The Machinery of School Internationalisation in Action : Beyond the Established Boundaries

Drawing on scholarship from the field of internationalisation in higher education and other theoretical influences in education policy, comparative education and sociology of education, this edited collection offers a much-needed extension of discussion and research into the compulsory schooling context. In this book, established and emerging scholars provide an authoritative set of conceptual tools for researchers in the field of internationalisation of compulsory schooling. It provides an overview of the current knowledge base and ways in which future research could engage with gaps in understandings. Through detailed case studies of the multiple forms of internationalisation present within schools and schooling systems, the volume considers why and how processes of internationalisation are shaping compulsory schooling today. This book will offer scholars and educators a clearer, more coherent set of conceptual frameworks within which to position their work in sociology of education, global studies in education, and international and comparative education, helping to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the many ways that compulsory schooling is being internationalised, and with what consequences.
