Extract

Just as there was a boom in the establishment of Master's of BusinessAdministration programs over the past 30 or more years, today thereis an equivalent boom in graduate programs in the field of publicpolicy. This is so for the transition states of Central and EasternEurope (CEE) and the former Soviet Union where the dynamics ofglobalization and “Europeanization” are apparent and the pressuresfor reform pronounced (Verheijen and Connaughton 2003, 843). Appointing personnel with the educationalprerequisites necessary for managing reform and meeting thechallenges of globalization has been problematic for both officialactors such as national education ministries, internationalorganizations, and bilateral development agencies, as well as fornon-state actors such as the business sector, philanthropicfoundations, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The need forgraduates who can function in international and cross-culturalcontexts is prompting institutions to create new courses andprofessional degree programs (Mallea 1998,16).
