Education, Markets and the Contradictions of Asia-Australia Relations.

Alexander, Don; Rizvi, Fazal

Australian Universities' Review, v36 n2 p16-20 1993

The cultural politics of the export of educational services by Australia to Asia are examined, focusing on tension between the persistent economic development perspective and an emerging market ideology that sees education as a commodity. Issues of postcolonialism, globalization, educational traditions vs. market orientation, educational aid and trade are examined. (MSE)
