Produktbeschreibung

This two-volume compendium brings together leading scholars from around the world who provide authoritative studies of the old and new epistemic motifs and theoretical strands that have characterized the interdisciplinary field of comparative and international education in the last 50 years. It analyses the shifting agendas of scholarly research, the different intellectual and ideological perspectives and the changing methodological approaches used to examine and interpret education and pedagogy across different political formations, societies and cultures.

The International Handbook of Comparative Education examines current cutting-edge themes and the ways in which comparative educationists think about neo-liberalism, market and religious fundamentalisms, knowledge societies, postmodernity and post-colonialism. It also looks ahead and anticipates new directions of thought in comparative education.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"It is ... weighty in a conceptual sense and adds significantly to the field of comparative education. The editors are distinguished figures in the field ... . They have assembled a wide range of contributors including many well-known authors; and their Handbook has both breadth and depth. ... the Handbook indeed achieves its goal of assessing the past and present of the field, and of suggesting future directions. It will serve as a lasting benchmark and reference, both for individual chapters and in its entirety." (Mark Bray, International Review of Education, Vol. 57 (1-2), April, 2011)
