Reviews

This is a collection of essays which not only ticks a lot of boxes, but also relates the boxes to each other, ranging a world wide spectrum of education from nursery, school, further and continuing education and higher education.' -- Higher Education Review
Geoff Elliot and his fellow editors have delivered a useful and far reaching contribution to the globalisation debate and presented us with a publication that should appeal to the relative novice in this area of study and sate the appetite of the more dedicated and informed reader... There is a wealth of case study material and insight here and most readers should find this a useful addition to their collection. The book acts as both a useful introduction to this area and a launch pad into what would seem to be the central issue of educational debate over the next few decades. -- Pete Jones, Shropshire Childrens University * Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning *
