"Popkewitz has 'done it again' in my opinion, bringing together a collection of papers on contemporary 'state relations' and education that cannot be matched. The text is not only accessible and informative, but theoretically interesting as well. Particularly groundbreaking is the exemplification of diverse but 'complimentary' social theories of how to read 'public education' in this new age of globalization." — Lynda Stone, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
