Global Networks, Local Actions: Rethinking adult education policy
in the 21st century examines public policy developments in adult
education, exploring the policy framing of adult education practice
in a range of socio-cultural contexts, and contributing to the
development of policy research from global and comparative
perspectives. Drawing from multidisciplinary fields such as adult
education, comparative and international education, and sociology,
chapters analyse empirically grounded studies from the US, Italy,
Argentina and Brazil. Each study helps to identify how political
agents interact at international, regional, national and local
scales, and what the implications are for publically-funded
interventions in adult education. While this book recognises the
complexity of adult education policy, it argues for the need to
deconstruct the false belief that what is global in adult education
may be intrinsically distinct from the characteristics of
geographical or social territories in which adult education occurs.
Instead, it points to localised norms and ideas on Adult Basic and
Secondary Education as ultimately contained in, and constituting,
what is at times perceived as global, or abstracted from definite
geographical or social territories. This book calls for a global
sociology of adult education in response to global challenges, and
makes an important contribution to our understanding of
developments in public adult education policy. As such, it will be
of key interest to researchers, academics and postgraduate students
in the fields of adult education, comparative and international
education, education policy and politics, sociology of education,
and global studies.
