  • The book sets the discussion cross-nationally by looking at the interplay between education and society, and within local and global demands, instead of specific and limiting country-by-country comparisons of policy response and implementation to global educational agendas
  • This book brings new questions about globalization and the imperatives of education policy and implementation by suggesting that while schooling systems are certainly influenced by their environments, they are more than passive and receptive institutions in the global arena
  • This book is a blend of research and theory that is systematically analysed within the dynamic interplay between global and national contexts

About this book

The book examines how the understanding of the global and the local has changed in response to ongoing reconfigurations between the state and society. It also emphasizes the importance of schooling as an institution both within and across national contexts, a holistic approach that helps us move beyond a conglomeration of isolated local events to pay attention to global trends. In this regard, the book underscores the richness of contextual factors that may create opportunities for innovation, or may serve as constraints in the implementation process. As a whole, the book brings new questions about globalization and the imperatives of education policy and implementation.
