From the Editor: Comparative Perspectives - Volume 9, Number 2, 2008

In this issue, several academic scholars or practitioners are featured by papers that reflect their current research. ... All scholars utilise their own investigative approaches and their corporate scholarship provides an element of pragmatism in producing productive and synergistic dialogue among scholars and practitioners alike. It is hoped that, among its other outcomes, this dialogue may lead to creative ideas in professionalising our fields of study (comparative and international education), which have often been perceived as ill-defined.
