Fostering cohesion and acceptance amidst a plurality of cultures and values is a clear context for quality education and also for PVE.

Johnstone, Christopher; Lazarus, Sheryl; Lazetic, Predrag; Nikolic, Gordana – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2019

At the same time, policies in many countries often lack…

Zapp, Mike – Prospects: Quarterly Review of Comparative Education, 2019
Many analyses of globalized education have directed growing attention to a problematic local-global nexus, with a particular focus on international organizations (IOs) as coercive and normative governance actors that influence national educational policymaking. By contrast, this work stresses the cultural-cognitive dimension of IOs' education work…
