Routledge Education as a Political Tool in Asia Book

Explore the complex relationship between learning and power with Education as a Political Tool in Asia. Part of the Routledge Contemporary Asia Series, this book provides a comparative look at how education functions within Asian societies during the era of globalisation. Throughout history, education has served as a method to define national identity and support the political rationale of different regimes. This text examines these dynamics in a modern context, looking at how political interests shape educational systems. Readers will find detailed examples of these shifts, such as the changing definition of Indian national identity. This book is an essential resource for those studying the social and political landscape of Asia. It offers a fresh perspective on how the politicisation of education affects regional societies and national development in a rapidly changing world.
