Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems

"This book really comes together.What it showstime and time again, in a variety of national contexts and time periodsis that efforts to import school policies and curricula and practices from elsewhere always experience an intense interaction with national policies and curricula and practices. Its not that globalization efforts have no impact; its that this impact is nonlinear and not at all necessarily in the intended direction. National systems of schooling use international initiatives for their own purposes, just as globalizers try to use national vulnerabilities to advance their own agendas." --David F. Labaree, Stanford University, USA
