It provides country cases and thematic chapters that give nuanced insights into the influence of transnational agencies on national governance and discourses. It describes how national discourses and regulation influences school leadership values, culture and practice, in competition with traditional values. The transnational and global discourse on educational leadership is mostly formed according to Anglo-American thinking and tradition. Pivotal foundations of this discourse are strong hierarchical societies/class societies with liberal democracies, and clearly streamed education systems. The Nordic discourse, however, builds on a more equal society and flat hierarchies with participatory democracy, and on comprehensive schooling with strong local community roots. Leadership thinking and practices are formed by the culture and context they are part of: they are primarily shaped by the national/local values, traditions and practices, and only partially shaped by politics, discourses and literature. Due to the fact that a great deal of the literature that is being used in the Nordic contexts is of Anglo-American origin and many of the research projects have Anglo-American foundations, it is difficult to distinguish the sources for leadership thinking and practice. This book distinguishes the Nordic from the Anglo-American thinking and presents important findings and arguments for leadership practitioners inside as well as outside the Nordic countries. 410 0$aStudies in Educational Leadership,$x2543-0130 ;$v19 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aSchool management and organization 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aInternational education 606 $aComparative education 606 $aOrganization and Leadership 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics 606 $aInternational and Comparative Education 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aSchool management and organization. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aInternational education. 615 0$aComparative education. 615 14$aOrganization and Leadership. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aInternational and Comparative Education. 676 $a300/.948 700 $aMoos$b Lejf$0889950 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739406303321 996 $aTransnational influences on values and practices in nordic educational leadership$94202519 997 $aUNINA
