Comparative Education

Scope

Comparative Education is an international peer-reviewed research journal which, since its inception in 1964, has significantly contributed to the growing importance of comparative perspectives in the analysis of educational issues in national, international, and global contexts at all levels/sectors. The journal engages with theoretical, conceptual and methodological debates in the broad field of comparative education. It publishes rigorous analyses of educational phenomena, policies and developments that are of theoretical and practical importance and of relevance to scholars, policy-makers and practitioners. We are particularly interested in in-depth studies investigating the interplay of international, cross-national and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, and patterns of teaching and learning. Submissions are welcomed from scholars engaged in high quality comparative research in all fields, including interdisciplinary studies, and from all paradigmatic perspectives in the social and human sciences. Contributors are expected, where appropriate, to engage with and build upon the existing body of scholarship published in the Journal and other significant texts in the field.
