Across the globe educators are being required to respond to a
changing political environment. New nations emerge out of the
collapse of old empires; new democracies struggle out of old
structures of oppression. Driven on by the fierce competitiveness
of the "tiger economies" of the east, old social welfare-based
democracies are transformed into new market driven enterprise
societies. The essays in this collection are a response from 22
educators to these changes and to the reassessment that they
provoke of some of the fundamental principles which shape
educational thought and practice. They focus in particular on key
clusters of issues to do with the role of education in cultivating:
national identity - what role might nationalistic education play in
the context of a democratic liberal education?; market principles -
contributors offer different perspectives on the internationally
pervasive application of the principles of the market economy to
education and the consequent "commodification" of learning;
personal autonomy - educators examine different dimentions of the
contested notion of autonomy itself and the related discourses of
edification.
