East West

The article introduces a special issue of Policy Futures in Education on changes and challenges in educational policies and systems of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The countries in the region share some characteristics, such as their historical experience with the authoritarian–socialist or communist rule and its impact on education policies, as well as their long-lasting economic semi-peripherality. Differences within the region are also discussed in the article: from macro-level economic gaps to relative dissimilarities of education systems’ structures, as well as international assessment benchmarks. The articles in this issue present analyses of educational policies in Belarus, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. A theme that emerges most clearly across these texts is the complexity of East–West relationships. Read together, the contributions serve as a call for a more nuanced and contextualized look at CEE. Transformation of educational systems that entails the interplay of past legacies and borrowed policies can bring about troubling outcomes, exacerbated by the entanglement of education in a wider agenda.

Do So

AbstractThe three essays that comprise this section of this issue began as conference papers delivered at the annual meeting of the American Historical Association in January 2008, Washington, D.C. The panel was organized by Professor Samuel Yamashita of Pomona College, a longtime advocate of forging links between the fields of Asian Studies and Asian American Studies. In his usual gentle way, Sam Yamashita brought the panelists together, took care of the panel proposal, and then stepped aside and let these younger scholars take the floor. Over drinks after the panel, we all came to realize that Madeline Hsu and Catherine Ceniza Choy had both been students of Sam's as undergraduates. Charles Hayford approached Sam about creating a special issue of this journal based on the panel, and I, as the panel's discussant would serve as guest editor. Charles later suggested that we dedicate this issue to Sam as a token of our appreciation for his scholarship and mentorship. And we do so with great pleasure.

Selection Committee

It gives us great pleasure to introduce the three best papers selected from the papers presented at CLEI 2006 in Santiago, Chile. Following well established tradition, CLEI invited the top papers of the conference for consideration as best papers in a special issue of the CLEI Electronic Journal. For the purpose of selecting these papers, the Comité Directivo of CLEI named a committee consisting of Diego Andrade (Ecuador), Ernst Leiss (USA), José Carlos Maldonado (Brazil), Marcello Visconti (Chile); and Adenilso Simão (Brazil). After a careful review of the ranking obtained from the Program Committee of CLEI 2006, the group agreed to invite six papers. The authors of four papers decided to accept our invitation. These papers were subjected to a further review resulting in the three papers that form this special issue. On behalf of the selection committee, we would like to thank all people involved in this undertaking, from the authors to the reviewers, and also the SBC – Sociedade Brasileira de Computação for providing the submission system
