In recent years, there has been a growing focus on the international and transnational dimensions of school and higher education curricula, and the diverse research approaches and lenses employed to study these issues. This edited volume presents a collection of diverse perspectives and discourses on curriculum studies contributed by scholars from both within and outside the majority world. Additionally, it explores both transnational cross-border endeavors involving national governments and policy measures, as well as the promises, challenges, and shortcomings of those formal relationships.

The book is organized into three sections. The first section provides an introduction and overviews of transnational education in relation to curriculum studies, schooling, and higher education. The second section delves into transnational and international perspectives on curriculum studies, schooling, and education. The final section highlights transnational and international perspectives on higher education.

This timely volume addresses the questions frequently raised by curriculum scholars and educational researchers regarding the feasibility of a transnational approach to curriculum studies and the potential for a common set of means to transcend national boundaries and sensitivities. It examines the common issues and problems across nations that international and transnational curriculum and educational research can address.

This volume will appeal to researchers and policy makers interested in transnational education and curriculum studies.
