The United Nations and education : multilateralism, development and globalization / Phillip W. Jones with David Coleman.

Abstract: "The UN is often questioned about its ongoing relevance and overall effectiveness in the twenty-first century, particularly in its involvement with educational policy and co-operation around the globe. This book examines the work of the key agencies within the UN system that share the vital role of addressing educational futures: UNESCO, the World Bank, UNICEF and UNDP." "This timely book will be essential reading for all those working with and for UN agencies, foreign aid workers and the development co-operation industry. At a time when education policies, budgets and strategies appear wide open to profound changes, this book will provide a much-needed roadmap to the future."--Jacket.
