Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on scholarly expertise across the former Soviet Union to provide a comparative analysis of the policies and practices that are discussed within the context of global reform of teacher education. Divided in three parts, chapters of this book discuss the context behind economic and political reform across the former Soviet Union, and the resulting change that has occurred within teacher education systems within the fifteen republics that now exist in this 'post-Soviet space'. Offering a complex and nuanced account of 'vernacular globalisation', the book discusses the significant contribution that teacher education can make to the process of nation-building. In doing so, this truly international volume offers fresh insights and original perspectives on this dynamic educational landscape. Being the first comprehensive account of reforms in all fifteen nations that emerged in the Post-Soviet world, this book will be of interest to students, scholars and academics in the fields of teacher education, international and comparative education, and education policy and politics. It should also be of relevance to teacher educators and policymakers around the world more broadly.
