Inhalt: "A study funded by the European Commission, relating to gender specific differences in learning achievements, shows among other things that whilst gender equality is a hot topic in many countries a general equality policy is not always advocated. More importantly, measures to reduce gender differences in achievement seem to focus primarily on the underachievement of boys. In this publication, historical aspects and current trends within 12 European countries, regarding gender equality in education are presented and compared. The country studies and comparative analysis will inform and inspire everybody who is interested in gender issues in education." (publisher's description).

Reforming university governance : changing conditions for research in four European countries

Inhalt: "University governance reforms have been spreading across Europe since the early 1980s. The introduction of management concepts into the university sector brought about a major reorganization of state-university relationships as well as intrainstitutional decision-making. The focus of this book is to systematically identify reform objectives and reform achieved in individual European countries. Four country studies trace the implementation of managerial governance regimes for universities in the two countries which were the first in Europe to embark on such reforms (the 'forerunners' England and the Netherlands) and in two countries which had a relatively recent start in implementing change (the 'latecomers' Austria and Germany). The book concludes with a comprehensive comparison of reforms and of their results in the countries studied and provides an outlook on their possible consequences for research. The book constitutes a first outcome of a project entitled 'Comparing management and self-governance models of universities - An international comparison of university decision-making processes and their consequences for research in practice'. The project forms part of an interdisciplinary research group which receives funding from the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG). The research is conducted jointly by researchers from the Institute of Sociology of the University of Hagen (Germany), the International Centre for Higher Education Research (INCHER-Kassel) at the University of Kassel (Germany), and the Center for Higher Education Policy Studies (CHEPS) at the University of Twente (the Netherlands)."

Inhalt: "The international mobility of students has considerably gained ground as a major policy in Europe over the last decades. As a result of the heightened political importance attached to international mobility, and the manifold practical attempts to increase it, there is an enhanced need for comprehensive, up-to-date, and reliable information on the phenomenon: statistical data on mobility are needed to measure progress - or otherwise - towards the various mobility goals and thus to inform the political actors of the impact of the programmes and other measures launched. However, data measuring real mobility (as opposed to foreign nationality) is not always available and is rarely sufficiently differentiated. This publication has therefore a double objective. First, it investigates which data on international mobility are being compiled and made available and which are not, both at the international, the national and the programme level. Second, this study presents in one volume the student mobility data identified, and - based on an analysis of these data - it tries to depict a picture of the main trends in international student mobility into and out of 32 European countries. Next to analysing and presenting the availability and quality of data on international student mobility, this report also makes recommendations for the improvement of student mobility statistics both at national and international level."

Inhalt: "Although European policy initiatives to advance the position of women in Academia (and especially in science) have proliferated, both at national and EU levels, serious inequities of many kinds remain. This situation is exposed and investigated in this outstanding book, which presents reports and discussions from a two-day conference held at the Law Faculty of Lund University in December 2004. The participants - law professors and social scientists - present detailed reports on domestic experiences and regulations in eight European countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Among the many provocative issues raised and explored are the following: - 'positive action' in theory and practice; - the progress of the EU Commission's strategy to integrate equal opportunity into all Community policies and activities; - the motives for promoting women in Academia; - the importance not only of setting targets but of funding to achieve them; - the extensive group of part-timers and fixed-term employees at the margin of the traditional academic career; - the importance of creating a situation in Academia were 'woman excellence' shows; and - the development of 'marketable' research disciplines embodied in private research institutes."

Inhalt: In seinen Richtlinien für die Nationalen Aktionspläne für Beschäftigung 1999 hat die EU-Kommission das Konzept des "Gender Mainstreaming" eingeführt, demzufolge die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter Teil jeder Beschäftigungspolitik im Bereich der vier Säulen dieser Strategie sein muss. Hiermit wird das anspruchsvolle Ziel verfolgt, im Bereich der Arbeit vollständige Gleichheit zwischen Frauen und Männern herzustellen, sei es auf dem Arbeitsmarkt oder zu Hause. Die nationalstaatlichen Beschäftigungs- und Sozialsysteme der EU-Staaten werden damit mit Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die je nach den Geschlechterverhältnissen und geltenden Regelungen unterschiedlich sind. In diesem Kontext werden Beiträge zu folgenden Themen vorgelegt: 1. Ansätze der Gleichberechtigungspolitik im Beschäftigungssystem in den letzten zwanzig Jahren; 2. Evaluation der Wirkung dieser Ansätze; 3. Veränderungen der geschlechtsspezifischen Erwerbsquoten und Auswirkungen auf die häusliche Arbeitsteilung; 4. Anwendung des Gender Mainstreaming-Konzepts; 5. Auswirkungen der EU-Politik zum Gender Mainstreaming in den Mitgliedstaaten. (ICEÜbers)
Inhalt: "In its guidelines for the 1999 National Action Plans on Employment, EU-Commission introduced the concept of 'gender mainstreaming', according to which equality between the sexes must be a component of every employment policy conducted under all four pillars of the strategy. The extremely ambitions goal pursued by this gender mainstreaming approach is to achieve full equality between women and men in relation to work, both on the formal labour market and in the home. As such, it confronts the different national welfare and employment systems of the EU member states with a range of challenges that vary depending on the specific gender arrangements and contracts in place in each country. This book gathers together expert contributions to the debate on these issues, covering developments in a range of countries. The following are some of the aspects examined: the main approaches to equal opportunities policy in the employment sphere implemented in the last twenty years; an evaluation of the impact of such policies; changes in gendered labour markett participation rates and the impact on the division of labour in the home; application rates and the impact on the division of labour in the home; application of the concept of gender mainstreeaming under the different quidelines; the impact of the EU's emphasis on gender mainstreaming in the countries concerned."
