This chapter explores the challenges of, and prospects for, research comparing educational organisations and institutions in and across societies.

Their focus has been diverse, ranging from educational policy and system-wide structures at the macro level to particularities of curriculum, pedagogy, leadership, management and governance at the micro level.
