Inclusive Schooling

This chapter examines the role of schools in inclusion and capabilities formation and proposes an ethical model that views inclusion as social participation. The proposed model is based on two intuitions: inclusion understood as a social phenomenon and inclusion that is concerned with freedom. The chapter first considers the different perspectives on inclusion and its normative implications as a moral value in the field of education before discussing the ways that the capability approach can articulate and analyse the intuition of the freedom to be included, thus enhancing the concept of ‘full’ or ‘substantive’ inclusion. It also explains how the proposed ethical model of inclusion can be applied to design inclusive schools. It also discusses some examples of corresponding best practice in the field of education, drawn from international empirical research and practice.

The book starts with an introduction to theoretical foundations of knowledge management concepts, proceeds with a series of empirical studies on the role of technology in knowledge management, followed by studies of socially orientated knowledge management solutions. The book ends with the discussion of major issues and challenges for knowledge management research and practice. With its integrated and systematic approach, the book makes a small but important step in helping individuals and organisations to get an objective and complete picture of the role of social and technical initiatives in knowledge management based on formal and sound empirical research. More importantly, the book shows that the impact of various initiatives is highly contingent upon the context in which the knowledge is generated, transferred, and used. This may help managers to choose more suitable solutions to turn their intangible assets into tangible outcomes.

Legal Processes

The authors of “Legalization and World Politics” (International Organization, 54, 3, summer 2000) define “legalization” as the degree of obligation, precision, and delegation that international institutions possess. We argue that this definition is unnecessarily narrow. Law is a broad social phenomenon that is deeply embedded in the practices, beliefs, and traditions of societies. Understanding its role in politics requires attention to the legitimacy of law, to custom and law's congruence with social practice, to the role of legal rationality, and to adherence to legal processes, including participation in law's construction. We examine three applications of “legalization” offered in the volume and show how a fuller consideration of law's role in politics can produce concepts that are more robust intellectually and more helpful to empirical research.
