Elite Education - International Perspectives is the first book to
systematically examine elite education in different parts of the
world. Authors provide a historical analysis of the emergence of
national elite education systems and consider how recent policy and
economic developments are changing the configuration of elite
trajectories and the social groups benefiting from these. Through
country-level case studies, this book offers readers an in-depth
account of elite education systems in the Anglophone world, in
Europe and in the emerging financial centres of Africa, Asia and
Latin America. A series of commentaries highlight commonalities and
differences between elite education systems, and offer insights
into broader theoretical issues, with which educationalists,
researchers and policy makers are engaging . With authors including
Stephen J. Ball, Donald Broady, Ruben Gaztambide-Fernandez,
Heinz-Hermann Kruger, Maria Alice Nogueira, Julia Resnik and Agnes
van Zanten, the book offers a benchmark perspective on issues
frequently glossed over in comparative education, including the
processes by which powerful groups retain privilege and 'elite'
status in rapidly changing societies. Elite Education -
International Perspectives will appeal to policy makers and
academics in the fields of education and sociology. Simultaneously
it will be of special relevance to post-graduates enrolled on
courses in the sociology of education, education policy, and
education and international development.
