Специалисты в области оценивания в образовании выделяют три роли оценивания: отбор, сертификация и повышение качества образования . Разворот дискуссии об оценивании качества в образовании априори определен кажущей понятной дефиницией «качество образования». Вероятно, это тот самый случай, когда можно использовать илличевскую парадигму6 о «сло- вах-амебах», которые настолько пластичны, что вполне могут скрывать за собой бессмысленные понятия. В ...

Знакомство с Татьяной Владимировной, длящееся уже более тридцати лет, обернулось для меня тем, что русская культура стала мне более близкой во всей, однако, её чужеродности, и, наоборот, родная мне немецкая культура, которая представлялась прежде совершенно естественной, потеряла отчасти свою естественную естественность. Приведенные ниже заметки написаны в 2006 году, в начале моей второй (и предпоследней) «пятилетки» ...

The paper outlines a link between two theoretical perspectives on the prerequisites of high institutional quality and long run growth. One framework is based on the trade-off between disorder and dictatorship and introduces the notion of the institutional possibility frontier (IPF). The idea of IPF implies that social institutions can be situated on the continuum ...

This article contributes to current discussions on state capacity, quality of institutions, and political regimes. Our analysis demonstrates that the J-curve argument (“good institutions” in autocracies as compared to hybrid and transitional regimes) may not be generic and is not well supported by empirical evidence from the sample of post-Soviet countries. An explanatory model of ...

Assuming that there is a “missing factor” in the modern corruption studies, authors develop
a new conceptual approach to the study of corruption and effectiveness of anti-corruption
regulations in the public service. This “missing factor” is a “corruption market”, particularly, its
size, type and nature. Conflict of interest regulations aim at controlling key channels of corruption
behavior, and corruption ...

Unlike democracies, autocracies can be stable only if they satisfy the population's material expectations. To that end, they need effective state institutions. This confronts an autocratic ruler with a dilemma: such institutions endanger the nontransparent distribution of resources to the powerful elites, who support the regime. Therefore, autocracies are also extremely vulnerable to upheavals in the global ...
