Description
The Research Handbook on Education Privatization and Marketization analyses global trends related to two of the most debated topics in contemporary education policy.
Comprehensive and multidisciplinary, this Research Handbook expands on new conceptual, theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of privatization and marketization. Chapters cover key themes including: new developments in the field such as tax credit scholarship and low fee private schools; the enactment and impact of privatization and marketization; and resistance movements and regulatory responses. Offering international insights from education, sociology, geography and political science, the authors conduct an in-depth examination of innovative frameworks for current and future studies, building upon existing knowledge and continuing an important dialogue in this evolving area of research.
This is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of sociology, education studies, political science, and public policy. Practitioners and policymakers within international organisations, research foundations, think tanks, and civil society organisations will also find this Research Handbook beneficial.

Reviews / Votes
'Nearly every aspect of education now is considered fair game for privatization. The Research Handbook on Education Privatization and Marketization is an essential read for both enthusiasts and opponents, and everyone in between. It necessarily challenges assumptions and raises urgent questions about the future of privatization. The most ambitious attempt yet to paint the bigger picture behind marketization and privatization - a definitive account of the economic, political, and social forces that drive one of the most important dynamics in education in the past century.' -- Patricia E. Burch, University of Southern California, USA 'This Research Handbook, written by an impressive array of international scholars, provides a wide ranging overview of privatisation and marketisation in the field of education. It will be essential reading for students, researchers and teachers who are interested in these increasingly important issues and will serve as the standard reference work for years to come.' -- Anne West, London School of Economics and Political Science, UKMore details
