	The First International Forum on Education Reform : Experience of Selection Countries (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)

		The first wave of reforms focus on the internal effectiveness; the second wave on interface effectiveness in terms of education quality and the third wave on the future effectiveness in terms of relevance to the new education functions and new paradigm of education in the new century.

	Local development initiatives and the management of change in Europe - Frank Pyke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Local development initiatives are intended to be locally driven, but higher level authorities can facilitate the conditions by which this can come about, and this role they indeed seem to be taking on.
		At the local level, in both kinds of initiative, representatives of employers' and workers' organizations, local administrations, specific enterprises, financial institutions and other interest groups come together to elaborate a strategic development plan of action, in writing, to which all "partners" formally agree to contribute, and from which all are expected to benefit.
		As localities seek to develop their economies along high value lines it becomes important that a range of promotional, modernising and standards raising initiatives are moving generally in the same direction, complementing and supporting one another.

	Local Government, Democracy and Constitution Reform (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		It has been said that ‘the democratic ideal in local government implies that active participation of the citizens in local affairs is both a goal in itself and an instrument for strengthening democracy in society at large’.
		It has defined local participation as a core component of democracy and adopted as an administrative guideline the principle of 'subsidiarityí (the rule that as far as possible, government tasks should be carried out by the level of government closest to the people).
		In pursuing entrenchment, local government must show that it is protecting the interests of the community rather than pushing its own barrow or defending the privileges of council politicians and bureaucrats.

	Rethinking Local Affordable Housing Strategies: Lessons from 70 Years of Policy and Practice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Since the 1980s, the federal government has increasingly devolved the responsibilities of designing and implementing affordable housing programs to state and local housing agencies, the development community, and community groups.
		Yet, the affordable housing crisis worsened in the 1990s, seemingly unaffected by the strong economy.
		To help inform state and local efforts to find fresh solutions to today's affordable housing challenges, The Brookings Institution Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy and the Urban Institute Center on Metropolitan Housing and Communities have joined forces to examine the effectiveness of seven decades of major affordable housing approaches in achieving important community-wide goals.

	The Need for Intelligence Reform
		Significant evidence of foreign government involvement in the 9-11 attacks was uncovered by the Joint Inquiry.
		One example of the failure to pursue leads that point to foreign government involvement is the refusal of the FBI to aggressively follow the money trail that flowed from officials of a foreign government to at least some of the terrorists.
		If a government was involved in those attacks, we should leave no stone unturned to identify the extent of that involvement and hold those responsible accountable.
