The range, speed and scale of Europeanizing effects in education, and their complexity, has produced a relatively new field of study, and this book examines the rise of international and transnational policy and flows of data and people around Europe. It uses scholarship and research drawn from sociology, politics and education in the study of Europeanizing processes or situations in education.
