Globalisation, Education and Development: Ideas, Actors and Dynamics

Abstract

Globalisation, Education and Development: Ideas, Actors and Dynamics is the outcome of a State of the Art Synthetic Review of the literature on Globalisation, Education and Development. This volume reports the findings of a 14 month-long project commissioned by the Department for International Development (DfID) where we reviewed the literature on key global actors, their policies and programmes on development as is mediated through education. The purpose of this review is to provide a basis for informed policymaking and programme implementation. The focus of this particular project was on the policies and programmes of the multilateral and supranational organisations, such as those tied to the system of global governance, that have implications for countries in alleviating poverty and in meeting the Millennium Development Goals. It was led by a team from the Centre for Globalisation, Education and Societies Susan Robertson, Mario Novelli, Roger Dale and Leon Tikly at the University of Bristol, and Hillary Dachi and Ndibelema Alphonce at the University of Dar es Salaam.
