Mengenal Kapitalisme dan Bagaimana Mengalahkannya

Tulisan dalam buku ini membahas apa itu kapitalisme, tetapi dengan penekanan yang berbeda. Tulisan pertama Gérard Duménil dan Duncan Foley lebih berfokus pada aspek eko- nomi dari kapitalisme. Mereka merangkum teori Marx tentang cara produksi kapitalis, seperti yang dipaparkannya dalam tiga jilid Kapital. Tulisan itu mulai dari menempatkan cara produksi kapitalis sebagai satu epos tertentu dalam sejarah manusia, kemu- dian masuk ke dalam definisi kapital sebagai nilai yang mengeks- pansi dirinya sendiri, baru membahas berbagai macam proses dan entitas yang terkait dengannya, seperti proses sirkulasi, komoditas, uang, dan sebagainya. Dalam pembahasannya, kapitalisme tampil sebagai sebuah struktur dengan kecenderungan ini dan itu di dalamnya. Dan tulisan oleh Michael A. Lebowitz juga membahas aspek- aspek struktural dari kapitalisme, tetapi penekanannya adalah pada aktor yang bertarung dalam kapitalisme, yaitu kapital dan kelas pekerja. Kapital di sini tampil sebagai aktor yang punya kepentingan mengakumulasi dirinya dan berusaha secara aktif menun- dukkan lawannya yang punya kepentingan yang bertentangan dengannya, yaitu kelas pekerja dengan kepentingan kemaslaha- tannya. Perjuangan kelas, dengan demikian, adalah sesuatu yang inheren dalam kapitalisme. Dalam tulisannya, Lebowitz tidak ha- nya membahas cara kerja kapital secara ekonomi, tapi juga membahas cara kapital menundukkan kelas pekerja secara politik, seperti dengan memakai negara dan memecah-belah kelas pekerja.

Moral Education and the Ethics of Self-Cultivation

Educational philosophies of self-cultivation as the cultural foundation and philosophical ethos for education have strong and historically effective traditions stretching back to antiquity in the classical ‘cradle’ civilizations of China and East Asia, India and Pakistan, Greece and Anatolia, focused on the cultural traditions in Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in the East and Hellenistic philosophy in the West. This volume in East-West dialogues in philosophy of education examines both Confucian and Western classical traditions revealing that although each provides its own distinct figure of the virtuous person, they are remarkably similar in their conception and emphasis on moral self-cultivation as a practical answer to how humans become virtuous. The collection also examines self-cultivation in Japanese traditions and also the nature of Michel Foucault’s work in relation to ethical and aesthetic ideals of Hellenistic self-cultivation.

Returning to Interpersonal Dialogue and Understanding Human Communication in the Digital Age

Digital collaboration is abundant in today’s world, but it is often problematic and does not provide an apt solution to the human need for comprehensive communication. Humans require more personal interactions beyond what can be achieved online. Returning to Interpersonal Dialogue and Understanding Human Communication in the Digital Age is a collection of innovative studies on the methods and applications of comparing online human interactions to face-to-face interactions. While highlighting topics including digital collaboration, social media, and privacy, this book is a vital reference source for public administrators, educators, businesses, academicians, and researchers seeking current research on the importance of non-digital communication between people.

The Italian Legal System

For fifty years, the first edition of The Italian Legal System has been the gold standard among English-language works on the Italian legal system. The book's original authors, Mauro Cappelletti, John Henry Merryman, and Joseph M. Perillo, provided not only an overview of Italian law, but a definition of the field, together with an important contribution to the general literature on comparative law. The book explains the unique "Italian style" in doctrine, law, and interpretation and includes an extremely well-written introduction to Italian legal history, government, the legal profession, and civil procedure and evidence. In this fully-updated and revised second edition, authors Michael A. Livingston, Pier Giuseppe Monateri, and Francesco Parisi describe the substantial changes in Italian law and society in the intervening five decades—including the creation and impact of the European Union, as well as important advances in comparative law methodology. The second edition poses timely, relevant questions of whether and to what extent the unique Italian style of law has survived the pressures of European unification, American influence, and the globalization of law and society in the intervening period. The Italian Legal System, Second Edition is an important and stimulating resource for those with specific interest in Italy and those with a more general interest in comparative law and the globalization process.

The Pedagogy of the Open Society: Knowledge and the Governance of Higher Education

Re-reading Education Policies

This book collects studies with a 'critical education policy orientation', and presents itself as a handbook of matters of public concern. The term 'critical' does not refer to the adoption of a particular theoretical framework or methodology, but rather it refers to a very specific ethos or way of relating to the present and the belief that the future should not be the repetition of the past. This implies a concern about what is happening in our societies today and what could or should be happening in the future. As a consequence, the contributors to the book rely on a general notion of public policy that takes on board processes, practices, and discourses at a variety of levels, in diverse governmental and non-governmental contexts, and considers the relation of policy to power, to politics and to social regulation. Following the detailed introduction that aims at picturing the landscape of studies with a 'critical education policy orientation', the book presents re-readings of six policy challenges; globalization, knowledge society, lifelong learning, equality/democracy/social inclusion, accountability/control/efficiency and teacher professionalism. It seeks to contextualise these in relation to issues of current global concern at the start of the 21st century. Despite the diversity of approaches, this collection of critical education policy studies shares a concern with what could be called 'the public, and its education, ' and represents a snapshot of education policy research at a particular time.

Education Policy

Presents 38 specially commissioned or previously published (1988-98) studies on recent changes in education policy throughout the world over the last quarter of the 20th century.

Their general themes are the definition, analysis, criticism, and research of education policy; markets and economic development; education policy and the state; race, development, and culture; and social justice, literacy, and new technologies. There is no subject index.
