In this book, authors showcase the worldwide spread of Workers' Faculties as an example
of both cooperation between socialist countries in education, and globalization processes
in the field of education. Based on extensive research carried out in Cuban, German,
Mozambican, and Vietnamese archives as well as expert interviews, it combines detailed
case studies of educational transfers and policy implementation with a discussion
of theoretical approaches to the study of globalization in and of education.Research
on Workers' Faculties provides an especially interesting example for the study of
educational transfer between socialist countries as well as for the interplay of such
transfers with processes of globalisation for two reasons. On one hand, the first
Workers' Faculties were established already shortly after the October Revolution in
Russia, and Workers' Faculties continue to exist in Cuba until today. A study of these
institutions therefore provides a dynamic perspective covering the whole period of
the existence of the socialist camp. On the other hand, the spread of the Workers'
Faculty idea to four continents allows for an analysis that takes into account widely
differing local contexts.This book offers an analysis of general trends and particularities
in the history of the global spread of the Workers' Faculty idea and its implementation
in local contexts. Finally, it discusses the results with a view towards theories
of globalization in the field of education as well as of specificities of processes
of "socialist globalization"
