Internationalization and Global Citizenship: Policy and Practice in Education

This book examines the integration of the international, global, and intercultural dimensions in contemporary education systems. Yemini provides a comprehensive understanding of the process of internationalization from different angles including policy-making, curriculum implementation, media discourse, and individual agency. The book illuminates and analyzes a set of key tensions of internationalization across multiple levels of schooling and across the domains of popular discourse, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, and students' identity, by connecting or re-connecting the process of internationalization and its outcomes at individual level of global citizenship. The author uses solid empirical embedding of each of those aspects together with development of novel theoretical insights in each of the investigated domains. Miri Yemini is Lecturer at the Constantiner School of Education at Tel Aviv University, Israel. Her research interests include entrepreneurship in education, globalization and internationalization in education, and project management in education systems.
