Recenzii

A fascinating and useful book that brings together detailed case studies of education in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific with insightful analysis that focuses upon enduring issues of quality and equity, schooling in small island states, and the impact of development assistance upon educational policymaking across the region. This book is written by a team of leading scholars working in comparative and international education, and makes a valuable addition to the field.
This is a long-awaited book on a region that is orphaned in educational research. Moving beyond a simple "education in ." account of the Australia, New Zealand and Pacific region, the authors discuss fascinating cross-cutting trends and tensions in thirty or more countries, some of them very small, that have been affected by colonialism and globalization. A useful handbook for policy makers and educators working, or interested, in the region and an indispensable resource for researchers in the fields of comparative policy studies, small states research, and Southern theory.
In recent discussions of educational reforms globally, perspectives from the Pacific are often overlooked; so it is indeed great to see a volume that brings to our attention major shifts that are taking place in the region, not only in response to the forces of globalisation but also in relation to the cultural and political developments within the region, in which Australia and New Zealand loom large. Written by some of the leading scholars in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, the papers in this volume demonstrate the how local priorities are reconciled with challenges coming from elsewhere.
