 02.23.2006 - Project to research U.S. foreign policies to face global challenges
BERKELEY – The Institute of International Studies at the University of California, Berkeley, is teaming up with the Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy at Duke University in North Carolina to launch major research on long-range United States policy approaches to global strategic challenges.
Policies are needed, Weber said, to resolve questions about who owns newly developed genetic material and information, as well as who manufactures and prices new vaccines, and what roles military and civilian authorities will play.
The goal is to create new ideas and research projects relating to strategic, medium-range U.S. foreign policy and to launch a network of policy-oriented graduate students interested in bridging the worlds of politics and academics.

Emphasis on quality in the public sector is regarded as one of the driving forces for the modernization of public institutions.
A tension for public managers that arises out of this approach is between the need for responsiveness, learning and innovation on one side, and the need for political sensitivity, equal treatment and accountability on the other.

HELEN F. Duke University - Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy
We use administrative data on North Carolina public schools to document the tendency for more highly qualified teachers to be matched with more advantaged students, and we measure the bias this pattern generates in estimates of the impacts of various teacher qualifications on student achievement.
One of the strategies we use to minimize this bias is to restrict the analysis to schools that assign students to classrooms in a manner statistically indistinguishable from random assignment.
