This comprehensive title explores the complex relationship between education and development, providing a systematic overview of the main approaches to this field. It examines how education is shaped by national and local cultures, while also discussing its negative impacts.

The book considers different theoretical accounts from various disciplinary traditions, covering topics such as human capital, human rights, and human development, as well as education and gender. It draws on examples from a range of countries and regions to illustrate key concepts.

With a focus on providing an introductory overview to the field, this title is aimed at undergraduate students, while also engaging critically with key themes and questions. It will be of interest to development practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and corporate employees involved in education and development work.
