Experience and Educationis the best concise statement on education ever published by John Dewey, the man acknowledged to be the pre-eminent educational theorist of the twentieth century. Written more than two decades after Democracy and Education(Dewey's most comprehensive statement of his position in educational philosophy), this book demonstrates how Dewey reformulated his ideas as a result of his intervening experience with the progressive schools and in the light of the criticisms his theories had received. Analysing both "traditional" and "progressive" education, Dr. Dewey here insists that neither the old nor the new education is adequate and that each is miseducative because neither of them applies the principles of a carefully developed philosophy of experience. Many pages of this volume illustrate Dr. Dewey's ideas for a philosophy of experience and its relation to education. He particularly urges that all teachers and educators looking for a new movement in education should think in terms of the deeped and larger issues of education rather than in terms of some divisive "ism" about education, even such an "ism" as "progressivism." His philosophy, here expressed in its most essential, most readable form, predicates an American educational system that respects all sources of experience, on that offers a true learning situation that is both historical and social, both orderly and dynamic.

What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative—leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about the impact of resource centralization and dependency, goal ambiguity and technical uncertainty, and professionalization and structuration on isomorphic change. Finally, we suggest implications for theories of organizations and social change.

Understanding Multiplexity of Collaborative Emergency Management Networks

This article deals with the currently widely discussed concept of regional governance and investigates the roles this concept actually plays within rural development policy and its implementation in Germany. The main question is whether or not ‘regional governance’ is just a fashionable scientific term. Can we really observe impacts of the regional governance discussion on policies for sustainable regional development in rural areas in Germany? To answer this question the programmatic statements of the EU community initiative LEADER+ are analysed against the background of the most important regional governance criteria. Subsequently, a deeper look into the implementation of LEADER+ in six German regions shows that regional governance still needs some forms of hierarchical co-ordination by higher levels of state. Some major problems for the implementation of regional governance in LEADER+ as well as some important positive impacts of the programme are identified. These show that, despite all potential problems, the concept of regional governance has the potential to make a significant contribution to the successful development of rural areas.

Regional Governance and Rural Development in Germany: the Implementation of LEADER+

KurzfassungUnter Fortentwicklung der Theorie der Netzwerke als „intermediärer Strukturen” zur Bearbeitung regionalwirtschaftlicher Entwicklungsprobleme wird in dem Beitrag der Frage nachgegangen, wann und warum Netzwerke die an sie gestellten Erwartungen nicht erfüllen. Nach einem Überblick über den Stand der Diskussion zur Funktionsfähigkeit der Netzwerke werden die Begriffe „Clique”, „soziale Zirkel” und „zentrale Zirkel” sowie „gerichtete” und „ungerichtete Netzwerke” als Teil von „Netzwerken der Netzwerke” eingeführt, um die vielschichtige Systemlogik von Netzwerken deutlich zu machen. Diese vielschichtige Systemlogik kann Schwächen haben, welche die Wirkungen der Netzwerke behindern. Es kann dann zu strukturkonservierenden Wirkungen kommen, auf die im zweiten Teil des Beitrags eingegangen wird. Daraus werden empirisch meßbare Merkmale für Schwächen in „Netzwerken der Netzwerke” abgeleitet, die Gegenstand einer Untersuchung sind, die von den Autoren zur Zeit in der Region Hannover durchgeführt wird.

Regionale Akteursnetzwerke: Zur Rolle von Netzwerken in regionalen Umstrukturierungsprozessen

The development of regions depends on the social capital of regional actors. Reliable relations between actors help to move in a personal network. Social capital is a connecting bridge supporting the exchange of resources between actors. According to Coleman there are two basic principles which have to be maintained in order to create sufficiently social capital: "closure" and stability of social networks. Only in social networks with closure the actors may effectively combine their resources in collective sanctions. Examples for closure in social networks are cliques, social circles and multiplex relations. In the center of the analysis is the interaction between these patterns of relations and the influence of actors on regional decision processes. Based on empirical data collected from elite actors in the region of Hannover/Germany we show that closure of social structures facilitates the creation and maintenance of social capital in actor networks. In contrast to hierarchical instruments such as plans or promotional programs cooperation models which are based on the understanding and self-control of the actors concerned gain more and more importance in regional development. This cooperation is supported and coordinated by "regional management". A prerequisite condition for self control is a network between the actors, which does not a priori follow certain aims. It is supposed: If "purpose-open" networks are successful, they are a productive collective property. Therefore they belong to the infrastructure of a region and strengthen its social capital. Regional management may use this productive collective property. But it may and has to form and support regional networks as well in order to improve the chances of development of a region by cooperation. With the example of the region of Hannover/Germany the paper shows information about regional networks that can be gained in practice, and it presents interpretation possibilities with regard to regional development of the network structures found and describes starting points for action based on this interpretation.

Regional Actor Networks Between Social Capital and Regional Governance

Eine Studie des Gesamtverbandes der Wohnungswirtschaft pragte den Begriff der „uberforderten Nachbarschaften“, um die Situation von Stadtraumen mit einer raumlichen Konzentration benachteiligter Bevolkerungsgruppen zu kennzeichnen (vgl. GdW 1998). Das Etikett unterstreicht, dass die soziale Kohasion unter der Bevolkerung nur schwach ausgebildet ist und es im Endeffekt zu zugespitzten sozialen Spannungen zwischen Bewohnergruppen kommt.

Aufbau von Netzwerken als Kernaufgabe des Quartiersmanagements

In Folge des demographisch bedingten Wandels der Bedarfsstrukturen werden nicht nur innovative Einzelprojekte gebraucht, sondern es sind die Konzepte, Modelle und Methoden der Sozialplanung weiterzuentwickeln, um das Entstehen innovativer Perspektiven anzuregen. Ein solcher Ansatz ist die hier skizzierte „Netzwerkplanung“: Statt neue Einzelinfrastrukturen zu planen, kooperieren im Sozialraum verschiedene Akteure aus Verwaltung, Bildungswesen, Gesundheitswesen, sozialer Arbeit, Kultur und Zivilgesellschaft, um die Beziehungsnetze unter den alteren Menschen und zwischen den Generationen zu starken.

Bei der Erfullung zentraler kommunaler Aufgaben hat die Europaische Union zunehmend an politikfeldubergreifender Bedeutung gewonnen Die Herausforderung der Kommunen besteht darin, das Prinzip der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung in der Europaischen Union durch dauerhafte Anstrengungen auf der nationalen und europaischen Ebene zu festigen und auszubauen Der Vertrag von Lissabon hat indirekte Moglichkeiten der Einflussnahme geschaffen Welche politischen und administrativen Strategien haben Kommunen wie die Stadt Koln bisher entwickelt, um in den Governancestrukturen des EU-Mehrebenenmodells aktiv mitzuwirken? Inwieweit fuhrt der Vertrag von Lissabon zu Anpassungen, damit Kommunen fur dieses veranderte System besser ausgestattet sind?
In einer Netzwerkanalyse wird exemplarisch eine Landkarte der Netzwerkpfade zwischen der Stadt Koln und der Europaischen Union nachgezeichnet Daraus werden Netzwerkstrategien fur Kommunen im EU-Mehrebenensystem abgeleitet
