Comparative Education
This collection is a timely addition to comparative thinking in education, precisely at a time when the project of Europe, and indeed the nation state, is being challenged by economic and technological transformations, new dynamics of migration and mobility and aggressive identity politics, all of which are affecting education and its role in societal development.
The volume brings together an outstanding group of scholars who are able to explore these challenges across Europe and beyond. Their contributions are rich in theory, methodological innovation and empirical evidence. An essential work for scholars and students alike.
