Precarity and Insecurity in International Schooling addresses this paradox, and starts a new discussion, arguing that a more positive lens of inquiry is required to understand the situation. In so doing, the book introduces new sociological evidence, concepts and visions linked to the accumulation of 'resilience' and 'transition capital'.
This book will be of interest to students and researchers wishing to gain a new and contemporary insight into the rapidly changing world of International Schooling.
