Description: "The treaty signed in Maastricht in 1992 made education a jurisdiction of the European Union, albeit one under the principle of subsidiarity. This development has opened up a series of educational challenges for the EU and its member states which require critical assessment. This book aims to provide a wide ranging analysis of these challenges from an international group of specialists in the fields of educational theory, philosophy of education, politics of education, comparative education and gender equal opportunities. The book focuses particularly on pedagogic issues. It is essential reading for those engaged in educational research, for students of education, for those working with European Union Institutions and for the general public."--Jacket.
