Where Is Theory Headed in International and Comparative Education? --Notes --References --IndexOver the past fifty years, new theoretical approaches to comparative and international education have transformed it as an academic field. We know that fields of research are often shaped by "collectives" of researchers and students converging at auspicious times throughout history. Part institutional memoir and part intellectual history, Transforming Comparative Education takes the Stanford "collective" as a framework for discussing major trends and contributions to the field from the early 1960s to the present day, and beyond. Carnoy draws on interviews with researchers at Stanford to present the genesis of their key theoretical findings in their own words. Moving through them chronologically, Carnoy situates each work within its historical context, and argues that comparative education is strongly influenced by its economic and political environment. Ultimately, he discusses the potential influence of feminist theory, organizational theory, impact evaluation, world society theory, and state theory on comparative work in the future, and the political and economic changes that might inspire new directions in the field.Comparative educationInternational educationauthors' voices.comparative and international education.innovative theoretical approaches.intellectual history.interpreting a changing world.political context.Comparative education.International education.370.195Carnoy Martin123911MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820154803321Transforming comparative education4022627UNINA
