Globalisation, Human Rights and Education cover

This book analyses major discourses of human rights and education. It examines critically major issues confronting human rights and education, both locally and globally. The various chapters analyze the challenges that different societies are faced with, as they attempt to implement, protect and defend democracy, cultural diversity and human rights in schools. 

The book helps readers to explore their own views and consider more broadly what may be in the best interests of a fair and just society, as envisioned in human rights treaties, human rights education in schools, and cultural diversity.

“This book is a significant and timely contribution to the fields of comparative education and HRE. The volume deepens our understanding of how educational systems can reproduce and resist social injustice by centring critical perspective and diverse voices. It is a must-read for scholars, educators and policy-makers committed to building more inclusive and rights-based approaches to education in an era of global uncertainty.” (Lingshan Liu and Jing Zhao, International Review of Education, Vol. 72 (4), 2026)
