Tasks for Comparative Education in the New Millennium
This article reflects upon the experience of teaching and research in comparative education to reconsider the potential of the field for the new millennium. In doing this, specific attention is given to ways in which comparative perspectives have traditionally been applied, or misapplied, in educational policy debates and the related academic literature. The potential of comparative studies to increase our understanding of the complexities of edu…
Intercultural Perspective and Knowledge for Equity in the Mercosul Countries
This article discusses the extent to which the tension between globalized moves towards market-oriented educational policies and the pressing need to respond to cultural diversity and inequality surfaces in the way knowledge is viewed in the educational policies of the recently created Mercosul block. In a critical intercultural theoretical framework, it explores the local context of sociocultural inequality and considers limits and potentials fo…
Some Problems of Identity and Education
This article considers the education of minorities and offers the concept of markers of identity; currently the most notable are nationality and citizenship but these may change, particularly during periods of crisis. Cultures can use minimal markers. Individuals may switch cultures and adopt conspicuous characteristics as a symbol, but culture switching may be incomplete and many are intermediates or have multiple identity. A plural society can …
Language, Culture, and the Curriculum Among European Minority and Peripheral Peoples
1.1. One of the problems facing European integration is that some of the European peoples who have long been dominant in their own nation-states are having to get used to the fact that they are now minorities themselves within the larger Community.

Others, like the Spanish (or at any rate the Castilians) realize that they have li…

The Education of Minority and Peripheral Cultures
One of problems of dealing with minority and peripheral cultures is one of viewpoint: one culture's periphery can be another's centre. The tale is told of a minister on Isle of Skye, off west coast of Scotland, who regularly prayed for divine blessing on the people of our isle, not forgetting also people of neighbouring islands of Raasay, Lewis and Harris, Uist and Barra, Britain and Ireland. He was not joking-Calvinist ministers do not joke with…

Educational Policy and Cultural Pluralism
A common complaint about much of what is done under the name of comparative education is that it is merely the study of national systems, and has not managed to proceed from the level of 'natural history' to that of proper scientific analysis and the formulation of verifiable laws. There is some force in this; the limitations of the national system as a unit of study have been increasingly apparent for some years, and it is perhaps unsurprising t…
