Synopsis
As noted by Arnove (emeritus, educational leadership and policy studies), the central thesis of these 17 contributions updating the 2000 edition is that globalization poses universal challenges for education systems and thus, must be addressed in an interactive framework. Issues discussed include intercultural communication, identity, and who controls reform. Torres (social sciences and comparative education, U. of California, Los Angeles) treats educational implications of the global war on terrorism. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
