Globalization and Education

Abstract

This paper reviews four books on globalization and education. It begins with a brief overview of theories of globalization, focusing specifically on cultural globalization. The paper then moves on to examine how each of the books deploys and develops a theory of globalization in relation to the topic of education. It also examines the utopian vision of education outlined within the books, as well all as the methods used to undertake research in an era of globalization.
