- Summary:
- These case studies from five continents use ethnography and history to challenge the sweeping claims of sociology' s world culture theory (neo-institutionalism). They demonstrate how national ministries of education and local schools re-invent every reform. Yet the cases also show that teachers and local reformers operate " within and against" global models.
