Globalization and Education: Critical Perspectives

Globalization and Education: Critical Perspectives has long been the definitive collection to explore the ever-increasingly important dimensions of globalization as it affects educational policy and practice in nation-states around the world. Internationally renowned scholars reflect on the changing conditions in a globalized world, including travel, international media, transnational capitalism, and the role of global organizations and institutions that have all had profound implications for the formation and implementation of education policy. Fully revised and updated throughout this volume addresses such issues as feminism, multiculturalism, and new technology. A new introduction and three entirely new chapters on Asian perspectives of globalization and the influence of global publishing further broaden the context in which educational policy decisions are viewed.
