At the beginning of the 21st century new features have emerged within the field of comparative
education. Some of these features result from new technologies while others reflect political
transitions and the forces of globalisation. The field embraces new insights on cultures and
scholars are exploring diverse units of analysis. This book presents perspectives on these
changes while noting various continuing traditions. Its contributors come from a wide range of
countries and contexts and present their work within a framework set by the 11th congress of
the World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES). The book makes a valuable
methodological as well as a conceptual contribution to the field.
