Another Way
Drawing on a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives, the case studies compiled in Another Way: Decentralization, Democratization and the Global Politics of Community-Based Schooling offer a comparative look at how global processes of educational decentralization have both helped and hindered the development of community-based schools in local-level settings across Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. On the one hand, the book shows how increased decentralization is often perceived as essential to assuring robust levels of democratization, community participation and social justice in education. On the other hand, it is also shown how processes of educational decentralization are often experienced in local communities as a mechanism of increased austerity, privatization and segregation.

This transdisciplinary approach focuses on the nature of liberalism as a global ideal, positing that eliteness is sustained by an economy with its own culture of value and exchange that, ironically, the scholarship on elites may help perpetuate.
La reproducción de las desigualdades sociales en el sistema educativo. El mapa escolar de Valencia
La educación es un “fenómeno social total” y su conocimiento requiere el análisis concreto de sus dimensiones históricas, legislativas, económicas, sociales, pedagógicas y políticas. En esta dirección, se muestra, desde el análisis jurídico-constitucional, la estrecha relación entre el derecho de las familias a la libre elección de centro educativo y la segregación escolar en la sociedad española. Desde las otras dimensiones históricas, sociales y pedagógicas, el estudio constata que el elemento que más contribuye a la alta segregación es la existencia de la doble red escolar financiada con dinero público, ya que las escuelas concertadas favorecen de una forma determin...
