{"product_id":"the-developing-world-and-state-dave-hill-9780415957762","title":"The Developing World and State Education: Neoliberal Depredation and Egalitarian Alternatives","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeoliberalism has had a major impact on schooling and education in the Developing World, with social repercussions that have affected the salaries of teachers, the number and type of potential students, the availability of education, the cost of education, and more. This edited collection argues that the privatization of public services and the capitalization and commodification of education have resulted in the establishment of competitive markets that are marked by selection, exclusion and inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors - academics and organization\/social movement activists - examine aspects of neoliberal arguments focusing on low- and middle-income countries (including Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, China, Pakistan, India, Turkey, Burkina Faso, Mozambique and South Africa), and suggest where they fall short. Their arguments center around the assumption that education is not a commodity to be bought and sold, as education and the capitalist market hold opposing goals, motivations, methods, and standards of excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415957761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415957762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/24\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Dave Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064977240319,"sku":"9780415957762","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4404c70-120a-4c20-93c4-c09f1407ed01.jpg?v=1768672313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-developing-world-and-state-dave-hill-9780415957762","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
