Our theoretical and methodological strategy for this volume has proven effective as a standard textbook for introducing the field of comparative education from various theoretical and methodological perspectives.The 5th edition welcomes Lauren Misasziek of Beijing National University as co-editor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a global educational scholar primarily focused upon global literacies, I welcome this volume as I believe it represents what I view as a zeitgeist occurring in the global arena. The chapters in the volume discuss the interruptions to our worlds as a result of socio-political, health and other developments that have occurred interrogating them enlisting postcolonialism, Indigeneity, racism, gender, gender and other critical lenses. The editors enlist the notion of dialectic to portray the tensions between local, national and global events and how they fuse with or disrupt the various story lines within the field of comparative education—the nature of its science and role in educational as well as socio-political developments across the globe, nationally, regionally and locally. The fifth edition offers a multidimensional discussion of global-local transactions on a planetary scale that better fit with reading our worlds beyond what comparative education scholars have provided prior. The volume’s contributors leverage discussions of planetary significance essential to the critical literacies and reflexivity of individuals, communities and larger society. \u003c\/p\u003e -- Rob Tierney, University of British Columbia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Reframing Comparative Education: The Dialectic of the Global and the Local Robert F.
