ABSTRACT
At the outset of what has been called the ‘Global Century’ there is much evidence of a revitalisation of the field of comparative and international education that few would have envisaged even a decade ago. The impact and implications of intensified globalisation and rapidly changing geopolitical relations underpin much of this revitalisation, as do dramatic advances in information and communications technology, paradigmatic challenges and developments across the social sciences, and the relative ease of international travel that has come to characterise our times.
