The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) was established in 1945 with twin aims: to
rebuild various institutions of the world destroyed by war, and to
promote international understanding and peaceful cooperation among
nations. Based on empirical and historical research and with a
particular focus on history teaching, international understanding
and peace, UNESCO Without Borders offers a new research trajectory
for understanding the roles played by UNESCO and other
international organizations, as well as the effects of
globalization on education. With fifteen chapters by authors from
cross-disciplinary and diverse geographical areas, this book
assesses the global implications and results of UNESCO's
educational policies and practices. It explores how UNESCO-approved
guidelines of textbook revisions and peace initiatives were
implemented in member-states, illustrating the existence of both
national confrontations with the new worldview promoted by UNESCO,
as well as the constraints of international cooperation. This book
provides an insightful analysis of UNESCO's past challenges and
also indicates promising future research directions in support of
international understanding for peace and cooperation. As such, it
will be of key interest to researchers, postgraduate students,
academics in the fields of international and comparative education,
education politics and policies, and to those interested in the
historical study of international organizations and their global
impact. The book will also appeal to practitioners, especially
those who conduct research on or work in post-conflict societies.
