Policy-Making in Education: A Holistic Approach in Response to Global Changes

This book is based on the notion that an adequate response to globalization challenges requires a holistic approach to several different dimensions-immigration, technology, economy, and environment-as well as effective collaboration and coordination among the central domains of education: curriculum, teaching, and teacher education. Several cases of policy-making are presented in order to elicit common features as guidelines for the holistic policy-making model proposed in this book.
