Paradoxes of Democracy, Leadership and Education engages both
critically and creatively with important social, political and
educational issues, and argues that the organisational forms of
contemporary schooling are caught up in politically significant
contradictions. Highlighting the inescapable paradoxes that
educators must grapple with in their thought and practice as they
seek to reconcile democracy and leadership in education, this book
addresses the question of whether socially just democratic futures
can be realised through education. Divided into two parts, the
first part explores theoretical frameworks and concepts, presenting
theory and raising issues and questions, while the second shares
diverse examples of practice, renewing and reanimating the links
between education, leadership and democracy, and providing models
of alternatives. Studying a number of global developments that can
be seen as potentially threatening, such as a growing inequality in
wealth and income and the declining participation and trust in
democratic processes, this text is at the forefront of
international innovations in educational theory and philosophy. A
fascinating and vital read for all researchers and students,
Paradoxes of Democracy, Leadership and Education considers the
opportunities and challenges that are confronting and threatening
education in the modern world.
