Description
This book explores the interrelationship between ideology, the state,  and education reforms, placing it in a global context. It examines some  of the major education reforms and policy issues in a global culture,  particularly in light of recent shifts in quality and standards-driven  education, and policy research. The book critiques the neo-liberal  ideological imperatives of current education and policy reforms, and  illustrates the way the shifts in the relationship between the state and  education policy affect current trends in education reforms and  schooling globally. 
With this as its focus, the book’s individual  chapters highlight hand-picked scholarly research on major discourses  in the field of comparative education. A compendium of the very latest  thinking on the subject, the book – like the other volumes in the series  – offers a state-of-the-art sourcebook for researchers, practitioners  and policymakers alike. 
Not only do the chapters offer a timely  overview of current issues affecting comparative education and education  policy research in what is now a global educational culture; they also  outline future directions that education and policy reforms could take.  By doing so, they provide a comprehensive picture of the intersecting  and diverse discourses of globalisation and policy-driven reforms in  education. 
Individual chapters critically assess the dominant  discourses and debates on education and policy reforms. Using diverse  comparative education paradigms from critical theory to  historical-comparative research, they address globalisation, ideology  and democracy and examine both the reasons for and outcomes of education  reforms and policy change. As such, they provide an informed critique  of models of quality and standards-driven education reforms that are  informed by Western dominant ideologies and social values.
