There are two contending opinions with regard to the seemingly
amorphous phenomenon of globalization. Some believe that
globalization has brought rapid prosperity to developing countries
while others argue that globalization best serves the needs of
countries of the developed world. Bringing globalization under the
microscope of education, this book illustrates how globalization is
producing unprecedented impacts on education and culture through a
series of country case studies elaborating on effects of economic
and educational policies in the modern globalized world. New
emphasis on the interplay between state and education policy
initiatives in developed and developing countries also illuminates
the direct and indirect impact of globalization in equity and
quality-driven education reforms, with particular focus on the
contribution of marketization or privatization to the ongoing
commodification of education and curricula, presenting dilemmas to
both developed and developing countries to provide quality
education for all, protect human rights, and ensure equity in all
realms of human endeavor. This book offers a multiplicity of
approaches to education and development, and posits that
distributional equity and quality education in a globalized world
require a strong state and commitment to social justice to
counteract growing disparities evident in educational and economic
indices. The authors illustrate how respatialization of the
contemporary state is rapidly taking shape in concrete institutions
to recast the boundaries of the social, political and economic in
fundamental ways. Education, Language, and Economics: Growing
National and Global Dilemmas serves as an ideal introduction to key
contemporary debates on politics, culture, and the economy.
