Opis

In an increasingly globalised educational landscape, this book examines whether the principle of educational equality can be applied across nation state borders.

Recenzje

"Tannock should be commended; over the length of the book his analysis throws light on the enormity and the complexity of an important and underdeveloped area of internationalization - social justice for international students. ... the book should be viewed as an invitation to identify, problematise, monitor and debate issues of educational equality on a global scale. The book will appeal to a wide audience of academics, policy-makers and administrators; I expect many will take up the invitation." (Annette Bamberger, Comparative Education, January, 2019)
