Popular Politicians: The Interaction Between Politics and Popular Culture in the Netherlands, 1950s–1980s

ABSTRACT

From the late 1950s onwards, the Netherlands witnessed a transformation of the emotional codes of politics. A culture of political leadership marked by notions of duty and restraint, made way for self-expression and authenticity. This article argues that the interaction between the spheres of politics and popular culture played a vital role in this transformation. The practices and discourses of popular culture became a significant part of the repertoire through which politicians articulated representative claims. The article traces how politicians negotiated their interaction with popular culture, started to cultivate a private persona and eventually turned into political celebrities.     

Student Success in University Education: A Multi-measurement Study of the Impact of Student and Faculty Factors on Study Progress

This study focuses on the factors that determine study progress and numerical success rate in higher education. Study progress is influenced at three levels, namely the student level, course/institute level and government level. It is expected that various groups of economic, social, psychological and organisational factors will together influence the study progress. This study uses a multi-level and multi-disciplinary framework, in so far as it considers all of these factors at the different levels. The database contains about 9,000 students and 60 courses at the institutional level. The results show the relative importance of student level and institutional factors on study progress.

走向管理主义——荷兰大学内部治理结构变迁研究

从19世纪初起,荷兰对大学一直实施严格的监管制度。20世纪60年代的大学民主化运动激发了荷兰高等教育的风暴,从而导致荷兰在20世纪70年代初期建立了以代议制民主制度为核心的大学治理结构,高度强调大学治理的民主参与。但近三十年后,集中权力、等级结构、效率和效益成为荷兰大学治理的新关键词。随着1997年《大学治理现代化法案》颁布,大学治理的民主参与模式让位于更像企业管理的治理结构,荷兰大学治理呈现出新的景象。     

Macroappraisal in the Netherlands. The First Ten Years, 1991–2001, and Beyond

A new appraisal method for national government records introduced in the 1990s aimed at reducing backlogs in the transfer of pre-1976 records to the National Archives of the Netherlands. Since then, appraisal and disposition decisions are based on macro analysis. Preventing new backlogs from occurring was a second goal. The socalled project PIVOT (1991–2001 and after) coordinated the introduction, development, and implementation of the new appraisal method. This article describes the objectives, method, and appraisal criteria, as well as the criticism and laborious progress of this ongoing story. This article is a revised and enlarged version of an earlier publication, “Makrohindamine Hollandis. Eskimesed kümme aanstat: 1991–2001”, TUNA Ajalookultuuri ajakiri 4 (2003): 150–154.

荷兰高校科研评估实践及启示

随着公共财政对高校科研投入的增加,政府部门和公众越来越关注高校科研经费的使用效率和效益,这使得高校科研评估在近年来逐渐成为了一个非常快速发展的领域。正是在这样的大背景下,为评估高校科研的水平及其发展策略,荷兰建立了比较全面、系统的高校科研评估制度,对我国开展高校科研评估产生了有益的启示。

Educational Research: Language and Content. Lessons in Publication Policies from the Low Countries

Owing to the growing internationalisation of research, educational researchers in the Netherlands are increasingly expected to publish through the medium of the English language. Though this undoubtedly benefits the communication between scholars, there are also side-effects. This paper discusses problematic issues from three perspectives: (i) the use of a non-native language for communication between scholars in the area of education; (ii) the use either exclusively, or not, of a publication record of such publications for purposes of recruitment and promotion of staff; (iii) the relationships between research groups of different disciplines and/or universities. It will be argued that the demand to publish exclusively in a non-native language has damaging effects as far as the context of education is concerned. Not only will it lead to a denial of one's own background and culture, but the uniformisation, (which is the result of it), will also stifle the rich educational landscape by allowing the publication only of items of international interest. The model of the natural sciences is not adequate for the context of education because of the necessarily more local character of the content of educational problems and production of strategies to deal with these. Thus it will become clear that the integrity of the educational researcher is at stake as the research area is selected.
