Globalization has encouraged worldwide mobility, intensified migration and supported growing interconnectedness through new technologies; it has therefore substantially contributed to the development of so-called transnational spaces. This volume focuses on transnational spaces which should not be understood as locations on a map or as sealed containers, but instead as relational social areas which are composed of various relationships. Transnationalization increases liberation and/or emancipation from place because social relations overcome physical space and local, regional and national boundaries. As a consequence, a reconfiguration of social, cultural, political and economic scopes of action occurs. This volume reveals that for people in general and for migration movements in particular, new borders have been established in many places all over the world. The biographies of global actors and migrants reference this alteration of space. Additionally this volume calls special attention to border regions and their social configurations. Borders appear as narratives which can have an enormous impact on social structures. This book further deals with different aspects and various tensions having to do with local and global change, interplay and interdependence. Globalization leads to development that often ignores regional needs, supports the continuation of post-colonial power and maintains hegemonic dominance.

This book explores the traces of the passage of time on the protracted and intractable conflict of Western Sahara. The authors offer a multilevel analysis of recent developments from the global to the local scenes, including the collapse of the architecture of the UN-led conflict resolution process, the advent of the War on Terror to the the Sahara-Sahel area and the impact of the ‘Arab Spring’ and growing regional security instability. Special attention is devoted to changes in the Western Sahara territory annexed by Morocco and the Sahrawi refugee camps in Algeria. Morocco has adapted its governance and public policies to profound socio-demographic transformations in the territory under its control and has attempted to obtain international recognition for this annexation by proposing an Autonomy Plan. The Polisario Front and Sahrawi nationalists have shifted their strategy and pushed the centre of gravity of the conflict back inwards by focusing on pro-independence activism inside the disputed territory.

This book addresses the intersections of globalization, policy borrowing, and educational reform. Drawing upon multiple disciplines, it provides a comprehensive overview of globalization’s history, processes, theories, and trends, both generally and in education specifically. The book includes an in-depth discussion of policy borrowing, emphasizing its political nature, to provide an understanding of globalization’s impact on education. Portnoi interrogates the dominance of the Global North and the influence of the global governance organizations that serve as the core of the aid and development regime. Using a critical perspective, Portnoi emphasizes the manner in which local agents intervene to mediate the forces of globalization. The book provides a comprehensive foundation for students and scholars of comparative education and associated disciplines, including social foundations, educational policy, teacher education, higher education, globalization studies, sociology of education, and policy studies.

This book offers the first full-length study of the education of children living within the Gaeltacht, the Irish-speaking communities in Ireland, from 1900 to the present day. While Irish was once the most common language spoken in Ireland, by 1900 the areas in which native speakers of Irish were located contracted to such an extent that they became clearly identifiable from the majority English-speaking parts. In the mid-1920s, the new Irish Free State outlined the broad parameters of the boundaries of these areas under the title of ‘the Gaeltacht’. This book is concerned with the schooling of children there. The Irish Free State, from its establishment in 1922, eulogized the people of the Gaeltacht, maintaining they were pious, heroic and holders of the characteristics of an invented ancient Irish race. Simultaneously, successive governments did very little to try to regenerate the Gaeltacht or to ensure Gaeltacht children would enjoy equality of education opportunity. Furthermore, children in the Gaeltacht had to follow the same primary school curriculum as was prescribed for the majority English speaking population. The central theme elaborated on throughout the book is that this schooling was one of a number of forces that served to maintain the people of the Gaeltacht in a marginalized position in Irish society.

This book examines how educators internationally can better understand the role of education as a public good designed to nurture peace, tolerance, sustainable livelihoods and human fulfilment. Bringing together empirical and theoretical perspectives, this insightful text develops new understandings of education for sustainable development and global citizenship (ESD/GC) and illustrates how these might impact on educational research, policy and practice. The text recognizes the ESD/GC as pivotal to the universal ambitions of UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals, and focuses on the role of teachers and teacher educators in delivering the appropriate educational response to promote equity and sustainability. Chapters explore factors including curriculum design, values and assessment in teacher education, and consider how each and every learner can be guaranteed an understanding of their role in promoting a just and sustainable global society. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers, school leaders, practitioners, policy makers and students in the fields of education, teacher education and sustainability.

The image we have of refugees is one of displacement – from their homes, families and countries – and yet, refugee settlement is increasingly becoming an experience of living simultaneously in places both proximate and distant, as people navigate and transcend international borders in numerous and novel ways. At the same time, border regimes remain central in defining the possibilities and constraints of meaningful settlement. This book examines the implications of ‘belonging’ in numerous places as increased mobilities and digital access create new global connectedness in uneven and unexpected ways. Belonging and Transnational Refugee Settlement positions refugee settlement as an ongoing transnational experience and identifies the importance of multiple belongings through several case studies based on original research in Australia and New Zealand, as well as at sites in the US, Canada and the UK. Demonstrating the interplay between everyday and extraordinary experiences and broadening the dominant refugee discourses, this book critiques the notion that meaningful settlement necessarily occurs in ‘local’ places. The author focuses on the extraordinary events of trauma and disasters alongside the everyday lives of refugees undertaking settlement, to provide a conceptual framework that embraces and honours the complexities of working with the ‘trauma story’ and identifies approaches to see beyond it. This book will appeal to those with an interest in migration and diaspora studies, human geography and sociology.

Transnationale Bezüge nehmen in einer globalisierten und in weiten Bereichen von Gesellschaft, Ökonomie, Kultur und Politik stark vernetzten Welt an Bedeutung zu. Sie prägen Lebenswelten, soziale Bindungen, Identitäten sowie Handlungsweisen von Individuen, Haushalten, Familien und sozialen Gruppen ebenso wie von Akteuren wirtschaftlicher, politischer oder zivilgesellschaftlicher Institutionen. Im Fokus dieses Bandes stehen die sich über nationalstaatliche Grenzen hinweg durch Migrationsprozesse, erwerbsarbeitsbedingtes Pendlern, Konsumverhalten oder Freizeit- und Kulturaktivitäten neu konstituierenden transnationalen bzw. translokalen Räume. Translokalität als Ansatz betont dabei die Kopräsenz von Personen an mehreren Orten und thematisiert die räumlich verknüpften Zusammenhänge, die unabhängig von nationalstaatlich begründeten Abgrenzungen Orte miteinander in Beziehung setzen. Dieser Thematik wird in empirischen Untersuchungen zu Migrantengruppen und Minderheiten in Deutschland, England, Frankreich, Rumänien und Algerien ebenso wie zum Zusammenleben im deutsch-polnischen Grenzland nachgegangen.

Systems of innovation that are conducted within national borders can preserve inefficient solutions and prevent development. This has led to a feeling that transnational learning strategies are more and more desirable. In practice, the field of transnational learning has been dominated by various policy-making institutions, such as the OECD and European Union, working through different types of policy instruments and programs such as structural funds, open methods of coordination, as well as international research institutions and networks set up by cooperating national governments working on comparative analysis, benchmarking and indicators. This book lays out a set of methods which can further enhance the experience of transnational learning, starting from the sociological ideas promoted by Charles Sabel of learning through monitoring, and by Marie Laure Djelic and others of the “translation” of experiences between different countries. Case studies and examples are collected from three fields: industrial development, tourism and local government.

Lernendenzentrierung und Kompetenzorientierung haben an Hochschulen längst Einzug gehalten. Forschungs- und Reflexionsbedarf besteht jedoch hinsichtlich der praktischen Konsequenzen, die sich daraus ergeben. Welche Kompetenzen sind nötig, um lernendenzentrierte und kompetenzorientierte Lehre umsetzen zu können? Geht mit dem Wandel universitärer Bildungskonzepte eine Änderung des Lehrendenbildes einher? Welche Herausforderungen sind in der universitären Weiterbildung zu lokalisieren? In diesem Sinne richten die AutorInnen dieser Publikation den Blick auf die Entwicklung der Kompetenzen von Lehrenden. Präsentiert, diskutiert und reflektiert werden insbesondere theoretisch-wissenschaftliche Konzepte zu Themen der Hochschuldidaktik, des Bildungs- und Ressourcenmanagements, der Sprachlernforschung sowie der Sprachendidaktik. Learner-centred and competence-oriented approaches have long since made their way into institutions of higher learning. There is however still a need for research on the practical consequences. What competences are necessary to be able to implement learner-centred and competence-oriented teaching? Does the change in academic concepts of education lead us to a new understanding of teachers and the role they play? What challenges does academic continuing education face? With this in mind, the authors turn their attention to the development of teacher competences. They present, discuss and reflect in particular on theoretical and academic concepts on topics concerning university didactics, education and resource management, research on language learning and language teaching.
