International Handbook of Comparative Education

by Robert Cowen (Editor), Andreas M. Kazamias (Editor)

This two-volume compendium brings together leading scholars from around the world who provide authoritative studies of the old and new epistemic motifs and theoretical strands that have characterized the interdisciplinary field of comparative and international education in the last 50 years. It analyses the shifting agendas of scholarly research, the different intellectual and ideological perspectives and the changing methodological approaches used to examine and interpret education and pedagogy across different political formations, societies and cultures.

handbook大杂烩，但是Kazamias的几章真是好，历史学家的视野一览无遗。想来我也真是后知后觉，做学生的时候见到他，总觉得是个口音怪怪的老先生，也根本想不到读他。现在反而才发觉了他的好。我觉得一个很有意思的研究题目是：比较教育为何没有从十九世纪的「原型社会科学」（proto-social science）里转变为一个学科（像社会学和人类学那样）？而仅仅变成了另一个细分领域呢？
