INTERNATIONALES JAHRBUCH ERWACHSENENBILDUNG 202...

Volume 45 of the International Yearbook of Adult Education focuses on neo-institutional theory
as a multifaceted and fruitful perspective in adult education research. The volume discusses
theoretical varieties of neo-institutionalism  sheds light on methodical implications and opens
up space for empirical studies that examine various phenomena in the context of adult and
continuing education using a neo-institutional theory framework. First  neo-institutional
theory is discussed in relation to comparative research in (adult) education. Second  it is
explored how the institutional can be grasped empirically using grounded theory. These
theoretically and methodologically oriented papers are followed by three empirical studies. On
a macro-level perspective  mechanisms of diffusion of lifelong learning are analyzed. Following
the concept of institutional entrepreneurship is employed in order to gain insights into actors
and actor constellations in the field of adult basic education. Finally  the integration of
quality management systems in different organizational contexts is explored with reference to
the theoretical concepts of organizational fields and loose coupling.  The paper in the
category "Miscellaneous" focuses on the openness of adult education research and explores the
representation of authors from the Global South in international journals of adult education by
means of a bibliometric study.  The yearbook is complemented by three reviews on recent
publications in the field of adult education. The reviewed publications comprise anthologies on
adult education and migration and on large-scale assessments in adult education as well as a
handbook on socialization and informal learning.
