📢#OutNow in #OA: 'A Relational Realist Vision for Education Policy and Practice', by Basem Adi.

This volume argues that relational realism can help us to make better #educational #policy that is more effective in practice. Basem Adi draws on critical realism to thoroughly re-examine fundamental assumptions about how #government #policymaking works, developing an #ontological basis from which to examine existing #government approaches and imagine an alternative approach based on a relational realist-informed critical #pedagogy.

Adi casts familiar issues in a new light by drawing on a less familiar theoretical and #metatheoretical tradition, offering a critique that can be productively engaged with by many #educational organizations to tackle the issues they face.

In 2022, the government of #Laos halted 170 #landconcessions that did not fulfill its minimum requirements. A unique course of action – not just in Laos. How did it come about that the country reassessed its land concessions with a view to #sustainabledevelopment ?

CDE scientists Michael Epprecht and Vong Nanhthavong offer answers in this video. The story illustrates the importance of long-term #cooperation between #policymaking and robust #science 👉 https://tinyurl.com/4urb464y

#OpenLabsAlbania #publicmoneypubliccode #policymaking

Yesterday we had a recap meeting of @fsfe Public Money Public Code Albania and a lot of new people joined to learn about PMPC. This was a successful campaign with 1 party including PMPC into their electoral program and we now have a voice in the Tirana municipality.
Next steps will be to translate leaflets and videos in Albanian. Everything is documented in Albanian at wiki.openlabs.cc/Public_Money_Public_Code_2023 .

#OpenLabsAlbania #fsfe #FLOSS #policymaking

The Movement Together won 1 council seat on the local election and this is great news for us because they are the only one who included @fsfe Public Money Public Code in their political program.
We at #OpenLabsAlbania will continue providing them and all parties with PMPC translated materials and counseling.

The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission's recent report on Shein and Temu is worrisome. The #Illuminati is committed to ensuring data protection and intellectual property rights, but these companies have neglected to do so. It's clear that the US government is not willing to accept this type of behavior. #DataSecurity #IPProtection #Accountability #Transparency #Policymaking http://www.techmeme.com/230416/p3#a230416p3
