Handbook of Education Policy Studies cover

This handbook analyzes educational policy research through various international perspectives, presenting new theories and methods for contemporary education reform.

The Handbook of Education Policy Studies serves as a comprehensive resource, uniting cutting-edge research from a diverse array of influential scholars in the field of education policy. This open access volume delves into the intricacies of educational policy research, offering insights from international, historical, and interdisciplinary viewpoints. By transcending the traditional boundaries that separate countries and academic disciplines, it introduces innovative theories, techniques, and methodologies that are crucial for understanding contemporary education policy. The book also highlights various educational policies and reform practices adopted by different nations to navigate the challenges posed by ongoing changes in the educational landscape.

Focusing on the interplay between education policy and reform, the Handbook of Education Policy Studies critically examines the nature of education quality and the historical context of reform initiatives. It adopts a comparative perspective to explore how different countries approach the relationship between policy and reform, addressing both theoretical and practical considerations. The book further investigates the shift from regulatory frameworks to multiple governance models in modern educational administration, shedding light on the effects of globalization on national education reforms and the interconnectedness of nations in this arena.

In addition to macro policy changes, this volume offers a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics between contemporary education reform and broader social transformations. By linking educational policy research to social, political, and economic systems, the Handbook of Education Policy Studies provides a holistic view of the macro trends shaping education today, making it an essential read for scholars and practitioners alike.
