Refashioning neopatrimonialism in an interface bureaucracy : Nigerian higher educationWillott, Christopher January 2009 (has links)
The African state has received numerous analyses in academic literature. The vast majority of these studies focus on the essence of the state rather than how it is experienced and lived by its citizens and therefore sacrifice empirical knowledge of state function in favour of abstract conceptualisation. Much academic literature, especially the neopatrimonial approach dominant in political science, examines African states through the prism of Weberian logic and suggests that, because states do not conform to a rational-legal ideal, they must therefore be deficient. These analyses also frequently downplay the impact of colonial rule and postcolonial state formation and politics on the character of contemporary African states, instead stressing the continuities between pre-colonial and modern patterns of rule. This thesis eschews a normative understanding of the state in favour of an approach grounded in everyday action through analysis of the workings of the Nigerian higher education sector. I argue that this sector is a microcosm of broader state-society relations. The thesis draws on primary data collected through ethnographic methods to analyse how providers and users of a university in south-eastern Nigeria negotiate their passage into, and through, a highly complex and flexible institution. The thesis argues that, among both students and staff, achieving success in Nigerian higher education is dependent on a combination of merit, personal connections and money. The importance of these three elements suggests a system in which norms rooted in bureaucracy (merit), patron-clientism (personal connections) and financial corruption (money) intersect. My empirical research suggests that characterisations of African states as wholly captured by society and functioning as little more than vehicles for particularistic advancement, both central elements of much neopatrimonial state literature, are therefore inaccurate. The thesis also places the Nigerian state in historical context, arguing that, while some patterns of pre-colonial behaviour remain important in contemporary Nigeria, they have been fundamentally altered by colonialism and its aftermath. This thesis offers an important corrective to the rather abstract and normative ideas that underpin the theory of the African neopatrimonial state. It argues that a better understanding of the state requires a stronger focus on the routine and real experiences of service providers and users and their daily interactions.

Incremental State Higher Education ExpendituresShelley, Gary L., Wright, David B. 01 January 2009 (has links)
Panel regressions are used to analyze various measures of state higher education expenditures for 45 states over a time period from 1986 through 2005. Results of panel stationarity tests indicate that each expenditures series contains a unit root. This finding is consistent with the incremental theory of public expenditures and implies that time series of these variables should be differenced if used as dependent variables in regression models. Regression results indicate that changes in state higher education expenditures are significantly procyclical. State higher education spending appears to fully adjust to population growth and over-adjust to CPI inflation. Larger state governments are associated with significantly larger annual adjustments to per capita real state higher education expenditures. No significant evidence is found that state Medicaid or elementary education expenditures crowd out higher education spending.

Valstybinės švietimo strategijos įgyvendinimo aukštąjame moksle problemos / The realization problems of state higher education strategyRazmaitė, Jurgita 27 August 2009 (has links)
Šio magistrinio darbo tikslas - nustatyti, kokias įgyvendinimo problemas akademinė bendruomenė įžvelgia. Valstybinė švietimo strategija priimta 2003 m. liepos 4 d. Seime, kurioje numatyta įgyvendinimo krypčių sistema. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į kokybišką išsilavinimą, valdymo kultūrą ir galimybes mokytis visą gyvenimą. Išskiriamos penkios Valstybinės švietimo strategijos įgyvendinimo kryptys: valdymas, infrastruktūra, parama, turinys ir personalas. Empirinis tyrimas parodo, kad svarbiausi Valstybinėje švietimo strategijos siekių kontekste yra aukštojo mokslo finansavimas, mokymo modernizavimas, dabartinis studentų krūvis, priklausantis nuo informacinių technologijų diegimo, kurios palengvintų studentų mokymosi kokybę. Nuo 2009 m. įvedamas studentų krepšelis ( valstybės lėšos), kuris visiškai padengs studentų studijų išlaidų didesniąją dalį. Švietimo įstaigos turi padėti asmenims įgyti tokią kvalifikaciiją, kuri tenkintų šių dienų poreikius, atitiktų šiuolaikines technologijas. / The main aim of this work is to determine what problems of realization the academic community perceives. The system of realization trends was projected in the state education strategy enacted on the 4th of July in 2003 by Parliament. It is paid attention to the calibre, the management culture and the opportunity to learn all the life. There are five the realization trends of state education strategy: the management, the infrastructure, the support, the content and the personnel. The analysis of the research shows that the finance of higher education, the modernization of teaching, the present learning load of students which belongs to the implementation of information technology are the main trends of state education strategy. The finances of a state will be introduced in 2009 which will offset the best part expenses of students learning. The educational institution should have to help persons to gain the qualification which should meet the requirements of these days and satisfy modern technology.
