As global economic and social crises deepened over the last decade, their acknowledgement has influenced adult education and lifelong learning policies by international organisations. The associations between international organisations, the making of adult education policy, and the ‘common good’ that frame this special issue were one of a few cross-cutting matters of concern, which emerged from insightful discussions held at the international conference: ‘Equity, Social Justice and Adult Education and Learning Policy’ (8–10 June 2017, Verona, Italy), organised by the Network on Policy Studies in Adult Education (operating within the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults, ESREA). Across a number of parallel and plenary sessions, conference participants explored and debated at length, how far adult education and learning policy support or hamper the conditions for a fair redistribution of resources and the full recognition of rights – given cultural, ethno-racial, linguistic, religious and sexual diversity in society. A selection of contributions first presented at the Verona conference is brought together in this Special Issue.

成人教育研究

随着近十年来全球经济和社会危机的加深，对危机的认识已影响到国际组织的成人教育和终身学习政策。国际组织之间的联系，成人教育政策的制定以及构成这一特殊问题的“共同利益”，是在国际会议上进行的有见地的讨论中出现的几个跨领域关注问题之一：“平等，社会正义与成人教育与学习政策”（2017年6月8日至10日，意大利维罗纳），由成人教育政策研究网络组织（在欧洲成人教育研究协会（ESREA）内部开展）。在许多平行和全体会议上，会议参与者进行了详尽的探讨和辩论，鉴于社会中的文化，民族，种族，语言，宗教和性别多样性，成人教育和学习政策在多大程度上支持或妨碍了公平地重新分配资源和充分承认权利的条件。在本期特刊中，汇集了维罗纳会议上首次提出的一些建议。
