Will the 'best practices' of schools in Scotland work in South
Africa? Are PTA's, a mainstay of American school governance, as
valuable in European countries? Who decides and why? The
globalization of educational policy has become a popular, if not
ubiquitous, phenomenon among educational policymakers across the
world. It has led many observers to conclude that educational
systems in different parts of the world are converging towards one
international (neo-liberal) model of school reform. This practice
of 'borrowing' and 'lending' school reforms requires a serious
examination of the politics and the economics of transnational
educational transfer. In this volume, Steiner-Khamsi and her
colleagues provide an in-depth empirical and critical examination
of the practice of global educational policy. Contributors question
the value of importing and exporting educational policies, analyze
who benefits from these arrangements, and test the effectiveness of
adapting one country's policies in other (often quite culturally
distinct) countries. The book investigates how 'global' policies
have been implemented locally, and examines the extent to which
they work in diverse locales.
