Book Description
This book brings together internationally prominent scholars renowned for their work on post-Soviet republics, as well as outstanding emerging scholars native of Central Asia in order to discuss the state of education in the Central Asian Republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Drawing on their individual contexts and research, the authors offer analyses and critiques of some of the social, political, and economic issues in education in their respective countries, and some insights about how local actions engage with the challenges and problems, as well as with the possibilities and opportunities they face. Since gaining their independence in 1991, the five republics of Central Asia have been undergoing some enormous political, social, linguistic, cultural, and economic changes, even as we write. This collection shows that researchers are increasingly interested in exploring the development of education in this part of the world. In these countries, education plays a significant role in transitioning from centrally planned to market economies and is seen as the key resource to facilitate entry into the global competitiveness sphere. This book will be of particular interest to educators, researchers, and policy makers engaged in research or with a particular interest in curricula, and education systems and reforms, and to undergraduate and graduate students studying and researching education in Central Asia or in other post-Soviet contexts.

Book Description
There may only be one-way traffic on the old silk road when it comes to ideas about education policy transformation; this has not helped avoid a huge ideological pile up. Silova's exploration reveals how oversold and oversimplified Western policy ideas collide with inertia in education systems in post-Soviet Central Asia. What matters is not the ideological disparities between East and West but when and how these collude to redefine the boundaries for education exclusion and education privilege in Central Asia. Globalization on the Margins helps us to better understand this collision and this convergence, hitchhikers on that road will do well to take along some reading.--Hugh McLean, Director.

Book Description
This book casts a refreshingly new light on current literature on school leadership, which has predominantly been viewed through Western lenses. Accordingly, key concepts and theories on leadership and school leadership have primarily been generated from thinking and research in the Western sphere. This is problematic, considering the fact that the leadership concept or construct, and its practices, are significantly influenced and shaped by contexts, and even situations. However, there are various contextual conditions and forces that can separately or collectively affect how school leadership is understood and practiced, including social, cultural, historical, geographical, economic and political conditions. In response, the book seeks to provide readers a better awareness of how the leadership construct or phenomenon is shaped by the varying contexts constantly affecting school leadership, while specifically focusing on the Asia Pacific region. In turn, it highlights various Asia Pacific contexts that shape school leadership, so as to ‘speak back’ to existing theories on school leadership.

Book Description
This book is about the practices of leading and their arrangements in a range of contemporary educational contexts. It seeks to shift the traditional, individual, and role-based educational leadership narrative, to more transformational, shared, and ongoing practices between people, thereby decentring leadership. In this volume, contributors consider leading from a practice perspective across a range of educational contexts. Focusing on leading, rather than leadership, they examine how educational leaders lead through decentring from a range of positions and across a range of educational sectors from schools to higher education. Chapters attend to the practices of leading to ‘decentre’ normative, traditional notions of leadership that focus on the individual leader as the unit of study. They draw on the theory of practice architectures to understand leading as a shared and ongoing process rather than as an individual act. This growing body of work that uses the theory of practice architectures (TPA) is disrupting people’s thinking towards leading as a practice. Focusing on practices and their arrangements shifts the traditional, role-based educational leadership narrative to the more transformational elements of practice architectures in thinking about leading in contemporary contexts. Decentring Leadership will be a key resource for practitioners and researchers of education leadership and policy, educational administration, educational research, educational studies and sociology. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Educational Administration and History.

Book Description
The Asia-Pacific region has rich and unique traditions, cultural diversity and common as well as unique challenges, including obstacles of language and geographical separation. As home to over 60 per cent of the world's population, this region has a diverse range of educational issues, which have not as yet been fully explored. This ground-breaking volume considers current perspectives on educational diversity, challenges and changes occurring across a number of countries in the region and provides a closer look at these complexities. Focus has been given to the influence and impact that these complexities are having on policy and practice in leadership, governance and administration structures. Who has been given the agency? What kinds of power currents are in play? What are the hidden political enablers and disablers in these narratives? The authors of chapters in this series have presented some solid examples of what is currently happening, the discourse that is emerging around it, the effects of these changes and their impact within the region. While some of these narratives are a synthesis of literature and policy, other chapters have focused on findings from empirical studies being conducted in this space. As a timely collection of works from active researchers in Education, the book supports and encourages the importance of on-going educational research within the Asia-Pacific region The findings in this book have been drawn from original and current research which is anticipated as being a valuable academic reference as well as a teaching resource in the field of Education. This volume will be beneficial to students and academics of Education around the world as well as a useful reference to educational academics, researchers, policy-makers and administrators across the Asia-Pacific region.The Asia-Pacific region has rich and unique traditions, cultural diversity and common as well as unique challenges, including obstacles of language and geographical separation.
