Routledge Teachers and Teacher Unions in a Globalised World

Explore the complex relationship between education, labor, and global politics in Teachers and Teacher Unions in a Globalised World. Part of the Routledge Research in Education series, this book examines the challenges facing teacher educators and unions in an era defined by global capitalism and economic shifts. As governments navigate austerity politics, social inequalities, and environmental crises, this text investigates how these global pressures impact national education systems. The authors provide a detailed analysis centered on the Irish context, questioning whether the pressures of a globalized economy are leading to the dismantling of established education structures. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of policy, history, and the practical realities of teaching in a rapidly changing world.
