This book presents insights within the longstanding traditions of the field. It includes a focus on intra-national and cross-national comparisons, and highlights the value of approaching themes from different angles.
At the beginning of the 21st century, new features have emerged within the field of comparative education. This book presents perspectives on these changes while noting various continuing traditions.

The World Council of Comparative Education Societies (WCCES) was established in 1970 as an umbrella body which brought together five national and regional comparative education societies. This book presents histories of the WCCES and its member societies.
