McCowan and Unterhalter's compendium on the interplay between
education and international development is timely, useful and
inherently significant ... A compelling choice for student
audiences.
*Progress in Development Studies*
Comprehensive in scope, nuanced in argument, and policy astute,
Education and International Development is a timely collection of
articles exploring how education, in its many manifestations,
intersects with international development in theory, discourse and
practice. The book, written by leading scholars of education and
development, provides insightful historical and theoretical
accounts of the field before delving into an array of cross-cutting
themes and analytics issues, many of which are examined in light of
current debates and post-2015 development discourse. The book
should become a mainstay of courses in comparative and
international education, development and globalization studies,
social policy, and international organizations. It also represents
an informative and accessible text for policy analysts and
practitioners in international agencies and NGOs.

Tristan McCowan and Elaine Unterhalter have brought together an
outstanding group of scholars to examine the inextricable links
between education and development. Each chapter provides a cogent
overview of research and debates on some of the most critical
issues in the field, from education in conflict to values-based
education, while simultaneously situating these themes within the
broader contexts of colonialism and postcolonial inequalities.
Aimed at students and practitioners, this volume raises timely
questions about knowledge production and its translation in the
politically-contentious worlds of education policy and development
practice.

Leadership, Policy and Development, University of Minnesota,
USA*
In Education and International Development, Tristan McCowan and
Elaine Unterhalter have brought together a collection of essays by
a star-studded multi-disciplinary group of authors from a variety
of educational disciplines and geographic contexts. Recognising the
significance of the book’s timing on the eve of the post-2015
development agenda, the chapters present first, an insightful
multi-perspectival look into the history and development of the
field, including the theories, policies and practice, and then
weave some rigorous analyses of a range of existing and emerging
complex issues and themes in various sectors and different levels
of education. The authors and editors of Education and
International Development help the field to critically look back,
and at the same time, look forward we enter a new era in education
and develop post-2015. As someone who teaches and researches in the
field, reading through the chapters I could not help but nod in
agreement at the various insights the authors present: this is a
book many of us, including academics, professionals, national and
international development agencies and undergraduate and
postgraduate students working in the field of education and
development have been waiting for.
