In the World Library of Educationalists, international experts compile career-long collections of what they judge to be their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient research findings, major theoretical and practical contributions - so the world can read them in a single manageable volume. Readers will be able to follow the themes and strands and see how their work contributes to the development of the field. This volume brings together the selected works of Fazal Rizvi.Born in India, Fazal Rizvi has lived and worked in a number of countries, including Australia, England and

En este artículo, se indica que en medio de la diversidad de definiciones, ha sido la concepción neo-liberal de la educación a lo largo de la vida la que, en los últimos años, ha logrado hacerse con una posición dominante, incluso hegemónica. Esta concepción es en gran medida una convención entre las organizaciones internacionales, como la OCDE, la Unión Europea, el Banco Mundial, la APEC y la UNESCO, que han obtenido un gran éxito al asignar un significado concreto a la idea de educación a lo largo de la vida. Este significado se basa en el concepto que las distintas organizaciones intergubernamentales poseen acerca de la globalización en general y de la economía mundial en particular. Dicha concepción de la educación a lo largo de la vida se encuentra dentro de un imaginario social según el cual el mundo laboral y las relaciones sociales se ven transformados por la globalización, y cómo, bajo ese prisma, la función de la educación debe ser revisada para satisfacer las necesidades de la economía mundial post-industrial basada en el conocimiento y la información, y orientada a los servicios.In this article, I want to suggest that amid this diversity of definitions, it has been the neo-liberal conception of lifelong learning that has, in recent years, become dominant, even hegemonic. This conception is largely a construction of international organizations(IGOs),such as the OECD,the European Union, the World Bank, APEC and UNESCO, who have been highly successful in attaching a particular meaning to the idea of lifelong learning. This meaning is based on a distinctive understanding the IGOs have of the educational requirements of globalization in general and of the global economy in particular. This conception of lifelong learning is located within a social imaginary about how the world of workand social relationsis becoming transformed by globalization, and how, in such a world, the function of education must be re-conceptualized, to meet the needs of the global economy characterized as informational,knowledge-based, post-industrial and service-orientated.

In this short article, the author explores the complex relationship between globalization and postcolonialism. He argues that the contemporary processes of globalization are often described in ahistorical terms, whereas much of recent literature on postcolonialism is reduced largely to apolitical analyses of literary texts, disconnected from issues of current and shifting configurations of power. The author argues for the need to understand global processes in education historically and suggests that intellectual postcolonial resources of postcolonialism can be most helpful, but only if postcolonialism is viewed as a political intervention.

Rizvi and Lingard's account of the global politics of education is thoughtful, complex and compelling. It is the first really comprehensive discussion and analysis of global trends in education policy, their effects - structural and individual - and resistance to them. In the enormous body of writing on globalisation this book stands out and will become a basic text in education policy courses around the world.- Stephen J Ball, Karl Mannheim Professor of Sociology of Education, Institute of Education, University of London, UK In what ways have the processes of globaliza

Recent scholarship across a range of disciplines has sought to understand how people's relationship with place is increasingly produced by their interactions with digital entertainment and communications media. This scholarship has pointed to the capacity of social media to foster new ways of experiencing locality, culture and belonging, including for mobile populations and transnational communities. In this article, we draw upon original qualitative research to explore how international students in Australian higher education from China and India use local and transnational media to experience, thus produce, Melbourne as a place. We show how for this generation of international students their senses of both home and Australia are fragmented, deterritorialized and syncretic, woven in and through each other, as the Australia that they inhabit is fundamentally conditioned by the fluctuating mediated co-presence of home, derived from the simultaneity offered by digital media. Such a proposal goes beyond arguments about media's role in the pluralization and hybridization of places, suggesting a more fundamental transformation in the very meaning of place itself as a result of the experiential ubiquity of transnational media connections.

This book brings together leading scholars in Global Studies in Education to reflect on how various developments of historic significance have unsettled the neoliberal imaginary of globalization. The developments include greater recognition of inequalities and the changing nature of work and communication; the emergence of new technologies of governance; a greater awareness of geopolitical shifts; the revival of nationalism, populism and anti-globalization sentiments; and the recognition of risks surrounding pandemics and climate change. Drawing from a range of disciplinary perspectives, the chapters in this collection examine how these developments demand new ways of thinking about globalization and its implications for education policy and practice -- beyond the neoliberal imaginary.

Transnational Perspectives on Democracy, Citizenship, Human Rights and Peace Education considers ways in which national systems of education could work together, across borders, to determine the meaning and significance of the principles of democracy, human rights and peace education, in ways that are comparative and relational. The contributors and editors (Mary Drinkwater, Fazal Rizvi and Karen Edge) argue that in an era of globalization, collaborative investigations are crucial for developing an understanding of rights, democracy and peace that is transnationally inflected, and through which national systems of education hold each other accountable. The chapters address issues such as citizenship, identity, language, conflict and peace-building, global educational policy, and democratic approaches to policy and education issues of democracy, human rights and peace education through analyses of case studies, research findings and policy initiatives drawn from countries in the global north and south. The book also includes a companion website with supplementary reading materials and discussion questions based on key issues emerging from the chapters

Governments around the world are trying to come to terms with new technologies, new social movements and a changing global economy. As a result, educational policy finds itself at the centre of a major political struggle between those who see it only for its instrumental outcomes and those who see its potential for human emancipation. This book is a successor to the best-selling Understanding Schooling (1988). It provides a readable account of how educational policies are developed by the state in response to broader social, cultural, economic and political changes which are taking place. It e
