- Description
- Why a special issue on education in socialism, or education for socialism, in 2013, as we fast approach the 25th anniversary of the collapse of historical socialism in Eastern Europe, and witness the ongoing rise of China driven by its model of capitalist growth overseen by the Communist Party of China (CPC)? Many would argue that we ought to concede that ideas of socialism, or communism, have been definitively relegated to nothing more than objects of historical study. Perhaps historical socialism is worthy of study but only to investigate and further understand its historical legacy on the present, or to pursue alternative historiographies interpreting the past. Surely, socialism holds little salience for current and future policy, thinking and action/practice. These sorts of responses are, we are sure, likely to be widespread within educational communities, and in broad fields of study like comparative and international education, just as they are in broader societies.
