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.
