Description

Policy Borrowing and Reform in Education: Understanding Globalization's Impact This book explores the complex relationships between globalization, policy borrowing, and educational reform. By examining the history, processes, theories, and trends of globalization, Laura M. Portnoi provides a comprehensive overview of its influence on education. Portnoi critically examines the dominance of the Global North and the role of global governance organizations in shaping educational policies. She also investigates how local agents intervene to mediate the forces of globalization, offering insights into the political nature of policy borrowing. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars of comparative education, social foundations, educational policy, teacher education, higher education, and policy studies.
