ABSTRACT

In order to explore the relationship between adult education and socialist ideology, the case study of Yugoslavia is taken. The distinctive and unique features of socialism in Yugoslavia are examined with respect to post-war adult education provision to further our understanding of the relationship between adult education and socialism, focusing in particular on the concept of ‘praxis’. Inevitably, such an analysis poses problems of a methodological nature, which are discussed in order to illuminate some problems of doing comparative adult education research.
