Routledge Education and Neoliberal Globalization - Routledge Research

Education and Neoliberal Globalization examines how structural changes in schooling and the expanding influence of neoliberalism and globalisation reshape social change, national development, and democratic educational systems worldwide. Written by critical education scholar Carlos Alberto Torres, this Routledge Research in Education volume combines analytical frameworks for understanding and critiquing neoliberal state practices-both domestic and international-with documented alternatives and critiques developed by education scholars and activists. Rather than simply lamenting current educational policy, the book offers constructive pathways forward, exploring how educational systems can resist commodification and strengthen democratic participation in an increasingly globalised world. Essential reading for educators, policymakers, and scholars examining the intersection of education policy, economic systems, and social equity.
