Scrutinising the Nordic Dimension in Education : Myths, Realities, and Integration Efforts in Europe’s Nordic Region, Hardback Book

Scrutinising the Nordic Dimension in Education : Myths, Realities, and Integration Efforts in Europe’s Nordic Region Hardback

Edited by John Benedicto (Aarhus University, Denmark) Krejsler

Part of the Routledge Research in International and Comparative Education series

Hardback

Description

This edited volume scrutinises the Nordic dimension within education and how this notion affects, frames and sets direction for school and education in policy, practice and educational research. The book interrogates what unites and divides Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, and analyses how the notion of the Nordic dimension has become conceptualized and institutionalized in different educational settings.

Comparative studies of national education policies and practice across these five small North European countries - and Scotland as a case beyond - explore how the Nordic dimension relates to national, regional and transnational collaborations.

Further, the book queries the degree to which what are typically considered Nordic approaches to social welfare, gender equality, diversity and international outlook have, in actual fact, affected education.

Ultimately, the book explores the realities and myths associated with the idea of the Nordic dimension, and in relation to the wider context of integration within the European region. The book will be of interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduate students working in international and comparative education; education policy and politics; teaching and learning; and in European Cultural Studies.
