Handbook of Global Education Policy cover

This innovative new handbook offers a comprehensive overview of the ways in which domestic education policy is framed and influenced by global institutions and actors.

  • Surveys current debates about the role of education in a global polity, highlights key transnational policy actors, accessibly introduces research methodologies, and outlines global agendas for education reform
  • Includes contributions from an international cast of established and emerging scholars at the forefront of the field thoughtfully edited and organized by a team of world-renowned global education policy experts
  • Each section features a thorough introduction designed to facilitate readers’ understanding of the subsequent material and highlight links to interdisciplinary global policy scholarship
  • Written in an accessible and engaging style that will appeal to domestic and international policy practitioners, social scientists, and education scholars alike

"Chapter authors include some of the leading figures in the field of educational policy research: Stephen Ball, Aaron Benavot, Xavier Bonal, Martin Carnoy, Andy Green, Bob Lingard, Caroline Manion, Simon Marginson, Karen Mundy, Fazal Rizvi, Susan Robertson and Antoni Verger, to name just a selection, are household names in the area. There are also less known but equally important contributors, rendering this compendium a ‘who’s who’ of educational policy and comparative education research."
