With a focus on lifelong learning, this book examines the shifts that UNESCO's educational
concepts have undergone in reaction to historical pressures and dilemmas since the
founding of the organization in 1945. The tensions between UNESCO's humanistic worldview
and the pressures placed on the organization have forced UNESCO to depart from its
utopian vision of lifelong learning, while still claiming continuity. Elfert interprets
the history of lifelong learning in UNESCO as part of a much bigger story of a struggle
of ideologies between a humanistic-emancipatory and an economistic-technocratic worldview.
With a close study of UNESCO's two education flagship reports, the Faure and Delors
reports, Elfert sheds light on the global impact of UNESCO's professed humanistic
goals and its shifting influence on lifelong learning around the world
