Vavrus Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Print ISBN: 9780230615977, 023061597X eText ISBN: 9780230101760, 0230101763 Copyright year: 2009 Format: PDF Available from $ 54.99 USD SKU 9780230101760 This book unites a dynamic group of scholars who examine linkages among local, national, and international levels of educational policy and practice. Utilizing multi-sited, ethnographic approaches, the essays explore vertical interactions across diverse levels of policy and practice while prompting horizontal comparisons across twelve sites in Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. The vertical case studies focus on a range of topics, including participatory development, the politics of culture and language, neoliberal educational reforms, and education in post-conflict settings. Editors Vavrus and Bartlett contribute to comparative theory and practice by demonstrating the advantages of thinking vertically.
