GLOBAL EDUCATION UNDER ATTACK - TRISTAN BUNNELL...

The three main programmes of the Geneva-registered International Baccalaureate (IB) have grown
enormously since the 1990s and have seemingly found their 'home' in the United States. However
the IB has provoked opposition  initially from concerned parents  and lately by conservative
agencies. This book charts the growth of the IB in America and offers a set of frameworks for
conceptualizing the history and nature of this attack. It explores the distinctly
paleo-conservative philosophy behind this attack  and reveals the influence of the American
historian Russell Kirk  alongside Edmund Burke. The book examines the notion that the IB is
un-American  and concludes that for some people in America global education is fundamentally
unnatural and must be resisted.
