Abstract

In this essay we develop the concept of ‘cosmopolitan nationalism’, offering a working definition and suggesting ways sociologists of education might draw on it in their future work. We show how it is a useful analytical lens through which to examine contemporary policies and practices that navigate global processes (ranking systems, mobility of people, expectations for futures) but also take account of nationalistic tendencies, as well as local and national attempts to challenge persistent inequalities within education systems. By using policy examples from three countries (South Korea, Israel and the US), we illuminate how cosmopolitan nationalism is evident across various initiatives in these countries, and the varied implications this has for education systems in terms of equality, access and quality.

摘要

在本文中，我们提出了“世界民族主义”的概念，提供了一个可行的定义，并提出了教育社会学家在未来的工作中可能会借鉴的方法。我们将展示它是一个有用的分析镜头，通过它可以考察在全球流程（等级制度，人员流动性，对未来的期望）中进行导航的当代政策和实践，同时还要考虑民族主义的倾向以及地方和国家对挑战的尝试教育系统中持续存在的不平等现象。通过使用来自三个国家（韩国，以色列和美国）的政策实例，我们阐明了世界民族主义在这些国家的各种倡议中是如何显而易见的，以及这对教育系统在平等，获取和质量方面的不同影响。
