"This volume is a useful resource for students of the social
foundations of education and for educators preparing for the
challenges of increasing intercivilizational classrooms."
—CHOICE"The strength of Spring's analysis lies in its comparative
orientation. This is perhaps one of the first serious works that
looks at the articulation of educational rights at the global level
from a comparative perspective. It certainly paves way for other
students, researchers, and scholars of comparative education to
take up research along these lines."
—Comparative Educational Review"...this book is worth a read, and
cuts new ground in relating talk about educational rights to
globalization. The very comparison of systems of rights around
education, including liberty, equality, and educational
opportunity, represents an important contribution to discussion and
debate."
—Globalization, Societies and Education"One of the few books that
analyzes the meaning of universal freedom within the current
debates over the globalization of capital. This is not only an
important book, but an urgent one...."
—Peter McLaren
University of California, Los Angeles"Clear in organization and
bold in content....The historical, international, and
interdisciplinary perspectives provide strong support....The
breadth of scholarship is impressive--and consistent with Spring's
other texts."
—Brian Morgan
York University"What I like most is the clear definition of the
terms/ideas that Spring uses as the basis for creating a new vision
of education and for evaluating existing systems of schooling."
