This volume explores the topics of adult learning and
education through the specific lens of comparative research.
The book is divided into four chapters each of which
comprises an analytical essay followed by an anthology of
readings from a selection of key texts. These are chosen to
illustrate different conceptual and empirical approaches from
varying perspectives in different countries. The book is the
second of a series dedicated to adult learning and education
and developed under the auspices of the ESRALE (European
Studies and Research in Adult Learning and Education)
project. Its companion books are: Vanna Boffo, Paolo
Federighi, Ekkehard Nuissl, Empirical Research Methodology
in Adult Learning and Education- Authors and Texts and
Simona Sava, Petr Novotny (eds.), Researches in Adult
Learning and Education: The European Dimension.
