European Union largely on the assumption that mobile students will become more pro-European. This article presents the results of a panel study of Erasmus students which suggest that, while former Erasmus students may be more pro-European than their peers, this is because students who choose to take part are already more pro-European.

  • The Impact of Erasmus Programme on the Organizational Learning Capacity and Globalization
    ISSN:2229- 6247 Burak Yıldız et al | International Journal of Business Management and Economic Research(IJBMER), Vol 7(2),2016, 619-631 The Impact of Erasmus Programme on the Organizational Learning Capacity and Globalization Burak Yıldız Istanbul Arel University, Istanbul, Turkey İzlem Gözükara Istanbul Arel University, Istanbul, Turkey Osman Yıldırım Istanbul Arel University, Istanbul, Turkey Abstract Globalization is among the most discussed subjects of research recently because it has both positive and negative impacts on all social structures and organizations. Many people consider globalization as a rescue to be embraced right away, while others have completely opposite thoughts. During globalization, countries struggle with a significant issue to offer an education system which would maintain the cultural and natural values as they provide the essential components of a global world such as acquisition of information, skills, attitudes and behaviors. Such education systems and organizations require a learning capacity in order to survive and success. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine organizational learning capacity and globalization through the mediator role of the Erasmus Programme in higher education institutions. The study data was collected using a survey-based method. SPSS and AMOS software programs were used for data analysis. The results showed that organizational learning capacity has a positive impact on globalization, in which the Erasmus Programme acts as a mediator. Keywords: Organizational learning capacity, globalization, Erasmus, higher education institutions 1. INTRODUCTION The introduction of Internet and social networks with the communication and information technologies has brought great transformations in social, political, economic and cultural life. Defined as the globalization process, such advances have improved people's opportunities to access experiences and information in other parts of the world easily.

  • General Conditions: Erasmus + Scholarship for Study Period Abroad at a Partner Higher Education Institution
    General conditions: Erasmus + scholarship for study period abroad at a partner higher education institution Duration: The student may receive grants for mobility periods totalling up to 360 days maximum per each cycle of study (Bachelor, Master, PhD), independently from the number and type of mobility activities. If for the requested mobility the total amount goes over 360 days, the entire mobility cannot be granted. The study period abroad must take a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 12 months (360 days, 30 days/month). Prior experience under Erasmus Programme counts towards the 360 days per study cycle. A study period abroad needs to be a full-time study. A study period abroad may include a traineeship period as well. Countries: These are the countries that belong to the Erasmus+ programme (situation 2021): Member States of the European Union (EU) Belgium Greece Lithuania Portugal Bulgaria Spain Luxembourg Romania Czech France Hungary Slovenia Republic Croatia Malta Slovakia Denmark Italy Netherlands* Finland Germany Cyprus Austria Sweden Estonia Latvia Poland Ireland Non EU Programme Countries United Kingdom* North Macedonia Iceland Norway Serbia Liechtenstein Turkey Students of Fontys will not get an Erasmus+ Scholarship if they do their Minor in the Netherlands. The United Kingdom is for study semesters that start in the spring and fall semesters of 2021 and spring 2022 still an eligible country for Erasmus+ Scholarships. The situation from fall 2022 is different. You need to move to another country for the duration of your Study Abroad, regardless of your nationality. For example: a German student, living in Germany, but studying his degree programme in the Netherlands can not receive an Erasmus+ scholarship for Study Abroad in Germany.

  • Young Rural Women's Perspectives on the Impact of Education Supported Development Projects on Their Lives: Cases from Upper Egypt Governorates
    Running: FINAL THESIS REPORT The American University in Cairo Graduate School of Education YOUNG RURAL WOMEN‘S PERSPECTIVES ON THE IMPACT OF EDUCATION SUPPORTED DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS ON THEIR LIVES: CASES FROM UPPER EGYPT GOVERNORATES A Thesis Report Submitted to The Department of Comparative and International Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in International and Comparative Education by Ola Hosny (under the supervision of Dr. Nagwa Megahed) (Read by Dr. Ted Purinton) 2014 FINAL RESEARCH REPORT ON RURAL’S WOMEN PERSPECTIVES ON DEVELOP. PROJECTS IN UPPER EGYPT ii Abstract Over the last years, young rural women‘s vulnerability to the social and economic conditions became the focus of the literature (El Laithy, na). Current studies show that women‘s capacities to participate in the development processes of their communities have been jammed with unequal gender, socio-economic and power relations (Kabeer, 2012). Yet, many development programs were designed and implemented to reach deprived women from different socio-economic backgrounds, educate or train them, build their capacities and prepare them to join the labor market and be active members inside their communities (USAID, 2013). This research study examines young rural women‘s perspectives in Upper Egypt governorates on the impact of the education supported development projects on their lives, calling for an update of the state of knowledge of the effect of development projects on specific areas such as; women empowerment, gender equity, civil society enhancement and the integration of social stratification in underprivileged communities. The main findings explored in this study revealed the urgent need of placing the following changes inside the intervened communities; establishing social accountability, building social resilience, effecting scaffolding, resolving ideological debates and integrating projects‘ social cohesion inside the villages‘ communities.
