We offer in this book a collection of chapters that reflect a broad
range of issues linking globalization to education in an accessible
yet theoretically grounded and detailed form. The authors analyze
phenomena on the global plane, in local spaces, and in the connections
between the global and the local. New developments such as the growing
impact of technology on education, the emergence of new policy actors,
the growing expansion and segmentation of higher education, the
salience of human rights, among others, are emerging as powerful
agendas shaping all levels of education. In fundamental ways, the
forces of globalization challenge the previous approaches and theories
of national development. Recognizing the areas of convergence,
dissonance, and conflict should help us grasp with greater clarity the
implications of globalization for education and knowledge in the XXI
century. The contributors to this book include both well-known
scholars in the field of comparative education as well as young
scholars. The chapters present a balanced geographical coverage in
terms of authors and the countries/regions examined. The second
edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and contains seven new
chapters. The expanding interest in the intersection of education and
globalization has brought up several new topics, including: the
salience of global education policies, notably EFA; the expansion and
differentiation of higher education; the emphasis on work-related
training; the increasing role of non-state actors such as the
transnational corporations; and greater attention to human rights.
Also in this new edition is a chapter on qualitative methodologies
especially suitable to the understanding of the intersection of
globalization and education.
