Symbioses and dilemmas
Great expectations
A common strategy: all parties
pull in the same direction in a
coordinated effort
Control many of the factors of
input
Governance/control AND support
in a ‘symbiosis’ - i.e. internal and
external evaluations
Strong focus on individual rights
(equality and due process) AND at
the same time focus on the
organizations ability to deliver
Pride and prejudice?
÷ Strong state – weak
municipalities? Who sets the
agenda?
÷ State as both whip and carrot?
÷ One-size-fits-all?
÷ What works?
÷ Cannibalism? Who eats who?
÷ New development – law and
pedagogics work in unison
