Beskrivning
Rooted in an international political economy theoretical framework, this book provides unique insights into the global forces and local responses that are shaping education systems in Central America and the Latin Caribbean (CALC). The book covers all Spanish-speaking countries of the CALC region and examines the effects of macro-economic pressures, geopolitical intervention, neo-colonial relationships, global pandemics, transnational gang networks, and the influence of international organizations. Chapters analyse the challenges and opportunities these global forces present to education systems in the region as well as highlighting the local efforts to address, mitigate, and counteract them. In doing so, the book illuminates how education can contribute to either maintaining or challenging inequalities and exclusion in the face of pressures from the global to local levels.

“Moving between regional and hemispheric frameworks, this important and highly original volume closely analyzes the educational landscapes of Central America and the Caribbean that are seldom placed in relation to one another, enabling us to see how in-country politics as well as intra-regional and global forces have impacted the trajectories of schools, universities, and alternative spaces of learning in the region. From local schools to national curricula and global education design, this volume uses a political economy of education approach to expertly reveal how underdevelopment, dependency, and country inequities become hardened through elite-led development, privatization, and divestment, to deepening social problems and frustrating social change. These ongoing dynamics, to which educators, students, and their families have routinely challenged, resisted, and sought to transform, nuances our understanding of social exclusion, inequality, and educational processes in the region, resituating education’s principal role in producing the Central America and Caribbean of today.” Jorge E. Cuéllar, Dartmouth College
