Now in its fourth edition, Comparative Education: The Dialectic of
the Global and the Local remains the same groundbreaking book when
it first debuted its collection of outstanding scholars in
examining the changing transnational landscape of education. With
the addition of new coeditor Stephen Franz, the book provides new
perspectives on the dynamic interplay of global, national, and
local forces as they shape the functions and outcomes of education
systems. The book calls for a rethinking of the nation-state as the
basic unit for analyzing school-society relations and emphasizes
the need to study social movements in relation to educational
reforms. It also emphasizes the value of feminist, postcolonial,
and culturally sensitive perspectives for inquiry into the
potential of education systems to contribute to individual
development and social change. This new edition incorporates recent
developments in scholarship, especially in education policy and
practice, the impact of the global economic crisis, and a new
chapter on education in the European Union.
