«A cutting-edge effort on the part of its editor and authors. Any social studies educator, or any advanced graduate student, owes [it] to themselves to read this book and reflect on it for an informed perspective on twenty-first century education. Bravo!» (Anna S. Ochoa-Becker, Professor Emeritá, School of Education, Indiana University-Bloomington; Past President, National Council for the Social Studies)
«This book is a comprehensive treatment of the state of the art of global education and will serve as an excellent starting point for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers working in the field today. Past and current leaders in global education present case studies, syntheses of scholarship, and their visions for needed practice, research, and theory in the future.» (Carole L. Hahn, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Educational Studies, Emory University)

«This is an important and timely contribution to the urgent debate on appropriate education for present and future global citizens. The potential of global education for the creation of more just, peaceful, and
