Globalization and Education
The effects of globalization have long been dealt with in terms of economic and technological consequences, but what about the influence on education?

The essays contained in this comprehensive yet readable book, strive to provide a thorough examination of the impact these changes are having on how education is defined, whom it serves, and how it is assessed around the world. Globalization and Education is organized into three sections. The first addresses conceptual and theoretical issues underlying such notions as globalization, internationalization, and multilateralism. The second presents empirical data from various contries and provides examples of shifts and transformations within a specific level or modality of the educational system. The third looks at the totality of educational changes taking the nation as the unit of analysis.

The Impact of Globalization on Education
The notion of globalisation and its relation to education is widely being discussed among politicians, philosophers, scholars, educators and students throughout the world.

Both an introduction to the topic and a f...
