Emergent Trends in Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local addresses the changes and multiple new topics that intervene in education vis à vis processes of globalization and social transformation. As such, it complements and expands the scope of the 5th edition of Comparative Education. Chapters systematically examine the intersecting global crises in society and education occasioned by COVID-19, across types and levels of education, geographic and linguistic contexts, and fields of theory and practice.
