Full Description
Now in its fifth edition, Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local has established itself as the state-of-the art, comprehensive as well as sophisticated framework for taking into account the dynamic interactions of local, national, regional, and transnational factors shaping education systems around the world. Our theoretical and methodological strategy for this volume has proven effective as a standard textbook for introducing the field of comparative education from various theoretical and methodological perspectives.
