In recent times, the world has experienced the shifting and
realignment of political, ideological and geographic borders
everywhere. The emergence of new nation states alongside the growth
of multinational economic unions, mobility and displacement of
populations and products has changed the face of educational
systems and theories. In the context of globalisation, the concepts
of bordering and re-bordering invite us to contemplate the
sometimes contradictory image of the state in its responsibilities
to civil society while seeking its place in the global market. The
effects of bordering and re-bordering have direct impact on
education and its governance with ramifications for linguistic,
cultural, sociological and philosophical frames of reference.
The papers in this book reflect cutting edge research by top
researchers as they grapple with the multi-faceted concerns of
bordering and re-bordering in relation to education in the 21st
century. The volume includes valuable contributions from key
educational theorists, researchers and practitioners from Africa to
the Middle East, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas educators
who shared their recent investigations and practice at the
triennial World Congress of the WCCES in Istanbul, Turkey. A focus
of particular educational concerns in the Arab world creates a
context in which to analyse recent events now termed the Arab
Spring.
This compelling and wide-ranging volume has been facilitated by
the WCCES and provides new theory on bordering and re-bordering
with comprehensive comparative assessment of educational
implications of power politics in the face of the re-ordering, and
re-bordering of our globalized world."
