Crafting a Global Field
The Comparative and International Education Society (CIES) is the oldest and largest body of its kind, and is a leader among the 44 members of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES). This book celebrates the CIES' 60th anniversary. The Society grew out of a series of conferences in the mid-1950s. Those conferences were attended by a small group of scholars in the USA who were keen to elucidate and expand their field. Now the Society has over 2,500 individual and about 900 institutional members (mainly libraries) around the world. The book explains how the Society was constructed and internationalized. It analyzes its development trajectory, its major structural components, and the programs and curricula that it has inspired and nourished. The significance of the book is not restricted to the CIES. It will certainly interest counterparts in other WCCES constituent societies and scholars from all fields who are concerned with institutional structures and their evolution.

Comparative and International Education
This book explores the evolution and current state of the scholarly field of comparative and international education over 200 years of development. Experts in the field explore comparative and international education in each of the major world regions.
Common Interests, Uncommon Goals
The World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) was established in 1970 as an umbrella body which brought together five national and regional comparative education societies. Over the decades it greatly expanded, and now embraces three dozen societies. This book presents histories of the WCCES and its member societies. It shows ways in which the field has changed over the decades, and the forces which have shaped it in different parts of the world.
Comparative and International Studies and the Theory and Practice of Education
Papers presented at a conference on comparative and international education, sponsored by the Australian Comparative and International Education Society, are collected in this document. The 26 papers are divided into three sections. The first section, entitled "Reflections on the Contribution of Comparative and International Studies to the Theory and Practice of Education," discusses the role and values of perspectives from the fields of comparative, international, development, and multicultural education. Research paradigms and methodologies are discussed, as well as issues of multiculturalism both within and among countries. The second section, "Schooling, Policies and Practices," has an international focus and for the most part does not address theoretical issues, but concentrates on a variety of educational policies and practices in different countries. Finally, the third section, "Colonialism and Education: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives," discusses colonialism and the transition of education models. (KH)
