Reviews
“This book will become an essential resource for anyone interested in education governance. By drawing on a wide range of global examples, the author provides an in-depth and timely discussion around the idea of education as a public good.” (Rille Raaper, Durham University, UK)
“While much has been written on the growing global trend towards privatization, this book rightly situates a critique of that trend within a broader examination of the public and the common good. As is appropriate, confronting efforts to privatize education should be met with a consideration of the implications for the common good and, thankfully, Locatelli provides us with the necessary language, understanding, and global contextualization that is much needed towards those efforts.” (T. Jameson Brewer, University of North Georgia, USA)
