Synopsis
In today's schools the number of students who receive additional resources to access the curriculum is growing rapidly, and the ongoing expansion of special education is among the most significant worldwide educational developments of the past century. Yet even among developed democracies the range of access varies hugely, from one student in twenty to one student in three. In contemporary conflicts about educational standards and accountability, special education plays a key role as it draws the boundaries between exclusion and inclusion.
Comparing Special Education unites in-depth comparative and historical studies with analyses of global trends, with a particular focus on special and inclusive education in the United States, England, France, and Germany. The authors examine the causes and consequences of various institutional and organizational developments, illustrate differences in forms of educational governance and social policy priorities, and highlight the evolution of social logics from segregation of students with special educational needs to their inclusion in local schools.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xii + 346 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited signs of gentle wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Untorn dust jacket shows short scratches and regular shelfwear. -- Based on a comprehensive cross-disciplinary, comparative, and historical inquiry, this book investigates the evolution and current paradoxes of special education systems across diverse national contexts, with the aim of uncovering how ideas, institutions, and classifications shape both educational opportunity and social stratification. Divided into three parts, it begins by tracing the origins of special education to Enlightenment-era debates on human nature, educability, and citizenship, illustrating how foundational categories of disability were formed in conjunction with emerging state responsibilities, charitable institutions, and early therapeutic pedagogies. The book then moves to a systematic comparison of special education systems, identifying how these systems institutionalized in different ways during the 19th and 20th centuries depending on national trajectories of centralization, welfare development, and professionalization. For example, it contrasts the segregated school model typical of Germany with the class-based integration model seen in the United States, highlighting how governance structures, legal cultures, and classificatory systems contributed to divergent patterns in special education delivery. The third part addresses contemporary paradoxes, such as the simultaneous rise of inclusive education rhetoric and practices of segregation, the contradictory outcomes of rights-based educational reforms, and the intersection of disability classification with broader mechanisms of social control (including the juvenile justice system). Particular attention is given to the implications of centralized vs decentralized governance for the implementation of inclusive practices, showing how political structure continues to influence the organization and delivery of services. The analysis also emphasizes the centrality of categorical labeling and the consequences these classifications have on students' life chances, institutional trajectories, and the reproduction of inequality. Drawing on data from international organizations, national statistics, legal decisions, and fieldwork, the authors use both macro-sociological and institutional analysis to uncover the social logics and historical contingencies that underlie the expansion, adaptation, and persistence of special education systems. The book contributes a dual framework of analysis: first, two structural dimensions-segregation vs. inclusion and centralization vs. decentralization; and second, the identification of institutional "logics" that shape policy implementation and resistance to reform across cultural and political contexts. For scholars and advanced students in sociology of education, disability studies, comparative education, and policy research, the book offers empirically grounded typologies and theoretical models that can be applied to case study design, institutional evaluation, or transnational research. Its comparative perspective, particularly the integration of Western and non-Western models, makes it relevant for global education policy analysis, while its emphasis on interdisciplinary synthesis provides conceptual tools for navigating the complexity of special and inclusive education systems. The volume can also support curriculum development and reform analysis by providing historical depth, system-level comparisons, and an account of how discursive shifts (e.g., from medical to social models of disability) interact with institutional structures. Ultimately, it equips researchers and policy analysts with a critical understanding of how national systems of special education have emerged and diverged. N° de réf. du vendeur 011509
