BookPublisher: New Delhi Routledge - Taylor & Francis Group 2011Edition: South Asia Edition.Description: viii;198p. hb 22x14cm.ISBN: 9781138349063.DDC classification: 370.19 Summary: The book discusses the implications of globalization on education from the perspective of social justice. It looks at two countries — India and the UK — to look at how global economic and cultural processes are mediated through nation states, institutional structures and the aspirations of different social groups. It seeks to resituate the debates around education and social justice in policy, research and public discourse by highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of globalization and education.
It also demonstrates the effects of economic dimensions — the politics of neoliberalism, and how this has shifted the understanding of state responsibilities and marginalized issues pertaining to the agenda of social justice.
