About the Book

Responding to profound social, political and technological changes, recent global trends in education have included the emergence of new forms of curriculum policy. Addressing a gap in the literature, this book investigates the ways in which curriculum policy is influenced, formulated, and enacted in a number of countries-cases in Europe.  This important collection uses the concept of 'curriculum making' as an analytical tool to explore the processes and phases of curriculum policy reform experienced across countries. Drawing first on international perspectives and then presenting a series of country case studies, written by internationally recognised curriculum specialists, the chapters explore curriculum making as an activity that occurs across multiple layers of educational systems, through a continual interplay of the global and local. Concluding with a comparative analysis of the contextual factors that shape curricular practices in different contexts, this book is a must-have resource for educational policy makers, researchers, teachers and teacher educators across the globe.

Review :
'Europe is a rich site for comparative analysis of curriculum making, and this book provides a new perspective and a wealth of studies on different actors and influences. It is a prime resource for students of curriculum.' 'This is one of the most interesting and important books on curriculum for a very long time. The editors have drawn together an international group of highly regarded teachers and academics to produce well-written and insightful case studies of curricular reform in nine European countries. This book provides a rationale, an incentive, and evidence (negative and positive) for doing things better. It should be read by actors at all levels in education systems.' 'With its implications for policy and practice that go beyond traditional rigid educational policy texts, this book is essential reading for higher education students pursuing educational doctorates. The chapters offer a powerful corrective that empowers teacher and schools alike with making curriculum relevant to the experiences of students, and point our attention to translational and transactive processes that are otherwise ignored not only in educational policy literature, but in educator discourse. This book does a great service in (re)inscribing curriculum as a truly dynamic process in accessible language. As a curricularist who engages with education policy, I believe this work provides valuable theoretical and research material detail. For those who are interested in thinking the curriculum anew, I suggest that Curriculum Making in Europe be placed be at the top of the reading list.'
