We offer in this book a collection of chapters that reflect a broad
range of issues linking globalization to education in an accessible
yet theoretically grounded and detailed form. The authors analyze
phenomena on the global plane, in local spaces, and in the
connections between the global and the local. New developments such
as the growing impact of technology on education, the emergence of
new policy actors, the growing expansion and segmentation of higher
education, the salience of human rights, among others, are emerging
as powerful agendas shaping all levels of education. In fundamental
ways, the forces of globalization challenge the previous approaches
and theories of national development. Recognizing the areas of
convergence, dissonance, and conflict should help us grasp with
greater clarity the implications of globalization for education and
knowledge in the XXI century. The contributors to this book include
both well-known scholars in the field of comparative education as
well as young scholars. The chapters present a balanced
geographical coverage in terms of authors and the countries/regions
examined. The second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout
and contains seven new chapters. The expanding interest in the
intersection of education and globalization has brought up several
new topics, including: the salience of global education policies,
notably EFA; the expansion and differentiation of higher education;
the emphasis on work-related training; the increasing role of
non-state actors such as the transnational corporations; and
greater attention to human rights. Also in this new edition is a
chapter on qualitative methodologies especially suitable to the
understanding of the intersection of globalization and education.
