Reducing standard-language-ideology conflicts through participatory research in historical sociolinguistics
This paper presents participatory research as a strategy for achieving a publicly engaged historical sociolinguistics, using a case study of collaboration between academic and community partners focused on Cockney in East London. Participatory research methods emphasise involvement by traditional research “subjects” in research design, collection, interpretation, and dissemination. Because historical sociolinguists often work with datasets from l…
Culture, context and East Asian high-performing education systems
This article examines the education system characteristics associated with high performing education systems (HPES) in East Asia, and the role of socio-economic contexts and culture in supporting these. Despite the growing interest in why East Asian systems perform so well in international tests, few studies deal the effects of contextual factors, except in passing. This study seeks to rectify this by building on the mixed-method comparative stud…
The effects of system type and characteristics on skills inequalities during upper secondary education
This article examines the effects of education system types and characteristics on changes in the distributions of literacy and numeracy skills during the upper secondary phase of education and training. Whereas there is a substantial literature on system effects on skills during the primary and lower secondary phases of education, much less has been written about these effects in relation to the upper secondary phase. This article reports on res…
Liberal, Republican, Conservative and Social-Democratic Mindsets? Exploring the existence of Citizenship Regimes in Civic Attitudes
This paper explores whether civic attitudes cluster in ways that correspond to distinct citizenship regimes. Drawing on political philosophy and citizenship literature, it identifies a liberal, a republican, a conservative, a social-democratic and a post-communist regime. These regimes are said to prevail in particular European regions and to show a certain level of stability. Using European Values Study / World Values Survey data, the paper expl…
Childhood heart problems, adulthood emotional stability, and sex associated with self-report heart conditions in adulthood
The present study investigated biomedical, social, and psychological factors associated with self-reported heart conditions in adulthood in a British cohort. In total, 5697 (50.7% males) participants with data on parental socioeconomic status, childhood cognitive ability, childhood heart problems, educational qualifications, current occupational levels, adulthood personality traits, and the prevalence of self-reported heart conditions in adulthoo…

The Handbook of Global Education Policy
This chapter provides a short overview on the history of global Education For All (EFA) efforts, progress in achieving the six EFA goals, and international aid for EFA policies. It shows that, despite modest movement in achieving the EFA goals, some of it due to explicit policies and actions undertaken by governments, international agencies, donors and non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) since Dakar, the progress has been uneven. Much of the br…

The effects of upper‐secondary education and training systems on skills inequality. A quasi‐cohort analysis using Pisa 2000 and the OECD survey of adult skills
Research tells us much about the effects of primary and lower‐secondary schooling on skills inequality, but we know less about the impact of the next stage of education. This article uses a differences‐in‐differences analysis of data on literacy and numeracy skills in PISA 2000 and SAS 2011/12 to assess the contribution of upper‐secondary education and training to inequalities in skills opportunities and outcomes. It finds that greater parity of …
Expansion of higher education and inequality of opportunities
This study extends the comparative model of country groups to analyse the cross-national trends in the higher education expansion and opportunities. We use descriptive data on characteristics and outcomes of higher education systems in different countries groups, including the liberal market countries, the social democratic countries, the Mediterranean countries, the German-speaking countries, the Northern states, and the East Asian societies. At…
The Dynamics and Social Outcomes of Education Systems
Some scholars argue that education systems across the western world are becoming increasingly similar due to the influence of transnational discourses and organizations. Others believe that education
Skills Inequality, Adult Learning and Social Cohesion In The United Kingdom
In this article we argue that the legitimacy and stability of the social and political order in Britain is undermined by persistent inequalities of skills and opportunities. We first contend that British society is characterised by a liberal regime of social cohesion. Crucial to such a regime is the belief in individual opportunity and rewards based on merit. We demonstrate, through comparative analysis, that skills inequality is actually higher …
Regimes of Social Cohesion
In an original, and highly interdisciplinary, mixed method approach, Green and Janmaat identify four major traditions of social cohesion in developed societies, analyzing how these various mechanisms are withstanding the strains of the current global financial crisis
Modelos de formación a lo largo de toda la vida y la «sociedad del conocimiento» en Europa
La pregunta central que es fa aquest article és: «Quin tipus de formació al llarg de tota la vida pot facilitar aconseguir una “economia del coneixement” competitiva i dinàmica que també sigui una “societat del coneixement” amb alts nivells de cohesió social?» L’article ho investiga mitjançant l’anàlisi dels diferents models nacionals i regionals de l’«economia del coneixement» a Europa, com també de la contribució de la formació en el decurs de …
The politics of Esol (English for speakers of other languages)
A number of countries in Europe, including the UK, have adopted language and citizenship tests or courses as a requirement for granting citizenship to immigrants. To acquire citizenship, immigrants to the UK must pass a test on British society and culture, or demonstrate progress in the English language. For those with an insufficient command of the language, there is the option in the UK of taking an English for speakers of other languages (ESOL…

Remembering Slavery in Birmingham
This article considers the impact of local and national debates about slavery and abolition in Birmingham in the United Kingdom, highlighting the significance of memorialised representations of Joseph Sturge, a leader of nineteenth-century emancipation campaigns. By addressing the complex diasporic cultural heritages that co-exist in the West Midlands today, it argues how urban industrial sites such as Birmingham are often unfairly neglected in a…
Le modèle de l’école unique, l’égalité et la chouette de Minerve
Cet article analyse, aux côtés de facteurs contextuels externes, le rôle joué, dans la formation des inégalités de performances scolaires, par les caractéristiques des systèmes éducatifs (école unique ou filières, classes de niveau, libre choix de l’école). Pour chaque pays, les inégalités scolaires sont mesurées à la fois par la dispersion des scores individuels des élèves de 15 ans testés dans le cadre de l’enquête PISA 2006 et par le gradient …
Globalisation and the changing nature of the state in East Asia
Economic globalisation is the defining characteristic of our age and a process which is transforming the parameters of the national state and global power relations. However, it is also a contradictory, uneven and unpredictable phenomenon. East Asia has been at the epicenter of globalisation for the past 30 years and will continue to be so with the rise of China’s economy. The region has been one of the main beneficiaries of the globalisation pro…

Models of Lifelong Learning and the ‘knowledge society’
Many of the current policy debates in Europe focus on what kind of ‘knowledge economy’ or ‘knowledge society’ would be best in the future if it is to combine both economic competitiveness and social cohesion. Should European economies move increasingly towards the so‐called Anglo‐Saxon model of flexible labour markets and high employment rates—with the increasing income inequalities that attend them—or would some new form of the European Social M…
Education, Equality and Social Cohesion
Promoting social cohesion through education has re-emerged as an important policy objective in many countries during the past decade. But there is little clarity in policy discussions about what social cohesion means and how education may affect it. In this article we distinguish between social capital and societal cohesion and argue that education acts in differential ways on each. Using comparative, cross-country analysis, we develop a 'distrib…
The many faces of lifelong learning
This article examines the rise of the discourse on lifelong learning across Europe and the variety of national policy trends which its rhetoric occludes. The ubiquitous presence of this meta-discourse in education and training policy-in-theory is seen as a singular event which can be ascribed to the impact of the variety of global forces on the education arena. It serves specific political functions in addition to signalling real changes in educa…
High Skills
Economic globalization has led to debates about competitiveness of nations. Prosperity, social justice, and welfare depend on the creation of a high-skilled workforce. This book discusses whether optimism over a future high skills economy is justified.

Education and globalization in Europe and East Asia
Education researchers have only recently begun to assess the implications of globalization theory for their work. This article examines the claims that globalization will lead to increasing convergence in education and training systems through an analysis of key areas of reform in a range of European and Asian states. The analysis highlights the common contextual factors that are shaping policy-making and suggests that whilst there is considerabl…

Postmodernism and state education
Like other Parisian theoretical exports before it, postmodernism has been relatively slow to penetrate the intellectual discourse of Anglo‐American sociology, and even slower to make its mark on the sociology of education. However, in the last five years the ideas of Jean‐François Lyotard and Jean Baudrillard have increasingly preoccupied intellectuals in the USA, and other, predominantly English‐speaking, countries. This paper offers a critique …

Converging Paths or Ships Passing in the Night? An 'English' critique of Japanese school reform
This article examines the origins and potential effects of the liberalising reform agenda in Japanese secondary education in the light of experiences in the UK with policies such as local school management and school choice. The analysis is based on extensive interviews conducted with Japanese policy-makers, school heads and Prefectural administrators in 1997 in Tokyo and Osaka. The research was part of a joint Anglo-Japanese study, supported by …

Education and Social Cohesion
Social Capital theory has tended to treat social cohesion as a mere aggregation of individual and community level characteristics, ignoring the long tradition of theory on social solidarity and social cohesion at the societal level. However, the key indicators of social capital ? associational membership and social trust ? do not co-vary cross nationally and societies rich in community level social capital are not always cohesive societies. Socia…

The reform of post‐16 education and training and the lessons from Europe
With the future shape of Britain's post‐16 education and training still undecided policy makers are increasingly looking abroad for new models to follow. The educational debate has become internationalized. As in the late 19th century it is the pressure of economic competition from Europe which has galvanized British interest in the relative ‘success’ of training in countries such as France and Germany. This paper examines the current use and mis…

Core Skills, Participation and Progression in Post-compulsory Education and Training in England and France
Policy-makers in both England and France have sought to increase participation and attainment in post-compulsory education and training through the creation of new vocational tracks. In both cases they have set new targets for attainment and espouse similar objectives in seeking to build a high skills workforce for the twenty-first century. However, the strategies adopted and the outcomes achieved have been quite different. This article uses a co…
