Rizvi and Lingard's account of the global politics of education is
thoughtful, complex and compelling. It is the first really
comprehensive discussion and analysis of global trends in education
policy, their effects - structural and individual - and resistance
to them. In the enormous body of writing on globalisation this book
stands out and will become a basic text in education policy courses
around the world. - Stephen J Ball, Karl Mannheim Professor of
Sociology of Education, Institute of Education, University of
London, UK In what ways have the processes of globalization
reshaped the educational policy terrain? How might we analyse
education policies located within this new terrain, which is at
once local, national, regional and global? In Globalizing Education
Policy, the authors explore the key global drivers of policy change
in education, and suggest that these do not operate in the same way
in all nation-states. They examine the transformative effects of
globalization on the discursive terrain within which educational
policies are developed and enacted, arguing that this terrain is
increasingly informed by a range of neo-liberal precepts which have
fundamentally changed the ways in which we think about educational
governance. They also suggest that whilst in some countries these
precepts are resisted, to some extent, they have nonetheless become
hegemonic, and provide an overview of some critical issues in
educational policy to which this hegemonic view of globalization
has given rise, including: devolution and decentralization new
forms of governance the balance between public and private funding
of education access and equity and the education of girls
curriculum particularly with respect to the teaching of English
language and technology pedagogies and high stakes testing and the
global trade in education. These issues are explored within the
context of major shifts in global processes and ideological
discourses currently being experienced, and negotiated by all
countries. The book also provides an approach to education policy
analysis in an age of globalization and will be of interest to
those studying globalization and education policy across the social
sciences.
