The Oxford Handbook of Education and Globalization
Paola Mattei, Xavier Dumay, Eric Mangez, Jacqueline Behrend,Part I of this Handbook is dedicated to presenting, discussing, and comparing three such theories of globalization and their implications for our understanding of education and education policy. Comparative politics has for its part concerned itself with developing a more complex, less unified, and “transformationalist” view of the state by acknowledging the fragmentation and distribution of its functions among distinct domains and levels.
Part II gravitates around this global constellation, with chapters focusing on global reforms, norms, and ideas put forward by supranational organizations, on international accountability processes and on the ways in which nation states or local actors adopt, implement, or resist global ideas and reforms. The two parts reflect these disciplinary approaches to the relation between globalization and education.
Together, these two approaches seek to provide a comprehensive overview of how globalization and education interact to result in distinct and varying outcomes across world regions.
