Education has always been a key instrument of nation-building in
new states. National education systems have typically been used to
assimilate immigrants; to promote established religious doctrines;
to spread the standard form of national languages; and to forge
national identities and national cultures. They helped construct
the very subjectivities of citizenship, justifying the ways of the
state to the people and the duties of the people to the state. In
this second edition of his seminal and widely-acclaimed book on the
origins of public education in England, France, Prussia, and the
USA, Andy Green shows how education has also been used as a tool of
successful state formation in the developmental states of East
Asia. While human capital theories have focused on how schools and
colleges supply the skills for economic growth, Green shows how the
forming of citizens and national identities through education has
often provided the necessary condition for both economic and social
development.
