This reissue of Globalization and Education is more than just a second edition, since chapters from the first edition (published in 2000) have been substantially updated and several new chapters added. The editors and many of the contributors have been co-operating on this topic for many years; hence, the book reflects a prolonged extensive contemplation about the complexities of the topic, which undoubtedly contributes to the book’s depth and scope. Consequently, we have an accurate large volume, primarily from the field of comparative education studies, which explains some of the most relevant attributes and characteristics of the subject of included studies, which also sheds light on actual developments on all levels of education. . . .This multifaceted book presents yet another case of a larger cooperative educational study, which proves that the end of the neoliberal epoch is highly desired and as much as possible projected in the area of education. Recalling the tradition of the Enlightenment, one may say that educators and philosophers are again emphatically encouraged to invent humanity anew.
