Reflecting on almost three decades of postsocialist
transformations, the second edition of Globalization on the Margins
explores continuities and changes in Central Asian education
development since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, with
a particular focus on the developments that took place since the
production of the first edition in 2011. Rather than viewing these
transformations in isolation, the authors place their analyses
within the global context by reflecting on the interaction between
Soviet legacies and global education reform pressures in the
Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. This new edition, in addition to a
revised introduction and a newly added conclusion, consists of four
thematic sections, each reflecting a key theme in the educational
life of the Central Asian states. These thematic sections,
introduction and conclusion collectively update our understanding
of the recent developments and challenges in education of the five
Central Asian states. They, however, go beyond mere information
update, so as to complicate, re-engage, re-form and re-define the
margins, taking up 'margins' a conceptual, geographic, cultural,
and geo-political construct. Notwithstanding the diversity of local
and international authors, variety of theoretical perspectives,
methodological approaches, and conceptual lenses, the essays reveal
the complexity and uncertainty of the post-socialist education
transformations. Instead of portraying the transition process as
the influx of Western ideas into the region, Globalization on the
Margins provides new lenses to critically example education as a
contested field of diverse perspectives, competing forces, and
multidirectional flow of ideas, concepts, and reforms in Central
Asia.
