This paper reviews current elements of administrative thought and practice with the expressed intent of providing a comprehensive outline for new programmatic ventures in the field of principalship preparation. In conjunction with this review, a general description of an existing nontraditional leadership preparation program is included. As this research is united with actual practice, it is hoped that university administrators and educational administration faculty will be offered a new paradigm for the preparation of principals for the 21st century.

In the days before the pandemic, when I attended and introduced myself as the grants and awards librarian from the University of Victoria (UVic) Libraries at professional events and conferences, my title often evoked quizzical looks. Even now as this unprecedented time continues, as far as I know, I am still the only librarian with this professional designation in Canada, perhaps in all of North America—maybe even the world. Since 2012, I’ve helped UVic Libraries to attract and retain funding, collaborators, allies, and donors, while raising our research profile and demonstrating the value of the 21st-century academic library to university administrators.

The telecommunications sector entered the new millennium with a new paradigm, defined in four terms: mobile and global in nature, private, competitive and with interests in different sectors. Within this framework, the research presented here addresses the new cycle in Telefónica's internationalisation and the intricate investment process in Spanish telecommunications. The text is structured in four main sections, comprising an overview of Telefónica in the world market, Telefónica's entry into Central Europe with Český Telecom, the entry into unexplored European markets with O2 and the penetration of subjectively distant markets - China.

Colleges of education have come under scrutiny in their preparation of principals. Even professors of education have joined in the criticism characterizing these programs as bankrupt, fragmented, and going down a road to nowhere (Norton, 2002). This article is part of a collaborative research effort of the University Council for Educational Administration, the goal of which is to engage the leadership preparation field more broadly in the individual and comparative study of each program's effectiveness and impact (Orr & Pounder, 2006). This study used within-program comparison of follow-up survey responses from two sets of program graduates from a university-based leadership preparation program to determine differences in program features and outcome measures.

This case outlines a dilemma encountered by faculty and graduate assistants in a K-12 educational administration graduate program. The case offers a detailed illustration of tensions arising when faculty were asked to increase “diversity” within their program. Faculty uncover disrupting institutional systems of domination that often play a significant role in understanding how to prepare leaders to serve in authentic and meaningful ways. Implications for the development of social justice–oriented school leaders included an intentional examination of these issues.

The article’s purposes are to review research on leadership education in ethics and examine a pedagogic intervention designed to raise consciousness about ethical leadership and learning within graduate school. A yearlong study—carried out in a principal preparation program that is a full member of the University Council for Educational Administration—is the basis of the development and impact of an ethics unit. Understandings of ethics regarding leadership preparation standards and social justice orientations for preservice cohorts are analyzed. Qualitative methods used are a targeted literature review and a document analysis of assignments. Directions for research, pedagogy, and practice end this discussion.

<p><em>Abstrak - </em><strong>Kebangkitan China pada awal abad 21 dalam percaturan global dipandang sebagai sebuah fenomena yang menegaskan bahwa dominasi Barat akan segera berakhir dan muncul kekuatan global baru dari kawasan Asia. Hal ini ditanggapi beragam oleh berbagai kalangan, sebagian menganggapnya sebagai suatu hal yang positif, namun sebagian lagi menganggapnya sebagai satu ancaman. Terpilihnya Presiden Joko Widodo pada pemilu 2014 yang mengusung poros maritim dunia dengan tol laut sebagai agenda utama, memunculkan sebuah paradigma baru bagi pemerintah Indonesia dalam memandang Jalur Sutera Maritim Abad 21 (<em>21<sup>st</sup> Maritime Silk Road</em>) yang dicanangkan oleh China sebagai sebuah tantangan atau potensi. Konektifitas dalam <em>Belt and Road Iniative</em> s</strong><strong>ejalan dengan 5 (lima) pilar utama yang dicanangkan oleh Presiden Joko Widodo dalam program poros maritim dunia. Dalam mensinergikan kebijakan dua pemerintah ini, tentu saja hubungan </strong><strong><em>people-to-people</em></strong><strong> yang terjalin melalui hubungan sosial dan budaya menjadi pilar yang sangat penting. Bagaimana kebijakan pemerintah kedua negara dalam meningkatkan hubungan <em>people-to people</em>, akan sangat berpengaruh dalam keberhasilan kerjasama ini. Makalah ini memaparkan perkembangan hubungan sosial budaya Indonesia-China melalui berbagai kegiatan di Pusat Bahasa Mandarin di Unversitas Al Azhar Indonesia. Pusat Bahasa Mandarin mungkin mampu mengurangi kesan negatif sebagian masyarakat Indonesia terhadap China, tapi terbatas hanya pada beberapa orang saja yang terlibat erat dalam lembaga tersebut.</strong><strong></strong></p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Kata Kunci</em></strong><em> - Poros maritim dunia, Jalur sutera maritim abad 21, Indonesia, China, People-to-people</em></p><p> </p><p><em>Abstract - </em><strong>The rise of China in the early 21st century in the global arena is seen as a phenomenon that resists Western domination will coming to an end and emerging new global powers from the Asian region. This was responded to by various parties, some of them regarded it as a positive thing, but some regard it as a threat. The election of President Joko Widodo in 2014, which brings the maritime axis of the world with the sea toll as the main agenda, has created a new paradigm for the Indonesian government in the view of the <em>21st Maritime Silk Road</em> by China as a challenge or potential. Connectivity in <em>Belt and Road Iniative</em> is consistent with 5 (five) main pillars proclaimed by President Joko Widodo in the world maritime axis program. In synergizing this, of course the <em>people-to-people</em> relationship that exists through social and cultural relationships becomes a very important pillar. How government policies of both countries in improving <em>people-to people</em> relationship, will be very influential in the success of this cooperation. This paper describes the development of socio-cultural relations between Indonesia and China through various activities at the Mandarin Language Center at Al Azhar University of Indonesia. The Chinese Language Center may be able to reduce the negative impression of Indonesian society on China, but only to a few people who are closely involved in the institution.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em> -<strong> </strong>World maritime axis, 21st century maritime silk trail, Indonesia, China, People-to-people<strong></strong></em></p>

This paper presents the case of psychology from a perspective not widely recognized by the West, namely, the Egyptian, Arab, and Islamic perspective. It discusses the introduction and development of psychology in this part of the world. Whenever such efforts are evaluated, six problems become apparent: (1) the one-way interaction with Western psychology; (2) the intellectual dependency; (3) the remote relationship with national heritage; (4) its irrelevance to cultural and social realities; (5) the inhibition of creativity; and (6) the loss of professional identity. Nevertheless, some major achievements are emphasized, and a four-facet look into the 21st century is proposed.

In the 21st century, the world became a sign of globalization: global conflicts, global disasters, global economy, global Internet, etc. The Polish researcher Casimir Zhigulsky defines globalization as a kind of process, that is, the target set of characteristic changes that develop over time and occur in the modern world. These changes in general are reduced to mutual rapprochement, reduction of distances, the rapid appearance of a large number of different connections, contacts, exchanges, and to increase the dependence of society in almost all spheres of his life from what is happening in other, often very remote regions of the world.
