This volume is the result of an extraordinary effort to theorize the globalization-state-education nexus. Informed by social theory and comparative politics, the Handbook on Education and Globalization digs deep into the configuration of modern education systems and the changing nature of educational reform. Offering vital theoretical and empirical insights, is a must-read for those seeking to expand their knowledge about educational change in an increasingly interdependent world. * Antoni Verger, Department of Sociology, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona * This new Handbook brings together leading scholars for a state-of-the art discussion of educational systems in a rapidly globalizing world. The collection covers an impressive array of topics through the lenses of social theory and comparative politics. The variety of explanatory approaches as well as the historical and geographical breadth of the chapters makes this Handbook an essential and unrivaled instrument for understanding the transformation of a key institutional domain of our societies. * Professor Maurizio Ferrera, Professor of Political Science, University of Milan * The Handbook is a must-read for those interested in Latin American educational provisions' geographical and historical variations. The chapters discuss larger topics such as the state's role, contentious politics, and the multi-level implementation of national policies. Highlighting the critical roles played by teachers' unions, technocratic elites, and students' movements, the politics of education policies is analyzed against the backdrop of globalization and exogenous crises such as the 2019 COVID pandemic. * Julieta Suárez Cao, Associate Professor of Political Science, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile * The Handbook editors managed to assemble the best thinkers in the social sciences to forcefully counter theoretical nationalism in education. Traditionally a project of the nation-state, education has reinvented itself as a project of globalization. How has this new project changed the roles of the state, the professional and the learner? The book transcends the Anglo-centric preoccupation with globalization theories and helps surface the important scholarly debates on the topic that occur in different parts of the world. * Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Comparative and International Education, Columbia University *
