Recenzje

"The robust impression of Germany's transnational education provision from bilingual elementary schools to bilateral universities is a rich contribution that not only scholars of international and comparative education can enjoy. This book opens a range of viewpoints from which other countries' TNE provision can be explored and investigated. ... The Germans are on to something-and I hope international education practitioners and scholars read this book and allow it to provide them with thought-provoking impulses for their own institutional, national, and societal contexts." (Jessica D. Schüller, Research in Comparative and International Education, September 21, 2020)
