ROBERTSON, Susan  e  DALE, Roger. Comparing Policies in a Globalizing World: methodological reflections. Educ. Real. [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.3, pp.859-876. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-623670056.

This paper explores the methodological challenges in comparing education policies in a globalizing world. It will be developed in the following ways. We begin with sketching out the contours of the changes that have taken place in the governance of education systems as a result of global processes and the challenges to presents us with regarding how we study, and compare, education policies. We do this by way of four ‘isms’ which we problematise as litmusses of global educational change. We then raise the question of comparison, and point to two conflicting ways that it can be used in studying education policy. In the final section of the paper we offer three (not exhaustive) methodological reflections - each with a different dimension through which to explore global education processes - time, space, and logics of governing in education policymaking.
