Fourth International Handbook of Globalisation, Education and Policy Research

This comprehensive handbook offers a global synthesis of education policy research from the past decade, examining globalization's impact through both structuralist and post-structuralist theoretical frameworks. The work uniquely balances perspectives from the global North and global South, creating a truly international dialogue about educational policy transformation. It systematically analyzes how worldwide trends manifest differently across diverse societies, cultures, and learning environments, providing readers with a multidimensional understanding of education policy development.

What distinguishes this volume is its rigorous theoretical organization and commitment to representing marginalized voices in the globalization discourse. Researchers and graduate students in comparative education and policy studies will find invaluable insights into how global forces reshape national education systems. The handbook's critical examination of power dynamics in educational globalization makes it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between international trends and local implementation. This work establishes a new benchmark for comprehensive policy analysis in an increasingly interconnected educational landscape.
