Contribution
The paper attempts to explore the conflict between these two forces of globalisation and nationalism. It also seeks to develop theoretical positions within which educational institutions and practices can be understood to participate in both the forces and the conflict. It does this within the understanding of post-colonial discourse theory as well as more classical economic and sociological positions. Education itself is becoming globalised and is an essential component of the wider process. The paper examines the technologies and knowledge characteristics which underpin this process. The paper concludes by recognising nationalism and indeed colonialism as ongoing processes. It assesses the importance of educational institutions within a globalised economy. It recognises the importance of education in generating change at the level of the individual consciousness and asks how far this provides any agency for resistance against the two forces which the paper has discussed.
