Globalisation, Education And Culture Shock

How has globalisation affected educational thought and practice? This volume presents a fascinating exploration of the impact of globalisation on education. The authors consider the changes sometimes subtle, sometimes revolutionary that arise when ideas, practices and experiences are discussed and analyzed by people of contrasting cultural backgrounds. Through a series of case studies, they examine the dilemmas and contradictions, as well as the new ideas and opportunities, that globalisation offers to individuals, to states and to intellectual cultures.
