Transnational Institutions of Higher Education Institutions in Central Asia Year of publication: 2021 Author: Eriks Varpachovskis Transnational institutions of higher education (TNIHE) are institutions that provide higher education services and award degrees from either foreign institutions or through foreign pedagogical systems. As of 2021, there are at least 67 TNIHEs in the five Central Asian republics. Beneath the surface, however, many problems lurk, as TNIHEs struggle to maintain their capacity and provide quality education, while local governments pursue contradictory policies, that complicate the situation.

The Role of Culture in the Construction of Democracy: A Reflection on Cultural Democracy From Haiti Year of publication: 2015 Author: Wooldy Edson Louidor Corporate author: Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) This research studies the relationship between culture and democracy, from the analysis of the case study of the Sanba cultural movement in the late seventies in Haiti, from the biographical analysis of its initiator, the musician Sanba Zao, and from the analysis of the content of its songs. From the deconstruction of the univocal, unilateral and unilinear criterion of modernity used by the main theories of social movements, it proposes a paradigmatic transition towards the perspective of ambivalence increasingly used in the social sciences. From there, he revisits the theories of democracy and, based on a theoretical matrix of ambivalent democracy, explains the recent history of Haiti since the 20th century and the multiple faces of the ambivalence of democracy in the Caribbean country in the last four years. decades. Based on the analysis of the information collected, the research traces a new definition of culture from Sanba Zao's call to return to the roots and to the revaluation of Haitian tradition and identity. El papel de la cultura en la construcción de la democracia: Una reflexión sobre la democracia cultural desde Haití Year of publication: 2015 Author: Wooldy Edson Louidor Corporate author: Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO) Esta investigación estudia la relación entre cultura y democracia, desde el análisis del estudio de caso del movimiento cultural Sanba a finales del setenta en Haití, del análisis biográfico de su iniciador, el músico Sanba Zao, y del análisis de contenidos de sus canciones. Desde la deconstrucción del criterio unívoco, unilateral y unilineal de la modernidad utilizado por las principales teorías de los movimientos sociales, plantea una transición paradigmática hacia la perspectiva de la ambivalencia cada vez más usada en las ciencias sociales. Desde allí, revisita las teorías de la democracia y, a partir de una matriz teórica de la democracia ambivalente, explica la historia reciente de Haití desde el siglo XX y las múltiples caras de la ambivalencia de la democracia en el país caribeño en las últimas cuatro décadas. Con base en el análisis de las informaciones recogidas, la investigación rastrea una nueva definición de la cultura desde el llamado de Sanba Zao a volver a las raíces y a la revalorización de la tradición e identidad haitianas. 
Citizenship Education and Youth Politicization in Quebec: Teacher Perspectives (vol. 46, no. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Alexandre Fortier-Chouinard Corporate author: Université de Montréal. Faculté des sciences de l’éducation Civic education classes generally have a positive impact on political knowledge and citizen involvement. In Quebec, the mandatory History and citizenship education class, almost unstudied thus far, was recently replaced by a History of Quebec and Canada class in secondary 3 and 4. 14 interviewed History and citizenship education teachers in secondary 4 believe that these courses improve some indicators of students’ politicization but not necessarily future turnout, and that civic education takes too little space in the curriculum. An open classroom climate, which literature has found to have a positive impact on voting, seems to be absent from their teaching. Éducation à la citoyenneté et politisation des jeunes au Québec: Perspectives d’enseignant⋅e⋅s (vol. 46, no. 3) Year of publication: 2020 Author: Alexandre Fortier-Chouinard Corporate author: Université de Montréal. Faculté des sciences de l’éducation Les cours d’éducation citoyenne permettent généralement d’augmenter les connaissances politiques et l’engagement citoyen. Au Québec, le cours obligatoire Histoire et éducation à la citoyenneté, peu étudié jusqu’ici, a récemment été remplacé par le cours Histoire du Québec et du Canada s’adressant aux élèves de troisième et de quatrième secondaire. Quatorze enseignant⋅e⋅s d’histoire de quatrième secondaire interrogé⋅e⋅s croient que les deux cours augmentent certains indicateurs de politisation, sans grand impact sur le taux de vote, mais qu’ils n’accordent pas suffisamment de place à l’éducation citoyenne. En effet, leur enseignement semble dénué du climat de classe ouvert et des approches pédagogiques dont les écrits scientifiques ont montré l’effet positif sur la participation électorale des jeunes adultes.
