Globalization or Marketization? The Dilemma of International Schools in South Korea

Abstract

In fundamental ways, the forces of globalization challenge the previous approaches and theories of national development. In the minds of some observers, globalization is an exaggerated form of global capitalism; in the view of others, it is a wake-up call to look for alternative forms to the new social and cultural arrangements that are being spontaneously generated by globalization.
