There are also less known but equally important contributors, rendering this compendium a 'who's who' of educational policy and comparative education research."Peter Mayo - University of Malta, ©Copyright 2019 MayoSource: London Review of Education, Volume 17, Number 1, March 2019, pp.90-92(3)

Review Text
“This is a remarkable editorial achievement. By bringing together some of the best known writers on global education policy, this volume does the international educational community an invaluable service. Those wishing to deepen their understanding of the complex mechanisms and processes that drive education policy in this new global era will find much in this book that will engage, challenge, and provoke them. An essential overview for students and seasoned researchers alike.”Ronald G. Sultana, Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Educational Research, University of Malta “This authoritative Handbook, edited by leading international scholars, brings together a veritable Who’s Who from the world of comparative education. It also includes chapters by promising young scholars from many parts of the world. Core issues relating to education’s role in the global polity, key actors, and future directions are elegantly knitted together with a thought provoking commentary for each section by the four editors.”Ruth Hayhoe, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto “A cutting-edge resource for Chinese education researchers and policy makers supporting interaction with the international education community. At a time when China is receiving more and more attention worldwide, there is an urgent need for us to better understand and then contribute to global education governance. It also shows special value of developing comparative education in China since we are moving towards more international and development studies.”TENG Jun, Faculty of Education, Beijing Normal University “The editors and contributors are eminent scholars, who have been working in the research of the education policies for years. They profoundly understand and are able to write about global changes in the field. This book is essential reading for everyone with an interest not only in education policy research but also more widely across education policy and international policy.”Risto Rinne, Center for Research on Lifelong Learning and Education and Department of Education, University of Turku
