Globalisation, Post-Modernity and the State: Comparative Education Facing the Third Millennium.
Welch, Anthony R.
Comparative Education, v37 n4 p475-92 Nov 2001
Globalization and post-modernity are linked to changes in the nature of late capitalism and crises in the modern state. Neither offers much in practice to the much needed renewal of democracy, including in education. Indeed, both arguably contribute to a trend towards individualism, and a retreat from democratic engagement and visions of the social good. (Contains 132 references.) (Author/TD)
