Books in the Studies in European Education series

The range, speed and scale of Europeanizing effects in education, and their complexity, has produced a relatively new field of study, and this book examines the rise of international and transnational policy and flows of data and people around Europe. It uses scholarship and research drawn from sociology, politics and education in the study of Europeanizing processes or situations in education.

A European Politics of Education proposes a sociology of education establishing connections between empirical data coming from European-scale comparative surveys, normative assumptions structuring actors¿ representations and interpretative judgements, and a specific focus on Lifelong Learning policy areas. It invites readers to think about the place of standards, expertise and calculations in the European space from a common perspective, supported by a tradition of critical sociology and European political studies.
