Re-inventing the Historical in Comparative Education: Reflections on a Protean Episteme by a Contemporary Player.
Kazamias, Andreas M.
Comparative Education, v37 n4 p439-49 Nov 2001
Since the 1960s, the epistemological-cum-methodological orientations of American and British comparative education changed from being historical to being social scientific. This metamorphosis has impoverished the field, and a return to a re-invented historical mode of comparative analysis would help to humanize comparative education in a cosmos of economic globalization and instrumental rationality.
