Abstract
One of the key purposes of this volume is to examine how issues of equity, access, and fairness, as applied to educational and social policies, represent a recently constructed concerted and powerful response to a four-decade global diffusion of neo-liberal ideology and in alternative cases, state authoritarianism. Certainly, the rise of social protest in 2011, continuing through 2012 and even in some situations onwards, demonstrates evidence for the breadth of this response.
