ReviewsThe second edition (revised) of Jennifer Marshall's impressive book is a welcome update to this overview of key developments in global education, with new data since the 2014 edition. Although it is written in accessible English, it is certainly academic in the best sense, with dozens of references at the end of each chapter, along with suggested reading. It is attractively designed including activities in every chapter to encourage reflection. And one of its many strengths is the wide-ranging sweep of its themes including development and international education, political and economic contexts, and key areas such as citizenship, gender, and multicultural education. I shall certainly recommend it to our undergraduates and our library that already has multiple copies of the first edition., An authoritative book offering a detailed examination of some of the major themes surrounding comparative and international education, an essential introductory reading for anyone seeking a firm foundation in the field. The updates to case studies and introduction of key concepts amongst other aspects in this valuable second edition make a critical contribution to furthering our understanding of the contemporary developments and debates in this field., This text is a superb place to start for both UG and PG students of education new to these ideas. Jennifer writes in an inclusive way using careful definitions, probing questions and provoking case studies which help to make the concepts applicable to the experiences of both aspiring and established educators.
