Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems

Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique global reform movements that seek to homogenize schooling around the world and how and why they inevitably confront significant tensions caused by differences in heritage, politics, and formal structures.

As contemporary education becomes increasingly tied to global economic power, national school systems attempting to influence one another inevitably confront significant tensions caused by differences in heritage, politics, and formal structures. This volume provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of the reform movements that seek to homogenize schooling around the world. Informed by historical and sociological insight into a variety of nations and eras, these in-depth case studies reveal how and why sweeping, convergent global reform agendas clash with specific national and local institutional policies, practices, idiosyncrasies, and curricula.
