This book offers both a theoretical and empirical examination of
elite education, at all stages from the early years to university
level. The book explores the various manifestations of
internationalisation of education; the implications of these for
national education systems; the formation and re-articulation of
elite forms of education locally and globally; and how these
facilitate the reproduction or disruption of processes of
inequality. The collection critically considers these
questions by drawing on contributions from around the world, and
focuses on how internationalisation processes shape the various
stages of the education system – from early years settings to
higher education – in oftentimes quite different ways. At the
same time, by engaging with the issues through a range of
theoretical lenses, the book invites readers to consider in
greater depth the various ways we can come to understand how
processes of internationalisation are both embedding but also at
times destabilising the formation and purpose of elite education
provision and potentially the configuration of elite groups
themselves. The book will be relevant to academics,
researchers, students, policymakers and educators working in or
on the field of ‘education’ across the world.
