Comparative Education is a peer-reviewed journal founded in 1964. The Journal normally publishes two open and two special issues per year.
The journal publishes articles which are situated in comparative education as a field of inquiry and it plays a leading role in the debates in that field. It provides rigorous analyses of educational phenomena, policies and developments that are of theoretical and practical importance. There is an expectation that articles adopt a comparative perspective, broadly defined. This does not require they directly compare aspects of education in two nations/regions but it does expect that an analysis of one setting is connected to a broader literature on patterns elsewhere, global trends or core themes in comparative education (e.g. transfer, convergence, global governance).We are particularly interested in studies investigating the interplay of global, cross-national and domestic forces in the shaping of educational ideologies, educational systems, educated identities and curricula, and patterns of teaching and learning.
Submissions of original manuscripts are welcomed from scholars engaged in high quality comparative research in all fields, including interdisciplinary studies, and from all paradigmatic perspectives in the social and human sciences. Contributors are expected, where appropriate, to engage with and build upon the existing body of scholarship published in the Journal and other significant texts in the field.

Special Issues:
We welcome proposals for special Issues (SI) that involve a thematic collection of articles which focus on a topic relevant to the journal’s aims and scope. Each SI is initially the responsibility of the guest editor(s) who will recruit and liaise with the contributing authors and be responsible for delivery of the issue in the timescale agreed. A SI normally consists of seven articles of about 9,000 words each; variants on that are possible. Detailed guidance on submitting proposals for special issues is provided in the ‘
