Book description
Because "globalization" is expressed in many ways and evokes
complex responses, it demands various lines of analysis. Globalizing
Education shows how this phenomenon is mediated and mitigated by a range of
educational policies, pedagogies, and politics. It identifies the forms of
educational governance associated with neoliberal globalism and their
manifold effects on nation-state education systems, highlighting the
colonizing minority-world imperatives and retraditionalizing ramifications.
It also shows how the global cultural economy-the disjunctive flows of
images, people, and ideas-both challenges and reinforces conventional
educational trajectories. The global/national mesh-works created by drugs,
technology, and unions are among the complicated connectivities explored.
This book exposes the more pernicious effects on education of neo-liberal
and corporate globalization and explores and identifies innovative and
transformative educational policies, pedagogies, and politics.
