Second International Handbook on Globalisation, Education and Policy Research

Joseph Zajda, Second International Handbook on Globalisation, Education and Policy Research, Springer, 2015. ISBN 978-94-017-9493-0. Pages: 854. 

This handbook presents a global overview of developments in education and policy change during the last decade. Divided into two parts, the handbook first examines globalisation and education policy reforms, including coverage of main trends as well as specific policy issues such as gender, equity, minorities and human rights. Next, the handbook offers a comparative perspective that evaluates the ambivalent and problematic relationship between globalisation, the state and education reforms globally. It features coverage on curricula issues and education reforms in schools around the world as well as the curriculum in the global culture.
