Abstract:

Many states currently are implementing “get tough” sentencing reforms in juvenile justice. Surprisingly, however, little attention has been given to evaluation issues identified by the adult justice sentencing literature as critical to assessments of efficacy. Analysis of one recent juvenile justice sentencing reform in Texas—determinate sentencing—provides an opportunity to highlight such issues and to demonstrate their relevance to assessment of other states' juvenile justice sentencing reforms. This article identifies the failure to attend adequately to design, implementation, use, and asse

Abstract:

Proponents of reframing argue that prophetic pragmatism entails redirecting contemporary education reforms. While this judgment may defend our professional standing, it overlooks the consequences of redirecting reform's appeals to global competition, which preclude public participation in defining the goals and measures of literacy education. This article forwards an alternate pragmatism for attending to the public consequences of reform discourse.

Abstract:

Although the impact of education policy reform could inform future policymaking initiatives, studies on education policy reform of student assessment are considered scarce. This study attempts to scrutinise the drivers, impacts, and challenges of education policy reform of the national assessment system in Malaysia based on policy documents and previous empirical studies. The findings indicated that the education policy reform of the Malaysian national assessment system is driven by the decline of pupils’ performance in international large-scale assessments.

Abstract:

This paper explores an under-studied channel for school finance inequality: property assessment. School districts have historically relied on local tax revenues (typically property taxes) to fund schools, which can generate disparities in funding across districts. Many states passed school finance reforms that give more state funding to poorer districts. These formulas typically discourage school districts from offsetting state funding by reducing local tax rates (“crowd out”). However, many reforms have not adequately addressed another source of inequality: property assessment accuracy and eq

Abstract:

Since the liberation of Bangladesh, the government of Bangladesh introduced a series of policy measures in agriculture and food sectors to encourage pro-market distribution of seeds, fertilizers, pesticides and diesel fuel for irrigation. The dominant feature of the policy reform had been the government’s liberalisation of the fertilizer and irrigation equipment markets. These reforms can be reasonably credited with the success in rice production during the 1984-1992 period. Reforms in the foodgrains market in the 1990s reduced the public sector involvement in these markets. Public procurement

We study the impact of post-1990 school finance reforms, during the so-called “adequacy” era, on absolute and relative spending and achievement in low-income school districts. Using an event study research design that exploits the apparent randomness of reform timing, we show that reforms lead to sharp, immediate, and sustained increases in spending in low-income school districts. Using representative samples from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, we find that reforms cause increases in the achievement of students in these districts, phasing in gradually over the years following

Regulatory reform proposals before Congress would potentially increase the role of economics in regulatory policymaking. These reforms seek to override existing legislative mandates, which usually prohibit economic trade-offs and have often led to inefficient expenditures. Proposed legislation would preempt these requirements and improve benefit-cost tests, making economic assessment a focal point of regulatory policy debates. Other reforms, such as the promotion of unbiased risk assessment and offsetting risk consequences of regulations, would also promote more efficient policies. Some less d

In each case, the reforms resulted from the adoption of recommendations, produced by a panel of experts, which constituted the design for a new system. Two features of the designs—their underlying philosophy and the status and technical adequacy of the recommendations—affected their prospects of success. Other influences were the experiences of teachers and public opinion as expressed and shaped through the media. Although substantial procedural changes were made to each assessment system

Current policy reports addressing mathematics education in American schools, such as Everybody Counts (NRC 1989), Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989), Professional Standards for Teaching Mathematics (NCTM 1991), and Assessment Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1995), call for sweeping reform in curricular, instructional, and assessment practices. Implementing the proposed reforms poses new opportunities and challenges for school districts, mathematics departments, and classroom teachers.

Purpose – In 2012, the eight UGC-funded higher education institutions in Hong Kong completed a multi-year process in which the majority of academic programmes were transformed from three-year to four-year undergraduate curricula to accommodate liberal arts education. The purpose of this paper is to discuss why stakeholders in Hong Kong felt that reforms were necessary and summarizes the implementation of these reforms. Afterwards, recent literature that has similarly addressed higher education reforms is reviewed. Finally, the results of a qualitative research study, grounded in glocalization

Abstract:

Cries for reform of insanity defense statutes are often associated with notorious cases involving heinous offenses. In fact, little research exists on the reforms sparked by such cases. Reforms initiated without data on their likely impacts may lead to illusory or unintended results. A strategy to assess such changes, and any other type of insanity defense reform, is articulated in this article. This approach is substantially different from the approaches of any published reports. It rests upon a multistate scope, a systemic focus, an assessment of impacts on the entire criminal process, and a

Abstract:

The Portuguese healthcare system is often portrayed as a National Health Service (NHS) model, characterized by universal coverage, comprehensive benefits, nearly free services, national tax financing, and public ownership or control of the factors of production. However, in reality the system fails to accomplish these features in a complete way. There coexist a number of occupation-related health insurance schemes that were originally intended to be integrated into the NHS. In addition, in key areas the NHS does not provide the wide range of services it promises. The public sector has a predom

Consequently, with the restoration of democratic rule in the country in 1999, the President Obasanjo-led government commissioned the World Bank to evaluate the nation’s public procurement system in 2000. The end result of the exercise was the Country’s Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR), which indicated that Nigeria had lost several hundreds of billions of Naira over the years owing to fragrant abuse of procurement proc

The paper also notes that the study of Russian history by Russian researchers of the late XIX – early XX centuries within the framework of the modernization paradigm and their attempts to apply theoretical research in practice gave rise to two main interpre

AbstractIn 2008, Indonesia introduced its first “freedom of information” statute – Law 14 of 2008 on Disclosure of Public Information (the “FOI Law” or the “Law”) – which became fully operational in 2010. The FOI Law is an important component of the government transparency and accountability mechanisms established after Soeharto and his authoritarian “New Order” government fell in 1998. This article assesses the extent to which the FOI Law has been effective in requiring public bodies to disclose “public” information that they would rather keep within their ranks.

This paper analyzes the impact that the ‘policy transfer’ of managerial reforms associated with the New Public Management (NPM) has had upon enhancing the capacity of the broadly defined ‘developmental state’. The paper begins by outlining the key principles of the NPM-type managerial reforms proposed to governments as a response to the challenges of wider public sector reform. Section 2 analyzes the extent to which these managerial reforms have actually been implemented around the world, with special reference to the experience of countries where they have either been modified or abandoned.
