New State Formations in Education Policy: Reflections from Spain explores globalization, shifting state spaces and education in relation to a diverse set of processes including democratization, decentralization, and Europeanization. The book offers a unique perspective on education policy formation in the modern nation state, in which education policy-makers have to take into account and negotiate not only pressures related to devolution and regionalization, but also policy ideas emanating from the developing European agenda and notions circulating within the global space. In this way, education policy concepts are not only formed in relation to national-regional dynamics, but are influenced more broadly by a complex set of supranational and global considerations. While the book focuses on Spain, this study reflects the growing influence of globalization on national systems of education. The book, therefore, will be of interest to those engaged in studies of globalization and education, and those with an interest in the contemporary political, cultural, and educational context of Europe.
