Summary:

"Compiling insights from leading scholars across the globe, this cutting-edge Handbook presents an overview of comparative education. It crucially distinguishes the field from other subdisciplines of educational studies, addressing key areas of debate within both scholarship and professional practice. The Handbook examines fundamental issues and concerns in research, policy, practice, and professionalisation. Bringing together representative voices from a wide range of contexts, chapters offer a holistic perspective on the theoretical approaches, methodological applications, and responsibilities of comparative education. Authors tackle the major challenges currently impacting the field, including education finance equity, accessibility of research in the Global South, and the lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Providing a comprehensive exploration of this exciting subject area, the Handbook on Comparative Education is a crucial resource for education policy students, scholars, and comparativists. It is also beneficial to researchers and professionals interested in areas such as international development, management education, and comparative education"-- Provided by publisher.
