Series: Research in Comparative and Global Social Policy

The movement of policy is a core feature of contemporary education reform. Many different concepts, including policy transfer, borrowing and lending, travelling, diffusion and mobility, have been deployed to study how and why policy moves across jurisdictions, scales of governance, policy sectors or organisations. However, the underlying theoretical perspectives and the foundational assumptions of different approaches to policy movement remain insufficiently discussed.

To address this gap, this book places front and center questions of theory, ontology, epistemology and method related to policy movement. It explores a wide diversity of approaches to help understand the policy movement phenomena, providing a useful guide on global studies in education, as well as insights into the future of this dynamic area of work.

Reviews for Researching Global Education Policy: Diverse Approaches to Policy Movement

"""A great invitation to look at the same phenomenon – travelling reforms – from different theoretical perspectives. Exposed to varied viewpoints, the reader learns as much about debates in comparative and international education as about the complexity of policy mobility in an era of counter-globalization and decolonial thought."" Gita Steiner-Khamsi, Columbia University, New York; Honorary UNESCO Chair of Comparative Education Policy of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva"
