Globalisation and Education examines some of the key international issues confronting the development
of education in Australia and around the world. The subject is based on the view that the past two decades have witnessed an increasing global flow of people, technologies, knowledge and cultures, and that this is helping to re-shape the context in which educators work. International education has emerged as a significant phenomenon within this context.
Key areas of focus include:
1. Processes and practices of globalisation and their implications for education;
2. Theories of globalisation and internationalisation, multilateral organisations and structures, cultural and social identities, political and economic processes;
3. Practices and future of international education, national educational systems and globalization.
