CALL FOR CHAPTER AUTHORS

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIPS

The purpose of this collection is to explore relationships
between educational organizations and diverse initiatives and
institutions. The focus is on educational programs that link
across great distances through technology and/or new
organizations designed to promote learning. Recent trends add
new dimensions as to how partnerships are arranged and who is
involved. The trends: technology, cutbacks, mergers,
advocacy, and the growth of private schools and colleges, are
global. These contextual changes challenge the status quo and
involve a re-examination of partnerships in education.
Globalization, private-public alliances, and financing,
promotion, and advocacy are themes to consider. The choice
between partnerships with non governmental organizations or
business firms affects the meaning of partnerships. The
emphasis is to be on the process of developing partnerships
rather than their evaluation.

Writers are encouraged to focus on private companies,
foundations, community groups , or governmental agencies as
they work together with universities or schools. Each chapter
should involve one or more cases with a theoretical
discussion. Cases from countries in either the North or South
are sought. Moral and ethical implications of partnerships
should be considered. In order to obtain diversity among
contributors, chapters should be between 25 and 35 pages. APA
style is required and because of the diversity among
computers, no set program for paragraphing, indenting,
bulleting or tables should be used.

This book is a follow-up to Effective Partnerships: Experts,
Advocates, and Scouts (Praeger, forthcoming) edited by Samuel
Mitchell. The current book is edited by Dr. Patricia Klinck,
President of Keylinks International Consulting and Samuel
Mitchell, Professor and Coordinator, Graduate Division of
Education, University of Calgary. A two page description of
the chapter and its relation to the purposes of the
collection is required by October 30, 2001. Papers are to be
completed by June, 2002 and publication is anticipated one
year later.
