Using eduscapes as its most important concept, this book explores the educational landscapes of individual as well as institutional actors; particularly the agential aspects of how global eduscapes are imagined, experienced, negotiated and constructed. In addition, the authors highlight the critical potential of anthropology, using this perspective as a resource for cultural critique where the Western experience and assumed ‘ownership’ of the global knowledge economy will be put into question. This comprehensive book will appeal to students and scholars of educational policy, the sociology of education and the globalization of education.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePer-Anders Forstorp\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in Culture and Media Production at the Department for Studies of Social Change and Culture at Linköping University, Sweden.
