This volume deals with two major and apparently opposing forces
within education and society: globalization and nationalism.
Globalization is often considered in economic terms - of continued
growth of international trade and a concentration of wealth in
corporate hands - yet it also encompasses technological, political
and cultural change. The World Yearbook of Education 2005 explores
the role of the education sector in our globalized knowledge
economy, and considers the political implications of this in terms
of monopolarity and the cultural consequences of homogenization and
Americanization. The other strand of this study - nationalism -
remains a persistent force within education and society in all
parts of the world, and this volume examines the extent to which it
can fuel conflict at all levels through prejudice and intolerance.
Concentrating on the epistemological consequences of nationalism,
leading international thinkers examine the extent to which it is
reflected in the curricula of schools and universities around the
world. Finally, the complex relationship between globalization and
nationalism is explored, and contributors explore the part that
educational institutions and practices play in forming both
agendas. A wide range of perspectives are employed, including
post-colonial discourse, classical economics and sociological
theory. Nationalism and globalization are both ongoing processes,
and this volume makes a case for the central role of education in
both - through its potential to influence change and to act as
benevolent force in shaping a global community.
