This paper presents interview data from research conducted in two public high schools in the state of Queensland, Australia. The research was concerned with exploring issues of equity and diversity. Both schools had recently converted to ‘independent’ status within a new state policy reform – the Independent Public Schools initiative. This reform was seen as having a significant effect on matters of equity and diversity and so became an important focus of the research. Within current accountability parameters, there were concerns expressed by key personnel at the schools about how converting to an Independent Public Schools was both enabling and constraining student equity in terms of resource distribution and school access, and undermining schools’ focus on their public purpose in relation to imposing an excessive focus on narrow external accountability measures. These concerns bring to light the significance of moral leadership within autonomous schooling environments – shaped as they are by regimes of accountability and competition that can clearly compromise student equity and delimit schooling purposes.

Expropriation of private land rights involves two contradictory interests: there is a public need for land; and landholders expect security of tenure and protection of their private property rights. A satisfactory expropriation policy must strike a balance between these interests. Legislation must therefore only authorize the government to expropriate land rights for a clear and limited public purpose under the supervision of an independent body. The author argues that Ethiopia's rural land laws have defined the public purpose for the expropriation of rural land rights in different ways depending on the nature of the landholders. For peasants and pastoralists the public purpose requirement is defined vaguely and broadly, whereas for investors the concept is limited to projects implemented by government. The author argues that the protection of private property rights and security of tenure are further undermined by a legislative failure to authorize affected people to appeal to an independent body on the basis that the public purpose requirement has not been satisfied.

John Kenneth Galbraith, an influential liberal economist, best-selling author and former presidential advisor died on Saturday 29th April 2006, at Mount Aubrun Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was 97 (Reuters, Sun Apr. 30, 2006 4:07 PM ET). Economist and social analyst, researcher and economics professor at Harvard University, Galbraith has been considered by many analysts as “the last American Institutionalist”. His work stands as testimony for an internal kneading of a man with distinguished moral and professional carriage which wholly understood the fate of an intellectual, being in society service and trying to correct its excesses, to find solutions to the problems that society encounters.

Public Purpose ,Modern Monetary Theory ,Fiscal Policy ,ddc:330 ,Economy for the Common Good ,Monetary Policy - Abstract
This paper investigates how the concept of public purpose is used in Modern Monetary Theory (MMT). As a common denominator among political scientists, the idea of public purpose is that economic actions should aim at benefiting the majority of the society. However, the concept is to be considered as an ideal of a vague nature, which is highly dependent on societal context and, hence, subject to change over time. MMT stresses that government spending plans should be designed to pursue a certain socio-economic mandate and not to meet any particular financial outcome. The concept of public purpose is heavily used in this theoretical body of thought and often referred to in the context of policy proposals as the ideas of universal job guarantee and banking reform proposals show. MMT scholars use the concept as a pragmatic benchmark against which policies can be assessed. With regards to the definition of public propose, MMT scholars agree that it is dependent on the social-cultural context. Nevertheless, MMT scholars view universal access to material means of survival as universally applicable and in that sense as the lowest possible common denominator.

Im Zentrum der Angebote transformativen Lernens oder transformativer Bildung steht die Frage, wie Bildung Menschen und auch Institutionen dabei unterstützen kann, globale Krisen und ihre oft lokalen Auswirkungen zu verstehen und ihnen zu begegnen. Wie kann eine positive Vision für die Zukunft aussehen, wie der Weg dorthin – und was kann jede/r Einzelne dazu beitragen? Am Beispiel der Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl und der für Angebote im Bildungsbereich zuständigen Akademie für Gemeinwohl diskutiert der vorliegende Beitrag das Potential transformativer Bildungsangebote für ein demokratisches, nachhaltiges und am Gemeinwohl orientiertes Geld- und Finanzsystem. Beschrieben wird, wie ein vielfältiges Programm zu den Themen Geld und Finanzwesen sowie allgemein zu Wirtschaft und Politik im Sinne transformativer Bildung aussehen kann und welche Art von Wissen und Qualifikationen es hierzu zu vermitteln gilt. Übergeordnetes Ziel ist es, Bewusstsein für den Einfluss zu schaffen, den die Finanzwirtschaft auf unsere Wirtschaft, unsere Umwelt, unser Leben hat. (DIPF/Orig.), Transformative learning and transformative education offerings are organized around the question how education can support people as well as institutions in understanding and responding to global crises and their often local impacts. What is a positive vision for the future, what is the way there – and what can each individual do to achieve it? Using the examples of Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl and Akademie für Gemeinwohl (Public Interest Academy), which is responsible for providing educational opportunities, this article discusses the potential of transformative education for a democratic, sustainable, public interest-oriented monetary and financial system. It describes what a diverse programme on the topics of money and finance and general economics and politics in the sense of transformative education might be like and what type of knowledge and qualifications are worth imparting. The overriding goal is to raise awareness of the influence that the financial industry has on our economy, our environment and our life. (DIPF/Orig.)

Wie kann eine nachhaltige Geld- und Finanzpolitik aussehen und funktionieren? Welche Zusammenhänge gibt es zwischen Geld und Ethik? Welche Strukturen und Mechanismen liegen der aktuellen Geld- und Finanzpolitik zugrunde? Diesen und weiteren Fragen widmet sich die Akademie für Gemeinwohl als Teil der Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl (GfG). Übergeordnetes Ziel aller Bemühungen und Angebote ist es, demokratische Mitbestimmung zu fördern und Handlungsspielräume aufzuzeigen. Dabei steht kritische Wissensvermittlung im Vordergrund. Der vorliegende Beitrag porträtiert die Akademie für Gemeinwohl und ihr Verständnis einer kritischen Finanzbildung als eine Form der Politischen Bildung. Ein solches Verständnis von Finanzbildung hinterfragt die Wachstumsideologie und Gewinnmaximierung als oberstes Ziel wirtschaftlichen Agierens. Empowerment und das (Wieder-)Erlangen von Handlungsmacht sind dabei zentrale Imperative, ein geändertes (Selbst-)Verständnis der Menschen weg von jenem des/der Konsumenten/Konsumentin hin zu dem einer/s aktiven Bürgerin/Bürgers soll mit dieser Form von Bildung befördert werden. (DIPF/Orig.), What does a sustainable monetary and fiscal policy look like and how does it work? What relationships exist between money and ethics? What structures and mechanisms underlie current monetary and fiscal policy? The Academy for the Common Good addresses these questions and many more as part of the Cooperative for the Common Good (Genossenschaft für Gemeinwohl, GfG). The primary goal of all efforts and course offerings is to promote democratic participation and to point out areas for action. In the process, critical knowledge transfer is at the forefront. This article profiles the Academy for the Common Good and its understanding of critical financial education as a form of political education. Such an understanding of financial education questions the ideology of growth and profit maximization as the ultimate goal of business operations. Empowerment and the (re)gaining of agency are central imperatives; this form of education should promote an altered (self-)understanding of the human being that moves away from that of a consumer to one of an active citizen.

Magazin erwachsenenbildung.at (2015) 25, 9 S., Der Autor versammelt in seinem essayistischen Beitrag aktuelle ökonomische, ökologische und politische Strömungen, die sich um das Nachdenken und Gestalten der Zukunft bemühen, gerahmt von Überlegungen zur Moderne und Postmoderne. Skizziert werden u.a. die Idee handlungs- und nutzungsoffener Räume, die gemeinsam gestaltet werden („Commons“), eine Kunst des Zusammenlebens, die die Beziehung und die Zusammenarbeit würdigt und es zugleich ermöglicht, einander zu widersprechen („Konvivialismus“), die zwei Gesichter der Globalisierung nach Michael Hardt und Antonio Negri („Empire“ und „Multitude“) sowie eine Verfassung des Gemeinsamen in einer direkten Demokratie. Diese Strömungen knüpfen dem Autor zufolge an Fragen an, die in der Bildungstheorie schon lange bearbeitet werden. Es sind das jene, die Wolfgang Klafki 1994 als „epochaltypische Schlüsselprobleme“ der Gegenwart und Zukunft ausmachte. Daraus können sich auch neue Orientierungen für die Erwachsenenbildung ergeben. (DIPF/Orig.), In this essay-like article, the author brings together contemporary currents in economics, ecology and politics that make an effort to reflect on and shape the future framed by considerations of the modern and the postmodern. Outlined in the article are the idea of spaces open to action and use that are jointly organized (“commons“), an art of living together that honours relationship and cooperation and at the same time allows for contradiction (“conviviality“), the two faces of globalization according to Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri (“empire“ and “multitude“) as well as a constitution of the common in direct democracy. According to the author, these currents are linked to questions that educational theory has been working on for a long time. These are what Wolfgang Klafki recognized as “key problems typical to the epoch“ of the present and future in 1994. They may also yield new orientations for adult education. (DIPF/Orig.)

74. Expropriation, Valuation and Compensation in Ethiopia

- Abstract
This study examines how the expropriation, valuation and compensation process are carried out in Ethiopia when privately held land and attached real properties are taken for public and private investment purposes. The study examines three case studies, inquiring whether the process of expropriation and valuation are transparent and justified or not and the compensation paid is fair and reasonable from an international perspective. A valid with theoretical background, the study examines practical problems that faced expropriatees and searches for possible theoretical explanations. The study also assesses whether there is a gap between the laws and the practice undertake on the ground. The study reveals that expropriation as a concept and a land policy tool has economic and political justification and acceptance in Ethiopia. Similar to other developing countries, Ethiopia has faced enormous economic and social problems. The question of housing and other real estate construction for high population pressure, the development and investment questions, poor public utility facilities and other public interests are some of the problems that need the intervention of both the Federal and Regional governments. In order to facilitate these needs of the society, the Federal government, the City Administrations and/or Regional governments have been using “expropriation” as a meaningful and useful management tool. However, the field survey result reveals that different compensation standards among government institutions, inadequate compensation standards for loss of land use rights, lack of professional and certified property valuers, lack of reliable and up to date data and nontransparent expropriation and valuation procedures are some of the main problems that impend the proper and equitable implementation of expropriation, valuation and compensation in the country in general and the study areas in particular. Another emerging issue is how the land laws especially the expr, QC 20140428

75. 'Public purpose or public interest' and third party transfers
- Author

Slade, Bradley Virgill and Slade, Bradley Virgill
- Abstract
In this article the difference between public purpose and public interest in section 25(2) of the 1996 Constitution is considered. It is generally accepted that public purpose is a narrower category than public interest and that the distinction between public purpose and public interest does not make any practical difference. However, in this contribution it is suggested that the difference between public purpose and public interest makes no practical difference only in cases where expropriated property is used by the state for the realisation of a particular purpose. The difference between public purpose and public interest becomes more important when a particular expropriation also involves a third party transfer, since it indicates the level of scrutiny that the courts should apply in determining the lawfulness of the expropriation. When property is expropriated and transferred to a third party for the realisation of a public purpose, such as building and managing electricity plants, the lawfulness of the expropriation is not easily questioned. As such, the application of a rationality test to determine the legitimacy of the expropriation is generally easy to accept. However, this lenient approach cannot be as easily accepted where an expropriation and third party transfer takes place in the public interest. Examples of third party transfers in the public interest include land reform, slum clearance and economic development. In the examples of land reform and slum clearance the expropriation and third party transfer is usually authorised in legislation or, as is the case with land reform in South Africa, the 1996 Constitution. Because (as in the land reform example) the expropriation and third party transfer is authorised by the Constitution and regulated by legislation, the application of a rationality test to determine the legitimacy is acceptable. However, the application of a rationality test where property is expropriated and transferred to third parties for

Government authority can, for public benefit purpose, take private ownership of land by compulsory purchase. Primary aim of this study is how to protect private land owners rights in spite of governments power of acquiring land. Bangladesh, as for details study, is a most densely populated country in the World. International best standards of practicing guidelines by FAO-UN, FIG and WB as well as other countries practice have reviewed from different perspectives. From theory, early stage negotiations, market value of property plus other damages, opportunity of involvement of all parties, protection of agricultural land , removal services all of those are the thorny of legal challenges to adopt into a new legislation in Bangladesh. Empirically, field study has conducted by way of interviewing from selected different projects in Bangladesh including largest project Padma Multiple Bridge. Huge destitute of land, unplanned city expansion, unsustainable development of infrastructure and environmental damage are remained as significant issues of sustainable development of land management. Analysis shows that Bangladesh has been losing 1% of agriculture land which related to the national employment and food production. 100% of the affected people wants to resettlement by the authority. There is clearly misusing of legal rights by the government authority: firstly, by using inequitable Acquisition and Requisition of Immovable Property Ordinance, 1982; no protection has been giving for religious place and graveyard under Antiquities Act, and Article 42(2) of Constitution also imposing unfair curtailment of rights for getting fair compensation. Finally, some recommendations have given for enacting a new legislation including planning permission, extended notice period, public meeting and review, agricultural land exempted, resettlement, valuation by valuers, in time compensation payment and right to Appeal.

The word expropriation is used in South Africa to describe the process whereby a public authority or institution takes property from a private person for public purposes against payment of compensation. The current Act regulating expropriations in South Africa is known as the Expropriation Act 63 of 1975. However, it has three primary inconsistencies with the Constitution. Firstly it predates the Constitution - therefore, it does not infuse the values of equality, human dignity and the achievement of freedom. Secondly it is not consistent with comparable modem statutes elsewhere in the world. The last issue is that this Act is inconsistent with the Constitution in the sense that the Act only provides for expropriation for public purposes and the Constitution provides for expropriation in the public interest as well as for a public purpose. For these reasons it is crucial to establish a new legislative framework. In an attempt to rectify the above difficulties, an expropriation policy and a draft Bill were introduced. The primary purpose of the Bill is to harmonise the considerable amount of legislation in South Africa on the subject of expropriation, and to fill the gaps of the current Act. However, the new proposed Bill was referred back to cabinet as it had various difficulties. According to newspaper commentators, one of these reasons was that market value would not be used when determining the amount of compensation. This is not true, as market value is one of the listed factors in section 25(3) of the Constitution, and it is provided for in the Bill. Another reason was that the role of the courts will also be restricted in the new Bill. Parties will no longer be able to refer disputes concerning the amount of compensation to court. Once again this is not true, the courts role is only restricted in the sense that it would no be able to determine the amount of compensation as provided for in the Constitution, but will only be allowed to approve or decline the amount the Minister determined. This is one of the aspects that may be debatable constitutionally. After an in-depth study of the proposed Bill, the author came to the conclusion that there are actually only three aspects that might be unconstitutional namely; the definition of public interest which is to be included that widens the capacity to expropriate; departure from the notice procedure; and the fact that the courts may no longer determine the amount of compensation, but only approve or decline. Expropriation is one of the most important tools to speed up land reform in South Africa, and it is, therefore, of the utmost importance that the procedure must take place in a fair, equitable and constitutional manner. The purpose of this study will be to identify the aspects which result in expropriations that is not done on this basis, to scrutinize them and to make recommendations to these aspects. Thesis (LL.M.

Service Learning-Projekte verbinden einen „Dienst“ am Gemeinwohl (engl. service) mit kognitivem, emotionalem und sozialem Lernen (engl. learning). Indem die Projekte auf Bedürfnisse und Problemlagen im direkten sozialen Umfeld reagieren, setzen sie voraus, diese Bedürfnisse und Problemlagen zunächst wahrzunehmen und zu erforschen. Ein offener und wacher Blick für Umgebung und Mitmenschen ist gefragt. Das Projekt selbst reagiert auf diese Bedürfnisse und schafft so Kommunikation zwischen Beteiligten und Nutznießern des Projekts, meist zwischen Gruppen, die im Normalfall nicht oder nicht viel miteinander kommunizieren. In der Rückbindung an „normale“ Unterrichtsfächer können Unterrichtsinhalte in praktischen Kontexten angewandt und auf ihren Nutzen und ihre Anwendbarkeit reflektiert werden. Zum anderen erlernen Schüler/innen in den Projekten, Prozesse zu organisieren, mit anderen Menschen zu kommunizieren, Probleme in der Zusammenarbeit zu erkennen und zu lösen.

- Abstract
With a growing concern that society’s needs are not being met, there are heightened expectations for accountability for public purposes. At the same time higher education institutions are experiencing increasing competition, as well as decreasing state support for public higher education. The concern is that competition for resources is overtaking accountability for public purposes. Using an observational correlational research design, this study explored the relationships between institutional competition for resources and accountability for public purposes at the undergraduate level among 428 U. S. public four-year institutions. The study examined institutional competition organized around the four key markets that generate institutional revenues (student enrollment, research funding, public fiscal support, and private giving) and institutional accountability for public purposes defined by accountability measures most frequently included in state-level performance accountability systems (access, affordability, and completion). The relationship between institutional competition for resources and accountability for public purposes was also examined considering institutional fiscal health and market segment. The accountability triangle, resource dependency theory, and postsecondary market taxonomy provided a conceptual framework for the study. The results of the study indicate a statistically significant relationship between institutional competition for resources and institutional accountability for public purposes. In particular, a negative relationship was observed between institutional competition and accountability for access (R2 = .16) and affordability (R2 = .05), and a positive relationship was observed between institutional competition and accountability for completion (R2 = .09). Institutional fiscal health was a statistically significant factor in only the relationship between institutional competition and accountability for access producing an increase in the predictive power of the model (R2 = .16 to R2 = .18). In addition, no differences were found in the nature of the relationship between institutional competition and institutional accountability for public purposes across the market segments of higher education. Most importantly, this study provides empirical evidence of a relationship between the complicated constructs of institutional competition for resources and institutional accountability for public purposes at the undergraduate level within U.S. public four-year institutions. With the force of institutional competition likely to increase and the necessity for higher education to serve public purposes critical, additional research further exploring the relationships between institutional competition and institutional accountability at the undergraduate level is crucial.

- Abstract
Noting that the Romer opinion condemns the motives behind Amendment 2 without pausing even briefly to examine the social context in which it was enacted, Professor Nagel describes the decision as a model of the intolerant impulse in action. He traces this impulse to the Justices' unwillingness to examine their own role--and that of the rest of the constitutional law establishment--in creating the underlying conditions that produced Amendment 2. In order to identify those conditions, Professor Nagel analyzes the primary document used by Colorado for Family Values during its campaign on behalf of the initiative. He argues that this document could have persuaded moderate, unprejudiced voters because its underlying themes resonate with realistic fears about the possibility that gay-rights activists might be able to induce a social revolution through law-reform strategies that bypass normal democratic processes. Amendment 2, then, may be traceable to anxiety and alienation rather than animosity. Professor Nagel concludes that judges and legal commentators should evaluate their own role (including decisions like Romer) in shaping a political culture where large segments of the public feel unable to exercise meaningful control over sudden and massive changes that threaten deeply valued ways of life.
