Summary:

"The Research Handbook on Education Privatization and Marketization analyses global trends related to two of the most debated topics in contemporary education policy. Comprehensive and multidisciplinary, this Research Handbook expands on new conceptual, theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of privatization and marketization. Chapters cover key themes including: new developments in the field such as tax credit scholarship and low fee private schools; the enactment and impact of privatization and marketization; and resistance movements and regulatory responses. Offering international insights from education, sociology, geography and political science, the authors conduct an in-depth examination of innovative frameworks for current and future studies, building upon existing knowledge and continuing an important dialogue in this evolving area of research. This is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of sociology, education studies, political science, and public policy. Practitioners and policymakers within international organisations, research foundations, think tanks, and civil society organisations will also find this Research Handbook beneficial"-- Provided by publisher.
