Globalisation, Comparative Education and Policy Research

This book analyses major discourses of human rights and education. It examines critically major issues confronting human rights and education, both locally and globally. The various chapters analyze the challenges that different societies are faced with, as they attempt to implement, protect and defend democracy, cultural diversity and human rights in schools. The book helps readers to explore their own views and consider more broadly what may be in the best interests of a fair and just society, as envisioned in human rights treaties, human rights education in schools, and cultural diversity.
