{"product_id":"credential-market-quentin-maire-9783030801687","title":"Credential Market: Mass Schooling, Academic Power and the International Baccalaureate Diploma","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book makes an original contribution to credential sociology by analysing how high school certificates become and remain valuable in a context of mass high school participation (i.e. credentialism). Building on a detailed analysis of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, a senior secondary school certificate offered in over 150 countries, Quentin Maire argues that the advent of new private credentials can be understood as a phenomenon of credential stratification in a context of intensified academic competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing original data on high school credentials in Australia and internationally, the author makes a strong case for certificates to be studied relationally, by locating them in the credentialing structures in which they are inserted. He systematically applies the comparative method to explain the role of the curriculum, family resources, school segregation and higher education selection in creating a credential hierarchy. His robust combination of theoretical construction and detailed empirical work allows him to offer new insights into social inequality in education systems, credential theory and the IB Diploma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Quentin Maire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030801683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030801687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 8.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Quentin Maire","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44364957548799,"sku":"9783030801687","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f0b68b7-77e2-4784-8ced-5679e3e45587.jpg?v=1697055818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/credential-market-quentin-maire-9783030801687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
