Il aura été une époque où l'on analysait avec la curiosité de la découverte les caractéristiques contrastées des différents systèmes éducatifs. À plusieurs égards, cet « âge d'or » de l'éducation comparée est révolu. Depuis plus d'une décennie, nous assistons à une homogénéisation croissante des politiques d'éducation et de ses effets structurants et déterminants sur l'ensemble de l'organisation éducative. Les différentes contributions de cet ouvrage ont accordé une attention particulière aux enjeux du repérage, de la réorganisation, voire de la création de nouvelles pratiques de régulation dans la gestion de l'éducation. De fait, dans un contexte de changements multiples, l'ensemble des pratiques de pilotage s'est révélé en profonde transformation sur le plan de son organisation nationale et régionale ainsi qu'à celui de l'établissement scolaire. Nous sommes dans l'ordre d'une nouvelle gouvernance, avec ses régulations revues, où l'encadrement intermédiaire est confronté à une identité nouvelle avec ses pertes de repères d'hier tout en étant à la recherche de balises qui, pour l'instant, sont plus souvent qu'autrement en définition. Ces transformations puisent leurs sources dans de multiples facteurs qui peuvent se décliner suivant des arabesques composites façonnées par les orientations des politiques publiques valorisant l'impartition (subsidiarité), la politisation, la reddition de compte et la professionnalisation. Au sein de ce nouvel « ordre organisationnel », le travail des cadres de l'éducation est profondément transformé et invite à la consolidation et à un développement revu de leurs compétences. La politisation croissante des structures régionales et locales de l'éducation ainsi que la médiatisation accélérée des questions éducatives nécessitent de la part des cadres scolaires une maîtrise de plus en plus fine d'habiletés analytiques, réflexives et argumentatives. Le présent ouvrage constitue un éclairage sur la question.

Citizenship under Fire examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war, and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes. Perhaps the most worrisome one, Ben-Porath contends, is a growing emphasis in schools and elsewhere on social conformity, on tendentious teaching of history, and on drawing stark distinctions between them and us. As she writes, "The varying characteristics of citizenship in times of war and peace add up to a distinction between belligerent citizenship, which is typical of democracies in wartime, and the liberal democratic citizenship that is characteristic of more peaceful democracies." Ben-Porath examines how various theories of education--principally peace education, feminist education, and multicultural education--speak to the distinctive challenges of wartime. She argues that none of these theories are satisfactory on their own theoretical terms or would translate easily into practice. In the final chapter, she lays out her own alternative theory--"expansive education"--which she believes holds out more promise of widening the circles of participation in schools, extending the scope of permissible debate, and diversifying the questions asked about the opinions voiced.

Reform-minded leaders of Qatar, who have embarked on a sweeping reform of their nation's education system, asked RAND to evaluate the education finance system that has been adopted and to offer suggestions for improvements. The authors analyze the system's evolution and resource allocation patterns between 2004 and 2006 and develop analytic tools for performing the evaluation, including a framework that allows assessment of the system in light of six main objectives: adequacy, efficiency, equity, accountability, transparency, and an appropriate balance between stability and responsiveness.

This volume of "International Perspectives on Education and Society" investigates the changing face of educational leadership from comparative and international perspectives. Various definitions of leadership have transformed the way that educators around the world think about teaching, administration, and policy in recent years. Yet, there is relatively little known about how educational leadership works in many specific systems, cultures and societies around the world. And, much of the published research and literature on educational leadership focuses on only a handful of countries and cultures even though empirical research suggests that leadership is differently contextualized by society, culture, and organizational environment. The chapters in this volume ask and answer two main questions: What is the difference between theoretical definitions of leadership and what works in different systems, cultures, and societies around the world? And, more importantly, how are both ideas about and evidence of educational leadership either the same or different across different national and cultural contexts?
