This edited volume reflects on how the "e;transnational"e; features in education as well as policies and practices are conceived of as mobile and connected beyond the local. Like "e;globalization,"e; the "e;transnational"e; is much more than a static reality of the modern world; it has become a mode of observation and self-reflection that informs education research, history, and policy in many world regions. This book examines the sociocultural project that the "e;transnational turn"e; evident in historical scholarship of the last few decades represents, and how a "e;transnational history"e; shapes how historians construct their objects of study. It does so from a multinational perspective, yet with a view of the different layers of historical meanings associated with the concept of the transnational.
