基本説明
Here university is seen from a variety of perspectives (mainly educational sciences, political economy, sociology, political sciences, and philosophy).
Description
(Short description)
"Dia-Logos. Studies in Philosophy and Social Sciences" is a peer-reviewed book series publishing monographs and edited volumes on various aspects of philosophy and social sciences. It is intended to be an interdisciplinary forum of deliberation according to our belief that challenges of the contemporary world require common and multilevel research. The series does not represent a single ideology or school of thought, but it is open to different trends and various styles of reflection.
(Text)
This book argues that the current renegotiation of the postwar social contract concerning the welfare state in Europe is being accompanied by the renegotiation of a smaller-scale modern social pact between the university and the nation-state. Current transformations to the state under the pressures of globalization will not leave the university unaffected, and consequently it is useful to discuss the university and its future in the context of the state. In the new global order, against the odds, universities are striving to maintain their pivotal role in society. Their role as engines of economic growth and contributors to economic competitiveness between increasingly knowledge-driven economies is being widely acknowledged. But it is a radical reformulation of their traditional social roles. The main reasons for current transformations of the university include globalization pressures on nation-states and their public services, the end of the "Golden age" of the Keynesian welfare state, and the emergence of knowledge-based societies and knowledge-driven economies. Therefore the university can no longer be discussed solely in traditional, relatively self-contained disciplinary contexts. Here the university is seen from a variety of perspectives and through the lens of a wide range of disciplines (mainly educational sciences, political economy, sociology, political sciences, and philosophy).
