Book Description
This book offers a geographically unique cultural comparative lens to examine the issue of transnational curriculum knowledge (re)production. Prompted by the ongoing competency-based curriculum reforms on a global scale, this book examines where global frameworks like the OECD’s core competency definitions are rooted and how they are borrowed, resisted, and/or re-contextualized in various European states with a Christian, foremost Protestant educational–cultural heritage and Asian countries with a Confucian educational–cultural heritage. It highlights the roles that various factors, such as history, culture, religious attitudes, ideology, and state governance play in nation-states’ re-contextualization of global curriculum policies and practices beyond a simplistic and dualistic globalism/power and nationalism/resistance dynamic. In doing so, it provides a global context to better understand individual nation-state’s continuing curriculum reforms and school practices. At the same time, it situates individual nation-state’s latest curriculum reforms and practices within an international community for healthy dialogues and mutual sharing. By selecting two educational–cultural systems and wisdom—Christian-Protestant and Confucian—it also offers a springboard for international curriculum studies beyond the usual confinement of geopolitical nation-state constructs. It not only sheds new light on each nation-state’s curriculum policies and practices, but also creates new collaboration spaces within similar and across disparate cultural–educational regions. With its wide geopolitical and educational–cultural scope, this book appeals to a global market and can be used in a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses in comparative education, history of education, curriculum theory, school and society, and curriculum history.

Book Description
This research focuses on the relationship between ideological views and regional integration within the Association of South-East Asian Nations and its member states. The ASEAN bloc is of particular interest largely because it has become a force to recognise after the European Union as one of the powerful and effective regional institutions in the 21st century. This research utilised a mixed-method research methodology approach. It has been discussed in this research that ASEAN has been successful on the economic pillar compared to the political and social structures. Although colonialism and imperialism had devastating effects on ASEAN like in any other formerly colonised regions it has been identified that it is modern ASEAN's drive and adaptability that has inspired the top six performing states in ASEAN to be forces to recognise as well. The top-performing economies include Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam whose economic miracle and progressive drive has shocked the world just like the German and Japanese economic miracles during the 20th century after the Second World War. It is also important to take note that belonging to a highly successful regional organisation does not mean economic development for a member state unless effective steps to eliminate corruption and promote transparency have been put in place side by side with a progressive and effective economic development master plan. Effective legal, political, social and economic institutions at national and local levels among a bloc's party states result in a spillover effect that positively affects regional development and integration as well. Based on the statistics up until 2020 the South East Asian states of Brunei, Cambodia, Laos PDR and Myanmar need to come up with more pragmatic policies so that they too experience the Midas Touch their fellow Asians have experienced. Whilst natural resources are important for a state they must not be the primary foundation that determines a state's success but instead progressive and effective institutional frameworks. It is therefore the main argument of this research that culture influences development to a great extent. The research uses the Liberalism theory as far as institutionalism is concerned. Indeed the Pygmalion effect is a reality as can be seen in the continuous rise of the top six performing nations who have brought their ideals in running the ASEAN bloc to be a top contender ranked in the top ten (10) trillion economies in the same ranks of China, Japan, France, Germany and USA. In this research, it is largely recommended that ASEAN unite in dealing with the great powers and that effective action be taken for party states to have common values and ideals.Overview1 - The Origins and History of the Association of South-East Asian Nations (20th and 21st Century)2 - Functions, Duties and the Effectiveness of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Bloc3 - The Colonial Legacy, Globalisation and Liberalism on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations's Development4 - The Association of Southeast Asian Nations's International Relations 5 - Regional Ideologies Promoting Development: The Concepts of ASEAN Identity and the ASEAN Way6 - Challenges and Threats faced in ASEAN's Quest for Development and Advancement in International Affairs

This important new text examines the crucial social and cultural factors associated with the rise of the Asia- Pacific region at the end of the Twentieth Century. It takes a close look at those areas which have affected the everyday life of the people most directly. These include: * the family * gender relations and the position of women * religion * the arts, with specific reference to film * ethnic relations and population migration * education, and the images of the Asia-Pacific. The authors discuss real tensions between tradition and modernity in different nations of the Asia-Pacific, exploring the effects that economic growth has on powerful traditional cultures.
