This is a new introduction to this fascinating field, providing a comprehensive overview of the key issues. It explores the most recent developments, and includes: the blurring of the distinction between 'developed' and 'developing' countries; the increasing use of comparative studies in examining student achievement and school effectiveness; the historical and theoretical development of comparative studies; approaches to research in comparative and international education; theories of educational development; and, illustrative studies of fields of inquiry in comparative and international education (transition, post-conflict educational reconstruction, policy borrowing, education for citizenship).
