Reviews
From the reviews:
“It is … weighty in a conceptual sense and adds significantly to the field of comparative education. The editors are distinguished figures in the field … . They have assembled a wide range of contributors including many well-known authors; and their Handbook has both breadth and depth. … the Handbook indeed achieves its goal of assessing the past and present of the field, and of suggesting future directions. It will serve as a lasting benchmark and reference, both for individual chapters and in its entirety.” (Mark Bray, International Review of Education, Vol. 57 (1-2), April, 2011)Editors and Affiliations
