This text calls for a broader approach to comparative educational administration: one which uses culture as the principle means of analysis. The articles collected by Allan Walker and Clive Dimmock detail the educational practices and outcomes of other systems while taking into account the mediating influence of culture. In this way, these essays stress the specific aspects of the cultures studied, and map out common ground for the study of administrators' values, beliefs, and actions.

Clive A. J. Dimmock

The contributors in this book discuss key issues facing schools and school systems from both Western and Asian cultural perspectives. In doing so, they expose both the similarities and differences (convergence and divergence) of school leadership in the two regions. A number of themes that are currently "hot" policy issues run through the book, including school performance, school effectivenesss, leadership, and management; school design, improvement, and change; and the globalization and internationalization of policies and policy reforms.
